Many buildings of his fine rock work are still used today; among them the First National Bank at Bronte, Texas, the First State Bank at Winters, Texas; (it is of brown rock or brick); he also built the old Methodist Church at Ozona, near the courthouse - this was built at a later date and is used as center for historical items.
