<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Chris1948, post: 246588, member: 4874&quot;]I was actually surprised to see that the building was still there when I searched and the fact that&#039;s it&#039;s 108yrs old now does testify to how well they build there. I remember the coal chute we had in our house in O&#039;Fallon, Il. and getting up in the morning to take the &#039;clinkers&#039; out of the furnace. I think it was sometime in the 50&#039;s my dad got one of those coal hopper devices put in that automatically put the coal into the furnace. My dad was a broadcast engineer at KSTL there in St. Louis for many years. I would have to assume that it got to Galveston possibly by some relative that moved from St. Louis to Galveston?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
