Focusing on the period between the 1850s and the 1940s, Hafertepe shares not only portraits of these homes but also provides insight to how their inhabitants lived--from the wealthiest merchants to the humblest day laborers. In \u003ci\u003eHistoric Homes of Waco, Texas, Second Edition\u003c\/i\u003e, Hafertepe enhances the oriinal material with the addition of some of Waco's oldest houses, two very prominent Victorian mansions, and a more humble, eclectic cottage made famous by the wildly popular television show \u003ci\u003eFixer Upper\u003c\/i\u003e. He incorporates material gleaned from city directories, fire insurance maps, census and cemetery records, and other archival and published sources along with new evidence to refine building dates, builder information, and family records. More than 120 color photographs paint a complete picture. \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe popular enthusiasm for the television series featuring Waco-area \"fixer-uppers,\" coupled with the burgeoning local industry generated by the show's two charismatic hosts, has certainly boosted interest in historic homes and buildings in Waco.
