| Hill Texas Archive Research Notes | The McGregor house was originally located in Wesley, Texas. In 1969, Ima Hogg purchased the home and moved it to the Winedale Complex, which is approximately 15 miles from its original location. The signature of Grady Grimm (ca. 1905-1910?) on the back of the front door appears on top of the painted graining. |
