E. "Tommy" Thomas to house the Appliance Service Company operations, the family business. A long met- al storage building 1,530 square feet in size was added to the rear of the building for storage of appliances undergoing repair. There is also a small 200 square foot detached storage shed near the rear property line currently in disrepair. The applicants propose to rezone the property to residential and replace the Metal Buildings and storage shed with a new period -style house. 16. Historical Significance Statement of historical and cultural significance. Include: cultural influences, special events and important personages, influences on neighborhood, on the city, etc. The property located at 215 East Wall Street was owned by Eula E. Thweatt Thomas and H. E. "Tommy" Thomas. The 211 property was their homeplace; the 215 was their business site, Appliance Service Company. Retired Fire Chief and also former Parker Appliance Company salesman Bill Powers remembered that Mr. Thomas was about the only appliance repairman in the area at that time. "What we could not fix our- selves at Parker Appliance, we always took to Mr. Thomas and he could make the repair," Bill said. The 215 East Wall property is shown on the historic tax card along with the 211 East Wall property as belonging to James Joseph (J.J.) Thweatt and his wife Blanche Cook Thweatt and Eula E. Thweatt Thom- as, J.J.'s youngest sister. In 1963, the property was acquired by Eula E. Thweatt Thomas. Eula was mar- ried to H. E. "Tommy" Thomas in 1946. In July 1966 the Thomas family received a loan in the amount of $10,862.00 from the First National Bank of Grapevine, likely for the construction of the metal building for Appliance Service Company. Eula's grandparents were Joseph Thomas Thweatt and Sally Elizabeth Whitley who came to the Grape Vine Prairie in 1860 by covered wagon from Iowa. They had five children. Two of them were Robert Whitley Thweatt and Richard Lee Thweatt. Robert Whitley Thweatt had a son, Frank Leon Thweatt, who operated a service station on Northwest Highway behind this property location. His wife, Bernice Lucas Thweatt, was a member of the Bay View Club. Richard Lee Thweatt had a son and daughter, James Jo- seph Thweatt and Eula Elizabeth Thweatt who had the property at 211 East Wall Street. Robert Whitley Thweatt was one of Grapevine's Ice Men who delivered blocks of ice to Grapevine homes from the Grapevine Ice Company. He was also a hunting companion of Gordon and Bill Tate and other Grapevine community leaders. 17. Bibliography Historic Tax Card; Grapevine Area History book, published 1979; Charles H.
