1930-31 home on Boca Chica Blvd near Brownsville Airport
One bedroom home built by Les Mauldin. His wife Etelka "Tita" and daughter Junita in doorway. An outhouse was later added next to building.

By 1933 the one-bedroom home was a storage shed. This photo was probably taken by Charles Hardin. His wife, Katherine is seen holding broken pieces of furniture while Etelka "Tita" Mauldin poses with a smile. The ladies are all wearing bright white while Les is dirty from all the clean-up work. Junita looks like she is holding mangoes.
