A Christmas Card / Picture of a Project - 1913

This postcard was sent as a Christmas Card to W.C. Stephenson by J.E. Click. Mr. Click is listed in the 1920 Bee County Census as a Plumber from Pennsylvania. His wife, Mary May, is listed as being born in Illinois, and she is listed as the County Home Demonstration Agent. I suspect that he was the plumber on the subject project. My Grandmother, Bridgett wrote on the card "This is one of Will's jobs half finished - how do you like him?". Notice the grand home has 4 side colums, and it appears there are 4 front colums (a common one on the corner) there doesn't seem to be a "front step" row of columns, and it also appears that there is to be a balcony on the front and side porch. This home is similar to the Pettus Home in Goliad, but the picture of the Pettus Home, completed, has no balcony and has another row of columns on the front porch. I have to conclude that this home is not the Pettus Home, and is an unknown project. If anyone recognizes it, please let me know where the home is located.
