After returning home from the war, Richard Overton came to Austin, Texas. And he decided to build a home. And it is the same home he lived in until his passing.

Overton said, “I paid $4,000 for this house in 1945. I ain’t trying to move. This is where I sit and rest.” He was happy, living a relatively ordinary life. In his words: “I still walk. I still talk. I still drive.” He even got his licensed renewed when he was 109.
