An old house.


The Haunted Littlefield House

It is the only and the oldest house on campus. It is 131 years old. 
It was built by George Littlefield in 1893. 
The legend about "The Littlefield house". George and Alice Littlefield was a loving couple. They couldn't have children. When George went out of the house, he used to lock Alice in the attic of house. Alice got sick (mental issues). After George died, due to a pneumonia, Alice recovered her health. When Alice was alive, she usually played the piano. The legend is that the piano is sometimes still heard.

Last Wednesday, on July 31st, at 9:30 p.m. my friends and I went to Math, Physics and Astrology Building, this is the highest bulding at the University of Texas at Austin (t he building was completed in 1972) . It has seventeen floors. On this bulding there is a big telescope, we went there to observe the stars, but we can just see two stars. On the other hand, the view  from UT  was wonderful. We can't see many stars but we saw Ut shine.

 On Sunday evening, during my walking I found a very huge building, it really impressed me with its size. I think it is the biggest bulding of the UT. It is The Institute of Latin American Studies and Collection, it is near the LBJ Library and Museum buiding, that is huge too. There is a big monument in front of The Institute of Latin American Studies and Collection building, it is The San Lorenzo Monument, a replica of an Olmec colossal head of ancient Mesoamerica. https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/llilas/news/olmec-head-sculpture-donated-to-llilas
