• William Giddings Farrington arrived in Houston in 1926 with $40 in his
  pocket and a head full of dreams.
• He was a builder, and he left indelible marks of beauty and utility
  throughout the city.
• He was a "risktaker" who was willing to stake his all on a project where
  faith was his only collateral.

Besides recounting the life of such an extraordinary man the book delves deep
into the history of Houston and its growth and development.

One of Mr. Farrington's greatest accomplishments was the development of
the charmed neighborhood called Tanglewood. What started out as prairie
land now consists of one of the most beautiful tree lined neighborhoods in
Houston and becomes lovelier with each passing year.
