TRACYS BOTTLE HOUSE 907 South Jefferson Wellington, Kansas. THIS BOTTLE HOUSE WAS BUILT BY C. E. TRACY ( My Great Grandfather) it took nine months to build most of that time spent looking for the bottles it is made of wood concrete and 5000 bottles a various shapes and descriptions for the bottles were collected on trips to California and back my great grandfather built this house behind the house that he built in Wellington, Kansas. The bottle house is no longer there. It was in a museum and then in a traveling show that was in a fair that went from town to town. A family has lost track of it probably somewhere in some museum in the Midwest as a family were hoping to track it down one day. There’s some pictures of the old Tracy bottle house along with some awesome pictures of my great grandparents Clem and Winnie Tracy we both passed before I got a chance to meet them but my Popo spent many years telling me stories about his dad and mom now I have the pictures to match the stories. Thank you for my family for trusting me with all these awesome pictures. Love you all hopefully one day we can trap the bottle house down. #tracysbottlehouse #bottlehouse #houseofbottles #tracy #clemtracy

A picture of the bottle house and my great grandparents colorized.

My Great Grandparents Clem E. Tracy and Winnie ( Floyd ) Tracy I’m related to them via my mom Aka, Mama Jenny this is her father Lawrence J Tracy Aka Popo parents is also my Irish roots connection and my connection to the famous outlaw pretty boy Floyd my great grandmother Winnie Floyd was his aunt.

The Tracy’s in color… I so wish I could’ve met them and talk to them. Thank you so much for this big beautiful family and all your hard work back in the day your son Larry your 10th child turned out to be my Popo my grandfather and my hero in life. Can’t think you both enough one day I will thank you up in heaven love this picture. You can tell it was a great depression in the middle of Midwest America Wellington, Kansas. These two raised 10 kids during the Great Depression.

Sunsets & Tacos a few of my favorite things in life🤙 my wife took me for Father’s Day to one of our favorite spots to watch sunsets out on the California Delta located at Tower Park marina is a great place to soak up the golden hour. Get some good food. They even have live music on the weekends. There are so many awesome spots out on the Delta like I always say love the place you live live the place you love. The sunset for me will forever be known as Popo sunset. It was quite the emotional Father’s Day after losing my grandfather earlier that morning pretty profound on Father’s Day for him to be called home to our Heavenly Father 🙏❤️✝️ rest in peace Popo I’ll be down here soaking up all the sunsets for the both of us until we meet again. #bbqbluesman #getbusyling🤙 #sunsets #goldenhour #deltalife taken in Tower Park Marina by @bbqbluesman
