Lee's art has been recording Huntsville scenes for most of his life. One of his specialities has been drawings of Twickenham houses.
Lee Harless has captured the spirit of Adams Street in his 1977 sketch of three harmonious but dissimilar homes, the Yeatman-Beck home (ca. 1825), the Van Dyke home (ca. 1895) and the Certain-Lacy home (ca. 1923).
About the Yeatman-Beck home:I remember a dance Willis Harris gave when we were teenagers. A lamp got knocked off by someone leaning against an old table. Willis nonchalantly said, "Good. I never liked that lamp." A good host and the best dancer in Huntsville.
