Marker Text: ​Harry and Beryl Vinnedge, who distributed roasted coffees and other goods through their Worth brand wholesale foods, rented this 1913 home in its early years. Nicolena (Lala) Loicano, a native of Sicily and widowed mother of 10, purchased the home in 1923. Her sons ultimately owned many Fort Worth businesses, including a grocery store, pharmacies, clubs, and Big State Coin Machine Co., distributor of jukeboxes, snooker tables and gaming machines. The cross-gabled California style bungalow features overhanging eaves with exposed rafters and heavy decorative beams framing its prominent front porch.

Location: 2008 Fairmount Avenue, Fort Worth
