If you missed the first installment of my Bill home tour (it’s really not that fancy, y’all. I just love architecture and Bill Clinton, and he has just so happened to live near where my family and I live), see my tour of Bill Clinton’s Birthplace in Hope, AR. On to Fayetteville, AR, where Bill purchased a home that Hillary loved just so she wouldn’t say no to his marriage proposals anymore. Talk about love!

Visiting museums and learning history from curators is like a big exciting grown-up story time for me. Scott (pictured below) volunteers his time to give tours of this presidential abode turned museum. He told my friend and I all about the history of the home while it belonged to our 42nd President of the United States of America and current Secretary of State. He absolutely made the presence of Bill & Hillary in this home and come to life.

It would be a cool place to live. Like the brick. And the way the picture windows reflect the day.

Yard needs a bit of work, but not much.

Not real thrilled about the sculpture of the...what do you think that thing IS?

11. Love the clinker bricks.

I knew someone who collected clinker brick buildings, especially apartment buildings. Great investments.

What are clinker bricks?

When fired in early brick kilns, the surface of bricks that were too close to the fire changed into volcanic textures and darker, EDMONTON 138often purplish colors. Typically they were discarded but around 1900, these bricks were discovered to be usable and distinctive in architectural detailing, adding a charming earthy quality to buildings. The hardened residue of coal fires is called clinker, thus these mutant bricks found a name. In Europe, it is spelled klinker.
