Chuck Anderson knew he was on to something when he found old love letters in the attic of his historic house at 306 Chautauqua Ave.
That find and others led to the Anderson home and two other Oklahoma houses being scheduled to be featured at 4 p.m. Monday on “If Walls Could Talk,” on HGTV.
HGTV learned of Anderson’s story from a Norman Transcript feature, “From Illinois with love,” published Oct. 13, 2007. The story was forwarded to the network by the Norman Chamber of Commerce.
The eight-minute segment was filmed Jan. 9. A camera crew spent all day with the Anderson family. The other two houses on the show are in Oklahoma City and McAlester.
“We had to clean up really fast after the ice storm,” said Chuck Anderson, who is a Norman podiatrist and foot surgeon. “We mulched and had to hire someone to haul (downed limbs after the massive Dec. 12 ice storm).”
The original story can be found in the Transcript’s archives at www.normantranscript.com/localnews/local_story_287000228.html.
Anderson said HGTV has told them they’ll send the family a DVD of the show.
“Which is really nice,” he said.
