Effort For Historic Listing
2007 The county in updating historic property inventory had the Roadhouse nominated by the Live Oak History group as one of its highest priorities for listing.
The owner's daughters gave the tenants 60 days to vacate, and fenced the property with chain link and barbed wire. They hired an attorney and an historian, Anthony Kirk PhD, to challenge the Historic designation.

“Woman, essentially a purist, is naturally bigoted and relentless in her effort to make others as good as she thinks they ought to be.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“If there is any period one would desire to be born in, is it not the age of Revolution; when the old and the new stand side by side, and admit of being compared; when the energies of all men are searched by fear and by hope; when the historic glories of the old can be compensated by the rich possibilities of the new era?”
