From back in the 1800's, Dick and Charlie’s Tea Room is the only establishment left of the original approximately 30 like it on the East side of Lake Caddo that were in a Wet county where the laws were lax and loosely enforced. On the west side where Uncertain, Texas is located, the county was dry and no alcohol was allowed to be sold. But on the East side, these structures were built and anything was allowed. The only way to get to these establishments was by boat as they were literally out in the swamp. They sold liquor, held dances, gambled, and some served as brothels. They literally were proud of the fact that they allowed anything to go on. In fact, if you'll notice, there is an old sign posted on the front of a tree that shows what the rules were for this establishment. It’s faded and hard to read now, but the three House Rules were, 1. There Ain’t Any, 2. There Never Was None, 3. There Ain’t Gonna Be None. This one is now privately owned and has been maintained as a fishing camp.

This "treehouse" was on Treehouse Masters awhile ago. Such a tired ol' structure. I can't find a photo of the building on the show, but I found the sign!
