Badu House Home Page . THE BADU HOUSE   This classic Italian Renaissance style building was built as First National Bank of Llano in 1891. In 1898 a French mineralogist, N.J. Badu, purchased the building for his family home. The Badu House has been restored as a bed and breakfast, restaurant and club. The bar in the lounge has a top made out of Llanite, a stone found nowhere in the world but Llano County. It is the largest assembly of polished Llanite in the world.
