  • 2018 Biennial Report to Protect
    2017 /2018 Biennial Report To protect and preserve the state’s historic and prehistoric resources for the use , education , enjoyment , and economic benefit of present and future generations . Front cover: A statue at the THC’s new San Felipe de Austin Museum. J LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dear Friends, Texans are fortunate to have a dynamic cultural history—the envy of anyone who doesn’t call the Lone Star State home. At the Texas Historical Commission (THC), we’re excited about preserving the places that embody this heritage. It’s our job, but it’s also our passion as proud Texans. For the last two years the THC has translated this passion into successful projects and initiatives that preserve our unique history while generating measurable economic impact on communities across Texas. This report showcases the agency’s activities during the past biennium and demonstrates that we truly embrace our responsibility of preserving the real places that tell the real stories of Texas. Our most exciting accomplishment was opening the state-of-the art San Felipe de Austin Museum near Sealy. Planned for decades, Texas’ newest history museum tells the story of the founding of the Republic of Texas with highly interactive and dynamic exhibits. We also celebrated the rededication of the Karnes County Courthouse in Karnes City, where hundreds of local residents gathered to commemorate the impressively restored 1894 building. We were humbled to see so many people appreciating the hard work of local and state restoration efforts through our Texas Historic Courthouse Preservation Program. Our agency experienced challenges, as did much of the state.

  • 2019/2020 Biennial Report Front Cover: San Jacinto Monument Inside Cover: Hopkins County Courthouse LETTER from the EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
    2019/2020 Biennial Report Front cover: San Jacinto Monument Inside cover: Hopkins County Courthouse LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Friends: We Texans have always been a proud group. We’re fortunate to have an enduring cultural legacy and diverse history like no other state. Here at the Texas Historical Commission (THC), we’re not just proud—we’re passionate about preserving this history. It’s our job, and it’s also our honorable mission as Texans. Over the past biennium, this resolve was tested. But we prevailed. Unanticipated natural obstacles—from a pandemic to a tornado to hurricanes—proved to be immense hurdles. But we found a way to overcome them. Our resilience, tenacity, and adaptability have benefitted the State of Texas. That has served us well, especially as we’ve endured the coronavirus crisis, which has disrupted almost every facet of our work. Whatever changes occur as the pandemic passes, one thing that won’t change is the THC’s strong network of supporters, sites, and community groups, all partnered to preserve important historic resources across the entire state. No virus, hurricane, or tornado can shatter that network or our partners’ dedication to this cause. Our agency has continued essential and routine work duties, while also expanding our audiences and offering new educational and interpretative programs. When this crisis ends, technologies and practices that were embraced out of necessity will benefit our day-to-day efforts to build communities, educate students, and provide more efficient services to our constituents. We continue to refine and improve the State Historic Sites transferred to us by the Legislature in 2019.

Photo: Mount Vernon Optic-Herald THCBien16c_THCBiennial04Ec 11/8/16 12:08 PM Page 1 J LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Lately, you don't have to look too hard to see how popular Texas history and our historic places are to the world. Millions watched “Texas Rising,” an entertaining depiction of the post-Alamo Texas Revolution. While not historically satisfying, the miniseries demonstrated the audience for dramatizations of Texas history—even those filmed in Mexico. A more acclaimed series, “The Leftovers,” filmed on location in Lockhart, showcasing the restored Caldwell County Courthouse. HBO featured the courthouse prominently in the show and its promotions. In Bexar County, the San Antonio Missions received World Heritage Site designation, allowing Texas to tap a global network of cultural tourists. It draws even more international visitors to San Antonio, already a top heritage travel destination. The lesson is clear—Texas history isn’t dead words in dusty volumes, or old buildings falling into decay. Texas history is alive, inspiring and fascinating audiences as much today as it did in years past. Our history is the story of Texas’ unique culture of entrepreneurism, individualism, and multiculturalism.

  • Development Plat Submittal Requirements
    CITY OF HOUSTON Archaeological & Historical Commission ____ Planning and Development Department LANDMARK DESIGNATION REPORT LANDMARK NAME: Stowers Building AGENDA ITEM: C.1 OWNERS: Nazar Momin, Trend Hospitality, LP HPO FILE NO.: 15L308 APPLICANT: Anna Mod, SWCA Env. Consultants DATE ACCEPTED: Apr-01-2015 LOCATION: 820 Fannin Street - Downtown HAHC HEARING DATE: Apr-23-2015 SITE INFORMATION Lots 1 & 2, Tracts 3A, 12A, 13, 13A & 13B, Block 93, SSBB, City of Houston, Harris County, Texas. The site includes a ten story commercial building. TYPE OF APPROVAL REQUESTED: Landmark Designation HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE SUMMARY The Stowers Building at 820 Fannin Street is a representative example of early high-rise construction in Houston with a combination of traditional classical and Chicago style influences. Designed by the Houston architectural firm Green & Finger and completed in 1913, the Stowers Building is an excellent example of the Commercial Style of the early twentieth century and marks a shift to simplified exterior ornamentation while respecting the traditional composition of base, shaft, and cornice. A notable architectural feature of the Stowers Building is the use of white glazed brick for the exterior veneer. Located at 820 Fannin Street in Houston’s commercial business district, the 1913 Stowers Building was the Houston headquarters for the G. A. Stowers Furniture Company and its third Houston location. The Stowers Building was nominated for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) under Criterion C for Architecture at the local level of significance. In January 2015, the Texas State Board of Review approved the nomination and submitted the nomination to the National Park Service.
