  • WEST END PARK by Mike Vance and Presented to the Harris County Historical Commission
    1 An Application for an Official Harris County Historical Marker for WEST END PARK by Mike Vance and presented to the Harris County Historical Commission CONTEXT Houston in 1905 was a growing city that could be considered mostly Southern in nature. It was the completely un-air-conditioned home to fewer than 75,000 people.1 The bustling port operations were primarily located around the foot of Main Street, and city fathers billed their metropolis as “Where Seventeen Railroads Meet the Sea”. The city limits ended in a roughly four-mile square that centered around the site of the Courthouse at Congress and Fannin.2 7 - West End Park 3 – Ballpark at Travis & McGowen Map - 1904 Whitty 1 Morrison and Fourney Directory of Houston 1905; “Seventy Five thousand.” Houston Post 12 March 1905 2 Morrison and Fourney Directory of Houston 1904; P Whitty Map and Street Guide to Houston, 1904 Mike Vance West End Park for HCHC 22 March 2014 2 There is no doubt that baseball was the National Game in the first decade of the twentieth century.3 Football existed in college, and was quite popular, but an all-professional football league was still fifteen years away. Only championship boxing matches garnered the press coverage afforded baseball, and those were hardly everyday occurrences. All sports of the day did share one thing in common: they were vehicles for heavy gambling, and Houston was a hotbed of such activity.4 Much as they would continue to do into the current century, baseball stadiums were also occasional homes to other forms of entertainment.
