There are some great articles in this issue, supplied by our members. A consistent theme for this issue is the serendipitous moments we sometimes experience during our research. You will enjoy reading about Michael Butler and his brick empire, written by Phoebe Allen. Now I know where Butler Pitch and Putt got its name! It’s also bittersweet to see the painting of his stunning Victorian mansion, and to realize it has been demolished. I found it gives me a new understanding of our fair city and history. Great Grandpa, Serendipity and Me is a wonderful contribution from AGS Board member Jim Bridges. I can almost feel the Texas summer heat and the dry grass crunching under my feet as I follow along with Jim, discovering ghost towns and lost cemeteries. Kay Boyd provided an article outlining some of the collections available at the Portal to Texas history, along with an example of a court document for Perry Grumbles, who was caught gambling at Kino! Dick Peterson provided a very interesting article about a serendipitous find in a Swedish church attic, while he and several of his family were touring significant locations during a family reunion. I could almost smell the dust and see the dusty light beam of a cell phone flashlight as he described the moment. An associated article follows, about the family of Carl August Peterson and his descendants, and was supplied by Kay Boyd. After this publication, there is only one more edition of the Quarterly scheduled for the year. The December issue has a deadline of November 14 for article submissions. Why is this significant? This next edition will be the last chance to enter our 2015 Writing Contest! Be sure and get your stories submitted, as all qualifying articles that appear in a Quarterly during 2015 are automatically entered into the contest. A complete description of writing contest guidelines are posted on our website: austintxgensoc.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/2015_AGS_Writing_Contest_Guidelines.pdf I look forward to reading your articles! Thank you to those of you that contributed articles to the September quarterly! Thanks to you, we have another interesting edition with a diverse set of stories. I feel like I know more about Central Texas through the family stories you submit.

Austin was selected as the official and permanent capital of Texas in 1872, but was still a small town in 1873 when Irishman Michael Butler arrived and began manufacturing “Austin Common” bricks at the foot of East Avenue on the north bank of the Colorado River.

It's not even past." William Faulkner NOT EVEN PAST Tweet 3 Like THE PUBLIC HISTORIAN An Architectural History of Garrison Hall Making History: Houston’s “Spirit of the by Henry Wiencek Confederacy” As students and faculty members resume their classwork at Garrison Hall this semester, it is worth examining the iconic building’s colorful history and architectural conception. The first stages of Garrison’s development began in 1922 as the Board of Regents sought a new campus plan for the university. Although the Board had been employing the eminent New York City architect Cass Gilbert—whose achievements include the U.S. Supreme Court building, the Woolworth Building and various state capitols —pressure from local architects to patronize a Texas firm resulted in Gilbert’s termination. Subsequently, the University hired Herbert M. Greene of Dallas, James White of Illinois and Robert Leon White of Austin, who collaborated on a 1924 campus plan that included the future Garrison Hall. May 06, 2020 More from The Public Historian BOOKS America for Americans: A History of Construction began in 1925 and finished the following year, producing the 54,069 square foot edifice at a Xenophobia in the United States by cost of $370,000. Initially known as the “Recitation” building the new structure eventually borrowed its Erika Lee (2019) name from George Pierce Garrison (1853–1910), the history department’s first chair and a founding member of the Texas State Historical Association.
