Reposted from @etxtraveler Mary Allen Seminary (later called Mary Allen Junior College) in Crockett, Texas was the first black women's college in the state of Texas. Initially a parochial school founded and run by Presbyterians, it was restructured in 1924 and became an accredited junior college with an all-black faculty and black administrator in 1933. The school was closed in 1943, reopened the following year, and operated until 1972. This photo was a finalist in the 'We Are East Texas' photo contest. 📸 by @truecolors_shining ***If you would like to view all of the winners in our photo contest, click on the link in our bio: https://www.weareeasttexas.com/photo-contest-2020-winners/.

Shared from @etxtraveler . Wow, look at the detail and care that has gone into this house! Pictured is the W.H. Stark House in Orange, Texas. This house is available to tour, although it is currently closed due to a water leak. If you're planning to visit keep an eye on their website for more information: http://starkculturalvenues.org/whstarkhouse or @stark.cultural.venues⁠ ⁠ House history:⁠ Completed in 1894, the house is classified in the Queen Anne architectural style, which is characterized by long sloping roofs, second-floor balconies, Jacobean chimneys, wide verandas, and octagonal or round towers. The house was vacant from 1936 until 1970 when renovations began and eventually was turned into a museum, complete with 3 stories of original decor and fixtures. ⁠ ⁠ 📸Larry D.

We have a mated pair of roadrunners who nest close-by and frequent our yard. I had no idea that they spend any time up in trees. The female (1, 2, 3) often sits on this branch in the afternoon, and hangs out. In 4, you can just make out the male above her, swooping in to join her. He’s a lot shyer than she is, so tends to hang in the cover of leaves and play peek-a-boo. That’s him in 5, and off to the right in 6. The tree where they sit is about 10 feet from my kitchen door.

@etxtraveler  If you ever decide to travel waaay out west, you can come sit in my back yard and bird watch!

Reposted from @etxtraveler Millard's Crossing is a charming, reconstructed historic village situated on the north side of Nacogdoches, Texas. This remarkable museum complex is named for the railroad track that once crossed through the Millard family property and now borders the north side of the village. Established by the late Lera Millard Thomas, the Village comprises a broad sampling of 19th century East Texas architecture from simple log cabins to Victorian homes. All of the structures were moved from their original sites and restored by Mrs. Thomas. She created the village in an effort to preserve and display early buildings, antiques, tools and memorabilia that are part of the cultural heritage of Texas. @visitnac 📸 by @wright_shot_gallery (at Millard's Crossing Historic Village) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEsyYy3jOIs/?igshid=1rqih9x08tr36

Seven months after slaves were freed in Texas (June 19, 1865), a small group of freed slaves organized the first African American Baptist Church in Houston, Texas. They were assisted by the First Baptist Church and local missionaries. The church, located in the center of Freedman’s Town, was the first brick structure in Houston to be built and owned by African-Americans. The Gothic features of Antioch Missionary Baptist Church, with pointed arch windows and doors, have been nationally acclaimed. And, today's members still worship in the sanctuary's original handmade pews. Amidst the skyscrapers of Houston, Antioch Missionary Baptist Church continues to serve the needs of her people and community, proudly proclaiming the message: Jesus Saves. ************************* #unsquares #signatureshots #igtexas #goodtexasliving #inspiretexasnow #rebelsunitedoct2017potd Day 5 Urban scrapes #houstonstrong #texasstrong #igtexas #houstonphotographers #learnsomethingnewmonday #rebel_scapes #etxtraveler #antiochbaptistchurch #houston #houstontx #htx #ilovetexas #skyline #vivalavida #ilovejesus #jesuschrist #jesussaves #everydayisablessing (at Antioch Missionary Baptist Church)
