Description: Houston Then and Now (R) by William Dylan Powell Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Part of the 4-miliion-selling-trademark series from Pavilion Books - a vivid historical tour of Houston, with the same view photographed today, from a great local author. Publisher Description In 1836 revolutionaries routed the Mexican army at the Battle of San Jacinto and the nearby town took the name of the battles victor, General Sam Houston. Since that time Houston has become Americas fourth largest city, and its magnificent cityscape of concrete, glass, and steel bears little resemblance to traditional Texas imagery. Its easy to see why its residents, showing allegiance to their unique heritage, proudly refer to themselves as Houstonians rather than Texans. It was an entrepreneurial New York family who first promoted Houstons lush landscape and vast potential in the Northeast and Europe, and the town expanded from a handful of tents into a place of over 10,000 residents by 1900. Oil was discovered nearby in 1901 and from then on Houston never looked back.Sites include: City Hall, Carnegie Library, Houston Courthouse, Merchants and Manufacturers Building, Allens Landing, Houston Chronicle, Main and Preston, Sam Houston Hotel, USS Texas, San Jacinto Monument, Congress Avenue, Houston Water Works, Hermann Building, Texas Capitol Building, Majestic Metro, Old Cotton Exchange, Gulf Building, Moorish Federal Building, Carters Folly, Kress Building, Union Station, Esperson Building, Antioch Church, Houston Light Guard Armory, Magnolia Brewery, Grand Central Station, Rice University, Museum of Fine Arts, Hermann Park, Miller Outdoor Theatre and Warwick Hotel.
