In 1886 the Board of Missions for Freedmen of the Presbyterian Church in the United States, under the leadership of the group's secretary the Rev. Richard Allen, began planning for the establishment of a black girls' school in Texas. After a statewide survey, they chose Crockett as the school site because of the area's large black population and because of a local black parochial school operated by the Rev. Samuel Fisher Tenny, pastor of the city's First Presbyterian Church. The Rev. Allen's wife Mary, for whom the school was named, was instrumental in raising the organizational funds for the new seminary. Dr. Byrd R. Smith became the school's first black president in 1924 and initiated a period of growth which included the adoption of new programs and the admission of male students. Transferred to the Missionary General Baptist Convention of Texas in 1944, Mary Allen College became a 4-year liberal arts institution. In 1972, plagued by a series of legal and financial setbacks, the school closed. Once the site of a 12-building campus and the home of a noted academic program of quality education and religion, this site serves as a reminder of the proud heritage of Texas' black population. - historical marker #texasinstagram #Texas #igtexas #vanishingtexas #texas_ig #jj_lonestartx #jj_abandoned #rsa_rurex #ipulledoverforthis #renagade_rural #trb_members1 #trailblazers_rurex #rsa_outdoors #tmwanders #backroad_visions #abandoned #abandoned_junkies #grime_lords #ig_countryside #ruralexploration #rural #rsa_rural #abandoned #jj_lonestartx #jj_abandoned #rsa_outdoors #abandonedplaces #abandonedtexas #abandonedphotography (at Crockett, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnlmhEpOVWO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Aermotor Windmill Company, or Aermotor Company, is an American manufacturer of wind-powered water pumps. The widespread use of their distinctive wind pumps on ranches throughout the arid plains and deserts of the United States has made their design a quintessential image of the American West. La Verne Noyes, founder of Aermotor Windmill Company, had hired engineer Thomas O. Perry for a different job but saw the potential of the all-metal windpump developed by Perry after extensive experiments. The first Aermotor was sold in 1888, with 24 windmills in total being sold in the first year. Aermotor soon became a strong competitor among its contemporaries selling over 20,000 of its windmills by 1892. Over the next 30 years Aermotor grew and expanded, introducing accessories and variants on "the mathematical windmill." La Verne Noyes died in 1919. He left the Aermotor Company to a tax paying trust, with 48 colleges and universities as beneficiaries. Aermotor continued to innovate and manufacture windmills throughout World War II and helped to produce the top secret Norden bombsight. During the latter part of the century ownership of the Aermotor Company changed hands and had its operation moved and expanded to new venues, including the country of Argentina; Broken Arrow, Oklahoma; Brentwood, Missouri; and Conway, Arkansas. By 1981, 80% of all windmills manufactured in The United States had their genesis in Conway. In 1998 Aermotor was purchased by Kees Verheul, as owner and president. It now operates from a 40,000-square-foot (3,700 m2) facility in San Angelo, Texas. In 2006, the company was purchased by a group of West Texas ranchers, and the name restored to its original from 1888..."The Aermotor Company". architecture #grapevinetx #cityscapes #grapevine #citygrammers #dfw #citykillerz #texasarchitecture #grapevinetexas #aermotor #city_captures #aermotorwindmill #tarrantcounty #street_vision #raw_usa #architecturephoto #grapevinemainstreet #capturedfw #texascountry #raw_architecture #texas_ig #grapevinemain #texas🇨🇱 #architecturephotography #architecturelovers #architectureporn #Texas #visitdfw #skyline #northtexas (at Grapevine, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSFa3F2LSUH/?utm_medium=tumblr

“Love can make you do things that you never thought possible.” ~Phil Collins ************************************** Three years ago Phil Collins became a honorary Texan at a ceremony in Austin. Collins love for the Alamo began as a child watching the Walt Disney television show “Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier. Collins began collecting artifacts during his musical career with Genesis in the 1990s. Some of the items he donated to the Alamo are a rifle and leather pouch owned by Davy Crockett rifle and an original Jim Bowie knife. ************************************** . #unsquares #igtexas #hey_ihadtosnapthat #houstonartist #etxtravel #earth_shotz #texaspride #texasphotographer #jj_mytexas #texaslife #texashistory #ilovetexas #houstonphotographer #texassky #texasflag #philcollins #learnsomethingnewmonday #learnsomethingneweveryday #texas_ig #goodtexasliving #goandcapturethelight #texassky #canonfanphoto #canonphotography #teamcanon #texasphotographer #ifyoudontstandforsomethingyouwillfallforanything #sanjacintomountains #jj_nosquares (at San Jacinto Battle Ship Monument)

FATE, TX.Fate is on State Highway 66 and the Missouri, Kansas and Texas line four miles northeast of Rockwall in northern Rockwall County. The community's name derives from the nickname, "Fate," given to Lafayette Brown, one of the area's early settlers, by his wife. A post office was established in the community in July 1880. By the mid-1880s Fate had a school, a cotton gin, two general stores, and a population of seventy-five. In 1886, in anticipation of the arrival of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, Dr. Wylie T. Barnes platted a new community on his land about a half mile northeast of Fate, calling the new community Barnes City. The railroad built through later that year, and the residents and businesses of Fate moved to the new community. Seeking to avoid having to apply for a new post office, the residents of Barnes City changed their community's name to Fate in February 1887. By 1890 the community had fifteen businesses, a two-room school, two churches, and a population of 100. In 1899 the first rural mail route in Texas began operation from Fate. The population of the community continued to grow steadily through the 1890s and the first decades of the twentieth century, reaching 299 by 1920. The business community witnessed a similar growth, and Fate's first bank opened in 1907. Fate was incorporated in 1908. The federal highway reached the town after World War I. During the 1920s and 1930s the small community began to decline. While agriculture remained the area's major occupation, better roads and automobiles took trade from local merchants to those in larger towns. Nonetheless, a bank, a drugstore, and a number of stores remained in business at Fate. Fate's school eventually dropped its high school grades, and the community's population declined to 194 by 1930 and 127 by 1940. #architecture #dfwtexas #cityscape #city #streetphotography #dfw #fatetx #citykillerz #dfwphotography #texasarchitecture #texastown #dfwtexas #northtexas #smalltown #downtown #cityview #rockwallcounty #rural #dfwhistory #fatetexas #texas_ig #street_photography #streetview #texashistory #instagramtexas #city_captures #Texas #visitdfw #cityphotography #northtexas (at Fate, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSFdMA6LeTk/?utm_medium=tumblr
