| Kerrville, mid 1920s, taken from south of the river, looking east |
This photo was on a postcard I have in my collection -- titled "Thompson Sanatorium." That's the sanatorium in the foreground, with Kerrville in the background.
In the photo you can see
- Tivy High School
- The St Charles Hotel
- Several churches: (from left to right: the Union Church, Zion Lutheran, First Presbyterian, First Baptist, Notre Dame, St Peter's Episcopal)
- The third Kerr County courthouse
- Schreiner Company
- the Kerrville Roller Mill and the ice plant
- Pampell's
- the Favorite Saloon building
- Parson's Hall (which was where our parking lot is today, between Herring Printing Company and Grape Juice)
I was gathering materials for the upcoming show curated by the Friends of the Kerr County Historical Commission: "The Story of Us: the Impact of Tuberculosis in the Growth of Kerr County," which opens March 7, 2015 at the Schreiner Mansion Historic Site and Education Center, 226 Earl Garrett Street, Kerrville
In reference to the Ice Plant, it appears that the basement windows were open, and not closed with cement. At some point in time, they were cemented shut.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I don't see Reiter's Garage next to the Ice Plant. I suppose that it had not yet been constructed.
I have tried, and tried to see the Schreiner home on Water Street, but I have yet to locate it. Was it the
A.C. Schreiner home? I'm referring to the house that is just up the street from your printing company.
In the foreground, I see a barn, and a somewhat large home. Didn't one of the Schreiners live in that general area. I know there is a Schreiner home up on the hill, behind where the
photographer would have been standing when this photo was taken. But, I also thought that one of the
Schreiner boys lived closer to the river, where the barn, and houses can be seen in this photo.
