Matagorda Peninsula Army Airfield

Matagorda Peninsula Army Airfield is a closed military airfield, located on Matagorda Island, Texas. It was used during World War II as a training airfield by the 77th Flying Training Wing, Army Air Forces Central Flying Training Command. History World War II The airfield was built during 1942 by the Army Air Corps, primarily to support the Matagorda Bombing Range. In addition it was also developed as a training school by Army Air Forces Training Command. Matagorda AAF was the home of the AAF Pilot School (Advanced Single Engine), and also conducted a Single-Engine Pilot Transition school. The major military units assigned were the 62d Single Engine Flying Training Group and 79th Bombardier Training Group. Initially built with three runways, during the war two additional runways were added to accommodate the large number of landings and takeoffs. Aircraft assigned to the base were North American AT-6 Texans, Curtiss P-40 Warhawks, Republic P-47 Thunderbolts, and North American P-51 Mustangs. A series of curved roads on the east side of the parking ramp had dozens of buildings. After the war ended, the training school was inactivated and the facility was closed in November 1945. Civil use After the war ended, the airfield was transferred to civil control and was known as Matagorda Peninsula Airport. In the late 1940s, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics considered Matagorda Island as a rocket launch site, however Cape Canaveral, Florida was chosen instead. In the 1980s, a private firm, Space Services, Inc. of America (SSIA), established a rocket launch facility on the island for commercial rockets with the airport, known as Pierce Field, providing aircraft access. They Intended to launch and operate the Percheron rocket out of the airfield, but were later told off by the locals, and moved 34 miles to the very southern end of Matagorda Island to the former Star Brand Ranch of early investor, Toddie Lee Wynne.

Norton–Polk–Mathis House

The Norton–Polk–Mathis House, also known Villa Finale, is a historic house in San Antonio, Texas, United States. Local merchant Russel C. Norton began construction on the house in 1876. The house was designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1971. It is a contributing property to the King William Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is also a National Trust Historic Site, the only one in Texas. The house was remodeled with additions of a second story, rear gallery, and Italian Renaissance Revival Tower. Other owners included rancher Edwin Polk and cattleman Ike T. Pryor. The house was then turned into a boarding house until 1967, when it was purchased by local civic leader Walter Nold Mathis. Mathis spent two years restoring the house and named it Villa Finale as he planned on it being his last home. He then purchased fourteen other homes in the King William neighborhood, restored them and sold them to others whom he hoped would continue to preserve them. The home was donated to the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 2004 which operates it as a museum.

Dallas Hall

Dallas Hall is a historic building on the campus of Southern Methodist University (SMU) in University Park, Texas. Influenced by the Roman Pantheon and architecture by Thomas Jefferson, it was constructed by the architectural firm of Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge in 1915. The first building on campus, it housed most of the university's operations. The campus has since been expanded around Dallas Hall, but it remains the center of SMU. It was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. History Dallas Hall was designed by the Chicago branch of the architectural firm Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge. Robert Stewart Hyer (1860–1929), the first President of SMU, chose Georgian architecture after the Thomas Jefferson-designed architecture of the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia. The building's architecture was inspired by the Pantheon. As a sign of appreciation towards local citizens who had given 622.5 acres and $300,000 to found the campus, it was named "Dallas Hall" in their honor. Construction began in 1912, and the cornerstone was laid on November 28, 1912. It was dedicated in 1915, making it the first building on campus. The site chosen for Dallas Hall is one of the highest points in Dallas County. It stood alone on a flat prairie. This, and the building's monumental size, is the origin of SMU's nickname, "The Hilltop". Constructed of brick, it is three stories tall. The building was oriented so that the crest of the building perfectly aligned with the Praetorian Building, then the tallest building in Dallas. Upon its opening, all of the university's facilities, except for female dorms and temporary housing for some male students, were housed in Dallas Hall. It housed all classrooms for a decade after opening. Over the years, it has been home to classrooms, offices, a chapel, a hamburger grill, a post office and a barbershop. A highly symmetrical campus has since been constructed around Dallas Hall. It celebrated its 100th anniversary on November 12, 2012, with a dinner for university administrators and donors. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 17, 1978. Dallas Hall is used for SMU's convocations and graduations.

Hilton Palacio del Rio

The Hilton Palacio del Rio is a 485-room, 21-story hacienda-style hotel in San Antonio, Texas that opened in 1968. The hotel was constructed for the 1968 World's Fair, HemisFair '68, and was designed by Cerna & Garza Architects. The structure is notable for being a milestone in the use of Modular building construction techniques. Traditional construction methods would not allow the hotel to be completed in the short timeframe available before for the opening of the fair on April 6, 1968, so alternative methods were explored. H.B. Zachry Company utilized traditional construction to build the first 4 floors, slip form construction for the services/elevator core of the building and all guest rooms of the hotel were constructed as modular units in a location 7 miles from the construction site. Modular units were built complete with plumbing fixtures, lighting, art work, furnishings and even ash trays. In a nationally televised event, H.B. Zachry and his wife Molly were the first people to check into and "ride" their hotel room, Room No. 522, into the hotel. All rooms were placed in 46 days and the structure was completed in a record 202 working days with crews working around the clock in staggered shifts. The hotel opened 5 days early on April 1, 1968. The hotel features rich South Texas stylings and original art with the room interiors consisting of five different decor designs executed with custom built furniture by W.R. Dallas Furniture Studio, in San Antonio and rich fabrics in harmony with the overall theme of royal Spanish living. References Tall Story - Hilton Palacio del Rio: H.B.
