Northeast Texas Rural Heritage Center and Museum

The Northeast Texas Rural Heritage Center and Museum is a museum in Pittsburg, Texas. It consists of two separate facilities, the Depot Museum and the Farmstead Museum. The Depot Museum is located in a former Cotton Belt railroad depot that was built in 1901. It includes documents and photographs of local and regional historical interest, including artifacts that date from Pittsburg's foundation in 1854. The museum is also home to a collection of antique farming equipment, a display on prominent local people, an art gallery, a wildlife diorama, and an archaeological exhibit documenting the native Caddo. The Depot Museum is perhaps best known for its replica of the Ezekiel Airship, which it acquired in 2001. In 1902, a year before the Wright Flyer flew at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, the Ezekiel Airship was claimed to have flown in Pittsburg. According to these claims, the flight took place in the presence of only a handful of witnesses, and those involved allegedly took an oath of silence; there is no physical evidence to support any of the claims. Historians of human flight have generally dismissed claims that the Ezekiel Airship was the first aircraft to successfully make a heavier-than-air flight; some, however, believe that it may have achieved uncontrolled flight. The full-size replica, based largely on a single surviving photograph, was built by local craftsman Bob Lowery and the Pittsburg Optimist Club in 1986 and 1987. Prior to its acquisition by the museum, the replica was on display at the Pittsburg Hot Links restaurant in downtown Pittsburg. Other industrial and technological exhibits at the Depot Museum include a 1925 American LaFrance fire truck, a Ford Model T, a surrey built in 1909, an 1890s steam engine, a printing press, a working telegraph station, and a telephone switchboard that dates to 1894. The Farmstead Museum consists of a restored early 20th-century farmhouse along with a barn and smokehouse. The house is furnished with period furniture, and the farmstead also includes a demonstration garden were cotton and corn are grown. Additionally, the farmstead features exhibits and demonstrations dedicated to period practices relating to work, leisure, childrearing, cooking, and other aspects of rural family life.

East Plano Islamic Center

The East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) is a mosque located in Plano, Texas. The current building of the masjid opened in July 2015. The current Imam is Nadim Bashir, and the current resident scholar is Yasir Qadhi. The mosque is one of many mosques in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. History EPIC started with small gatherings in several garages in 2003 and became a non-profit later that year. The founders would meet up in the Islamic Association of North Texas and would plan its future. After a location in a trailer followed by a location in a strip mall, EPIC moved to a building of about 10,000 square feet in 2008. It moved into a much larger, newer facility in 2015. The mosque had its first funeral service in June 2016, for a high school student who grew up going to EPIC. COVID-19 During the COVID-19 pandemic, EPIC masjid was cautious about reopening in full due its large population of doctors and specialists who saw the pandemic effects first hand. EPIC masjid was the last to open all prayer areas from March 13, 2020, to April 9, 2021, although the main Musalla was closed during that time. It had even more restrictions in Ramadan 2021. It had the least restrictions of any masjid during Eid-ul-Adha of 2020 with prayers in the gym area with limited capacity. One year later, for Ramadan 2022, all COVID restrictions were gone, including mask mandates. During 2021 Ramadan, the masjid was able to raise close to a million dollars (~$814,500) during its fundraising night. EPIC City In 2024, EPIC announced EPIC City, a planned Islamic community-centered residential development project in Texas, situated approximately 40 minutes from Dallas near the town of Josephine. The initiative spans 402 acres across unincorporated portions of Collin and Hunt counties. The proposed community is designed to feature over 1,000 residential units, along with a mosque, a K–12 faith-based school, a community college, and commercial shopping facilities.

Scanlan Building

The Scanlan Building is a building in Downtown Houston. History The building was first envisioned by Thomas Howe Scanlan, two-time mayor of Houston, to be built on the property he owned at Main and Preston streets. After his death in 1906, his seven daughters built the building as a memorial to him. Approximately 85 feet by 101 feet, the building was among the first in Houston to use a fireproof steel skeleton. The Scanlan Building, located at 405 Main Street in Houston, Texas, is an eleven-story, 76,403sq.ft building completed in 1909. Built on the site of the first official home of the president of the Republic of Texas, it was the first building of its size and type to be designed by a major national architect to be built in Houston, and set the style for future construction in the area. It is the only known office building in Houston which was designed by D.H. Burnham & Company of Chicago. The building was the first to be built higher than ten stories, breaking the limit preferred by Houston developer Jesse H. Jones. D. H. Burham & Company started work on the Scanlan Building just after the Columbian Exhibition of 1893. The steel-frame building was built in the Chicago style, with an L-shaped inner structure, permitting ventilation to the interior of the building. Facial details were restricted to the street sides of the building. Above the ground floor, all floors had an identical plan, with halls with offices on both sides, and one outer executive suite, including an interior office separated from the corridor by a receptionist office. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 23, 1980. Current use Workspace provider Novel Coworking purchased the Scanlan Building in June 2014 and renovated the building's interior to provide private offices and co-working space for entrepreneurs and small businesses that need flexible, short-term workspace. As of February 2024, the owners, Level One, a subsidiary of Expansive (a renaming of Novel), defaulted on its loan due in November 2023. The Scanlan Building was scheduled for foreclosure auction in March 2024.

Cancer, There Is Hope

Cancer, There Is Hope is a bronze sculpture by Victor Salmones. The Richard and Annette Bloch Cancer Survivors Plaza at Hermann Park Twenty-four Cancer Survivors Parks were built across the US and Canada. They are all different but designed with the same elements: A walk with bronze plaques containing inspirational and instructional information The Cancer, There Is Hope sculpture of eight people passing through a maze that represents cancer treatment A walk with bronze plaques containing information about cancer and basic actions to overcome it The park program was founded by Richard Bloch (co-founder of H&R Block) and his wife Annette Block, after Richard survived lung cancer. He was treated at MD Anderson Cancer Center. The parks were part of a larger program supporting cancer research and patient education. The first park was in Bloch's home town, Kansas City, and the second was in Houston where he was treated. Plaza details The plaza is in Hermann Park's northern-most tip, between the Mecom Fountain and the Mecom-Rockwell Colonnade and Fountain. It has a stone gazebo with an ornate wrought iron dome, which encloses a small pool and fountain that represents the "burning point of life." This gazebo is surrounded by the plaza area, which includes the bronze sculpture, Cancer, There is Hope. Sculpture details Cancer, There is Hope was created by Mexican sculptor Victor Salmones (1937–1989). Salmones studied at Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes y Literatura and apprenticed under Otto Hofmann. He would go on to be awarded prizes at national art expositions and held one-person shows globally. He sculpted, mostly in bronze with lost-wax casting, until his death from cancer in 1989. The Houston sculpture was cast shortly thereafter in 1990. The sculpture was dedicated in Hermann Park on May 16, 1993. The sculpture originally had eight people of various ages passing through the maze of cancer treatment. Thieves stole some of the figures and vandals destroyed other figures beyond repair, and so the remaining sculpture has fewer figures than it did originally. Other works by Salmones in the Houston area Salmones also created Leapfrog in 1976, which is a bronze statue near the reflection pond in the Houston Zoo in Hermann Park.
