If you have pre-1970 photographs of identifiable places in our Houston viewing area, we'd love to hear from you. We can always use images of landmarks as they looked decades ago – the older the better – and images of places now lost to "progress." In addition, we have specific needs of images for the following upcoming stories:

  • Ship Channel refineries, especially Sinclair, before 1940
  • Galveston bath houses before 1930
  • Sharecroppers
  • Moonshine makers or revenue agents who went after them
  • Freedmenstown before 1950
  • Italian restaurants in Houston or Galveston before 1940
  • African-American fraternal organizations such as the Masons, Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, etc.
  • Barnstorming baseball teams coming through Southeast Texas
  • Houston Colt .45s baseball team
  • The town of Crosby before 1940
  • The Beaconsfield, Rossonian or Savoy high rise apartment buildings
  • Houston first junior high schools: Marshall (North Side), South Side, Hogg, Jackson, E.O. Smith or Deady

If you have photos* in regards to these upcoming stories or other images, please e-mail us at sconlon@houstons55.com.
