Storefront exhibit, circa 1930s

 File — Box: 1, Folder: 7

Scope and Contents

Seven images of a storefront window exhibit most likely related to the Texas Centennial celebration held from 1935 to 1937. Handwriting on the back of each photo provides some identification. One photo reads, "This tree is near San Marcos river. Sam Houston stood and addressed a crowd here." A second photo reads, "The Brown Studio exhibit, miniatures and enlargements, 1790 to 1850. Queen of Parade Mrs. Ann Randle Pitts, Grand Marshall Samuel Kone." Other photos show storefront window displays of pioneer era furniture, kitchens, and other household items, and also contain more descriptive writings about the parade on the back of the photos. Also included in the folder is an exhibit panel that reads, "Newer things," presumed to be related to these photos.
