History in Print featuring "Waxahachie Architecture Guidebook"

Preservation Dallas

Discover what the architecture of Waxahachie can teach us about buildings across Texas

<p>Waxahachie, located 30 miles south of Dallas, may not be the first place that comes to mind when you think of Texas architecture, but the city has a lot to teach us about residential, commercial and institutional styles found in cities and towns across the Lone Star State. Join Preservation Houston and Margaret Culbertson, co-author of the <em>Waxahachie Architecture Guidebook</em>, for an online History in Print program at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, February 22, exploring the buildings of Waxahachie and what they reveal about evolving design sensibilities, an evolving economy and generations of social change.</p><p>The <em>Waxahachie Architecture Guidebook</em> includes architectural overviews of several historically significant neighborhoods as well as hundreds of individual entries covering structures ranging from the magnificent Ellis County Courthouse (1897, James Riely Gordon) to modest bungalows, often-overlooked commercial buildings and fascinating industrial sites. Culbertson and her co-author, Ellen Beasley, offer insights into each featured structure’s history, design and context, making the <em>Waxahachie Architecture Guidebook </em>a wonderful companion to the city and a valuable resource for anyone interested in Texas architecture.</p><p>During this virtual program, Culbertson will discuss some of Waxahachie’s notable architecture and the work that went into compiling the architecture guidebook. A Q&amp;A will follow her presentation.</p><h3>Event Format:</h3><p>This program will be presented via Zoom.
