July 13 Greetings from Houston: Vintage Postcard Views of the
Cit... The city of Houston has changed dramatically over its 174 year history. As
Daniel E. Monsanto notes in his Postcard History Series book on Houston, “No
better medium expresses the city's transformation than the postcard. It acts as a
chronicle and a window through time. One can view the earliest beginnings of the
city, including horse-drawn carts in the streets and grand railway depots, to our
first skyscrapers and suburban development." So much of the history of Houston
is contained in The Heritage Society’s collection of over 120 postcards. The variety
of images include parks, like our very own Sam Houston Park, familiar structures
like the San Jacinto Monument, the Esperson Building and Rice University, and
places long gone like the City Auditorium and the Hotel Brazos.
