The growth of Houston back at the turn of last century was unbridled. Opportunity could be found around every corner of the bayou city. During The 1920’s alone there was a building boom that lasted a decade giving local professional photographers plenty of work. Despite a crushing depression crippling the rest of the nation Houston would survive better than most. The photographs featured in this exhibit showcase the best of the best of commercial photography and photographers during the 1920’s & 1930’s.
