editor Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I don't know if this is new, or just new to me, but maybe other people didn't know this, either -- the archives of Port of Houston magazine going back to 1923 are online. I was searching for something entirely unrelated to Houston and came across this link: http://www.portarchive.com/1981/02-February%20Page%2023%20to%2048.pdf It's a PDF of Port of Houston magazine from February, 1981. You can access the entire magazine collection here: http://portarchive.com/ This looks like it would be a good tool for all of the Houston history researchers on HAIF. Check out this ad from June, 1924: The text at the bottom reads, "The Above Photographs Illustrate Some of the Attractive Appointments of the New Home of the Second National. This Bank is Located in its Own Building, at the Corner of Main St. and Rusk Ave., and is One of the Most Elegant and Completely Equipped Banking Rooms in the South."

sevfiv Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Very cool - glad they have made them available (though I do not approve of the digital quality! Maybe it was a file size/hosting issue..). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
