SNYDER SHOWPLACES                

Published by the Scurry County Historical Commission

Edited by Aline Parks

The town of Snyder in West Texas presents this survey of their historic buildings as “a step back in time.”  There are photographs of fifteen houses – the oldest built in 1883 – and a hotel and movie theatres.  Separate chapters tell the stories of these structures and of the people who built them, and in so-doing give a picture of life in the early days of the settlement of West Texas.

A map shows the location of the buildings, and material from the annals of the local newspaper add historical details.  Design and drawings are by Paul Hudgins.
