Nic Lehoux The Lone Star State is known for many things—cowboys, BBQ, football—but other than memorable structures like The Alamo, its architecture may not immediately spring to mind. Perhaps it should. Texas' rich architectural tradition, often organized into six distinctive periods: Indian or Precolonial (to 1862), Spanish Colonial-Mexican (1682-1835), Republic-Antebellum (1835-1861), Victorian (1861-1900), early 20th century (1900 – 1941), and Modern (1941 – 1990), reflects the evolution of architectural styles while embodying the state's very history.
