by Pino Shah, Eileen Mattei, Carrie Rood (Designed by)

Overview

Brownsville Architecture: A Visual History reveals the heritage and history of Texas's southernmost city as told by its buildings. Outstanding architectural images by Pino Shah show the influence of diverse cultures and regional styles that have shaped the border city's built environment since 1841. Eileen Mattei weaves architectural details and Brownsville history into a narrative that illustrates how buildings mirror the people, the place and the times. Here is a new perspective for looking at more than 100 architecturally significant buildings that are often also historically and culturally important.
