A postcard can be many things - a souvenir from your travels, a snapshot of a location in time, or a personal message to a loved one. So much of the history of Houston is contained in The Heritage Society’s collection of over 120 postcards. The variety of images include parks, like The Heritage Society’s very own Sam Houston Park, familiar structures like the San Jacinto Monument, the Esperson Building and Rice University, and places long gone like the City Auditorium and the Hotel Brazos.

Postcards are loaned courtesy of the Heritage Society, Houston, Texas.
