About this ebook
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.

I appreciate Stephen Fox, Brownsville native, architectural historian, Fellow of Anchorage Foundation of Texas for his continued support of my work. Stephen provided guidance, the list of buildings for the book and answered many a query.
I appreciate Eileen Mattei, the writer of this book and my book on Quinta Mazatlan for believing in me.
Carrie Rood, the graphics designer has been a blessing to me on all my five books to date.
