Republic of Texas Plaza (Historic Schoolhouse and Home)
United States / Baytown, Texas
Location ID: #10271095
The Republic of Texas Plaza is a park that features the historic 1894 one-room Wooster School and 1910 Brown-McKay House. The structures exhibit rural life in the rice farming community that existed before the discovery of oil and the subsequent industrialization of the area. The Plaza also includes a post and beam barn that serves as an interpretative venue as well as a meeting facility. The Baytown Historical Preservation Association is also working to restore the 1898 Bert Brown and 1910 John Celestine Sjolander homes, both on site.
