Guadalupe Church, Brownsville. Texas Drawing

The opportunity to work as a Historic Preservation Officer for the City of Brownsville allows me to research, understand and appreciate the architecture of the city where I was born. The New Orleans style was brought to Matamaros, Tamaulipas, Mexico by free African Americans who settled in this border city. From there, the style crossed the Rio Grande and influenced the vast majority of buildings built in Brownsville from the mid-19th century until shortly after the arrival of the railroad in 1904. El Calvario Church was formerly a business called El Globo Segundo, which was built following the so-called Federal style and which in the Rio Grande Valley some authors call Border Brick.
