In 1901, a book entitled INDUSTRIAL DENISON documented the finest homes, commercial buildings, store interiors, and landscapes of Denison, Texas. Just emerging from its past as a frontier railroad boomtown, Denison was on the brink of the largest growth spurt in its history.THE DOWNTOWN COMMUNITY traces the lives of prominent railroaders, merchants, hotel owners, barbers, confectioners, and utility operators shown in INDUSTRIAL DENISON. Some of them became town leaders. But others were lost to memory-until now.As the commercial center of a small town, Main Street brought together people from many different nationalities, classes, and occupations. It was also the place where changes of all kinds were first manifest. The result was a fascinating social milieu.THE DOWNTOWN COMMUNITY is a companion to INDUSTRIAL DENISON, recently reissued. Together, the books enable general readers, local history buffs, and genealogists to explore the texture of life in a small town about to enter the modern era.

Denison was founded in 1872, when the Missouri-Kansas-Texas (MKT) Railroad established a terminus just south of the Red River. The small town quickly grew to hold a prominent place in the 19th-century American West, and it prospered alongside the railroad, becoming the gateway to Texas from the North. Denison has the distinction of being the birthplace of Pres. Dwight Eisenhower, the site of the first free, graded public school in Texas, and home to beautiful Lake Texoma. This book features a diverse collection of postcard images and takes readers on a journey through Denison’s colorful past.

Denison is known as "Katy's Baby," "The Infant Wonder," and "The Gateway City to Texas." Founded in 1872 as the first Lone Star stop on the Missouri, Kansas, and Texas Railroad, the city rapidly grew to 3,000 residents in its first 100 days. Citizens of the new town wanted a quality education for their children, and in 1873 they opened the first free, graded public school in the state. From Denison came many influential people, including Allied Forces supreme commander and U.S. president Dwight David Eisenhower, born here in 1890. The Perrin Air Force Base served as an important military training facility from 1941 until the 1970s. Denison is now home to numerous industries and major providers of medical services, and the Denison Dam across the Red River has formed a major recreation area for local citizens.

This remarkable collection of 140 photographs, originally published in 1901, documents the homes and businesses of leading citizens of Denison, Texas, at the end of the nineteenth century. In these pages, today's readers can glimpse the surprisingly sophisticated world created by their great-grandparents as the frontier passed into history. The North Texas town of Denison was founded by the MK&T Railroad as it built south across Red River in 1872. In three decades, the small cluster of tents and shacks grew into a booming community eager to attract new industries. Denison's Commercial Club asked real estate dealer Frank Milton Robinson to assemble a pictorial book to convince prospective settlers and investors of the town's glowing future. The book INDUSTRIAL DENISON succeeded in doing just that. Soon the volume was out of print, remaining hard to find for over a century. Now Dr. Mavis Anne Bryant has prepared a new edition of the book. She identifies long-forgotten local landmarks and provides an introduction, based on extensive research, that traces Robinson's life. Dr. Bryant has also written three companion books that explore the lives of people whose homes and businesses are depicted in INDUSTRIAL DENISON. The companion books are THE DOWNTOWN COMMUNITY: DENISON, TEXAS, IN 1900; HEALTH AND DEATH: DENISON, TEXAS, IN 1900; and LAND, MONEY, LAW, TYCOONS: DENISON, TEXAS, IN 1900.
