To introduce the winners, the awards will be presented with a free open-house reception to the public. The reception will begin at 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., refreshments will be provided.

The Texas Society of Architects is a state component of the American Institute of Architects. Founded in 1939, TSA is one of the nation’s largest organizations for the architectural profession, with 17 regional chapters and more than 6,500 members. The TSA provided the following statement for this event:

The Texas Society of Architects’ mission statement is to be “the voice for Texas architecture, supporting the creation of safe, beautiful, sustainable environments.”  As such, we are advocates for architecture.  We promote good design and the benefits that good design can bring to our communities.

Texas’ courthouses are a cherished part of our state’s history, and Eugene Heiner was instrumental in the creation of many of these beautiful buildings. What better way to celebrate the impact that architecture can bring to our communities than to gather in Hallettsville beneath a beautiful Texas courthouse and honor the work of a great Texas architect.

Additional support for the event comes from Dr. Betty Edwards, owner of the Kahn & Stanzel Building; the City of Hallettsville; and Friends of Hallettsville Downtown Revitalization. Committee persons for the event include Gayle Bludau, Linda Cejka, Mieko Mahi, and Alice Vickers. Bookmark www.halletoakgallery.com for calendar-of-events or call 361-217-7030.
