Professional consulting firm Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson, Inc. (JMT) conducted historic resources surveys of Aransas, Calhoun, and Refugio Counties. The THC is pleased to share that the final reports for these three counties are complete and are now available to share. The purpose of this survey is to document existing historic-age (45 year or older) buildings, structures, and significant landscape and infrastructure features. Architectural historians have traveled across the three counties photographing and documenting historic resources from the public right-of-way, recording information such as materials, function, and integrity.
You are invited to download the reports and share any questions or comments that you may have with the project team at ESHPF_survey@thc.texas.gov or contact Justin Kockritz at 512-936-7403.
