Date: unknown
Creator: unknown
Description: A July 1906 plat of "Pasadena Heights, the Home Builders Addition to Mineral Wells, Texas." Developers of the addition were D. M. Howard, (Co-owner of Mineral Wells' first big department store, Howard Brothers), B. R. Strong, and Frank Richards (manager of the Star Well and owner of an early mineral water crystal plant). Street names were changed in 1912. This area came to be facetiously called "Jackass Flats" by locals. The Brazos Mall is currently located at the bottom of the plat, Wal-Mart to the east of the plat, and Elmwood Cemetery is at the southwest edge of the plat.
