  • Display Note: Since it’s construction in 1911, the Alamo School has been an important physical and cultural landmark in the residential neighborhood immediately north of Palestine’s central business district. The conversion of the building into the municipal library resulted in the installation of fixed, smoked-glass windows, replacing the original wood-sash double-hung windows. Additions are set back from the original school, thereby minimizing their impact on the property’s historic character. The use of a relatively narrow vertical band of glass between the additions and the old building represents another attempt to preserve the historic character of the old school. The Alamo school was built around 1911, and served its original purpose through the 1980s. In the late 1980s it was converted into the new public library.
