In 1915, the growing city of Houston celebrated Independence Day by introducing its new municipal flag. Designed by retired railroad employee W.A. Wheeldon, the banner featured "one lone white star, floating in a sea of azure blue and bearing on its surface the original seal of the city of Houston."
A century later, Preservation Houston invites you to a special event where we will donate the restored prototype of the flag to the city of Houston, which plans to put it on permanent display in the historic Julia Ideson library building, 550 McKinney Avenue. The event, which will begin in the auditorium of the Ideson Building shortly after 6 p.m. Monday, March 7, is free and open to the public.
