Marker Text: Built by John S. Chase (1925 - 2012), the first licensed African-American architect in the state, this building originally housed the Colored Teachers State Association of Texas. Founded in 1884 the association achieved a number of civil rights victories for African-American students and teachers in segregated Texas society. Built in 1952, the one-story asymmetrical contemporary edifice reflects industrial architectural influences through its flat roof, metal casement windows and concrete masonry. The building served the association until is dissolved in 1966. (2016)
