Here, veteran Texas historian T. Lindsay Baker and photographer Paul V. Chaplo provide an illustrated tour of this picturesque town, transporting readers straight into its shaded streets and highlighting the many historic buildings.A Guide to the Historic Architecture of Glen Rose, Texas: Bypassed, Forgotten, and Preservedis based heavily on research conducted by Baker and a team of Tarleton State University graduate students during their historic site survey of the town in spring 2010.
