Huntsville: Past, Present, Future
The Political Science Junior Fellows are working with Huntsville Main Street to celebrate
the community's rich history. We have combed through thousands of photographs
and are working to re-stage and replicate the shots. The result, we hope, is a visual
biography of the city, with a special emphasis on the University Corridor
area.
The University Corridor area is an especially appropriate area to highlight. As the city's most
recent historical survey indicated, it has the highest concentration of historically important
buildings. Four of Huntsville's mayors and three of SHSU's Presidents have lived
in this six-block area.
We are especially thankful for the help of the following individuals:
Scott Bruce (art work)
Laura Burleson (renderings)
Dominic Fazarro (renderings)
Melody Gathright (photography)
James Patton (history lessons)
Linda Pease (logistics)
Dena Shipley

Mac Woodward

Below you'll find examples of the material in the gallery:
