Mason Hall and Abbot Hall (note the misspelling on the postcard) were built in 1938 and are essentially 2 sides of the same building. They are connected by the cafeteria in the middle.
From a recent press/promo photo shoot for Mason Bach. Considering that it was rounding on -20C that night, with the wind whipping around us at 20-30mph, he was a real trooper.
Shot beside the Horse Palace (Toronto) with an AB800 in a Westcott Apollo 28-inch softbox. The light was powered by an AB Vagabond II which was sitting in the back of a van in an attempt to keep it warm. Triggered with PocketWizards.

Mason was found and cared for as a stray. After calling six microchip providers, we found out his microchip is untraceable. He is sweet, affectionate and good with other cats, dogs and children. He is in good health, and has a handsome glossy black coat which he spends quite some time grooming. Mason has been with us since April 17th, 2010, enjoying the cat condos in the Memory Lane room and watching the world go by through the window. He seems to have no interest in going back outside, so would be a great cat for an apartment or other small home.

Mason is the seat of Mason County, Texas, United States. The town is an agricultural community on Comanche Creek southwest of Mason Mountain, on the Edwards Plateau and part of the Llano Uplift. The population was 2,114 at the 2010 census.
The first settler is thought to have been Peter S. Parker in 1846. The settlement of Mason grew up around Fort Mason, which was established by the United States War Department as a front-line defense against Kiowa, Lipan Apache, and Comanche, on July 6, 1851. George W. Todd established a Fort Mason post office March 8, 1858, which became consigned to the civilian settlement on June 26, 1858. The protection and commercial possibilities of the fort drew settlers. W. C. Lewis opened a general store that served soldiers and settlers. In 1860, James E. Ranck opened a second store and later became known as "The Father of Mason". Ben F. Gooch and he began leasing 5,000 acres (20 km2) of land to cotton sharecroppers. Mason was voted the county seat in 1861.
After the U.S. Civil War, returning Confederate veterans and German ranchers clashed in 1875 over cattle rustling and other crimes. The resulting killings were known as the "HooDoo Wars". In the midst of the war, Loyal Valley homeowner Tim Williamson was murdered by a dozen masked vigilantes, who accused him of cattle theft. Williamson’s adopted son, Texas Ranger Scott Cooley, sought revenge. Cooley and his desperadoes, which included Johnny Ringo, created a reign of terror over the area. During this episode, Ringo committed his first murder, that of James Cheyney.
The first courthouse and jail were built in 1869 of stone walls lined with post oak timbers. After the Hoo Doo War, a new two-story red sandstone jail was built in 1898 by L.T. Noyes of Houston. Noyes was a contractor with Diebold Safe and Lock Company. A new courthouse was built in 1875, which burned down in 1877 destroying some county records. However, many documents were saved and can be viewed inside the current courthouse vaults. The 1878 courthouse was destroyed in 1900. The current granite courthouse was erected in 1909 by architect E. H. Hosford and Co. in the Classic Revival style.
On October 3, 1918, 18 months after United States Congress declared war on Germany, the Mason County Council of Defense drew up resolution to abandon the use of the German language in the county. The most county residents are of German heritage.
The Broad Street Bridge, a reinforced concrete truss and the only one of its kind in Texas, was built across the Comanche Creek in 1918. The span is 102 ft long and composed of two 51-ft spans supported by concrete abutments with a pier at the center. The bridge was slated for replacement by the Texas Department of Transportation, but funding was cancelled.

I have been collecting mason signs since we moved to Spain- most old churches still have well preserved signs. The 2 gray signs are from the Münster in Bern, the brown ones the cathedral at Tortosa.
My collection also includes mason signs from Switzerland.
Here is the link to my collection:

Aunt Joanna spent some time holding Mason who is sharing a brief moment of displeasure in this photo.
There were four separate burial areas near Silver City, with a few very interesting stones remaining; some quite large and elaborately carved.
