Since its founding in 1977, Historic Tyler has been a leading advocate in successful efforts to save threatened historic structures, such as the Carnegie Library, McClendon House, and Tyler’s brick streets. Historic Tyler, using revolving fund monies, saved the 1881 Smith County Jail from demolition in 1986.
Remember, the ability to deliver our precious historic past for generations is in your hands now. Your donations and support of Historic Tyler, Inc. are greatly appreciated. With your help we can lay a cornerstone for tomorrow.

Galloway Calhoun, Horace Chilton and the 1904 Carnegie Library were honored with Half Mile of History stones in downtown Tyler at a dedication ceremony on Thursday, February 25, at 10:30 am at the Gallery Main Street, 110 W. Erwin Street. The First Church of Christ, Scientist at 106 East Second Street was damaged by a fire on January 17th. The Church is a Classical Revival building that was built circa 1948. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing property in the Azalea Historic District. It appears that it will be a total loss.
