Cotton Palace Collection

The first exposition of the Texas Cotton Palace was held in November of 1894. The activities lasted a month before a fire in January 1895 left the grounds damaged and the Cotton Palace unable to reopen until 1910. In 1910 exposition was on a triangular lot between Clay Avenue, Dutton Avenue, and South Sixteenth Street. It was open for a two-week-long period each year and included better baby contests, horse and automobile races, as well as canning, baking, and needlework competitions. Twenty years after the reopening of the Texas Cotton Palace, it permanently closed in 1930.
