Aerial view of the business district, Houston, Texas, USA, 1950.
Aerial view of the business district, Houston, Texas, USA, 1950. Vintage postcard, describing Houston as one of the nation's fastest growing cities. The 1950s saw the city grow rapidly as its economy, previously based on its port, began to switch over to the energy sector. The availability of domestic air conditioning provided an impetus for companies to relocate to Houston where they would previously have been deterred by its hot, humid climate.
