THE CRADLE
|

This
building was originally the law library of William Pitt
Ballinger, father of co-founder, Miss Betty Ballinger. Now known
as the Cradle, it is cherished by The Daughters as the place
where Miss Ballinger and her first cousin, Mrs. Hally Bryan
Perry, formulated the idea for their new organization which
would become The Daughters of the Republic of Texas. The Cradle
was restored in 1993-95 to reflect the original furnishings of
the late 1800's.
The Cradle is open by
appointment only. The address and phone number of The Cradle
Committee Chairman may be found in the most recent Annual
Proceedings.
