Old University Building: The only building used by SFA, in 1923 when it opened on Washington Square, is the Old Nacogdoches University Building. This building was built in 1859 and is on the National Register of Historic Places and is a Texas Historic Landmark.

Old Grammar School and High School in 1923. This photograph of the Washington Square buildings more clearly shows the new high school building to the right of the old high school buiding, or grammar school, to the left. The tower of the Old University can be seen behind the grammar school on the left.

Members of the 1923 Faculty. The faculty of 1923 were featured in one of the homecoming parades of the 1950s. In the vintage automobile, driving is Coach Robert Shelton. Sitting next to him in the front seat is Mrs. Lois Foster Blount who taught History in 1923. In the back seat, the lady on the left is unknown at the moment, but on the right is Miss Ida Pritchett, who taught music.

Ruby and Morgan Flournoy, 1924:Ruby Petrie met her future husband Morgan at Christmas of 1923 while shopping in downtown Nacogdoches. While he came to SFA because of all the pretty girls, he had already met the love of his life before enrolling. The couple were married in 1924 and taught together for a lifetime.

Otis Floyd's student ID card: Mr. Floyd's older brother was in line before him and got card No. 67. Although promised that these would cost $15, students only paid $12 for their student activity fees; this reduction was probably the last ever seen at SFA!

Faculty Members outside the "Memorial Building": Old Stone Fort was rebuilt in part on the high school campus after being torn down at its original location downtown. It was known as the "Memorial Building" and housed the Home Economics Department and clubs.

The Shack: The Chamber of Commerce built a small 60x40 wooden building on the High School Campus to house the administration of SFA during its first year. The Registrar, the Library, and other departments functioned out of this building for a year. It was torn down and moved to the main campus in 1924 and became the "Ag Shack" and was used for many years as a temporary building.
