Voertman's TWU location

Description

Photograph by Alec Williams of Voertman's College Store on Oakland Street taken around 1977-78.

Other photos were taken in 2023 by Leslie Couture of the Special Collections Department for the Denton Public Library.

This building was designed by local architects Tom Polk Miller and Isabel Mount Miller for Paul Voertman.

In a 2023 conversation with Crispin Miller, son of the Mount-Millers, he said he could see his mother's work in the wrought-iron curlicues, "which are a representation of Ionian curlicue columns. The cinderblocks acting as light diffusers over the windows would have also been her idea, he said."
