D. Denton Woman’s Club Building – At the March 2, 2026, Historic Landmark Commission
(HLC) meeting, members of the HLC voted to send a formal informational advisory
statement about the history and significance of the Denton Woman’s Club building to City
Council. The letter was intended as a factual advisory resource for the Council in follow
up to the February 3, 2026, Council work session discussion.
As part of the April 13, 2026, meeting, the Commission held an editorial workshop to
finalize the letter to City Council. Because only four members were present at the meeting,
the Commission voted to continue the editorial workshop at the next HLC meeting.

E. Mayor’s Pet Spotlight – Booker is a 77-pound gray-and-white, 4-year-old neutered Pit Bull
Terrier mix, ready to swap his shelter kennel for a cozy spot on your couch. He’s the perfect
mix of playful and cuddly, loves people, is potty and crate trained, and does great with
kids. Booker can be selective with his dog friends, so he’ll need a meet-and-greet with any
potential canine roommates. Whether you want a walking partner for your outdoor
adventures or a loyal Netflix buddy, Booker is your guy. He’s been waiting since March
for a family that matches his fun-loving spirit. Please contact Denton Animal Services by

Responses to Council Member Requests for Information
A. Indoor Firing Range – During the April 21 City Council meeting, Mayor Hudspeth
requested information regarding outside agencies’ use of the indoor firing range. The range
is used daily by the Denton Police Department, with eight days per year allotted to the
University of North Texas Police Department and 20 days per year to the Drug
Enforcement Administration. Denton PD range officers remain on site for the duration of
each agency’s sessions. Due to high demand, other agencies requesting to use the facility
have been turned away. Staff contact: Tony Salas, Police
B. Leak on Windsor Drive – On April 25, Council Member Beck shared a resident inquiry
regarding yard impacts along E. Windsor and adjacent to Glenwood following recent utility
and sidewalk work. Staff confirmed that the issue was caused by a fire hydrant leak, which
has since been repaired. The remaining impacts to the affected yard areas will be addressed
once site conditions are dry enough to complete restoration without causing additional
damage. Staff contact: Stephen Gay, Water Utilities
C. Concrete Plant Relocation – On April 26, Council Member Byrd inquired about the status
of the Council’s 2022 priority to relocate the concrete plant located in Southeast Denton.
The City previously provided the company with a map of potential alternative sites, but
progress has been limited due to the absence of dedicated funding to support or incentivize
relocation.
The Southeast Denton Area Plan continues to guide efforts in the area, including
right‑of‑way improvements and development of zoning overlays along E. Prairie to support
a more walkable, neighborhood‑scale commercial environment. Any future discussions
with the company will be evaluated within this broader planning context. Staff contact:
Christine Taylor, City Manager’s Office
D. Prairie Pathways Program – On April 27, Mayor Pro Tem Rumohr shared a resident inquiry
about allowing pollinator‑friendly, low‑mow areas at South Lakes Park, similar to those
currently implemented at North Lakes Park. Staff have begun early implementation of the
Prairie Pathways Program, a comprehensive wildflower and pollinator initiative. The areas
currently visible at North Lakes Park and behind Fire Station 8 on Colorado serve as pilot
sites, where staff are testing various methods of site preparation and planting before
expanding the program more broadly. South Lakes Park is among the planned future
locations for this initiative. Staff contact: Allison Wing, Parks and Recreation

HLC draft / INFORMATIONAL ADVISORY STATEMENT
Notes from HLC meeting March 2, 2026 – Dr. Shaun Treat
Historic Landmark Commission work session discussion (HLC26-013) voted
affirmatively and unanimously to “provide an INFORMATIONAL ADVISORY
STATEMENT to City Council about historic preservation issues related to the future
use of the Denton Women’s Club building.”
Commissioners Treat and McAdams agreed to draft the consultation for the HLC

Info and consultation is thus INFORMATIONAL and ADVISORY ONLY.
** Focus should be on factual background, historic context, and an advisory based
upon historic significance for the accurate interpretation of Quakertown Park as is
consistent with past staff feedback sessions with descendants and the 2025 Design
Denton Development Plan already passed by council.
>> Per notes in Friday March 6 Staff Report, the Women’s Clubhouse appears as a
discussion item scheduled for the April 2 City Council closed session work agenda?
HLC draft not back before HLC for review & revisions until April 13 meeting (per
instructions of draft deadline for March 31 given in meeting March 2?) ?
>> Draft format should imitate Staff Report to council & focus on FACTS regarding
the 1928 Women's Club building.

HLC INFORMATIONAL ADVISORY STATEMENT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
1928 Denton Women’s Clubs building Informational Advisory Statement from City of
Denton Historic Landmark Commissioners regarding historic preservation issues
BACKGROUND:
First, some historic context, then followed by a brief review of relevant background
context guiding this informational advisory. Legal has advised that HLC has no mandate
in dictating property use specifically within this advisory statement.
I. HISTORIC CONTEXT OF QUAKERTOWN PARK
Between the 1870s and 1921, Quakertown grew into a thriving African-American
business and residential district on approximately 32 acres of creek-adjacent floodplain
just a few blocks off the Denton County Courthouse Square. Mere months before the
Tulsa Race Massacre in 1921 destroyed a Black community, however, something
similar happened in Denton TX. By 1918, 80 Black families lived in “The Quaker,” which
had its own school, general store, a doctor's office & druggist, 3 restaurants, 2 hotels, a
funeral home, several churches, a Black Masons entertainment hall, and more. That
same year, the Daughters of the Confederacy [UDC] chapter #933 in Denton [est. 1905]
erected a 1918 monument on the courthouse lawn that honors Confederate veterans
even as it became deeply involved in ‘city sanitation’ initiatives. Two years later in 1920,
President Bralley of the growing College of Industrial Arts for Women – situated a block
away from Quakertown's district – promoted the notion that Denton “could rid the
college of the menace of the negro quarters in close proximity… in a business way.”
Plans for such ‘City beautification’ was spearheaded by the Denton City Federation of
Women’s Clubs [DCFWC] – established in 1913, the same year the 1878 Frederick
Douglass School burned down in a ‘mysterious’ Klan-rumored arson – and quickly
gained strength among Denton's white leaders in the Chamber of Commerce and civic
groups who wanted a new city park on that site. It is also noteworthy that early DCFWC
leadership included numerous influential UDC members directing initiatives. In 1921,
the city held a $75,000 bond election to pay for the project and the “park movement”
side won 367-240 by a mere 127 votes. Because of Jim Crow segregation laws,
Quakertown residents were not allowed to vote on their future and had no voice in the
action. City Bond money was then used to buy land (at steeply undervalued rates) of
27
draft - 3
Quakertown's homes and businesses, offering to move them or seize them through
eminent domain. The 80 Black families that once lived there were evicted, many moving
to undeveloped pasture land in Solomon Hill that had no electricity, running water,
sewage, or city service… nor did blacks have access to the city park despite their taxes
also funding the initiatives. Denton’s KKK Klavern #136 – very likely populated by City
leaders and law enforcement officials – actively intimidated and terrorized the
population into compliance and submission both before and after the move.
After the City Park land was razed by 1923, the very first structure built on the property
was the 1928 Women’s Club building as a reward for the group’s central role in their
door-to-door campaign for the City Park bond. The city property was proffered to the
DCFOWC in an odd 99-year lease agreement for $1, which also notably acquiesced to
total control of the building, the property, and its use by the at-that-time-exclusively
Caucasian Women’s Club and new City Parks Committee. The final contract was filed
within mere weeks of the already-constructed building’s completion in 1928.
Ongoing research on the Quaker’s inhabitants of this “township-within-the-town” that
grew out of Denton’s other segregated ‘Freedmen Colony’ districts has continued to
document its incredible historic significance and importance in understanding our city’s
remarkable growth and development.
“Due in part to an intensive house-to-house campaign by the members of the City
Federation of Women’s Clubs, the park issue was set to appear on the April ballot… On
April 5, 1921, the vote was put to the citizens of Denton. When the results were counted, it
ran 367 to 240 in favor of establishment of a park system. … The day after the election an
editorial appeared in the Denton Record-Chronicle calling on the white citizens of Denton to
‘give the negroes the benefit of unselfish assistance in protecting them from profiteering.’”
[2011 QUAKERTOWN narrative: p.7]
II. BACKGROUND CONTEXT OF HISTORIC LANDMARK EFFORTS
Background Context relevant to contemporary City of Denton discussions regarding
the interpretation and functions of historically-designated buildings should certainly
include an awareness of past public input, suggestions, and city actions. Input from
African-American residents and Quakertown descendants certainly needs to be
especially highlighted to rectify recurrent inequities and past injustices. Quite
commendably, both the City of Denton and its caretakers of history have demonstrated
much courage in attempting to preserve and commemorate Quakertown’s legacy. A City
of Denton historic marker was erected in 1991, a State of Texas Historic designation
was crafted in 2010, and Denton County Museums with our city libraries have been
active in preservation and education work at the Courthouse-on-the-Square Museum
and the nearby Denton County Historic Park.

Following is a brief summary overview of pertinent City efforts recently related to both
Quakertown Park and the historic 1928 Women’s Club building:
● Denton’s Civic Center Park was officially renamed as Quakertown Park in 2006
to acknowledge and honor that recovered Black History. In 2024, a Texas Historic
Marker was installed at the Civic Center entrance to the park.
● Dec 05, 2025 informal staff report (# 2026-013; item D. ID 26-0025) summarized a
“prior action review” as follows:
○ 2022 Work Session: Explored commemorating Quakertown residents through
memorial markers, museum concepts, and a healing garden. Council directed staff
to incorporate a permanent memorial into the Downtown Master Plan.
○ Design Downtown Denton Plan (2024): Adopted vision for Quakertown Park
redesign, approved by Council, including ‘historical monuments and
remembrance features.’ No changes proposed to the Woman’s Club Building.
○ 12/05/2025 DISCUSSION: “The Women’s Federation has formally approached
the City to request a renewal of the lease [which expires August 2026]. In
response, City staff are conducting due diligence, including evaluating fair market
value, lease terms, and working collaboratively with the Women’s Federation to
explore a range of renewal options. … At this time, City staff do not intend to
bring forward alternative uses for the building. Instead, City staff will present
lease renewal options for City Council consideration…”
○ OF NOTE: The 1928 Women’s Club Building was not specifically discussed in
any of these prior meetings, nor was it even proffered as a possible topic of
discussion, per recollections of several attendees of those sessions including the
April 2024 Quakertown Park Design Workshop. Most of the citizen focus was on
the City Pool. Thus, the 1928 Women’s Club Building has been so far exempted
from explorations regarding the clear expressed desire of Black Denton residents
and Quakertown progeny in public feedback sessions for “memorial markers,
museum concepts,” and other interpretive historical “remembrance features” to
be incorporated as part the approved “permanent memorial” for the Quakertown
Park redesign as already approved and directed by Council.
○ The Design Downtown Denton Plan, approved by City Council in September
2024, similarly emphasizes as Key Goal #1 to “Recognize the Past,” which
“involves telling full histories and acknowledging injustices… [because]
telling the documented and oral history that we know so far of Quakertown Park
is necessary to set a frame of reference” [p.40-59]. As one notable Quakertown
descendant just recently remarked: “I was robbed of my generation of wealth.
My great-grandparents owned property on Oakland Avenue and Congress,”
Clark said; “All those properties are gone, and I didn't know of that.”
29
draft - 5
○ “While White city leaders promoted the creation of a city park as justification for
the removal of Quaker, the area remained largely vacant for decades. The
Denton Women’s Club, one of the early supporters of a city park, constructed a
building along the east side of Oakland Street in 1928… The destruction of
Quaker has had a lasting impact on its residents and their descendants. It not
only resulted in a loss of homes and businesses, but also disrupted the
establishment of generational wealth and shattered a close-knit community that
had endured decades of segregation and discrimination. Furthermore, this history
and its impact was largely untold for decades. While recognition has begun within
the city and its institutions, additional action is needed.” [Design Downtown
Denton Final Report, PDF pp.40-59]
DISCUSSION:
Informational Advisory suggestions or recommendations that could impact future
interpretation and preservation of Quakertown Park and landmark properties include:
1.) Historical significance and interpretation of Quakertown by the city, county, and
state has been impressive and valuable in recovering this almost-forgotten past,
yet still today this work remains ongoing and incomplete.
2.) Design Downtown Denton was adopted by City Council on September 17,
2024 to update Denton's Comprehensive Plan. In their final report, consultants
working closely with city staff and historians identify “Recognize the Past” as
“Priority #1” for Quakertown Park properties and interpretation. Indeed, this
should be taken as a ‘True North’ principle to guide City and HLC discussions
regarding all its properties, structures, and strategic plans with direct input from
Denton’s African-American communities and Quakertown descendants.
3.) Now that we know better, Commissioner and former-city councilperson Linnie
McAdams has remarked in THLC public discussions, Denton needs to do better.
Major lingering concerns raised regarding the interpretation and adequate
memorialization of Quakertown Park and its properties include crucial issues
regarding adequacy, fairness, and sustainability.
● Adequacy: The whole story of Quakertown’s forced displacement needs
to be told. The true role of the UDC and DCFWC in the forced eviction is a
story not even known by most of its current members nor the public.
● Fairness: Black Denton citizens historically disenfranchised and excluded
from public decisions should play a central role in the interpretation and
memorialization of Quakertown Park; Their views need to be included and
prioritized in deliberations.
30
draft - 6
● Sustainability: Historic Preservation can only succeed if it is sustainable,
thus a focus on undertold historic aspects of sites and struggles could
open opportunities for state and federal economic incentives, grant
funding, and tourism revenues for the city and Women’s Club property,
which HLC committee would enthusiastically encourage and support.
4.) Therefore, discussing expansion of the scope and purpose for the historic
location might offer exciting opportunities for addressing these issues of
adequacy, fairness, and sustainability: One possibility could be for the City to
partner and repurpose the historic 1928 Women’s Club Building into a
memorial site that both interprets this past as a rebranded “Quaker Hall,” while
also creating an inclusive public space within the Downtown District to exhibit
these stories and thereby expand the Women’s Club’s caretaking partnerships as
a rental space with Southeast Denton organizations to co-host events, seminars,
community markets, and destination programs that could generate revenue as a
historic cultural heritage site for the City. Reintegrating the historic functions of
the site as a unifying community hub would be a significantly meaningful action
which also expands sustainable funding sources and opportunities.

Denton Civic Center, providing residents with a key opportunity to contribute to
the park's redesign.
"Quakertown Park is deeply rooted in our community's history, and it's vital that
we come together to ensure its relevance for future generations," said city of
Denton officials on its Facebook page.
The initiative to rejuvenate Quakertown Park is part of the broader Design
Downtown Denton project, aiming to chart the course for downtown Denton's
development over the next two decades. This initiative has seen extensive
community involvement, with stakeholders offering input on various aspects of
downtown revitalization.
The Design Downtown Denton plan, launched in July, addresses critical
elements of downtown development such as open spaces, mobility, housing,
historic preservation and infrastructure. Recent progress has seen the project
transition in The upcoming Quakertown Park Design Workshop on April
17 offers another opportunity for community involvement. Residents will
collaborate with design professionals to ensure their voices shape the park's
redesign.
Residents are encouraged to visit the official city of Denton's social media
channels and discussdenton.com for more information and updates on the
Design Downtown Denton project.to "phase 3: act," signaling a move towards
concrete steps to realize the community's vision.
Community engagement has been a cornerstone of this endeavor, with events like
the Quakertown Park Visioning Workshop and the Design Downtown
Denton Visioning Workshop drawing enthusiastic participation. These gatherings
provided platforms for residents to share their ideas and aspirations for Denton's
future.

QUAKERTOWN PARK MASTER PLAN
As a parallel process to the Design Downtown Denton plan, the master plan for Quakertown Park is a
visionary process to reveal the histories of the park space and create a park for all that facilitates
modern uses and embraces both day-to-day activities as well as larger events.
At 32 acres, the vast greenspace that is Quakertown Park is a distinctive and unique component of
Downtown Denton. Historically a Freedmen’s Town, the people of Quakertown were displaced in the
early 20th century, with all of the African-American-owned businesses, homes, and churches being
relocated or demolished. This area was then converted to an O’Neil Ford-designed city park, with City
Hall, a library, the Civic Center, and city pool being constructed within the park.
Today, Quakertown Park holds these untold layers of history and story within its pastoral landscape.
As a host of various community events, civic spaces, and day-to-day activities, this plan intends to
reveal the park’s histories and envision the next generation of park services for visitors by expanding
park offerings, re-visioning current spaces, and creating a place for users of all backgrounds to have
a connection to this natural space in downtown. Essential to this story is developing a plan for
monuments that tell the story of Quakertown within the park.
Mend Collaborative worked closely with City staff and stakeholders, descendants of Quakertown,
and collected community input on the future vision for the park and the Quakertown monument.

DESIGN DOWNTOWN DENTON
QUAKERTOWN HISTORIC SUMMARY [from report]
What is now known as Quakertown Park was historically home to the freedmen’s town of
Quaker . Established by freed Black people in the 1870s, Quaker quickly became a thriving
community with homes, businesses, churches, and a school . In the face of adversity and
segregation, Quaker grew into a vibrant, self-reliant town within a town, with residents building a
strong community that supported each other through mutual aid and cooperation.
Beginning in the 1870s, groups of families arrived in Denton as part of the wave of freed Black
people relocating to urban areas after the full abolition of slavery in 1865 . Like many freed
Black people in the Reconstruction era, they prized education and its potential to create a better
future for their children . The City’s promise to construct a dedicated free public school for Black
children played a major role in their decision to settle in Denton . Constructed in 1878, the
Denton Colored School, later renamed the Frederick Douglass School, occupied the corner of
Terry and Holt avenues (near the present-day Denton Senior Center) . Although it was a
segregated school that received second- hand supplies from the Whites-only schools in the
district, Frederick Douglass provided important educational access to Black children in Quaker .
Quaker continued to grow throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries . In
addition to the school, Quaker was home to commercial shops and restaurants, lodges for
men’s and women’s social organizations, and several churches . Residents included Dr. E.D.
Moten, the first Black physician in Denton; Henry C . Bell, an early principal of the Frederick
Douglass School; Ford Crawford, who owned a grocery store; Bert Crawford, who owned a
mortuary; Anthony Goodall, who owned a cafe; and Henry Taylor, a gardener and landscaper
whose park-like yard contained rare and notable white lilacs.
In the 1910s, White city leaders began discussing the forced removal of residents
from Quaker . The College of Industrial Arts (present-day Texas Woman’s University) to the
north of Quaker saw their proximity to the Black community as an obstacle to expansion and
initiated the movement for displacement . White business leaders, civic organizations, and City
officials joined in support and began promoting the idea of replacing Quaker with the City’s first
public park, disguising racist motivations behind Progressive-era improvements.
After the Frederick Douglass School mysteriously burned down in 1913, the City built a new
school three years later in the southeast part of Denton, a less than desirable area located over
a mile away from Quaker and well away from the city center . In 1921, the City voted to approve
a bond issue to purchase the land occupied by Quaker and turn it into a park . Quaker residents
were given the option to sell their property outright or have the city move their houses and other
buildings close to the new school in southeast Denton.
The decision to displace Quaker sparked anger and resistance from its residents .
Black leaders protested the forced removal of Quaker, arguing that it was an act of racial
discrimination and a violation of property rights . Quaker resident Will Hill filed a lawsuit against
the city, but eventually dropped the suit out of fear for his family’s safety . Quaker residents were
36
draft - 12
threatened if they tried to resist displacement or tried to move into established White
neighborhoods, and most ultimately had little choice but to leave their Quaker property and
move to southeast Denton or leave the city altogether .
By 1923, approximately sixty Quaker families had been displaced and over seventy buildings,
including homes, churches, and businesses, had been moved or demolished . What had been a
robust town became vacant land.
While White city leaders promoted the creation of a city park as justification for the
removal of Quaker, the area remained largely vacant for decades . The Denton Women’s
Club, one of the early supporters of a city park, constructed a building along the east
side of Oakland Street in 1928, and the City constructed the Emily Fowler Public Library to the
south of the Women’s Club in 1949 .
In the 1960s, the City hired famed Texas architect, O'Neil Ford, to design a master plan for the
park, which would later become Civic Center Park . As part of the park, Ford designed a
swimming pool with a sunbathing bank built into the landscape, the present City Hall with a front
landscaped courtyard, the Civic Center, and an addition to the library . In the late 1970s, the
Denton Senior Center was constructed in the park, designed to mimic Ford's original building
designs .
In 2006, the park was renamed Quakertown Park in recognition of its history . City of Denton
Landmark Markers, Texas Historical Markers, and informational wayside signs have been
installed, a start to documenting the history of Quaker and its residents .
The City of Denton has designated several local landmarks within the park, including a
Quakertown marker, the Denton Women’s Club building, and the O’Neil Ford Civic Complex,
which encompasses the full boundary of the park as well as the Ford-designed buildings within
the park .
The Case for Action
“The destruction of Quaker has had a lasting impact on its residents and their
descendants. It not only resulted in a loss of homes and businesses, but also disrupted
the establishment of generational wealth and shattered a close-knit community that had
endured decades of segregation and discrimination. Furthermore, this history and its
impact was largely untold for decades. While recognition has begun within the city and
its institutions, additional action is needed.”
