Description

This beautifully crafted rolltop desk once belonged to Senator Albert Stone (1886-1962), a distinguished political figure and community leader from Brenham. Stone represented Brenham in the 43rd, 44th, 45th, and 46th Legislatures. In the 46th Texas State Legislature, Senator Stone served as Senate President Pro Tempore. The desk is a stunning example of late 19th-century craftsmanship, showcasing the elegant, practical design of the time. With its signature slatted rolltop, this desk was not only a functional workspace but also a symbol of Stone’s professional stature and commitment to public service. Generously donated by Ervin H.
