The Houston Municipal Airport Terminal is a
beautiful and rare example of classic art deco
airport architecture from the golden age of flight. The Terminal served Houston during the years
when air travelers dressed in their finest and
embarked for exotic destinations aboard roaring
propliners like the Douglas DC-3 and the
Lockheed Constellation.
The Houston Aeronautical Heritage Society is restoring the long-vacant
Houston Municipal Airport Terminal for the City of Houston. As the
restoration is completed in phases, the Houston Aeronautical Heritage
Society is outfitting and operating the Terminal as the 1940 Air Terminal
Museum, an interactive museum showcasing the role and importance of civil
aviation since the dawn of manned flight.
