Hey there,
I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out today because I wanted to ask if you have any information about the apartments located at 701 Pine Street in Ranger, TX. We believe that these apartments could have been the girls dormitory back in the day, but we’re still trying to piece together the history of these structures.
We’re actually in the process of trying to get a historical marker for the area, and it would be incredible to be able to include any relevant information about these buildings. If you happen to know anything at all about their history, we would be extremely grateful to hear about it.
Thanks for your time, and we hope to hear back from you soon.
