Charles L. Black, an Austin based appellate lawyer, built a
home on Pease Road in 1926. For him, the library was it's focal
point. Peter Mansbendel was retained to carve table, chairs,
fireplace mantle and shelves. The shelf work was done on location
under the superintendence of 7 year old Betty Black now Mrs.
Robert L. Hatchett of Houston. In 1954 the library and it's
furnishings were reestablished in the Episcopal Seminary of
the SW as a memorial to Mr. and Mrs. Black. It is also believed
the ironwork is Weigl.
