  Star file photo The Hays County Commissioners Court voted on a resolution in support of the preservation of the Dunbar Home Economics Building and the restoration of the Naomi Cephas Wade House during its July 13 meeting. Both buildings are a part of San Marcos Dunbar Historic District, a historically Black area in the city. The Dunbar Home Economics Building is the only surviving property after a fire in 1986 that wiped out nearby buildings. It s also the only present-day African American school building in Hays County. The Naomi Cephas Wade House was facing demolition if not approved for restoration. After the support demonstrated by Hays County citizens, calling the buildings historical and cultural treasures, Hays County Judge Ruben Becerra and the commissioners explained why it was important to stand behind the decision.
