The D.R. Glass Library is part of Texas College, a historically black college, and was it designed by McKissack & McKissack, one of the oldest black-founded and owned architecture firms.[2][3] The building was named after the former college president, Dominion Robert Glass (1895–1968).[4][5] It is part of the HBCU Library Alliance.[6]
McKissack & McKissack also designed the President's House at Texas College (1942), another NRHP listed building.[7]
