SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 181
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
join the Texas Historical Commission in recognizing Page
Southerland Page, which has been named a recipient of the Texas
Treasure Business Award; and
WHEREAS, This prestigious award honors companies that have
been in continuous and substantially similar independent
operation in the state for at least 50 years with an
uninterrupted employment history and good standing with the
state; and
WHEREAS, Page Southerland Page traces its roots to 1886,
when Charles Henry Page moved with his family to Texas to work as
a stonemason on the State Capitol; his son established an
architectural practice in 1898, which quickly became one of the
preeminent firms in the state; and
WHEREAS, The company grew from its early emphasis on public
works projects and developed into one of the nation's first
integrated architectural and engineering design firms; today, it
employs more than 500 design professionals around the world, and
it has been ranked as the nation's 12th-largest architectural and
engineering design firm; and
WHEREAS, The success of Page Southerland Page has played an
important role in the growth and progress of our state, and it is
truly fitting that this exceptional enterprise be recognized for
its resilience, its longevity, and its many outstanding
contributions to the community it serves; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
83rd Legislature, hereby commend Page Southerland Page on
receiving the Texas Treasure Business Award and extend best
wishes for continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
the company as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
