In the middle of the display is the large "CH" with the date "1910". For the longest time I could not figure out what that meant. Now I now it means: "CH" = Court House and it was built in 1910. Now, what that has to do with the Texas Sesquicentennial, I have no idea. Maybe they just wanted a brag of their own in the display. It is in the center of the Star of Texas.
