Be it ever so Humble Company Addition remembered in Baytown
Wanda Orton recalls the Company Addition near the Humble refinery in Baytown as a tight knit, nostalgic village from the 1920s to 1963. She and local residents share memories of the Community House, dormitory dining, tennis courts, the nine hole golf course, a small cemetery, and daily life close to the main office, hospital, post office, and docks.
