Winter Dove Season
Stagecoach Inn undergoing renovation
By Tim Fleischer
Editor-in-Chief
Stagecoach Inn restaurant is
expected to re-open in May 2016
after an extensive renovation and
reconstruction project that will
begin in November.
Clark Lyda purchased the
Stagecoach Inn restaurant and
hotel from Terry Potts in July.
Work will begin soon on the
1861 building that opened as the
Shady Villa Hotel. The second
story balcony of the old hotel is
storied to have been the location
of an anti-secession speech by
Sam Houston. According to the
Texana book “Texas Siftings,”
Houston reportedly had an exchange with a fiery secessionist
from the crowd who shouted at
him, “General Sam, we can whip
them Yankees with cornstalks!”
“That may be true, but they
have not agreed to fight with
cornstalks,” Houston retorted.
This is just one of the many
stories that has kept travelers
from around the state enrapt
with the Stagecoach Inn.
That historic charm is part of
what led Lyda to purchase the
property and will continue to
be a focus in the branding of the
Stagecoach Inn as a destination
for travelers.
Dion and Ruth Van Bibber opened the restaurant in
1943 and it quickly became a
renowned bighway restaurant
featured in Life magazine, Ford
Times and on the prestigious
Duncan Hines list. It was named
by Texas Highways Readers as
a Readers Favorite restaurant in
Texas.
The distinctive menu, recited from memory by waitresses
who had worked decades at the
restaurant, included the famous
hush puppies, tomato aspic, banana fritter and, of course, the
Strawberry Kiss.
When the restaurant reopens
in May 2016, you can expect
A rendering of the plans for the renovation and expansion of the Stagecoach Inn, which Clark Lyda
of Austin purchased in July. Work will begin in Novemberon renovating the historic restaurant building, followed by a complete renovation and expansion of the hotel property.
many of those favorites to stay
the same.
But there will be some exciting changes to the restaurant,
which will be under the opera-
tion of La Corsha Hospitality.
The team, according to Lyda,
has “a clear understanding of
the Stagecoach’s history, the
strength of the brand and peo-

Salado United Methodist
Garden Guild Style Show Nov. 7
“Reflections” is the theme for the upcoming Salado United
Methodist Church Garden Guild Style Show, November 7 and not
only will they be reflecting on their appearances, with the viewing
of beautiful clothes, but also reflecting on 20 years of commitment
and service to the beautification and preservation of the historic
chapel at SUMC.
The Garden Guild, which began when the historic chapel was
still located on Thomas Arnold Street, was the brain child of members of SUMC who wanted to honor family members and friends
with statuary and flowers to beautify the chapel grounds. With no
funding available, the small, informal group determined to raise
the necessary funds for the implementation of gardens around the
chapel. Plans are well underway for the 20th annual event to take place
at the church at 650 Royal Street in Salado on November 7. Tickets
are $25.00 and a limited number will be available at the door. Gracious dining beginning at 12:30 p.m. will be the usual highly anticipated salads and desserts served on beautifully decorated tables,
followed by glamorous designs modeled by ladies of the church.
The Style Show will features fashion offerings from Salado
shops, including Christy’s, Elizabeth’s, Susan Marie’s and Magnolia’s of Salado.
Each shop will be showing their own specialties and favorites
along with fashion tips in accessorizing to make shopping more fun.

Historians and architects have been in love with the Robertson Plantation since it was built in the late 1850s by Elijah Sterling Clack
Roberston near the banks of Salado Creek. They have debated when it was started, completed and the architectural influences of
the two-story mansion for decades. The sixth-generation family members have recently renovated the home place. You will have your
chance to fall in love with the place when the doors open in December for a Gala evening and for the Salado Historical Society Tour
of Homes.
Robertson Plantation is fascinating piece
of history of Salado, Texas and the South
By Tim Fleischer
Editor-in-Chief
They know the tinner’s name
who did the standing seam roof.
They know who made the
11,000 shingles for the original
barn came.
The windows, sashes and
shutters came from Houston.
They know that, as well.
They have records of just
about everything.
“The Colonel didn’t throw
away anything,” stated restoration specialist Gregory Free
five years ago when he was leading the research into and restoration of Salado’s Robertson
Plantation, acting on behalf of
the sixth generation of the family
that had such a great influence on
Salado.
But what Free doesn’t yet
know is simple: who designed
the antebellum mansion.
The frontier mansion was
built near the banks of the Salado
Creek less than a decade after the
last known Indian raids in central
Texas.
“We don’t know who the architect was,” Free said about
what is perhaps Salado’s best and
least-known resource.
The Robertson Plantation
was built by Col. Elijah Sterling Clack Robertson in the late
1850s. Construction on the main
house finished in 1860, built of
siding from the Lost Pines area
of Bastrop.
The slave quarters, stable and
kitchen/smokehouse/dining area
were built of the ubiquitous native limestone of the area. “It was
plentiful and cheap because it did
not have to be transported,” Free
said.
Other materials, including the
metal roof, the windows (about
56 of them) and the siding were
transported overland from Houston and other areas.
Free spoke about the challenge of building a home of this
stature in this area which was not
much more than frontier at the
time.
“Colonel Robertson was dedicated to what he envisioned Salado to be,” he said, “and invested
himself in that manner.”
That investment of time, money and labor -- slave labor as
the place was a Plantation -- has
stood near the banks of Salado
Creek since then.
Free said that because the
property has remained for more
than 160 years in one family, it
has been well kept for the most
part.
Its history has been well
chronicled and kept by the descendants.
During the Depression, the
Robertson Plantation was studied
in-depth as part of a works program called the Historic American Buildings Survey. Of the
Page 24
homes in Texas that were part of
that survey conducted from 1936
to 1940, the Robertson Plantation
was the most drawn in detail and
number. Architectural drawings
(some to scale) exist of all the
details of the home and outbuildings. In fact, all of the moldings
are drawn to scale, Free said.
Free said that while the name
of the architect of the Plantation
is not known, the style is more
French Colonial than Palladian.
Pointing to the small rooms on
either side of the front and rear
recessed galleries -- cabinets, as
they were called, Free said that
design is more likely to be found
in the colonial architecture of
West Africa and Louisiana than
in the rest of the south. The Robertson Plantation has eight cabinets, or small rooms, in its symmetrical design.
The small rooms served as an
office, stranger’s rooms, dressing

Jeff Trigger and David Bull
are the principals of La Corsha.
They “have a lifetime of remarkable experience in the hospitality industry from operating the
iconic Mansion on Turtle Creek
in Dallas to the restoration of the
Driskill Hotel in Austin.
Bull graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in
1994. He joined The Mansion
on Turtle Creek in Dallas, Texas and became the youngest-ever
sous chef employed by the hotel.
Moving to Austin, he served as
the executive chef of the Driskill Grill, earning the Austin
American-Statesman’s Number
One Restaurant Award for three
consecutive years. The Driskill
Grill was recognized by USA
Today as one of the country’s
Top 50 Hotel Restaurants. Food
and Wine Magazine honored
Chef Bull as one of “The Best
New Chefs 2003.” Bull has been
nominated three times for the
prestigious James Beard award
for “Best New Chef Southwest.”
La Corsha operates Congress
Austin, a tri-leveled dining and
drinking establishment that includes the popular Second Bar
+ Kitchen, Bar Congress and
Restaurant Congress.
The group is scheduled
to open Boiler 9 Grill at the
Seaholm development in Southwest Austin this year.
Trigger began his career in
the hotel industry at Amfac Resorts in California and Hawaii.
He was the managing director of
The Mansion on Turtle Creek in
Dallas and was recruited in 1999
to restore and reposition The
Driskill Hotel in Austin.
With that success, Trigger

launched La Corsha Hospitality
Group.
Texas Monthly named Congress as the best new restaurant
in 2010, while Esquire Magazine
named it to its Top 10 list of new
restaurants in the country. Bon
Appetite magazine named Second Bar + Kitchen as a Top 10
choice nationwide as well.
Trigger was listed as a General Manager of the Year by Business Traveler Magazine and was
named by Leaders Magazine as
one of the Best Hotel Managers
in the World.
Other developments for La
Corsha include opening a Second
Bar + Kitchen in the Domain, the
development and construction of
an East Austin boutique hotel,
the Hotel Saint George in Marfa,
and the Baker Hotel in Mineral
Wells.
The first phase for the redevelopment program is the complete renovation of the existing
restaurant. This will include
demolishing and re-building the
kitchen and service area. Current
retail space on the west side of
Main Street will be redeveloped
to its earlier use as a conference
center. Old-timers in Salado will
well-remember when the Longhorn Room was on Main Street
and hosted gatherings large and
small.
According to Lyda, the 5,000
square feet on Main Street will
be refocused as a conference
center in close proximity to the
kitchen facility of the restaurant.
“An emphasis on meetings
and special events in the adjacent Longhorn Room will enhance sales and begin to rebuild
demand for lodging,” Lyda stated. “Over the course of a year we
intend to re-establish the brand
and build a solid book of business for the restaurant and meeting facilities.”
The second phase is to completely renovate, expand and reopen the hotel. Plans call for adding 38 rooms and an additional
5,000 sq. ft. in meeting space.
Page 26
The property will have two swimming pools and a mineral spa.
The primary hotel entrance
and reception will be moved to
Main Street. The I-35 frontage
of the property will be heavily
landscaped, according to Lyda
with a buffer against the highway noise.
The central portion of the site
will be landscaped courtyard
and include an outdoor event
and activity spaces, new family
areas around the main pool.
“We will also visually open
the Stagecoach’s connection to
Salado Creek and connect to the
village’s trail system,” Lyda stated.
“Our goal is to re-establish
the Stagecoach Inn as a destination venue in Texas for small
conferences, special events and
weekend tourism travel,” Lyda
said, adding that the group will
capitalize on “the strong brand
of the Stagecoach Inn as an authentic place offering gracious
hospitality.”
The renovation and expansion
of the hotel property is expected
to take two years, Lyda said.
Lyda is a lifelong central Texan. He fondly recalls weekend
visits from Austin to the Stagecoach Inn with his family. A
commercial developer, he was
labeled by the Austin Chronicle
as the “anti-developer developer” because of his inclinations
toward preserving the historical
and cultural integrity of the developments in which he has invested.
During a career that has
spanned more than two decades,
he has chosen unique projects,
including most recently the Perry Mansion in Austin for renovation and redevelopment.
Lyda is the co-owner of Monument Cafe and El Monumento
in Georgetown.
“It’s not going to be Monument or Mexican,” Lyda said. “It
will be definitively Stagecoach
Inn. We are hoping to make Salado proud.”

Just off of the beaten path of Historic
Main Street Salado, is Peddler’s Alley. What
once was an abandoned and seemingly forgotten alleyway has now become home to
Salado Glassworks; a new, vital core within
the community of Salado of energized creativity, modern vision and good old fashioned determination. Run by owner and artist
Gail Allard, Salado Glassworks is one of the
rare working, interactive glassblowing studios currently operating in the state of Texas.
Gail and his team create some of the most
sought after glass art in the nation. With the
creation of each individual piece, not only is
Gail furthering and pushing the boundaries
of his art, he is, in his own subtle way, fueling the fire of an emerging generation of
artistic visionaries in Salado and beyond.
It doesn’t take long after meeting Gail to
see that he accomplishes his most inspired
work when he is pushing the limits of his
craft. The result is a constant flow of new
forms, ideas given color and brought to life
both by fire and a master’s touch. His intrigue with the magic of glassblowing is now
more than 14 years in the making.
In 2001 Gail wandered into Rynoglass
in Temple, simply out of curiosity. “It was
the fire,” he states. “Who isn’t completely
intrigued by fire?” Soon after he began his
apprenticeship under Bob Rynearson and
was forever mesmerized by the passion and
mystique of glassworking, whether fused
or blown. Over the next eight years, Gail
learned the intricacies of the the delicate and
sometimes unforgiving nature of his craft.
He was part of assisting in the creation of
thousands of glass pieces to include art installations that were commissioned throughout the nation and world wide. As he worked,
traveled and created beside Rynearson, Gail
also began to absorb the day in and day out
rhythms of what it took to practically manage a working glass studio.
Gail soon found himself at the Salado
Arts Workshop. While he was pleased to be
in Salado due to its longstanding reputation
of quality artists and the support of a tightly woven community, he realized the studio
wasn’t quite the fit he needed. “I wasn’t able
to shape my client experience in the way I
hoped to. But I couldn’t be more thankful
for my time at the Workshop. It helped me
to realize that with all of my experience at
(Photo by Jessica Mall Flynn)

Rynoglass, not only could I run my own studio, but the timing was right. It wasn’t just
enough any more that I could run a working
glass shop if I wanted to, it became evident
that I should open my own studio”, he recalls.
Backed by experience, initiative and a
small army of support, Gail began work on
his first Peddler’s Alley location in May
2011. By November 11, 2011, Salado Glassworks was officially open for business. “The
goal was simple - keep the lights on. Blow
glass. Maybe drink a little beer here and
there,” he says.
It was this easy-going approach combined
with a willingness to let the public interact
with his art that shaped the vibe he had hoped
to offer as his signature “Glassworks Culture” client experience. Glassworks quickly
became a hub not just for innovative art, or a
unique experience, but a gathering place for
eclectic camaraderie. Gail comments that the
community which emerged is part of what
was and is most energizing about his creative
endeavor; “it’s the people. It’s the ability to
invite them to pull up a seat, share their stoPage 30 Page 30
ries, and be a part of what’s going on here. ”
As Gail made a place for others to share
in the intrigue and culture of his art, word
spread. Quickly. By 2012, the Central Texas community was buzzing about Gail’s
“Blow Your Own” events where anyone
was welcome to participate in creating their
own hand blown glass piece. Along with a
steady stream of intrigued clients in and out
of the studio on BYO event days, Gail also
was approached for a major commission for
Texas A&M Central Texas - a 21 foot high
torch suspended three stories up containing
450+ individually crafted glass components
and custom metal work. It took him and his
team three months to fully complete. Those
two major efforts combined with a growing
demand for custom fine art lighting, custom
sculptural work and one of a kind art glass
vessels set Gail and Salado Glassworks on a
path not just to grow, but to succeed in the
rigorous industry of artistic entrepreneurship.

Christmas Carol on Tablerock stage
Kelly Parker, Tablerock Board of Directors member, will direct Tablerock’s 23rd
annual performances of Charles Dickens’ A
Christmas Carol at the Goodnight Amphitheater on Royal Street in Salado. Dates for
the production are December 4, 5, 11, and 12.
Show begins at 7 p.m.
Kelly and his wife, Anna, live in Salado.
He served as Director for Tablerock’s production of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night this past
spring. He was appointed to the Tablerock
Advisory Board in 2013 and elected to the
Board of Directors in 2014. A Belton High
Schools graduate, Kelly was a Performance
Major at Baylor University where he earned
his MFA in 2006. Kelley is the Theater Director at McLennan County College in Waco.
Professor Parker has performed professionally in numerous productions throughout
Texas and in New York. Kelly has studied
the Meisner acting technique with Larry Silverberg and is a certified teacher through the
True Acting Institute. He has trained in voice
and speech work in New York City and Los
Angeles with Catherine Fitzmaurice, Patsy
Rodenberg, and Phil Thompson. Currently,
He holds the distinction of a candidate for
classic pastries
certification as a Fitzmaurice Voicework®
Teacher. He is a certified UIL OAP critic
judge. This year, Parker has been appointed
as the adjudicator for the UIL OAP 1A State
contest.
A Christmas Carol has a cast and crew of
60, some new-comers to the play and a handful who have been associated with the play
since its inception, 23 years ago. A Christmas Carol was adapted to the stage by Harry
Sweet. Mr. Sweet, director of Carol for 15
years and a retired Ethics Professor at Mary
Hardin Baylor said, “No one can improve on
Dickens’s works,” so the show remains pure
Dickens, to the delight of all who come back
year after year to enjoy the production. Mr.
Kelly Parker agrees with Mr. Sweet’s theory
about Dicken’s and plans to “Keep the play
true to Dickens.”
Performance will begin at 7 p.m. each
evening at Tablerock’s Goodnight Amphitheater located on Royal Street in Salado,
TX. Tickets are available at the gate: $10 for
adults, $5 for students and $3 for children

Gala evening at Robertson
Plantation on Dec. 3 benefits
local historical preservation
The Ambrose and Cowan families, sixth generation owners of the
Robertson Plantation and descendents of E.S.C. Robertson, are hosting a gala to benefit historic preservation in Salado on 7-10 p.m. Dec.
3. The Gala will benefit three Salado non-profit organizations: the
Central Texas Area Museum, the Robertson Colony-Salado College
Foundation, and the Salado Historical Society.
Tickets to the Robertson Plantation Gala are $100 each and will
include a home tour, hors d’oeuvres catered by The Range at the Barton House, and live music by Drs. Matt Rogers, Guy Okeson and Pam
Bland. The host families are opening the entire Robertson home for
the Gala event, including the private residence upstairs. Although
the Robertson home is on the Salado Christmas Stroll home tour on
December 3-4, only the downstairs rooms will be open for viewing
at that time.
Colonel Elijah Sterling Clack (E.S.C.) Robertson was a Texas pioneer, patriot, soldier and jurist and was one of the founders of Salado College. E.S.C. and his wife Mary Elizabeth Robertson began
building their Greek Revival style plantation home in 1856 and completed it in 1860. In addition to the 22-room mansion, there are slave
quarters and a family cemetery on the plantation grounds.
Tickets may be purchased by check mailed to P.O. Box 36 in Salado, TX 76571. For credit card charges or other information, please
call 254-947-5232.

Glass art (and flame) in Peddler’s Alley
Story continues from Page 30
By 2014, it was clear that
Glassworks needed more space
than the original shop offered.
Next door to his studio was an
abandoned building, just waiting
to be brought back to life. Gail
expanded into his now 5,000+
square feet of gallery and working studio space by the fall of
2014. Keeping the familiarity
and accessibility of the Glassworks intact while expanding
was key and was reflected even
down to the way each element of
the historic building was repurposed and revitalized. “I wanted
(and want) to grow, just not too
slow and not too fast. I don’t ever
want to lose the local feel that
we’ve been so careful to create”,
Gail says.
When asked about how he
sees not just Glassworks, but
Salado as a whole succeeding heading in the future, Gail
shares his belief that an essential

component to the progression
of an individual business and/
or community lies within an
openness and commitment of
that entity to embrace and offer
unique experiences. “People get
excited about seeing something
alive. I believe we all need a lit-
,,,
tle more of that”, he observes, “I
hope to see that trend continue,
especially here in Salado. The
location is ideal to pull so many
people in. Why not attract them
by positive, one of a kind experiences from people who have
a unique blend of skill sets that
they simply won’t be able to
find or meet anywhere else?”
To stay up with the buzz of
what’s happening around Salado
Glassworks, feel free to stop by

later, with the advent of indoor plumbing,

The family completed a major restoration
of the mansion this year. The historical
architects were Jim Thompson and Justin
Lowe of Centric Architecture of Nashville.
Tim Brown of Salado led the entire restoration and all areas where renovated. Installed HVAC, first time ever for the house,
new baths in each bedroom in residence area,
new roof and insulation. The entire house
has been updated with new wiring, AV, internet but no structure changes were made.
The symmetrical design of the main
house is Greek Revival in essence. The small
rooms on each side are reminiscent of Palladio’s out buildings on either side of the main
house as are the three triangular cornices of
the roofline. These were hints at the architecture of the Robertson Plantation that the
late Lucile Robertson shared with me some
27 years ago when she first gave me a tour of
the grand place.
Regardless of the architectural influence,
the Robertson Plantation is certainly Salado’s Grand Dame.

Some of the hottest competition is not found on
the field or court or even in the classroom, but at
the auction block in Salado, especially when a Bill
Smith original hand-made knife comes up for sale.
“It is such a labor intensive process because I
choose to make them the old way by not using modern tools,” Smith said of the process.
For the past 13 years Bill has drawn plans, cut
out, and built two or three one-of-a-kind custom
knives for the Salado Education Foundation auctions, which have raised tens of thousands of dollars
for local scholarships.
Salado Education Foundation hosts its 16th
annual Cattlemen’s Ball on October 17 at Tenroc

arrive and sign-in at 6:30 p.m. A steak dinner grilled
