TxDOT BROOKS COUNTY SAFETY REST AREA

Location: Brooks County, Texas

Owner: Texas Department of Transportation

A cluster of humble toilet buildings anchor a grassy quadrangle at a highway rest area. Considered to be the gateway to the Lower Rio Grande Valley, the rest area grows out of the earth, and echoes the region's historical references in scale, form and texture.
