===Texas=== Spanish Colonial Revival architecture in Texas, especially in places like San Antonio, blends Spanish architectural styles with local influences. It features elements like low-pitched tile roofs, stucco walls, and arched entries, reflecting both the region's history and its suitability for the warm climate. This style was popular in the early 20th century and continues to be a distinctive feature of Texas architecture. [[File:McNayArtMuseum.jpg|thumb|right|The McNay Art Museum in San Antonio, Texas]] The [[McNay Art Museum]], founded in 1950, is the first [[modern art]] museum in Texas. The museum was created by Mrs. McNay's original bequest of most of her fortune, her art collection and her 24-room [[Spanish Colonial Revival architecture|Spanish Colonial Revival]]-style mansion that sits on {{convert|23|acre|m2}} that are landscaped with fountains, broad lawns and a Japanese-inspired garden and fishpond. The museum focuses primarily on 19th and 20th century European and American art by such artists as [[Paul Cézanne]], [[Pablo Picasso]], [[Paul Gauguin]], [[Henri Matisse]], [[Georgia O'Keeffe]], [[Diego Rivera]], [[Mary Cassatt]], and [[Edward Hopper]]. The collection today consists of over 14,000 objects of contemporary art and sculpture. The museum also is home to the Tobin Collection of Theater Arts, and a research library with over 30,000 volumes.<ref>[http://travel.nytimes.com/travel/guides/north-america/united-states/texas/san-antonio/attraction-detail.html?vid=1154654608615 Marion Koogler McNay Art Museum], New York Times.</ref>
