Hi folks! New to the boards, bu I've really enjoyed this thread and others on the Addicks/Blue Light/Bear Creek area. I'm always up for info on mysterious places that aren't there anymore.
In addition to John's excellent photologs and your comments, i thought you might be interested in this thesis i discovered online:
"Bear Creek: A case Study in locating Historic site remains in southeast Texas" - by Andrea Stahman, TA&M, 2004
You can download it and read a bit more about the history of the former towns. There are some wonderful historic photos of some structures, explanations of the building designs (which migth explain some of the remnants found around the mystery domes), and pictures of a few notable residents, some of which were interned in the Hillendahl-Eggling "Blue Light" cemetery.
