Humble Mess Hall

The Humble Oil Recycling Plant, part of the Katy Gas Field west of town, began operating in 1943. During World War II, all of the aviation fuel used for the Allied forces was extracted from this field. Plant workers lived at the plant, and this building served as the place where they gathered for meals. When plant production was reduced, the building was moved into town and used by St. Paul's Episcopal Church for over 40 years. The church later donated it to the Katy Heritage Society, and it was moved to Katy Heritage Park in 2005.
