Seabrook didn't grow steadily — it grew in bursts. The Fay shipyard opened in 1947 with room for 150 boats and pulled the population up from a low near 200, and a second wave followed the 1961 bridge to Kemah and the arrival of the nearby Johnson Space Center, which pushed the city toward 6,000 residents. Each burst installed a batch of garage doors at once, and those are the doors most likely to be running original hardware today.
