Houston Armed Forces Induction Center At 701 San Jacinto St.

Recent stories about Muhammad Ali and his refusal to be drafted here in Houston back in '67 has me wondering where the Armed Forces Induction and Processing Center was. That old barn-like building where I was processed in 1961 was closed in 1966, but I remember it was on San Jacinto somewhere just south of downtown. Does anybody remember the address?

I was inducted into the service in 1961 at a large barn-like building on either Caroline or Austin outside the downtown area. I remember it looked like a recreation center on the inside. It even had a gym. I've read that it closed in 1966. Does anybody know exactly where that old facility was?
