Designed by Alfred C. Finn in 1945, the Naval Hospital was located on a 118-acre site donated by the George H. Hermann Estate. In 1946, the hospital transferred into the United States Veterans Administration Hospital. Edit: This would have been at Marlborough Drive and Almeda Road. Marlborough Drive was renamed to Holcombe Boulevard a decade later. The Naval hospital sits exactly where the current Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center is located. The address to the current VA hospital is 2002 Holcombe Blvd if you want to use it as a reference, or mapping point. I researched, for weeks, the address on Marlborough Drive. I could never find it. Should we just use the current VA hospital address? 2002 Marlborough Drive? If I recall correctly, there was a Baylor College of Medicine team working at the Naval hospital as well. Maybe even MD Anderson and Hermann Hospital as well? Found a rare photo of the Naval Hospital building signage. You don't see this everyday.

Today I discovered a whole new building! Hidden away behind the Cullen Building, is the Jesse H. Jones Building. I believe within the building there is a space called Anderson Hall. Presumably named after Monroe Dunaway Anderson. All the old oil wildcatters definitely donated a lot to our Texas Medical Center. Lots of buildings are named after The Cullens, The Fondrens, The Alkeks, The Jones', etc. One strange thing I noticed is John H. Kirby didn't donate much to the TMC. I don't think there are buildings named after him. The Kirby family must not have been into philanthropy. His career was lumber and eventually petroleum, so maybe not a wildcatter like the rest of them. Edit: Here's the photo I took today:

Forgot about the Baylor College of Medicine The Vivian and Bob Smith Medical Research Building. Very cool green space and fountain! Love how it creates a peaceful place that's sandwiched on all sides with buildings. The building was undergoing a fresh paint job and power washing. Good for them for taking care of the place. Photos I took today:

It looks like Baylor College of Medicine has two buildings named after Albert & Margaret Alkek. This tower is located at 6450 East Cullen Street and appears relatively new. Built in the past 20 years? The design is really good and stands out among the rest. I would even like this tower to be somewhere more prominent so more people could see it. If this was a long the "Fannin Strip". Here''s a photo of the building I took today:

Baylor College of Medicine's first hospital in Houston was located inside of the Sears warehouse located on Lincoln and Buffalo Drive, now known as Montrose Boulevard and Allen Parkway. Found a good photo that actually shows BCM's inscription on the front of the 1943 building! Very, very cool. I do wonder the architect? Reminds me of Joseph Finger or Alfred C. Finn. In 1943, the business was called Baylor University College of Medicine.

The historic CHI St. Luke's/Baylor St. Luke's Hospital Tower has been around for decades. The building is located at 6720 Berter Avenue. The views from this building are great. A family member was treated for cancer here. Here's a picture of the building I took today.

Designed by FKP Architects, the Texas Children's Hospital West Tower started off, originally, as a single story (2 story?) building. The tower portion expansion happened in the 1990s, or early 2000s I believe. Here's a picture I took today.

Very cool building here. The US Government funded the construction of the Baylor College of Medicine/Texas Children's Hospital Nutritional Research Center located at 1100 Bates Avenue. Designed by 3D International and Bernard Johnson. Here's a picture of the building I took today.

I never knew about this! I have never seen any press or articles about it. This is a dedicated building for the museum? I would have thought this would be located within a hospital wing. A small museum dedicated to BCM's first President and world-renowned surgeon. Actually very impressive they would build a building to be used as a museum right in the heart of the medical campus. I would think a hospital is more important than a museum dedicated to one person. After reading an architect's blurb, the building is an extension of their Cullen? building: http://designbyjara.com/DeBakey.Panel.html The extension of the existing Baylor College of Medicine building is expressed by concrete prefabricated facade with random openings on the upper floors and stainless steel clad facade for the Michael E. DeBakey Library and Museum on the ground floor, in honor of Dr. Debakey. The museum exhibition has permanent and rotating exhibits documents his inventions, part of the concept is a “Green room” (replica of the conference room of Dr. DeBakey) separated from exhibits by glass wall. The stainless steel clad facade floats above the future reflecting pool, defined by a stone bed. I'll see if I can get some pictures later this week. Photos forthcoming! (alternativity, we can just go to Google to look at the building)

I pass by this small business park a lot but never stop by. I stopped by today, and the PMRG For Lease Sign has been there for a decade. Shouldn't Madison Marquette replace the sign? Out of all the light-industrial/lab space around Kirby and West Bellfort, this one is doing badly. I see lots of vacancy.

This is the shopping center with Memorial Hermann and CHI St. Lukes at the intersection of Braeswood & Kirby. I had dinner here at Morningstar Thai. Great food and prices, but no alcohol.

These buildings were once the highlight of Upper Kirby. I still love them and think they're a great addition. https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/3701-3801-Kirby-2401-Portsmouth-Houston-TX/23544395/

Anyone remember details about this? I was trying to see if there were any concept renderings. This was going to be located to where the (now) the UT Research Park Complex is. All the TMC players were involved. This was the original TMC3 if you will. This project was proposed in 2001. I'll post a few articles for reference.

Old Braeswood POA sent out a notice for a meeting regarding construction of the new DeBakey High School in the medical center. Per the notice it will be built "on the site of the Hornberger Conference Center." I guess this means the last piece of the Shamrock is coming down? Construction is to begin later this year I looked around for some renderings and could only find something on the HISD blog: http://blogs.houstonisd.org/news/2014/06/03/video-highlights-how-design-is-shaping-up-for-new-debakey-high-school/

Didn't see this posted anywhere else. http://www.bizjourna...m-ben-taub.html "The Harris County Hospital District is finally renovating the original Ben Taub General Hospital, a $38 million plan that’s been on the drawing board for nearly 20 years. The 50-year-old hospital has been sitting vacant since 1992, when the existing Ben Taub General Hospital opened its doors. “The plan at the time was to renovate the original hospital then and have two hospitals up and running, but the hospital district ran into some financial difficulties in the late 1990s, and we had to put it off,” said George Masi, executive vice president and COO of the Harris County Hospital District." I couldn't access anymore of the story as I don't have a subscription.
