While I was talking with the Arcosa/Cherry Demolition guys at the Fairfield Waugh they mentioned they have a job coming up in downtown at Texas Ave. & Congress St. I'm thinking to myself that those two streets don't intersect and are parallel streets but didn't say anything. Today I saw which building they were talking about. The Gulfstream Legal Group building at 1300 Texas Ave. It is fenced off. Assuming they will go here when finished at the Fairfield Waugh building. Curious what might be built here? I'm guessing it could temporarily be for the lay down yard/construction trailers for the contractor who will be building the new hotel across the street. https://gulfstreamlegal.com

I doubt they were high-end apartments, especially in late 1980s-era downtown (probably only used for exterior shots, while the interior set was somewhere else). The high-end apartment towers (not built downtown) kept their value, but the hotels that permanently closed in this era weren't able to be converted to high-end housing and either became retirement homes or were torn down entirely.

In the 40th Annual State of Downtown Address Kris Larson spent most of his time reflecting on the accomplishments of Bob Eury. He does mention the monthly downtown Farmer's Market as a key accomplishment over the last year, and he seems to be focused on streamlining all the various downtown organizations. He introduced new branding: Downtown Houston+ which I assume encompasses all the various organizations that support downtown initiatives. Not sure if the video was truncated. I don't recall hearing anything about the Astros proposed entertainment complex.

Lots and lots of cars have hit the train, but in the Summer there were two strangely close together incidents of buses hitting the train. One happened smack dab in front of the Metro administration building.

I'm surprised no one has posted this yet... http://realtynewsreport.com/2014/11/18/stream-partnership-buys-600-jefferson-tower-in-downtown-houston/ It would be a complete shame if they turned it into a glass box. The exterior could use some TLC, but why not just use that money for the interior/lobby?

This is the first Travis Elementary School- simply called Travis School, or Travis School House. It was located on McKinney Street in downtown. Looks like Travis Elementary School was built 3 times? 1900s, 1910s, and the most recent built in?

I've been trying to find a photo, or at least a depiction, of the Camp Building located at 214 Fannin Street for a while now. Does any of the HAIF historians have any more details about the building? Who was the building name after, the Camps? I don't know that family. This would have been in the 1900s, possibly 1907? There was a very cool company located inside the office building. The business was named Scanlan & Bartell. The company was a Moving & Storage business, but I think Scanlan & Bartelll was also a real estate company. One-stop-shop I assume. Any additional details about the Camp Building would be appreciated!

Built in 1908 for Gustave Antoine Mistrot and Wiley Cooper Munn. The company sold dry goods. Think of it as a very early department store. This was Wiley Munn's first business. He then went into business himself and called it W.C. Munn Company Department Store.

Have a request from the HAIF historians. John H. Kirby developed the Cawthon Flat located at 912 Walker Street in downtown. Cawthon Flat burned down in 1912 so I would assume Cawthon Flat was built around that time. Someone else rebuilt and marketed the building as a hotel. The hotel was called The Cawthon Hotel and was owned by Mrs. L. Jeannette Perkins. John Kirby's Cawthon Flat was said to be 2 stories and a total of 35 rooms. Would anyone have photos, or a depiction, of the building? How about the architect? Greatly appreciated!

Taylor School was rebuilt and designed by Jones & Tabor Architects. Totally different than the original school. This would have been built in November 14, 1915. I'm thinking the original Taylor School was built in the late 1890s.

Hi All, I'm new to the forum and was just looking for insight on Franklin Lofts. I've been through one of their open-house events and was pretty impressed overall. The building is beautiful and has a lot of pros in my mind. I'm considering trying to buy there but just wanted some feedback before I start making any serious decisions. This is what I've come up with so far: Edit: The building was originally the First National Bank at 201 Main Street. Pros: 1.) Location 2.) (Relatively) Low HOA fees 3.) Historic tax exemption 4.) Spacious floorplans/hardwood floors 5.) Parking, etc. Cons: 1.) Good Value?? 2.) Cheap looking cabinets, kitchen area I keep finding myself going back and forth so any opionions or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Does anyone remember the bar that used to be in the Sawyer Building at 506 Main St.? It was called the Golden Stein in the 80's and I used to be the daytime bartender there. Edit: The building was originally constructed for Barringer-Norton Company in the late 1880s. In 1928, James Ruskin Bailey did a facade renovation.
