  1. Built in January 9, 1916, for developer/owner Charles P. Jones, the architects Jones & Tabor built this small apartment building at Main Street and Truxillo Street in Midtown, Houston. Any historians on HAIF know the exact address?
  2. The Bellevue Apartments located in Downtown Houston at Leeland Street And La Branch Street was built in October 31, 1909. Designed by the ever-so-popular Jones & Tabor Architects of Houston, TX. Miss Mattie Williams was the owner/developer of the multifamily apartments. Any historians on HAIF know an exact address? Edit: This was located at 1516 La Branch Street.
  3. 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.
  4. The architecture firm Jones & Tabor Architects designed the residence of W.A. Burkett that was built in the historic neighborhood Avondale. The building was constructed in January 9, 1910. Awesome looking house! Can't exactly tell what's behind, or on top, of the house. I know there are some historians on HAIF. Does anyone know the exact address?
  5. Designed by Jones & Tabor Architects, the Archer Apartments was built in May 30, 1909 and was located on On Lamar Street and Louisiana Street in Downtown, Houston. Alternatively named The Archer Apartments.
  6. The third Bellaire School was designed by Jones & Tabor Architects and built in 1914. I found a few pictures of the now demolished old school building.
  7. In 1912, the architecture firm Jones & Tabor designed the Wallis State Bank located in Wallis, TX- A suburb of Richmond, TX. Located a few miles down Highway 36.
  8. I never knew this hospital existed. Very cool! Dr. Greenwood's Sanitarium, Houston, Texas. For Nervous and Mental Diseases - Alcohol and Drug Addictions. All buildings new and built especially for the care and treatment of such cases. Buildings steam heated, all modern conveniences, sanitary plumbing, electric lights, hot and gold water in every room, and screened throughout. All outside rooms. Everything first-class. Personal attention given all cases. Situated South Main Street, on OakHill, the coolest part of Houston. JAS. Greenwood, M.D. Supt. - H.C. Maxwell, M.D., Ass't Physician. https://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/entries/greenwood-james-sr Greenwood, James, Sr. (1878–1949) James Greenwood, Sr., neuropsychiatrist, was born in Seguin, Texas, on April 18, 1878, the son of Judge James and Corinna (Henderson) Greenwood. He attended private schools and the John H. Bishop Academy for Young Men in Seguin. In 1901 he received his M.D. from the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. Greenwood was on the staff of the San Antonio State Hospital for Mental Diseases from 1902 to 1906, when he went into private practice in Seguin. In 1908 he returned to UTMB as instructor in pediatrics, clinical medicine, and physical diagnosis. He left Galveston in 1912 to establish the Greenwood Sanitarium for treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases in Houston. From the Houston Public Library Digital Archives: https://cdm17006.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p17006coll10/id/1707/rec/1 Description: Photograph of the front and side yards of the Greenwood Sanitarium that was located at 9218 South Main Street. Date: 1920-1939 Era: 1920; 1930
  9. I took my first stroll through the downtown tunnels today and came across a slice of the Hotel Cotton's facade preserved underneath 811 Main, which used to be in that location. There's a descriptive plaque nearby which reads, in part: It's funny, I was there at the demolition, and didn't put that event together with this location.
  10. Not sure what to make of the vague description but it seems like Midtown will be getting a new bar in about 9 months... http://blogs.houstonpress.com/eating/2011/04/openings_closings_28.php http://swamplot.com/a-midtown-beer-bar-is-born/2011-04-01/
  11. The Parador is one of the last remaining examples of the Mediterranean Byzantine style so popular in the 1920's. Built in 1928. I often wondered what this place was like inside. Its great! You really go back in time to the days of ballroom music and dancing. If ever around Almeda and Binz check this place out. It can accomodate a big crowd. This place has class, in every sense of the word. http://www.paradorhouston.com/history.html http://www.brides.com/upload/images/p/a/paradorhouston@aol.com/00_main/parador_320_primary.jpg
  12. Edit: This was designed by Jones & Tabor Architects a long with Rezin D. Steele. I was in class of 93 there and I suppose I started this thread cause I read some great ones on other schools. It would be cool to find someone who went there at the time around me. Lanier was something else. The building was magnificent and historic; 1929 was when they built it. As a kid I was just overwhelmed by how big the school was. Anyway, what are your memories of the school and who are the standout teachers? The school used to be so segregated in terms of who came there to learn something and who came there to eat lunch and go to gym. The vangaurd program was not all that hard but just involved tons of busy work. I think I did more homework there than in all of high school and college combined. I do recall that they used to burglarize the lockers in the gym dressing rooms quite a bit. The juvenile criminals were so brazen they would do it out in the open with everyone watching. They are probably in adult prisons being sodomized each day these days so oh well. Of the teachers a few stand out in my mind after all of these years: Mr. Siros - I will remember this guy till the day I die. He taught theater arts on the 3rd floor in that room with college style seating and painted all black. Whenever he was losing an argument or the class got loud he would scream "hey" and everyone would shutup. When we were in other classes you could hear this guy screaming from down the hall and you knew he was going insane. Mr. Siegel - 7th grade English lit. He was dating the Spanish teacher Ms. Barazi from across the hall for a while but when she dumped him he decided to become gay overnight. The dude was really creepy and would talk about weird stuff like how rubbing oil on your body to tan is dangerous in the sun. WTF? Mr. Wilson - 8th grade reading This guy was AWESOME! His clothes were always ironed to perfection and he spoke so well meaning he varied sentance structure and used advance vocabulary at a middle school level. His professionalism rubbed off on his students and I am so glad I decided to take his class instead of a foreign language so I could take an extra year of gym in high school. Mrs. Klemm/Ms. Miller - she was the 6th grade math teacher that had all sorts of love life problems. I think she was divorcing her husband while we were in her class. Anyway, she had an obsession with alcohol bottles that squirt to clean the slides on overhead projectors. The immage of dry erase marker watered up is burned in my mind for life. Mr. Yeargin - 8th grade English Lit. ...this guy was way too sophisticated and polsihed to be an 8th grade teacher. I felt pity for the man cause the students never respected him. I suppose having been forced to read Charles Dickens and Bronte bothered the kids and I admit I did not like it at the time as well. I dunno, this guy seemed highly intelligent to me. Mr. Garret - 7th grade science....he was working on his masters to get to become a marine biologist so he did not care much about what we learned or did in class. Rice uinversity had built a science lab in Lanier and we were using email to talk to kids in the UK back in 1992 (a very high tech thing for 13 yrd olds at the time). The emails were just BS....not a hint of educational content...more along the lines of "Hi how are you?" "Fine and you?"......This guy used to give etra credit like crazy and make us hold it until grade cycles were ending. Then you took up the papers he signed and he added your points. He issued so much EC people ended up with 108 points on a 100 point scale. He always made sex jokes as well. Mr. Holliger - WORST teacher in the school. I understand he is still there. He went to UT and played basketball there until his knees went out. God this guy only taught chemistry and physics to the 2 kids in the room that got 100% of what he was saying. He would have these TAs work as slaves for him to write his notes and lessons.
  13. Jan. 23, 2005, 12:42AM Thanks to the Eastwood Civic Association for their leadership in this. More info here. WHAT'S THAT? Copyright 2005 Houston Chronicle Karen Warren / Chronicle The former Rufus Cage Elementary, a mission-style school building in the East End. • Size: 20,000 square feet on 1.1 acres • Location: 1417 Telephone Road • Year built: circa 1910 • Fate: The building was on its way to being sold to the highest bidder, but East End neighborhood activists persuaded the Houston Independent School District to work with them to find a new use for this historic building with the goal of preserving the property. But there's no clear plan yet for the property. • Etc.: The former Cage School was included on Greater Houston Preservation Alliance's Endangered Buildings List in early 2004. The property has been used as a supply warehouse since 1983, when the current Cage Elementary opened. "What's that?" is a weekly glance at a significant real estate project that's shaping Houston's future. Send ideas to nancy.sarnoff@chron.com.
