It looks like most hospital systems in Houston had separate nurses building. The Memorial Health System was no different. Their nurses building was designed by "star architect" Kenneth Franzheim and was named after Roy And Lillie Cullen. Ironically, Hermann Hospital also has a Cullen Nurses Building. I'm glad the Cullen family donated to both healthcare systems. Here's a rendering from Kenneth Franzheim. I can't find any actual photographs at the moment. I'll keep looking! -

Came across this rare Kenneth Franzheim proposal for the Houston Independent School District Administration/Board of Education building. I wonder where this was supposed to go? This was in the 1950s, or maybe even in the 1960s. Love the drawing of the car!! Reminds me of an animated movie.

I was looking into the works of Kenneth Franzheim and discovered a rendering for San Jacinto Memorial Hospital located in Baytown. Looks like the hospital was built in 1947 by W.S. Bellows. Was the hospital purchased by Houston Methodist and eventually demolished? I'm not that familiar with Baytown.

I discovered a proposed hotel called The Red Wolf Hotel designed by Kenneth Franzheim. One of Rice's architectural pages has this blurb about the hotel: Red Wolf Hotel. 1948, Kenneth Franzheim, architect. A 20-story hotel planned for a site in uptown Houston near the Texas Medical Center. My question is, do we know where this was supposed to go? Where exactly in Uptown? The tower in the background looks like San Felipe Plaza by SOM. Anyone else agree?

Architectural Modernism had so infused Houston by the mid-twentieth century that Kenneth Franzheim even used the style for this proposed A-framed building, ca. 1955, meant to serve as headquarters of the local Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (S.P.C.A.).

The lower levels of the Bank One building will be converted to parking spaces. Link to full article As much as I complain about excess parking downtown, I don't think this is really a bad idea. The floors being converted don't have windows, so leasing would be difficult, and the parking will still be a small part of the overall building. This is a better solution than another full parking garage.
