  1. Built in 1907, the Wiley Munn residence in Midtown at 2901 Main Street was a sight to see. Almost resembles the mansions in Quality Hill in downtown! Wiley Munn made his fame in the dry goods and department store business.
  2. Carnival staple when King Cake Drive-Thru from New Orleans opens Feb. 10-11 in a Midtown parking lot, 2808 Caroline. King cake enthusiasts Mike Graves and Tiffany Langlinais debuted the concept in the Big Easy last month and have taken the drive-thru to other Southern cities. They hope to bring some of the best renditions of the Mardi Gras dessert from renowned and up-and-coming bakers to people who love king cake. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/food-culture/restaurants-bars/article/king-cake-drive-thru-houston-mardi-gras-18653099.php
  3. Edwin Parker was a partner in a law firm a long with James A. Baker, and Baker Botts in the firm Baker, Botts, Parker, & Garwood Built in January 23, 1910 by architects Sanguinet & Staats. Once built, it became ownership of C.R. Wharton, an employee of the company. The house was located at 803 Hadley Street in Midtown.
  4. 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?
  5. Got in my car after lunch, turned on the radio, and caught this snippet of news . . . " . . . will replace the Greyhound station at Main and Grey." What's up!? I'm going crazy with the anticipation of hearing that this bus station will finally move out of Midtown. Anybody have the scoop on this? crossing my fingers!
  6. There was a thread for this property started by me in either 2016 or 2017. Since the error of a mod banning my account and deleting over five years worth of content from me, everything I contributed to this forum is gone. I was able to retrieve and save some things, but most of it is gone, including the thread for this property (sans one post made September 2019, a few weeks before all of my posts were "accidentally" deleted). I'll try to repost as much of the previous content I can remember (mostly Loopnet listings, archives and articles), but comments from other members and their photos won't be reposted.

  7. When driving through midtown, I've noticed a bunch of development signs dated 2006, including a Fire Department museum and several mixed use developments, and some kind of plaza on Milam as well, I think. The signs say "coming in 2006" and it's currently 2007 so I was wondering... are these guys just late or have the projects been cancelled? It would be nice to see less empty lots in midtown.
  8. The architect George Dickey designed the Jehu Johnson-James Ross mansion located at 710 Hadley Street in 1882. I really like George Dickey's work. This is an awesome house and estate.
  9. Looks like a residential high-rise is (well, more likely was) planned for 3030 Travis St. Sometime between Jan. 2015 and Aug. 2015 the owners removed all leasing information from the strip center that sits on the site. I was going to dump this in the Houston: Potential thread but there appears to be some intent to build here, just may happen later rather than sooner. http://www.estudioarchitecture.com/# Street View: https://www.google.com/maps/place/3030+travis+st+houston+tx/@29.7429346,-95.3773422,3a,75y,323.82h,90t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m4!1s0XnkosqAYDeJkmiJkWPijg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0xc2661e4e68979a77!6m1!1e1
  10. I noticed a new sushi restaurant under construction on Travis (across from Escobar). here is their myspace: http://www.myspace.com/facuz and official webpage: http://www.wecravesushi.com/
  11. https://app.crowdstreet.com/properties/haven-elgin/?preview=true Likely somewhere in Midtown along Elgin St.
  12. Where is the location of the Old Charlotte Allenn school?
  13. Anyone know how Kirby Drive got its name? I found an old story from the 1986 Chronicle about street names, but it doesn't talk about Kirby. Anyone know?
  14. Back in the 60's, my Mom and Grandmother used to take my brother and I to a mexican food restaurant called Berthas. All I remember was the food was good and the restaurant was in a big white house with big columns on the porch. It seems like it was close to downtown. You parked on the street and walked up a long sidewalk to the porch. There was also another mexican restaurant that used to be a house but it was located on Canal, south of downtown. Can't recall the name. Does anyone remember these?
  15. The lot at 2800 San Jacinto has recently been listed for sale. Strangely, the listing makes no mention of Caydon's tower that's gone up across the street--one would think that would be a big draw for this property: https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/2800-San-Jacinto-Houston-TX/6537096/
  16. Couldn't find another topic to put this in. The Sacco Company store (part of the building at San Jacinto & McIlhenny) that recently burned is in the midst of remediation. Crews have been working there daily and all other building tenants have had their leases terminated. It appears the whole building will be remodeled.
  17. I was going to post this last night as well, but didn't want to post another project that was more of a vision. Thanks to largetexas for confirming this is a serious development. http://rogersarchitects.com/mid-main/
  18. Today I noticed a Joseph Finger building in Midtown. Originally built for Barker Bros. Studio in 1931. Photo I took today:
  19. Is the new midtown park fully open? The chain link fence is gone, people are using it, but one of the gates to the dog run is padlocked. (There's two gates but only one is padlocked)
  20. I went to Aperture Coffee (formerly Coffee Groundz) yesterday and a note was on the door saying that they were locked out by their landlord for not paying the rent on their lease. It looks like yet another coffee shop in this location has bitten the dust.
  21. Looks like Midtown is getting some more retail, and even better in an existing building. Even if it is furniture, retail is retail and it sounds like it will be nicely renovated and large when done. Chron Article
  22. I came across a house in Midtown from 1913 and wanted to share. Love how clean the landscape/grass is. Would love to see the whole neighborhood! I wonder who Louise Stude is. Banker? Doctor? Realtor? The pretty home of Mrs. Louise B. Stude, 2310 Fannin Street.
  23. I found this home in Midtown from 1913 and thought I would share. Beautiful home of J.P. Carter. Corner of Main Street and McGowen Avenue. For an exact address, I had help from houstontimeportal. http://www.houstontimeportal.net/joseph-p-carter.html 2602 Main: Residence of Joseph Presley Carter (1872-1946), president of Attoyac River Lumber Company, with tracts along the river bottom lands between Nacogdoches and Shelby Counties in East Texas; also president of the Carter Lumber Company, his legacy from his brother Samuel Fain Carter (1857-1928), president of The Lumbermans National Bank. Samuel at this time was building the 16-story Carter Building at Main and Rusk, Houston’s first true high-rise building.
  24. Does anyone have pics of the first two locations of the first two locations of the St. Thomas and St. Agness school?
