  1. Fantastic views of the city and in the perfect location to everything. Not to mention a wonderful staff! This I like. http://www.themuseumtower.com/home.html http://www.rent.com/media/property/1160/1160535.gif
  2. Noticed this on Loopnet. Lots of space at the intersection of Haddon St. and Commonwealth St. This is the Sparks Tynes Building located at 1505 Haddon Street. Loopnet listing: https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/1505-Haddon-St-Houston-TX/25817793/
  3. This in this morning's Commerical Real Estate section of the Chronicle "The Westheimer Montrose Center, a 13,350 sq ft center with retail and residential space has been sold......the property at 1417 Westheimer was constructed in the 1920s and has been renovated several times" Anyone know exactly where this is? I googled 1417 Westheimer and it came up with Liquid, the store at the curve, but that's hardly a 1920s building...
  4. Okay so the property on Graustark at 59 seems to be the Pauline Sterne Wolff Memorial Home for Widows and Orphans. A google search says the home was the first Jewish orphanage in Texas and her fund still seems to be around according to this post from 2015 http://jhvonline.com/jfs-senior-adult-service-wing-to-carry-benefactors-name-p19236-109.htm "Pauline Sterne Wolff’s name is known through the many programs and facilities made possible by the foundation, a legacy that has profoundly impacted the city of Houston. Pauline Sterne Wolff died in 1921. The Wolff Memorial Foundation began with a $600,000-plus estate; $100,000 of the estate was used to buy land and build the Pauline Sterne Wolff Memorial Home in 1930. For decades, the home provided a safe and nurturing place for Jewish orphans to grow and flourish."
  5. Apparently Scarlett Capitol now owns the Walgreens property. https://www.scarletcapital.com/land/montrose-covered-land
  6. Spec's is coming to Montrose!! Montrose and Westheimer next to Half Price Books in the shopping center on the corner to be exact. The space has stood empty for a while. Recently I walked past the unoccupied location and noticed a wall of coolers had been installed, my first thought was grocery store, but today on my way home, a sign company had plastered a paper layout on the wall so that they could install the electrical part of a new sign, I drove by slowly and barely made out the name of the infamous Rabbit's home!! Spec's Liquor Warehouse. Let's get our drinks on Montrose!
  7. Not sure if this is considered Midtown or Montrose but something is being built at the old Fuzzy's that burnt down a while back. Heavy metal beams 3 stories high. Anyone know?
  8. Worthy of a new thread.... Construction set to begin on high-rise by summer 13-story condo to be built on site of former River Caf
  9. Did they close this location due to the construction on S. Shepherd or will it be converted into something else? It's fenced off with construction fencing.
  10. “French Cowboy” Philippe Schmidt has a new restaurant in the works in Montrose Philippe Schmidt, the chef behind a number of French restaurants in Houston including now-shuttered Philippe Restaurant + Lounge, Toulouse in River Oaks, and Bistro Moderne at the Hotel Derek, has a new project in the works. Documents filed with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission indicate that the spot, called Cafe Philippe, will be located at 1830 West Alabama Street. That’s the former location of Italian restaurant Divino, which closed July 31 after 20 years in business. In an email, Schmidt declined to elaborate on the new spot. No word yet on an opening timeline, but stay tuned to Eater for more details. https://houston.eater.com/2021/8/31/22650272/guy-fieri-houston-restaurants-diners-driveins-dives-cafe-philippe-montrose-portovino-expansion
  11. Dignity House got a new paint job. http://www.dignityhouston.org
  12. I'm confused. There was more than one hospital in Montrose? I only knew of the Hedgecroft Hospital & Clinic located at 5010 Montrose Blvd. What's the deal with this place? Does anyone have any family medical history from this hospital? From The 1947 American Hospital Association's American Hospital Directory: Montrose Hospital Clinic - 4410 Montrose Blvd. Established - 1946 Annie Mae Wait R.N., Supt. Zone 6 Tel Li-3911 A decade later it seemed to change ownership/management. From the publication called Hospitals dated 1954-06: Vol 28 Iss 6.

  13. "Houston's 1st DOG BAR! The Dog Bar is a Dog centric Bar where Dog's are welcome to bring their Humans. Your best friend can lap on a Pup-Tail (a Dog friendly Mocktail) or a Doggy Beer! and yes we have cold drinks for humans too. Order your Drinks inside or out and come inside to shop for Doggy convince products (Treats, Snacks, Hygiene and Fashion items) It's always a PAWTY! at The Dog Bar."
  14. Found this in the publication Diseases of the Nervous System Volume 1 dated 1940. A little weird. I thought the Keightley Hospital was in Almeda On Anderson Road? I'm thinking it this was a second, more smaller location? I know Vivian Keightley started the company in Almeda, TX. Also, wasn't 1319 Richmond the original location of the Kinkaid School? I see the advertisement mentions new building under construction. I wonder if this was when Kinkaid moved out and sold their land? Okay, looking on HAIF I see the Kinkaid school was built in the 1920s, and was removed from directories in the 1940s. Keightley Hospital 1319 Richmond, Houston, Texas Jackson 21539 (New bldg. under construction) Member, Texas State Hospital Assn. Registered with A.M.A. Facilities for care of Neuropsychiatric Disorders
  15. Somebody said a convent was there and Tremont owners threw the nuns out and that was why it went to hell it was cursed.

  17. 3201 Allen Parkway is the reimagining of the former Star Engraving Company Building into a modern retail, creative office and restaurant project in the heart of Inner Loop Houston. Formally home to the Houston Children’s Museum, the Anza Falco Museum of Art and Design, and the Stages Theatre. The redevelopment was designed by Perkins + Will. The landscape architect is SWA Group, and Perrin Projects handled the interior design. I just received a gallery invitation to view the architect's drawings for this new Houston museum. It's slated to open in 2010, first in some sort of temporary building and later in a permanent structure. This is the first I've heard about it. There's virtually nothing on the internet as to location or funding and very little about its purpose. Information, anyone?
  18. wow! I found a hidden Houston museum. Never heard of this one. Looking on opencorporates, this business was active in the late 1960s to early 1970s. I believe Preston Weatherred was the owner/manager. Did anyone ever go here? Any memories of this place? Nine To Ninety Antique Toy Museum, Inc. 3900 Montrose * Houston, Texas Open 1:00 – 9:00 Daily Closed Mondays
  19. I saw on a neighborhood yahoo group that Late nite pie might be closing? Could that be true?
  20. The Men doing restoration traditionally host " Before and After" open houses before a significant project- The Harriet Bath House on Avondale Comes to mind. I went and want to share Before Pictures This was Karl Hall studio house in 1913- He was artist who was hired to architectural murals in brand new Rice Institute.
  21. "Montrose sports bar has issued its last call. Revelry on Richmond Ave. will close on July 31." https://houston.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/07-06-22-revelry-on-richmond-sports-bar-montrose-closing-date/
  22. Kamalan Bakery, the Asiatown spot known for its layers cakes, fruit and vegetable-flavors buns, smoothies, and teas, will take over the Montrose spot that was formerly Avondale Food and Wine. Details on the new location are scant, but signage is already up at 240 Westheimer Avenue. Avondale Food & Wine, the cafe and bottle shop that was originally called L’Olivier, closed in July after 10 years in the neighborhood. Owners Mary Clarkson and Olivier Ciesielski said at the time that they were hoping to reopen in a smaller location.
