  1. I was told this building will be demolished but didn't have a timeline as to when. HCAD shows it being 2902 Tuam St.
  2. Does anyone know what year the Lyric Center was built? Also, does anyone know the name of the white building about 30 floors, located somewhere between the Lyric center and the JPMorgan Chase tower? When viewed from the west, it has rectangular windows in the center of the building that are longer vertically than horizontally. The windows on the north and south edges are more square shaped. It is relatively new and I don't see any info on it in the list of downtown buildings? Been away from Houston for a while so any help would be appriciated.

  4. Formerly Saint Dane's - new poles / beer garden maybe being set up in former parking lot? Looks like the Pizza Patron logo? Very curious. Getting close to finishing the spur redo
  5. I was looking on Micro-Flim of the Bryan-College Station Eagle the other day and I noticed an old fast food restaurant opening College Station called "Tinsley's Chicken 'n Rolls" Boss Bird. It Also had double drive thru. Do any of you remember this restaurant? Was it a chain? This was around November 1979.
  6. I was wondering if it is possible to go to the observation deck at the chase tower? Do they let people in there?
  7. I heard they are going to demo that 'landmark' building to pave way for mixed-use development. Anyone has any info on that development?
  8. Noticed this matchbook recently and wondered about the business. Does anyone remember this store? I assume it was active in the 1960s. Looks to be where the current Robert's Carpet is, across the street from Shops at Arrive River Oaks.

  9. As we have moved through 3 years of discussion and planning a new building for Bellaire HS, I have committed to keep you as informed as possible. Among starts and stops, I have been proud of the manner in which our community has supported the Bellaire Project Advisory Team (PAT). Additionally, I have appreciated the commitment the Houston ISD has made to continue to search and explore all alternatives in the search for the best possible solution to a very challenging project - specifically - trying to rebuild Bellaire HS in our current 17 acre site while continuing to house and educate our 3500 student population. This was always going to take a large number of people working in concert and that has remained true. That being said, I am excited to share what is the most promising and exciting news so far about the Bellaire project. Monday afternoon the HISD Bond Department presented the new direction for Bellaire at the scheduled PAT Meeting. Based on the overall $136M budget for a new Bellaire HS, the recommendation is below: Spend majority of current project dollars to purchase the “Chevron Site” located at 4800 Fournace - which is at the northern tip of the City of Bellaire (approximately 30 acres) Commit funds to renovate elements of the current property at 5100 Maple so as to sustain the current facility as we wait for construction at the new site to begin. This decision would likely necessitate that Bellaire HS be added to a future bond of which a certain date is not known. However the district would have secured property that is appropriately sized for a large 6A High School. While this new direction brings great optimism to our project it does have some caveats. It will need HISD Board of Trustee Support. Successful negotiation with Chevron to purchase the property. City of Bellaire zoning changes that align with our educational need. This new plan is a recent development for our project and, once presented to the PAT, there were many questions asked. I am confident that the HISD Bond department will continue to work diligently to collect any requested information and appropriately present it at a future meeting. I am hopeful that you share my same sense of optimism and that you are excited about the opportunity to participate in helping us make this our reality. Our Board Trustee, Mike Lunceford, was in attendance for the meeting and he stated that this proposal could be shared with the Board of Trustees for consideration as soon as the next October meeting. While our work is not complete and the journey will be long, I am encouraged by the long term vision inherent in this new plan. I believe it has the best chance to work for our students, faculty, staff and community. I appreciate your continued support. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. enjoy the day, michael http://www.houstonisd.org/site/default.aspx?PageType=3&ModuleInstanceID=117408&ViewID=7B97F7ED-8E5E-4120-848F-A8B4987D588F&RenderLoc=0&FlexDataID=181919&PageID=81504

  11. Very, very cool piece of history here! This was the original Foley store, and then they moved to 214-218 Travis Street. The building was built in the early 1900s, I believe 1909! Not to be confused with the Foley's Department Stores. This business was made by brothers Pat and James Foley, who ran a dry goods business referred to as W.L. Foley Dry Goods Co.

  18. This thread was originally created July 22, 2018. I'm reposting / reupping this because this post and other content from me are no longer available on the forum. An archive link of this thread before its deletion is here. Mods, please don't move this to the Heights forum where all of my other Washington Corridor posts were moved to this week. This is NOT in the Heights and it's not part of the Heights area. It's the Washington Corridor area, an entirely different area that as suggested and advocated for previously needs its own forum. There is lots of development happening here, much spurred by the Sawyer Yards and Buffalo Heights developments, which usually merits the creation of a new neighborhood fourm. Thanks.

  19. 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!
  20. I don't know if there is a name for the building at 416 Main St. It's in the Central Business District in downtown Houston. According to Houston Time Portal, the building was home to a bar and billiard parlor named The Cabinet. Moritz Weil Cigars was located there too. The building was also home to Gordon Jewelry Co, according to Arch-ive.org. The lot at 416 Main St is situated between the Byrd Building (420 Main St) / Byrd's Lofts (919 Prairie St) and the State National Bank Building (412 Main St). January 2022 Google Earth image
  21. https://realtynewsreport.com/2020/01/09/redo-underway-at-the-1001-fannin-tower-in-downtown-houston/ HOUSTON – (Realty News Report) – A multi-million-dollar renovation is underway at the 49-story 1001 Fannin building in downtown Houston. The 1.3 million square-foot Class A office building is located about three blocks from Discovery Green park. The tower’s modernization project includes a new 8,000-square-foot fitness center adjacent to an all new tunnel-level tenant lounge fully equipped with a variety of entertainment features, along with seating and gaming areas. Hotel-style enhancements to the building’s main lobbies have been completed and include new escalators, artistic lighting, and a new coffee bar with open seating areas offering a matrix of collaboration opportunities for tenants and their guests. In addition, a full renovation of the building’s North and South exterior plazas is slated to begin this month. The new improvements will provide collaborative lounging areas to further elevate the tenant experience both inside and outside of the building. Expected completion date for all building renovations is mid-2020 with the addition of a building conference center anticipated for delivery in 2021. “We have been involved with 1001 Fannin since it was originally built, and we are excited about the building’s future success,” stated Patrick Meara, president of UIDC Management, LLC, which Is the general partner of the tower’s ownership group. “The building’s location neighboring Discovery Green, Greenstreet, several new multi-family projects in the area and the Four Seasons hotel has always made it a very compelling option for the Central Business District’s top office tenants, and we are confident that our renovations will truly capture the future of the workplace.” “We are excited that building ownership has moved forward with these renovations at 1001 Fannin. The building has been and will continue to be a solid option for tenants looking for elevated office space in downtown Houston,” says Chip Colvill, CEO and president of Colvill Office Properties.
  22. Can anyone make out the location? Edit: Based on the surrounding buildings, this would take out the small strip center at 1801 Post Oak in Uptown. https://www.google.com/maps/place/1801+post+oak+blvd/@29.7474982,-95.4611141,3a,75y,87.71h,90t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sXd5WoOxdOvHSXYP4vzM0OQ!2e0!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0xff016152317bbfc1?sa=X&hl=en-us https://vinetower.com/project/luxury-hotel-residences-houston-tx/
