Never knew about this small, local, park in the TMC! Now swallowed-up by the Houston Methodist Research Institute, and the Walter & Centennial Tower. 1129 Wilkins Street Garden Club of Houston Park (1982) Charles Tapley Associates This exquisitely detailed garden court seeks valiantly to compensate for the mean, chaotic, indifferent treatment of public spaces within the Texas Medical Center. The fountain is a rewarding demonstration of what can be accomplished with thoughtfulness and ingenuity. Unfortunately, the garden was conceived as an isolated treatment rather than the model for more amenable public environment within the medical center. -
I found out that the Texas Medical Center operates the Laurence H. Favrot Tower Apartments. They are only open to Texas Medical Center professionals and other staff and their dependents See: http://www.tmc.edu/tmc-residence.html http://www.tmc.edu/tmc-res_plans.html shows floor plans of the typical apartments By the way, the apartments are zoned to the following Houston ISD schools: * Roberts Elementary School * Ryan Middle School (IMO, the area around Favrot should be rezoned to Pershing - Ryan is not too popular with Westsiders) * Lamar High School

Have been searching thru Google images & several forums w/in HAIF w/out much success. In the past the good folkes of the Historic Houston Forum have always come through w/some really good photos of old historical Houston prior to tear down or total abandonment. So as time permits would someone be able to provide some photos or perhaps a link to go & view?

Medical Center National Bank (also known as Medical Center Bank) was located at 6631 Main Street in the Texas Medical Center. The bank was active in the 1960s and got swallowed up by bigger banks. Presumably, decades later, to become a JPMorgan Chase bank. The architect of the bank was Skidmore, Owings & Merrill/SOM. The bank had such a unique design that it's easy to spot on old skyline photos of the TMC. Or, when you are looking at historical aerials it's easy to spot. Here's an advertisement from 1966. A photograph of the (now demolished) bank.

I have a request for the HAIF Historians. Does anyone have any renderings or photographs of this building? I see one, maybe two, unknown buildings but I do not want to claim it as the wrong thing. The building has since been demolished. Information from 1961: New Nurses Home To be Constructed Houston (AP) – A million dollar fortune left by a bicycle shop owner will be used to build a nurses home at the $100 million Texas Medical Center. Leland Anderson, Medical Center President, said construction of the six-story March Culmore Hall will begin immediately. Culmore died on December 12, 1952 at the age of 80. His will left the bulk of his estate to a trust fund for construction of the nurses home.

wow! I had no idea this was here! I thought there was a K&L clinic a long the side of Fannin Street? The information was found on the 1955 Sanborn Map and the Texas State Journal of Medicine, Volume 51, Number 7, July 1955. The clinic looks to have been on the opposite side of the South Main Shopping Center, across from the Medical Towers. Kelsey & Leary Clinic 6611 Travis / Houston, Texas / JU 0628 M.P.

In 1963, Kelsey Seybold, then called Kelsey, Seybold, and Leary, built a 2-story hospital at 6624 Fannin Street in the Texas Medical Center. Growth soon happened and in 1966 and Kelsey & Leary had to build an expansion on top of the old building. I personally never known about the expansion until this week! The architect for the expansion was Ralph Anderson, Jr. of Wilson, Morris, Crane, & Anderson. Original building in 1963: Expansion in 1966. Also worth noting that one of the partner's names has been dropped. Hospital is now called Kelsey-Seybold.

The most infamous green space in the Texas Medical Center. Whoever the landscape architect was did an outstanding job! The small description listed on MD Anderson's parks and gardens webpage: https://www.mdanderson.org/patients-family/becoming-our-patient/while-youre-here/parks-gardens.html The Prairie Enjoy winding trails, trees, benches and birds. This setting features a 2-acre native prairie and wetland restoration, complete with educational signage. Here are some photos that I took today. Prairie Pothole Wetlands, Oasis and Nursery. Flowers and Flyers, MD Anderson Prairie Wildlife Oasis. Return of the Natives, Prairie Returns to the Texas Medical Center. Photo of the week! The TMC skyline with fresh spring bluebonnets. An aerial photograph that I took a few years ago. It is worth noting that there is two proposed buildings planned for this site. I don't think the green space will last much longer.

Today I stopped by MD Anderson's Healthy Living Garden that is located on the west side of the Dan L. Duncan Building. I agree that it's nice to see park land next to all these hospitals. It really does feel peaceful being amongst the grass and flowers. A lot of the parks have uplifting quotes as well. Keep your spirit up! The small description listed on their parks and gardens webpage: https://www.mdanderson.org/patients-family/becoming-our-patient/while-youre-here/parks-gardens.html Healthy Living Garden Observe seasonal herbs and vegetables growing in this demonstration garden. Educational signage provides tips for healthy nutrition. Here are two photos that I took today:

The Extended Stay America Suites Hotel located at 1301 South Braeswood Boulevard has a limited time. Located practically across the street from TMC Helix Park and some vacant MD Anderson land. MD Anderson will need this hotel parcel in order to build. Although, it is nice to have some budget (regular) hotel options when you are sick. Maybe it's a good thing that this hotel is here. Here's some photos that I took today:

MD Anderson Sculpture Art At 1155 Pressler St.
Highrise Tower posted a topic in Texas Medical Center
I wonder if that's why all the construction equipment is located at the MD Anderson South of Holcombe campus? Today I stopped by all the different gardens and prairies and noticed the sculpture art. I wonder if this art installation will be located inside the Dan L. Duncan building? It's located right outside. If so, HAIF has broken the news once again! I haven't heard anything in the media about this. These could be old and are being removed? For reference, here is all the equipment behind a blue screen fence. Artwork: -
This is such a small space to own. They would have to buy the Extended Stay hotel next door in order to build anything.
