The TMC Mid Campus is really unique. The institutions have yet to take ownership of all these 1-story, 30-year old buildings. Here is one business that's located in an MD-Anderson dominated area. MDA will soon buy this small automotive shop and add it to their land holdings. Med Center Collision Paint & Body Shop 1040 Lehall Houston, Texas 77030 713.799.2207 Here are the two photos that I took today: -
Houston Fire Station No. 33 At 7117 Fannin St.
Highrise Tower posted a topic in Texas Medical Center
Today I stopped by to take photos of the Houston Fire Station No. 33 located at 7117 Fannin Street. The building is very well kept. I hardly remember the demolished one that was located across the street. Here are the two pictures I took today. -
Shriner's Hospital, then called Arabia Temple Crippled Children's Hospital, was built in 1952 in the Texas Medical Center. I could never find the address. Any help HAIF Historians? Designed by "star architect" Alfred C. Finn the building stood massive. Alfred C. Finn's rendering/drawing of the hospital.

Given that the old (most recently new, built in the 1990s) Shriner's Hospital is about to be demolished, thought I would share some of the previous buildings they built in the Texas Medical Center. The Arabia Temple Crippled Children's Clinic was located at 1402 Outer Belt Drive. Outer Belt Drive no longer exists and was renamed Cambridge Street. Photograph: Postcard:

Assuming that the Nat'l Guard facility you're talking about is the one between Almeda and Fannin, it's about to be closed and relocated to Ellington Air Force Base. The Texas Medical Center (UT-Health Science Center maybe?) will be taking the land to build additional medical/research facilities. They just built a "proton therapy" center next door to it. I'm guessing there used to be a lot of cattle out that way when you used to drive through there... -
The old DeBakey High School for Health Professions on Shenandoah St. is coming down. I suspect it might have something to do with the new UTHealth Psychiatric Hospital being built across the street from it. Perhaps it'll be the site of parking as the new hospital will displace a parking lot. This is the only photo I could find of the demolition process. -
This is (radical) and I wanted to share. TCH has a nice campus at Fannin & Holcombe. The circular/oval sky bridge is infamous. IMO, it's the best sky bridge in the whole Texas Medical Center! Although, Houston Methodist's Centennial Tower is supposed to have a 13-story sky bridge, which sounds out of this world too. TCH offers the campus map in their Wayfinding section of their website. https://www.texaschildrens.site/wayfinding/maps.html All four buildings have basement/underground parking. I believe that is very expensive to do, and also risky due to flooding.

Designed by FKP Architects, the Texas Children's Hospital West Tower started off, originally, as a single story (2 story?) building. The tower portion expansion happened in the 1990s, or early 2000s I believe. Here's a picture I took today.

I was wondering if anyone could help me here. I have a physical document in front of me from the Texas Medical Center that omits Garage 13 from the official list of garages. What's going on here? Is this the same how elevators skip the 13th floor? Very bizarre. TMC Garage 12 was built in 1991 and TMC Garage 14 was built in 1994. If there was a garage built, it would have been between 1991 and 1994. Does anyone know anything about this? Usually, if the garage is private, for medical staff only, they would indicate as such. Maybe HAIF can play a discovery game where the objective is to try and find the missing garage.

I was wondering if anyone could help me here. I have a physical document in front of me from the Texas Medical Center that indicates the Texas Medical Center Parking Garage 9 was built in 1988 with a parking space capacity of 200. It was under the title of Operating Agreement through 2088(d). In 2024, there is 64 years left under the operating agreement. However, I can't seem to locate the garage! Not through physically being in the medical center, or through online TMC parking maps. Was this garage demolished for a new building? Or being in Houston, demolished for a surface parking lot? Another idea is the garage is now private, for medical staff only, so it's not advertised to the public. Lastly, this garage could be underground, in the basement, of a hospital so it's harder to find.

The Texas Medical Center Parking Garage 14 located at 1919 South Braeswood Boulevard appears to be contract-only. The garage is a smaller structure. I wonder if they would ever demolish the building an add onto their Administrative campus on Greenbriar and Braeswood. Photos I took this weekend:

In 1951, the The Wiess Memorial Chapel was built in the Houston Methodist campus at the Texas Medical Center. Decades later, the chapel was disabled and placed back together inside the Houston Methodist Dunn Tower which is resides today. I'd love to go look sometime. I'll have to ask my chaplain friend of they want to go visit with me. Here's a brochure/flyer from the 1950s regarding The Wiess Memorial Chapel. I'll look for actual photos of the building later on this week. Maybe the City of Houston Public Library Digital Collections will have a picture? Edit: Found a photo of the historic chapel! The chapel was located to the right of the hospital. Closer view:

Today I stopped by the Texas Medical Center Garage 17 located at 1653 South Braeswood Boulevard. Interesting enough, the garage has a sky bridge to the MD Anderson Jesse H. Jones Rotary House International Hotel. I wonder if MDA leases apart of it from the TMC? Maybe a few of the top floors are allocated to MDACC. Photos I took today:

The Texas Medical Center Garage 5 located at 1001 Holcombe Boulevard has a unique, curvy in parts, design. It looks like a 1950s MOD to me! I wonder the architect? Today I stopped by to take a quick picture. The curvy part is facing the MD Anderson Main Campus. Looks like I got the rear of the building.

I visit the Texas Medical Center Parking Garage 7 located at 1120 John Freeman Boulevard once a week. It's actually a very nice garage and was recently being re-painted this past month. Sometimes I feel like the garage isn't big enough and needs to double its capacity. On a busy day, the garage is 90% full and the only parking spaces remaining is on the top floor. Let's build more!! I thought the TMC parking rates went up, but I don't mind paying the $5. Sometimes I get out in under 15 minutes and its free! The parking ticket system is amazing. LAZ Parking and the TMC built some really nice parking stations. During the COVID-19 Pandemic, they switched to contactless. You just wave your hand in front of the screen and you will get a ticket. Photos I took today: For once, the TMC skyline is portrayed. Love the graphics!

Today I stopped by the MD Anderson Operations And Maintenance Building located at 7510 Bertner Avenue. In the spare space, MDACC keeps drinking water in a shiny truck. I thought it was cool how there was an MD Anderson branded tanker truck. Pictures I took today:

Another parking garage supporting the MD Anderson Main Building and the Houston Methodist Inpatient campus. The Texas Medical Center Parking Garage 6 is located At 1329 Moursund Street. Today I stopped by to take a few quick photos. The building is a little basic. Regular old pre-cast garage. The TMC skyline on the graphics on the pay stations is awesome! How I miss those two hypodermic needles a long Fannin Street.

Forgot about the Baylor College of Medicine The Vivian and Bob Smith Medical Research Building. Very cool green space and fountain! Love how it creates a peaceful place that's sandwiched on all sides with buildings. The building was undergoing a fresh paint job and power washing. Good for them for taking care of the place. Photos I took today:

The Institute for Religion and Health located at 1129 Wilkins Boulevard was demolished to make way for the Houston Methodist Research Institute. ISH now has located further south to 8100 Greenbriar Drive. Original building was cool. The building featured a tall, slender tower.

Designed by Alfred C. Finn in 1945, the Naval Hospital was located on a 118-acre site donated by the George H. Hermann Estate. In 1946, the hospital transferred into the United States Veterans Administration Hospital. Edit: This would have been at Marlborough Drive and Almeda Road. Marlborough Drive was renamed to Holcombe Boulevard a decade later. The Naval hospital sits exactly where the current Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center is located. The address to the current VA hospital is 2002 Holcombe Blvd if you want to use it as a reference, or mapping point. I researched, for weeks, the address on Marlborough Drive. I could never find it. Should we just use the current VA hospital address? 2002 Marlborough Drive? If I recall correctly, there was a Baylor College of Medicine team working at the Naval hospital as well. Maybe even MD Anderson and Hermann Hospital as well? Found a rare photo of the Naval Hospital building signage. You don't see this everyday.

Interesting to note, the Texas Medical Center Parking Garage 11 located at 1102 Bates Avenue is contract-only. This isn't a public garage. I do wonder if a patient could apply for a monthly parking pass, just as an employee of the TMC would. The building/street signage is kind of hidden. I believe it's not well displayed because it's a private garage. Photos I took over the weekend:

There is a park that spans a few blocks called MD Anderson Wortham Linear Park that contains the Levit Family Garden located at 1212 Holcombe Boulevard. The small park actually has 2 separate water fountains! Impressive. I know who Gus Wortham is but I'm not sure who the Levit family would be. I assume the garden is named after Joe Levit, of Grocers Supply Company. The park starts on the outside of the Lowry and Peggy Mays Clinic.

I never looked hard enough at this beautiful garden and fountain. I don't know who Dorothy Hudson is, but LeRoy Melcher is a commercial real estate developer. Smaller company with only a handful of properties but he has been in the business for a while. Spring season so the flowers are blooming! Very nice arrangement. Here are a few pictures I took over the weekend: The Dorothy H. Hudson Memorial Garden: Welcome to the Chrysalis Gardens, A Place of Healing and Discovery. Flame sculpture art. A symbol of knowledge, achievement, and hope for the future. Commissioned to mark the Golden Jubilee of The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and to honor patients and employees. Celebrated in 1991. LeRoy Melcher, Jr. Memorial Fountain A reminder that peace and tranquility, are best shared. A gift to the patients and employees of The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center from Mr. and Mrs. LeRoy Melcher, Sr., LeRow Melcher III, Pierre Melcher, Marc Melcher, Dodd Melcher. And other devoted family members and friends Established 1990.
