I was reading an article in the newspaper The Jewish Herald-Voice dated October 11, 1951. There was a club hall located in an previously-occupied business called Washburn Venetian Blind Co. Frisch-Jacobs BBYW Get your party together now, and plan to attend he Frisch-Jacobs Mask Parade Dance on Halloween night, October 31, at Washburn Hall. Prizes will be award for the most original costumes . . . and all are asked o wear masks. Reservations can be made for a table, for your party, by calling Sally Schalit, OL-9916, before Oct. 31. Washburn Hall is easily found on Peerless, off O.S.T. (or behind Al's Bar near Holcombe and O.S.T. Intersections).

woah! I actually found an address to this incredible building! Now I wonder who the architect was? That's the next thing HAIF should figure out. I will ask, what exactly is this? A club of sorts?

Believe I just found the original City Auditorium! The 1895 auditorium was built on Main Street at McGovern Street. The 1920 city auditorium was built at, or near 615 Louisiana St. Very cool history here!! I never even knew this existed!

I need to verify the location of this building. I thought I read it was on Prairie Street, but I could be totally wrong. I'll look into this a little more later. Edit: Turner's Hall- Corner of Prairie Street and Caroline Street. This event venue is slightly confusing. The official postcard alludes to the actual name of the complex? Maybe I'm just misreading things? Progressive Houston, Volume II (1910 - 1911) mentions this: Exterior and Garden View of Turner Hall, Bowling Alleys and Band Stand, Covering One block of Ground. Houston Turner Hall- Interior View of Dance Hall, Sixty by One Hundred Feet - Maple Floor. Houston Turner Hall- Ladies' Reception Hall. Houston Turner Hall- Ladies' and Gentleman's Lunch Room. Houston Turner Hall- Bowling Alleys- Six in Number- Standard in All Features- Largest in Texas
