I was browsing the newspaper The Bellaire Texan dated April 28, 1955 and came across an article about a dance club that mentioned Contemporary Arts Museum located at 6945 Old Main Street Rd. Dance Concert At Museum Tonight There will be a concert of the Modern Dance tonight at the Contemporary Arts Museum at 6945 Old Main Street. The program will begin at 8:30p.m. and participants will be the Dance Group of the Y.W.C.A. And their guests; The Chorodrama Choir of the Unitarian Church, Reagan High School Modern Dance Club and the Jewish Community Center Modern Dance Group. Margaret Hanna directs the YW group, and the Jewish Community Center Group; the Reagan Dancers are instructed by Doris Lee and The Unitarian group is under direction of Kiki Gray. Pretty cool to see, yet again, another Old Main Street-to-Fannin Street change. I am guessing it's OMS to Fannin, as around the same time the CAM was located at 6945 Fannin St. -
I was browsing the newspaper The Thresher dated November 14, 1952 and came across a business ad for Contemporary Arts Museum located at 303 Dallas Ave. I know of three locations of the CAMH. I wonder which one is the original? This could be the first location? 303 Dallas Ave. 6945 Fannin St. 5216 Montrose Blvd. Art Museum Open Sculpture Exhibit The exhibit Sculpture - Directions and Forms open Sunday at the Contemporary Arts Museum, 302 Dallas Avenue. This is the first event at the Allied Arts Festival; Bernhardt Temmel, Director of the University of Houston Art Department assembled the exhibit to show the use of new materials and techniques as a means for a wider range of expression in the field of sculpture.

While browsing old Houston maps I noticed the Contemporary Arts Museum was at the corner of Fannin St. & N. Braeswood Blvd. The map was dated in 1950. Earlier this week I was browsing old Rice's The Thresher magazines. In an issue dated September 23, 1965 I found an add for the The Contemporary Arts Museum which was located At 6945 Fannin Street. Does anyone have any images of the old building? What replaced this structure? Is this where the TECO (then Houston Natural Gas) plant is located? TECO's history states that in 1967 the Houston Natural Gas Central Plant was built. https://tecothermalenergy.com/about/history/
