Can someone please identify this high school? Where was it located? Photo is circa 1907. Imagine if it had been saved? Even better, can we ever identify the architect? Appears like one of Nicholas J. Clayton's works of art. http://www.family-images.com/misc/schools/1907%20Houston%20Texas%20High%20School.jpg

On the block across Prairie from Cabo, I noticed today that the doors were open on one of the old buildings with workers coming and going and that there are permits on the windows for plumbing and interior work. Looks like it used to be a Tapas restaurant, Solero maybe?

Here are some links to a very interesting house that started it's life in 1916 in downtown Houston and was moved south to the Brazos river area in the 30s. http://lifeonthebrazosriver.com/ScanlanHouse.htm https://mylifebehindbars.net/2017/02/02/the-scanlan-mansion/ Here some lucky kids got to explore it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hc4O32eiT5Q Coordinates are approximately 29° 28'44.35"N 95° 28'58.64" The story doesn't have a happy ending.

Not sure if this is where Twelve Spot Bar is located, but the W.L. Foley Dry Goods Co. building was located at 214-218 Travis. The Houston Architectural Guide says it was built in 1889 and designed by Eugene T. Heiner. The Post described the store as "magnificent" and "palatial" at the time.
