Hi, does anyone remember the following schools near the Heights? Cleveland Elementary, that was formerly on Jackson Hill. The original Ben Milam Elementary was on Center Street. Cleveland Elementary had a prime spot off of Memorial Parkway. After it was closed, it was part of HCC. It's been since torn down for apartments/condos. I attended there around 1965-1970. The architecture of the original Ben Milam struck me as kind of creepy as a kid. It was brick painted green, I believe and had a long series of steps on at least 3 sides of the school. Reminded me of a Mexican pyramid. The school was dark and creepy with wooden floors. The "basement" of the school was actually the ground floor. I believe the school was built around 1915. I think it was torn down in the '80s and rebuilt. Last year, it was closed down when HISD decided to merge it with Memorial Elementary. I attended this school around 1972-1976,

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. -
Does anyone have experience with the Texas Medical Center affiliated (through Texas Children's Hospital) The Rise School located at 5618 H. Mark Crosswell, Jr. A friend was doing some research. Figured I could ask HAIF since we know everything about Houston schools and buildings.

Ernest Bel Fay lived next to his brother Ernest Fay. In the 1920s/1930s they both an 18-acre plot in the Uptown/Memorial area located at 105 North Post Oak Road. Decades later, his house now serves as one of the buildings on The Fay School campus. The "star architect" John F. Staub designed the home. https://www.thefayschool.org/ Here's a photo of the old house back in the 1930s.

Houston Independent School District, HISD, maintains the school called Cullen Middle School located at 6900 Scott Street. The school was named after the famous Houstonian Hugh Roy Cullen and is located in Third Ward/South Park. https://www.houstonisd.org/cullen Awesome "campus" by the way. If someone was looking at historical photographs, the running track may have been misinterpreted as a race track. The school occupies whole city block.

Did anyone else go here? My brother went here but I went to a private school in Montrose Fondren Middle School is apart of the Houston Independent School District, HISD, and is located in the Fondren Southwest neighborhood, bordering Meyerland. Interesting campus. No sports, race, athletic track? Instead, a bunch of left over land? They should add some sports! Edit: It appears the oval track has since grown-over with dirt.

Weirdly enough, I've never seen the (2nd) original The Post Oak School talked about on HAIF. Thought I would create a thread. Did anyone ever go to this school? That block has a historical location! The school campus next door, Episcopal High School, is one of the most expensive schools in Houston! I know of 3 different The Post Oak Schools 1 - The original on Westheimer & Post Oak in the early 1900s. 2 - 4600 Bissonnet Street in Bellaire. 3 - Their new high school, located at 1010 Autrey Street in Montrose. https://www.postoakschool.org/

Found the 2nd build of Travis Elementary School. The photograph was taken in 1909, so I can imagine it was built around the same time frame/decade. I wonder the architect? Didn't Harry D. Payne do a lot of work for HISD around the same time? Also Jones & Tabor. I do wonder if the school was located at the same location as the current Travis Elementary School. The address to the current school is 3311 Beauchamp Street. I see there is additional park space at the site, called Travis Spark Park. I would assume the land was donated by the Travis estate, so it must be the same location?

This is the first Travis Elementary School- simply called Travis School, or Travis School House. It was located on McKinney Street in downtown. Looks like Travis Elementary School was built 3 times? 1900s, 1910s, and the most recent built in?

Designed by architect Olle Lorehn and built in October 27, 1912 located at 1701 Maple Street. The school was named after Thomas J. Rusk and was first called Hamilton Street School. Hamilton Street School was located at Hamilton and Commerce Streets but the school had burned down.

Taylor School was rebuilt and designed by Jones & Tabor Architects. Totally different than the original school. This would have been built in November 14, 1915. I'm thinking the original Taylor School was built in the late 1890s.

From the planning commission. This school is looking to expand. Seems they are asking the city if they (COH) will allow for the abandonment of a large part of Hadley St. Anyone know if there are any renders for this one? Glad to see a school in this area get some upgraded facilities. Seems like some recreational facilities will be added to this campus as well.- 8 replies

There are lots of references to the building from 1938, specifically naming Kenneth Franzheim, who at the same time was commissioned to design Lamar HS. You can draw some similarities between the designs of the two buildings. According to this article the building was planned to be next to the existing Taylor School, facing Smith Street, so about where the parking garage across from the old library is.

Found a cool old school under construction and wanted to share. Under the direction of Nuns of the Incarnate Word built the St. Patrick's School in Fifth Ward located at 1102 Maury Street. This would have been in the year 1912.

Lamar Cato designed the Friendswood School in 1939. The school has since been renamed to Friendswood Junior High School. You can tell the original 1930s building by this satellite image of the current school campus. The Lamar Cato deigned-building is the AA Gymnastics Academy building.
