Ethanra Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I didn't want to start a new topic ... so I'll ask here because pf the picture in post #838. Which building(s) have an observation floor open to the public and which block would it be at)? Thanks, I have been DT thousands of times but never to an observation floor. Also, I have seen pictures of the interior of a gorgeous bank. Which building is that?Thanks ...... Main Place is looking great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well's Fargo (the tall green one) has one.I'm not sure which lobby you're speaking of, but the Chase lobby in the old Gulf Building is opulent. It's grandness is like going back in time.

Jax Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 (edited) Both the Chase Tower and Wells Fargo sky lobbies are great and free and open to the public. Just go up the elevator to the sky lobby floor (it should be marked) or ask security. Be careful though, security generally doesn't like it if you take pictures (still not totally sure why). You have to be sneaky to take them. Be discreet about it and don't let them see your camera when you walk in.

I know it was in the past but then they closed it... is it open to the public again? Edited May 19, 2009 by HtownWxBoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to college @ SFA (awesome college) in rural Nacogdoches. Once I moved back to Houston, I bought a place in Midtown and have loved every second of it. Downtown/Midtown/Montrose/Museum District are some of my favorite places in this state (and I've even lived in Austin). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
