SteveW Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 About 2 weeks ago I was leaving the Nouveau Antique Art Bar on Main and decided to loop around the block to get a closer look at that mural on the adjacent abandoned building. I noticed a guy in a large truck loading or unloading something on the Fannin side of that building. It was around 11pm at a vacant building so I found it rather odd. I also noticed some barrels stored on the property. Does anyone know the status of that property? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejack Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 There definitely seems to be something going on there. From the Main Street side there's a secure looking door with a camera and no sign. I wondered about it myself.On another note, I love that mural. It was featured on a Houston Press entry a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 That's the old MHMRA building. Looks OK from the outside, but is apparently pretty useless on the inside. Charles LeBlanc at Midtown Authority told me a few years ago that it has 7 foot ceilings, inadequate elevators, dead end halls, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One can dream... right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
