samagon Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 http://www.bizjournals.com/houston/blog/2015/07/houston-tech-company-moves-forward-on-headquarters.html I thought I remembered there was an existing thread for this but I can't find it.that looks like the original Schlumberger building on Leeland and Delano. https://www.google.com/maps/@29.743255,-95.353177,3a,75y,242.71h,97.33t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1syw_buzWTqOHkrNeCqWOtUA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1 In fact, on the street view, there's a picture hidden behind the power pole (another reason the city needs to bury these things!) and it looks exactly like what's on HBJ. Every time I see it, I wish that someone would clean it up, I was wishing it would be turned into condos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cspwal Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 It'll be interesting to see what this building becomes. Also wonder if they'll keep the fire escape exposed or cover it like the Central Bank building. Such a nice building that just needs to be restored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Stan Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I had a dream about this building. It was full of zombies. For the longest time I've always wondered about the history behind it. I'm glad they've decide to make use of it instead of turning it into parking space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Stan Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Had you just watched Fear of the Walking Dead? This was a while ago. I use to drive past the building frequently to get to Navigation. Seen it when I was a kid when we'd go grocery shopping at Kim Hung in the early 90s. I've been using google street view to scope out warehouses in the area to convert into a garage/residential and chance upon it again. So I googled it and found some blurb about Kraft taking down the Maxwell House sign from a coffee plant in the East End. It mentioned the previous 2017 Preston warehouse. And of course HAIF never fails me if I need to find out info about an old building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-Town Man Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Welders and architects told him the windows, which were manufactured in St. Louis 100 years ago, could not be saved because they'd have to be removed in order to be restored, and that wasn't an option because of the way they were built into the structure. "Everyone told me to rip these out and have them recreated in a factory in China," said Denenburg, who was determined to redo them in place. He points out the curvature of the handle that cranks open the windows. "See how beautiful this handle is? You can't find that anywhere," he said. This guy gets it. I wish the owners of the State National Building had this kind of care for history and detail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollusk Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Is that a power wash or paint? I'm thinking paint, because power washing tends to go from the top down unless you don't mind running dirty water over the freshly cleaned area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLan34 Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 The old Waddell Furniture warehouse (shown here) is being transformed into “industrial chic” lofts while the old Cheek-Neal Coffee building is being redeveloped into tech offices.
