Luminare Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Finally, someone is reusing this building. This entire corner of Westheimer and Mulberry has been dead for some time. This is that building with the famous multi-colored art wall with the dripping paint that every girl has to take an instagram photo in front of haha. The main tenant looks to be a niche thrift store called "Out of the Closet". Apparently there will also be offices for a Pharmacy and some kind of Healthcare foundation. Biscuit is on the wall, so are they involved? Is this there project? @CrockpotandGravel Anyway you would be able to fix this mess of uses? haha A lot seems to be going on here.

gene Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Dang I was hoping maybe Half Price Books would take over this building in anticipation of moving out of their current location when that time comes... and haha about the instagram comment! I shot a model there the first week they created it then never again! 🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_cuevas713 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 The name is perfect for the area. So happy for this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midtowndweller Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Really excited about Out Of The Closet! For several reasons! Mainly because it’s a nice nod to old Montrose (thrifting, lgbt) but their cause is amazing, too! Love businesses that put the community first. U can get tested and shop while you wait for your results. Saw the flyer for them maybe about four or five months ago when I went to Teahouse off of Shepherd and Westheimer. Glad to see it’s coming to fruition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see it’s coming to fruition. Agreed. While the hood is shifting and changing, the alternative crowd and LGBT crowd will always stick around. Its nice that these kinds of stores are starting to reenter Westheimer and Montrose. A bunch of the older more general thrift stores have gone, and now we are getting a lot of niche stores, which is better and they can focus on more specific looks. We definitely need more though. I was bummed when Buffalo Exchange moved to Shepherd (even though its still close to me), but we need another store like a Buffalo Exchange on Westheimer. With this latest revival trend along this street maybe we will get more options, finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crock Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 this was the original Biscuit building, so I imagine that signage is just pre-existing and will be removed love this for the area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I read "Free HIV" and was like...."wait, what?"..."Testing. Oh Free HIV Testing. That makes more sense." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 haha yeah probably not the best plan....they should have put testing under free hiv at least! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
