OutfieldDan Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 What's the deal with the construction barrier along the back of Heights Hospital along the 400 block of W 20th street? There has been no activity for at least four months and the street is reduced by cordoning off the East bound lane behind the Hospital. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They first went up when the brick facing on the upper floors blew down during Ike. Not sure what the delay is in getting rid of them.

Not sure what the delay is in getting rid of them. I just used the City of Houston Service Center web site to report this. I asked them to have the barriers removed. We'll see if anything happens any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3mh Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Pretty tone deaf to exercise a lockout remedy on a hospital during a pandemic. But I also do not understand why the hospital didn't go into bankruptcy to get a stay (haven't checked PACER, though). I am hearing that the owners are allowing some access to the building, but it does not look good for the hospital. https://abc13.com/houston-lawmakers-fighting-to-reopen-heights-hospital-closed-during-pandemic-owners-owe-millions-in-rent-documents-show/9820845/ 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Looking for information about the old Heights Hospital. Believe the date is around 1920s - 1940s. Did the hospital system go out of business? Did Heights Hospital merge with one of the TMC institutions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
