Phillip Battelstein Mansion At 2115 Wichita St.

[Highrise Tower]

I was reading the newspaper The Bellaire Texan dated April 6, 1950 and came across where Phillip Battelstein lived in Riverside Terrace.

Phillip (Pop) Battelstein, 81, 2115 Wichita, who came to Houston with practically nothing, unveiled his new multi-million dollar store on Main Street while his sons, Abe, 3615 Parkwood, Harry, 2328 Underwood, and Ben, 2333 Underwood proudly stood by.
