Highrise Tower Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I'm confused. Looking at a 1950 Sanborn map and I see a Houston Lighting & Power Co. West Junction Power Plant located on Holcombe Blvd. I believe this is the same parcel of land that had the two Holcombe & Meyer mansions. The mansions predate the power plant? I lined it up, I see Cambridge, Staffordshire, and Holcombe. Cool find!! When was this demolished? They rebuilt on the opposite side near Fannin and Brays Bayou? There's a CenterPoint Energy Plant At 6955 Fannin Street. Current area, presumably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
