Tumbleweed_Tx Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 the then HL&P Building was finished in 1968, the shadows say that this view of downtown was winter of 1969. It must have been cold that day since the flag on City Hall says a north wind is blowing and it's 12:30 in the afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photos were taken on May 16, 1966 by my wife's grandfather, Glenn E. Musselman, who worked for many years in the Texaco Building. These are unbelievable pictures... Look at the man "repelling" from the top! The Houston Chronicle story (further above) I had never red before. My grandfather was ZD Bonner....and the family 'legend' (if you could call it that...) is that he "had it taken down" because it cost too much to maintain and run. I can believe it, as fabulous as it must have been as a neon sign (for it's sheer size). Thanks so much for all the shares on this part of Houston! I think the building itself deserves more credit :-). Marisa Bonner 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
