It was a beer joint in the late 70's called Thirsty Jacks. What I recall, the current structure was typical for the neighborhood as the area was generally run down. That was the case for a lot of innercity Houston since most people, at that time, wanted to live in the suburbs. This area was largely hispanic and high crime. It had 2 pool tables and a jukebox with spanish music. The apartments fronting Boston St. have always been attached are are part of the structure.
