In the actual photos it looks like they are just windows using a different color of glass or maybe glass with a different reflectivity.- 1,067 replies

MidCenturyMoldy replied to brijonmang's topic in Downtown
I'm guessing he meant Texas Tower and not the Travis. Texas Tower and Brava have almost the same number of floors but are very different in height...and they're both in the above photos.- 1,067 replies

Texas Tower: 47-Story Office Tower At 845 Texas Ave.
MidCenturyMoldy replied to democide's topic in Downtown
Call me "boring" if you wish, but I really would prefer it if the top looked something like this instead.I don't like the diagonals. Maybe the top could be a bit more dramatic than what I've done here, but I didn't want to spend forever photoshopping this thing. Honestly, if Hines had just plopped one of these in that location, I would be ecstatic.- 2,216 replies

Multifamily Development At 3300 Montrose Blvd.
MidCenturyMoldy replied to dbigtex56's topic in Going Up!
Extra tidbit about Numbers: The original entrance was out front on Westheimer where the current entrance is, but for a while, you walked back along the west side wall and entered through a back door and onto the stage. That didn't last. ETA: I spent about half of 1979 at Numbers. Then at the end of '79, Parade Disco opened in the building that is now the Menil's Dan Flavin exhibit on Richmond. I loved Parade because Monday and Tuesday nights were New Wave Nights and they knew what they were doing music-wise.- 322 replies

Multifamily Development At 3300 Montrose Blvd.
MidCenturyMoldy replied to dbigtex56's topic in Going Up!
#s was originally called Numbers and "number" in gay slang meant "hot guy" as in "He's a real hot number" or "There's a hunky number over by the bar." Before it was Numbers it was a dinner theater called "Bev's Million Dollar City Dump."- 322 replies

Is that a serious question or a joke? I can't tell. Anyway, if it is serious, Emporis has Brava at 549 feet with 46 floors and Market Square Tower at 498 feet with 40 floors.- 1,067 replies

In the early 80s I was taking some art class and one of the assignments was to come up with a "conceptual" project. My decidedly lazy response was to propose the world's tallest and widest billboard with a painting of a mountain on it to be placed just east of downtown. This way the cliché bayou view of Downtown's west side skyline would have a mountain behind it. The eastern side of the billboard would have a painting of the eastern view of the skyline with a mountain behind that. My other (even lazier) proposal was to put a giant, rotating green neon dollar sign on top of the newly completed Allied Bank Plaza (now Wells Fargo).

Some of us are so damned old we still think of it as the Humble Building. My dad worked there when it opened in 1963. I got a molded plastic model of it from the Mold-A-Rama machine on the top floor. I was disappointed...I wanted a model of the "Domed Stadium" instead. I vaguely remember being in the car when my mom picked my dad up at the old Humble Building on Main at Dallas. The owners need to leave the building as it is. Maybe even replicate the cool space-age fountains it originally had out front. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/local/gray-matters/article/The-Humble-Oil-skyscraper-stripped-of-its-Mad-5579787.php#photo-5530951
