North Side Methodist Church At 1235 Lorraine St.
Earlydays replied to Highrise Tower's topic in Historic Houston
The Gulf Building was cool. My brother-in-law was a weekend DJ at a classical music radio station in the building. The studio was near the top of building. I remember he would let me launch rubber band powered wooden planes from an open window in the studio.....great fun! This was in 1958 when I was 13.- 3 replies
