A construction photo I found online. I believe it's from 1962. Historic picture! Both of the historic towers that got demolished on the left and right.
I managed this building from 1990 to 2018. It is really cool that A&M saved the superstructure. The exposed parts of the superstructure on the west elevation with glass. It replaced the Carrara Marble wall. Pretty exciting to see what they did to modernize. Saving the super structure prevent them from having to move the building back to comply with current set back codes. They are now working on the 3rd building on the site. I was also designed by the some of the same architects that did the Astrodome. I saw the old Prudential (MDA) building imploded from the top floor.
