I don't know if it is still there, but the Whole Foods in Bellaire had a photo of the monorail that was in the Astrodome area up on their wall at one time. I don't know the source of the photo. Maybe the Texas Room would know.

The railroad buildings are part of the Hardy Yards property. They have been gutted and remediated. Though the property is for sale to other developers, the intention is for those buildings to be reused. Obviously, the final decision rests with the final purchaser.

"the final decision rests with the final purchaser" is the part that is worrisome and is true for almost all the remaining historical structures in Houston and Harris County.

This section of the Wood map from 1869 shows the future home of the old Jeff Davis Hospital, The City Cemetery. Newspaper editorials of the day in that era railed against the deplorable conditions of the old cemetery. I just don't know if I would want to live on top of a graveyard. What does Feng Shui have to say about that?
