Anyone know what building is under construction at the SW corner of S. Braeswood and Kirby. Reminds me of the style of the long gone Jim’s/Champs (in Houston anyway).

please forgive me if someone else has previously posted this. I’m a newbie to this site and still navigating:)

Como Club was located at 6219 Grand Blvd. 

From the newspaper The Jewish Herald-Voice dated August 9, 1956:

Newcomer or oldtimer, here is your chance to break the ice at the gala get-acquainted party being given by the Beth Yeshuruan Sisterhood, at the Como Club, 6219 Grand (adjacent to the Town and Country Apartments), Tuesday, August 14, 6:30-12 p.m.

 

My Dad managed the T&C apartments. At the same time, he and my Uncle built the Ardmore Apartments (still standing) just East on the other side of the RR tracks (now Columbia Tap). Como sat where Shenandoah, Grand and S. McGregor intersected. Across Shenandoah was a gas station and small strip center with a Womack’s convenience store and a barber shop. We lived at T&C until around 1961.
