    https://www.blackcowboymuseum.com/ I've read about this museum over the past few years and want to go. May do so the next time I'm in town at the end of the year. It's not too far from the home I grew up in and actually is in the small, moderne styled strip center where I got my hair cut as a kid. It may be in that suite or the one immediately south - I don't recall. The small institution is growing a bit. https://www.fbherald.com/community/black-cowboy-museum-expansion-due-to-its-popularity-founder-says/article_389eac48-41d0-11ee-bb80-f32b0e3bc0e1.html "The museum recently expanded to include the Black Cowboy Hall of Fame room, which will serve as an educational classroom for visitors. “We needed more space,” Callies said. “We’re continuing to grow. We’re getting more artifacts and memorabilia all the time and the groups of visitors are getting bigger and bigger. Everyone wants to come and see the Black Cowboy Museum and learn about the black cowboy.” Presently, the museum itself has no room for sitting. Visitors, many of them elderly, must stand to hear presentations and discussions on black cowboys. The educational classroom has seats for about two dozen visitors. A church group from Houston was the first to use the room."

    Hadn't seen this part before... "The street level will house an approximately 3,000-square-foot Urban Street Market grocery store with a deli, coffee and bistro on the corner of Texas and Austin, across from the Catalyst high-rise and 1414 Texas Downtown mid-rise apartments. "There’s a lack of grocery store options in this part of downtown," Momin said. "This valuable addition to the downtown area perfectly complements the surrounding community and the extended stay Staybridge Suite Hotel situated at our location."

That was the case for POST, which has unique architecture and is the most Instagrammed building in Houston, he said. “It’s a cultural institution at this point,” Brown said. “When you’re here, you will see a lot of people who are here on vacation from foreign countries with camera crews, I kid you not, setting themselves up on the various stairs doing videos.” The building “didn’t have to be this way,” but its architectural details and historical values make it a valuable part of the city, he said.

    And for being absorbed into Red Lion back in 2016. For what it's worth, Street View shows a bunch of changes happening to this property in the previous decade. Sometime between 2016 & 2018, it went from the Lexington branding to Sleep N Go. Also the east wing of the hotel and it's pool appear to have been removed for more parking. It has been without property signage since at least 2021 based on what is shown anyway.
