  1. I watched demolition of the previous The Center for Hearing a Speech building located at At 3630 West Dallas Street.

    Wish I knew then, what I know now.  I would have taken better demotion photographs, capturing the business name, address, etc.

    Photos I took in 2021:

  2. In 1957, the Houston-Harris County T.B. Association constructed a building located at 2901 West Dallas Street.

    The architect who designed the building was Henry A. Stubee.

    Tuberculosis must have been a major illness back in the day. It still is, but now we have modern medicine to (better) treat it.

    Rendering (drawing) from Henry A. Stubee:

  3. This aerial photograph (depiction?) is kind of rare! Maybe it's the name that keeps it under the surface?

    DePelchin Faith Home partnered with Anna Dupree to buy and build a large campus in Fifth Ward to establish the Anna Dupree Cottage of The Negro Child Center of Houston. This would have been in the 1940s. 1947 I think?

    Building dedication with Anna Dupree and her husband beside her.

    Edit: Ben Taub on the right!
