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: Address upper right, 3630, and building letter signage with "center" on the left in the pile of ruble.

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: Photograph of the building. Building signage.

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! The cottage style campus as seen in the 1940s:

In 1892, Agnes Perry told Kezia Payne DePelchin she could use her home as a Faith Home for the unfortunate children and orphans. This is where it all began! DePelchin Children's Center is still operating today, some 132-years after the founding. Photos of the historic mansion/house.

I didn't know the Cullen family donated money to build the residence hall of The Center for The Retardation. Just amazing information I found. I actually watched the demolition of this old building back in 2021. Sad to a Cullen building be torn down Bummer! SI Morris & Associated was the building architect. Newly built building in 1979: Demolition in 2021:

The Texas Research Institute of Mental Sciences was founded as a Baylor College of Medicine project in 1955 and funded by the state legislature in 1957 as the Houston State Psychiatric Institute for Research and Training. It was under the administrative management of the Board for Texas Hospitals and Special Schools, with the requirement that it act as the research and training branch of the state mental health and intellectual disability service system. The TRIMS was located in the Carriage House at The Baker Estate.

From what I understand, the St. Anthony Center was a retirement center for Priests. Found some information this week. I thought the Sacred Heart College campus was before the St. Anthony Center. According to this map, it was located on the next block over.

The George Hermann Estate put out a short documentary about him. Within the documentary there was a depiction of the 2-story family home in downtown Houston. The house (mansion) was located 122 Smith Street. I believe the drawing/painting is accurate. They accurately depicted Hermann Hospital in the same video. Very cool history here. This would have been in 1843. 181 years ago! Now there is a city park where the house once stood. Hermann Square Park is located at 900 Bagby Street. Hermann Hospital:

Levit Green: Life Science Mixed-Use District By Hines
Highrise Tower replied to TheNiche's topic in Going Up!
Hines' new Levit Green life sciences campus near Texas Medical Center adds tenant Apr 15, 2024 https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2024/04/15/hines-levit-green-life-sciences-pranax-tenant.html Houston-based Hines has landed another tenant for Levit Green, a 53-acre life sciences campus near the Texas Medical Center. Pinehurst, Texas-based PranaX inked a lease for a 7,400-square-foot, turn-key lab space on the second floor of Levit Green’s Building 1 at 6420 Levit Green Blvd., Hines said April 15. PranaX’s business focuses on using exosomes, or membrane-bound extracellular vesicles, to confer regenerative therapies aimed at treating aging, inflamed and damaged tissue and organs. The company recently entered into a technology licensing agreement with the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center to commercialize exosomes as therapeutics, natural supplements and wellness products that can promote healthy aging.- 373 replies
