I think you're referring to the Dickson Gun Plant. Have you checked the Handbook of Texas as to its location, etc.?

Thanks for that Handbook of Texas reference!

Yep. I remember my dad talking about it. It was his first job as a metallurgist. After the war, he and the rest of the crew went to Hughes Tool Company where he worked for 37 years.

I don't think I have an old postcard, but I did find this post:

After working at Theatre Inc or the Playhouse Theatre back between 1958 and 1961 we would go there after the show because Valian's was open late. We would also go for breakfast at Cokin's on South Main on opening night and wait for the Houston Post to publish Hurbert Roussel's review.

I grew up in the 50s in Houston and I would love to see an old photo or postcard image of Valian's Pizza Restaurant. It was located on South Main. Does anyone have any? Thanks!
