Nate99 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 ^^^ that pronounced "crack" is most unfortunate and quite dangerous.... right?? I'm interested to hear if Mollusk got any inside scoop. That wall looks to be load bearing, you can see the other side of the bricks from inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adr Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Not that I have any insight into the crack in particular, but one of the stunning features on the inside of Hearsay are these large steel horizontal struts that appear to basically be holding the building together, and look as though they may have been added after the fact.

kbates2 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 It is the oldest commercial building in Houston, older even than La Carafe. I've never heard that. I have actually heard that there are several older than this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejack Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 There's a lot of conflicting information in reports I've read. This article says the Pillot building is oldest, so I'm not really sure. https://www.bisnow.com/archives/newsletter/houston/houstons-oldest-buildings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_cuevas713 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Sooooo... is the crack going to be repaired? I would hate for one of those "structurally unstable" comments to be made and the thing is demolished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollusk Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Sooooo... is the crack going to be repaired? I would hate for one of those "structurally unstable" comments to be made and the thing is demolished That is apparently the plan, once they figure out how best to do it. For the time being, there's now a support post underneath the Hearsay sign to take some of the weight off of the front wall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hate to lose that building. This used to have a pizza place called Village Inn Pizza I believe. It also housed the original Diverse works before a fire gutted it. Either that or it was a building where the parking lot is now. Its been a long time since they were here. Probably mid 70's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UtterlyUrban Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 This is more great news for the Area.I am a bit surprised that something more like a MKT Bar didn't move in there but, heck, if this place makes good pizza, they won't be able to make them fast enough for the skyhouse crowd, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adr Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I missed this! So in addition to Boots N Shoots on 506 Main and a possible partnership with Conservatory, they're opening another place. Very interesting. Looks like these guys are trying to be downtown's next Bobby Heugel Brad Moore and Ryan Rouse. Since that story was first written, the For Lease signs have gone back up in the building. It doesn't look like they are moving forward with that. Really weird/cool to see Brad Moore get a shout-out in this forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nole23 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Didn't realize the Brewery Tap closed. When I went to their FB page it says they closed, but it will be taken over by new management and will be a different bar. So Hopefully It won't be vacant.

Wow, terrible beer on account of dirty lines, but they've been there since 1987. That's unfortunate. I hadn't been there in years, but distinctly remember hoisting a few pints there the very first day it was open, and for a while it became a semi-regular stop whenever I was in the vicinity. It was opened by the original owner of the Gingerman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
