How Well Do You Know Your Skyscrapers?

[Vishen]

For those who have been residing in Houston all their lives, how well do you know your skyline? What's changed over the years? Any old buildings torn down or any new names?

Too many to list, but HAI has it nailed pretty well. Don't know if the editor still keeps up the database but I'm sure he does.

 

I have a useless talent of knowing floor count, height, names, a date of completion of most of our skyscrapers. I'm a blast at parties.

Well, as a place that has added and been adding many more residents to its population, some places are hardly recognizable. Here's a cool link (a bit dated, though): http://www.rentcafe.com/blog/rental-market/changing-skylines-10-time-lapse-images-show-houstons-dramatic-transformation/

Thanks for sharing this link. The RentCafe site really has some great information on it and I got to see some really nice images of some of the buildings in Houston.

I bet he will get you the info!  I think he passed it to me recently i'll take a look.  We may want to move it out of the database into the forum in reality..
