Shamrock Plaza Apartments At Holmes Rd. & Scott St.


Recommended Posts

I was looking at the Houston Public Library Digital Archives this week.  I've never seen some of those old photographs before!

I found this interesting picture of a city bus going through the Holmes at Scott intersection.  I know there was a big Shamrock craze back in the day. Anyone ever heard of this place? The aforementioned date is 1961 and the Shamrock apartments have an address of 7006 Scott St.

If I'm pointing the Apple Maps the right way, that interesting-looking building on the left is gone, but the traces of the parking lot remain.
