If you go through the shots by Browning the San Jacinto Monument and a lot of the others are dated 1946.  However, this picture appears to be part of an another undated series.  I'm guessing they go together by both the sequence and similar shadowing.  The series seems to include Market Street Drive-In Theater, "Long Warehouse by Railroad Tracks", "Rural Warehouse by Railroad Tracks", "York Supply Company Buildings", "Rural Homes and Businesses" (the shot in question), "Rural Industrial Facility", "Rural Shipping Yard" (2), "Rural Industrial Complex and Cargo Ships", "Industrial Facility and Docked Ships", and some other ship-building ones.

 

So my (new) guess is that these might have all been taken on a single aerial photography trip over the east side to the Ship Channel, focusing on rural industry and shipping, and it makes sense that a pipeline company would be in that part of the city.  I'm looking at Historic Aerials in that area but haven't found it.
