Houston Fire Station No. 33 At 7100 Old Main Street Rd.

[Highrise Tower]

I was browsing an old HISD board meeting report dated May 14,1956 and came across a directory listing for the Houston Fire Station No. 33 at 7100 Old Main Street Road, AKA Old Main Street Fire Station.

Very rare find! Later, after the OMSR name change, this Fire Station was located on Fannin Street, with a presumed address of 7100 Fannin Street.

I believe, in the present day, this is an empty field. This is the site of the Medical Village: Proposed Mixed-Use Development by Slosburg.  I still don't understand that site! The value must be so high that none of the medical institutions can buy it. The vacant land is one of the only remaining undeveloped parcels in the TMC.  This parcel of land and several surface parking lots. Though, of course, MD Anderson controls a lot of undeveloped land around as well.
