Houston Electric Amusement Park On San Jacinto St.

[Highrise Tower]

What's the story with the Electric Park in downtown Houston? Wasn't this simply a name change from the other 1900s Houston park? Either the Highland Park that was located under the present-day Interstate-45 highway? Or the Colonial Park near Fannin? If I recall correctly, Highland Park was developed by an electric street car company.  The names ad up, but not the locations? 

This ad from The Houston Post dated August 15, 1907 lists the location: San Jacinto, between Caroline and Prairie.

The Houston Post dated February 18, 1906 has the article:

The New Electric Park and Theater
The Plans of the Building and a Forecast of Attractions for Houston's New Amusement Place.

Matters in connection with the new summer theater and park, "Electric Park," are being rapidly pushed and soon the contractors will be at work constructing the buildings and laying out the grounds. 

Herewith is given the architect's drawing of the front elevation of the park, showing the theater entrance and the grand stand. In regard to the light, Electric park is to be "electric" indeed.  More than enough power will be turned on to supply the lights and the place will be as bright as day after dark. 

The contract for the state appliances has been let to Clancy & Co. of Buffalo N.Y. but wherever possible the management intends to use home materials and employ home labor.  A total investment of at least $20,000 seems likely from present indications and the figure may run as high as $25,000.
