Gun Club At 11221 South Post Oak Rd.


Highrise Tower

Recommended Posts

I was looking at old aerial photography and noticed a gun range formation near the intersection of South Post Oak Road and South Main Street. Closer towards Gasmer and S. Post Oak I guess. The gun club was located across the street from a supposed race track.  I assume these two places were operated as a singe sports club.

Anyone know the name of either the gun club or race track?

1953 includes an oval race track on the opposite side of S. Post Oak.

This could be the Main Skeet Club?

The 1942 book called Houston, a history and guide mentions:

Trap shooting:
Main Skeet Club- 7 miles Southwest on US 90.

I misunderstood and thought that shooting range was located at South Main and Willowbend.   Looks like I have them switched? Different decades.  The one at the "end of willowbend" is from the 1960s.

Spoiler
