Highrise Tower Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I was browsing Ebay for historical Houston items and came across an extremely rare restaurant on South Main! Roland Busch's Famous Seafood Lobster House At 8419 South Main Street. Kinda of confusing. Roland Busch was the owner of the restaurant Pier 21 located at 7001 Old Main Street Road. Was this Roland's first business? Or was this after Pier 21? Very cool stuff! A lot of the 1940s/1950s famous South Main restaurants did not make it to the 8400-block area. Would love to see this building. Apart of a retail strip center or a stand alone building? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I don't remember that restaurant. But when I was still a child in the 50s, the only owner of Pier 21 was George Dentler, son of the man who founded Dentler Maid potato chips. If Roland Busch ever owned it, it would have been earlier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucesw Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) Here's an earlier HAIF thread with memorabilia showing Pier 21 as Jack Landers Pier 21 and Roland Busch's Pier 21. Like Dave W I only ever knew it as Dentler's Pier 21. Looks like Busch's place on S. Main would have been in front of where Target is now?
