Highrise Tower Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 I found this postcard on worthpoint. Does anyone know about this? I searched and couldn't find anything. I can only assume this hotel was located within the Highland Park Amusement Park that was below the current-day Interstate-45? Awesome building!! Very cool. I also found an advertisement in the newspaper The Houston Post. dated June 18, 1906. Highland Park Hotel Cool, nicely furnished rooms and excellent board, by week or month. Old phone 4503 A.F. M'Clean. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NenaE Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 (edited) Nice pic...any idea what that white frame is for, on the left side of the hotel? It's huge. The two guys in the background are so small standing by it. Surely that's not a roller coaster frame. Mysterious. Here's a map showing where the hotel was located..close to Houston Ave. at Highland (later Parkview). The word under Highland Park says "hotel". map.source - harris county archives maps. BTW - the house on the northeast corner (Hou.av. x Parkview) dates to 1902. It's a beauty. Edited July 21, 2023 by NenaE 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
