Subdude Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 One well known example was the South Texas National Bank on Main. This was a Greek revival structure that was torn down in about 1982 to make way for a development that never happened. The site was used for parking for many years, but I think there may be something there now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbates2 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Used to be a bank building with columns that looked sort of like the Islamic center only smaller and some period buildings. I have seen a number of pictures of it, I will post them when I have time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbates2 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Yep. Wasn't there one or two more buildings between this and the Franklin Lofts building? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind it was demolished in 1983, a time when no one may have wanted an old building in that area. I haven't seen any details on condition, but the owners would have kept it if they could have made money renting it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 What a beast this building was. Love it!! Shame it was demolished. Under Construction in 1909. Final photograph in 1910. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
