Highrise Tower Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Amazing find here! Uptown sure had lots of physical activity going back in the day. I wonder if there are any photographs? The baseball field was also named Post Oak Park. From the newspaper The Houston Post. dated July 21, 1923: Game Notice. The Post Oak team will play the George L. Glass No. 1 team Saturday afternoon at Post Oak Diamond. Sunday afternoon Texas Sporting Goods team will play at Post Oak. Post Oak has one of the best diamonds around Houston on a good five miles out on Westheimer Road. Seating capacity is grandstand about 400 people and accommodations for about 50 cares back of a 200-foot backstop 10 feet high. The Houston Post. dated February 17, 1924: Post Oak Notice. All Post Oak players are asked to meet at Post Oak Diamond Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. All players that do not have cars will please rig Hadley 7024 or Hadley 3867. All last year's players and others that wish to try out are asked to come out. Post Oak will have as good a diamond as any in the city, and a dressing room with shower, bath, and grandstand to seat about 30 people and a back stop about 150 feet long, from 10 to 20 feet high. Located five miles out on Westheimer Road at Post Oak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
