Apartments At 1800 Holcombe Blvd.

[Highrise Tower]

I discovered a very unique multifamily complex! Hidden a long side a tall hospital/apartment tower that took all the fame- The tower next to the small, garden-style complex was called The Park Towers Apartments/The Center Pavilion Hospital at 1700 Holcombe Blvd.

I found the apartment complex on a Google Earth capture dated 1989.  Looks like they were built between 1957 and 1962.  Appears to have been demolished sometime around 2002 and replaced with a surface parking lot for MD Anderson's Radiology Outpatient Center located at 1700 Holcombe Blvd.

Does anyone recall these small apartments? I'm interested in the name of the apartments.

I couldn't find my source for this, but I believe this building was acquired by the Medical Center and then used for offices.

Most likely a typo, but I found this strange.  Everyone knew the Prudential address.

From the newspaper The Bellaire & Southwestern Texan dated March 8, 1967.
