Highrise Tower Posted September 23, 2023 Author Share Posted September 23, 2023 Map showing the address of 7800A South Main Street. Edit: Wrong service station!

Dave W Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 That station was on Main at University, but that's 6500 Main, not 7800. The Sanford map you're showing is a different location. 7800 was Kiddie Wonderland, near where Kirby later was extended to Main. Not sure what 7800A was. IIRC Mr. O'Quinn was the father of (in)famous Houston attorney John O'Quinn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
