Highrise Tower Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 While looking at a photo of the Shamrock Hotel on Main & Holcombe I noticed something on the corner of my eye. There appears to be a First City Bank branch on South Main Street, right before you reach Holcombe Blvd. Does anyone remember this bank branch? I wonder the address? For some location context, it appears Valian's Restaurant located at 6935 South Main Street was next door. I don't know the bank's address, but that is close enough! You really need to study the building signage, but it reads First City. I believe, 20 years later, First City Bank moved down the block to 6424 Fannin Street. There were a lot of banks on South Main / Fannin. It's a business district, so money, cash, is involved. Lots of banks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted September 23, 2023 Author Share Posted September 23, 2023 A restaurant near me has a poster-sized print of Main and Holcombe in 1960. How cool is that! I noticed this exact spot in the photo. Is this just billboard signage? If not, the building is very skinny. The parking lot isn't paved, but the restaurant next door has a parking lot.
