RedScare Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 The Great Hizzy! said: I'm trying to picture where they would locate on Preston @ Fannin. What empty location is there currently? I'm drawing a blank as to the name of the building. However, it is a roughly 8 story building on the southwest corner of the intersection. It is south of the Harris County Administration building, and next door to (or behind) the Scanlan Building at 405 Main St. Starbucks will be on the corner of the first floor. EDIT: The Republic Building William Ward Watkin had his office of architecture on the 11th floor of the Scanlan Building as well. Here's the 1920 business advertisement from the City of Houston directory. WM. Ward Watkin Architect Scanlan Building Houston WM Ward Watkin, M. A.I.A. E.B. Church T.S. Simons C.M. Sanford L.J. Woodruff Cram & Ferguson, of Boston, and WM Ward Watkin, Associate Architects A photograph of William working in his office. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
