Triangle Refineries Office Building At 2600 Nottingham St.

[Highrise Tower]

Cool! I wonder where exactly was this office building?

Found the article in the newspaper The Southwest Citizen dated August 31, 1950.  Well, I wonder if the building is still there? Depending on the money of the land, it was probably demolished and a new building took it's place?

Does anyone remember this company, or business?

Oil Co. To Build Office

Grounds for the new $250,000 Triangle Refineries modern covered office building at Kirby and Nottingham were broken Monday by J.B. Saunders, President, West University Place official and other company officers.

The building contract calls for completion in six months, when the company ill move from its present offices in the Neils Esperson Building.

From 75 to 100 employees will work in the two-story building, which will cover 16,500 square feet. The structure will be reinforced with concrete and masonry. Salmon colored bricks trimmed in natural stone will set off an all grass front.

There will be 50 offices in the new Triangle Building. Mahogany and walnut panel with deep carpets will decorate executive rooms, which open onto a landscaped patio.  The building also will have a kitchen, employee lunchroom, dining terrace and covered parking area. Musak will provide music in all the offices.

The building was designed by Lenard Gabert and contra ted by Fretz Construction Company.

A Trademark for Triangle Refineries shows 2600 Nottingham, which would be the Bank of Texas building (5500 Kirby). Rice U has some architectural drawings of it in their archives, but no digital copy. I'm curious what the office building looked like.

Bankruptcy court file in Minnesota. 

Also found a superfund site outside of Atlanta, which is now a tank farm owned by Citgo.

That was the location of the Triangle Refineries building, which was owned by Triangle Realty.
