Highrise Tower Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Awesome!! Wait. These two articles could be discussing different buildings? The time lines add up, and both were on the corner of Dallas street. One says Dallas and Crawford, the other says Dallas & Travis. The number of apartments seem to be different as well. 18 vs. 28. I'd say maybe incorrect reporting? The apartments are very similar! I unearthed a rare Joseph Finger building! Found in the newspaper The Houston Post. dated January 26, 1914. The Heidingsfelder Apartments The Heidingfelder Apartments to be erected by C.E. Heidingsfelder at the corner of Crawford and Dallas at a cost of approximately $50,000. The building will contain 18 apartments, all of the apartments being provided with hot water at all times. The building will be constructed of dark-colored pressed brick, richly ornamented with terra cotts. It is the intention of Mr. Heidingsfelder to erect a garage and servants' building in the rear of the apartments for the accommodation of those using the apartments who have autos or servants. The plans for the building were drawn by Joseph Finger, architect, 321 National Bank Building. A few months later, it appears the apartment building was called Lonoma. The Houston Post. dated March 8, 1914. Work Progressing Nicely. Work on the Lonoma apartment house, now under construction, corner of Travis and Dallas Avenue, will be resumed in a few days, Architect Joseph Finger predicts that the building will be ready for occupancy within the next six weeks. The building will contain 28 apartments have will be equipped with modern conveniences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
