Highrise Tower Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Earlier this week I was researching the Baker Ripley family. They even built the Savoy Apartments turned Hotel! Architect who designed the building was none other than Maurice Sullivan. I saw a photo of the old building, must been built in the 1940s. However, there wasn't an exact location, an address, to be found. Later on, I found the address! Text on the building states ? Baker Ripley Foundation An article from the newspaper The Bellaire Texan dated June 29, 1977.

Highrise Tower Posted October 28, 2023 Author Share Posted October 28, 2023 Very interesting! BakerRipley still owns that huge parcel, but has moved the building to the opposite side. Now a baseball diamond occupies the former building site. The building is in a "w" shape. 1953: 2023: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
