Highrise Tower Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 As I was researching George Hermann I noticed he was President of the Tel-Electric Company. I wonder if he founded the company or bought it? I never knew about his telephone/electricity past and history. I believe the 602-604 Preston Street location was the second location of the business. Thought I read, at an earlier time, they were located elsewhere? Very cool building, and to think G.H. Hermann was President is awesome! Do we know the architect? From a book published in 1913: Tel-Electric Company One of Houston's large electrical supply house. From the 1908 City of Houston directory: Hermann, George, H., capitalist, office 214 Binz bldg. sw. ph. 629; prest. Tel-Electric co.; vice-president Houston Car Wheel & Machine Co.,rms 1117 San Felipe. Sw. ph. 3266 Photos taken in 1911. Interior views & building of Tel-Electric Co. Jobbers of electrical supplies of every description. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
