A little knowledge about the famous Houston-based architect Maurice Sullivan.

He started out as an engineer working for Gabriel Concrete Reinforcement Company. Some years later he became the city architect of Houston.

Maurice was practicing architecture in the 1910s, 1920s, and 1930s.

In 1908, he lived in the Rice Hotel.

In 1913, he was hired by the City of Houston: Sullivan Maurice J., architect, city engineers department.  Residence: The Kingstone, 818 La Branch.

In 1918, he finally got an office inside City Hall! Room 207.  Called "City Architect's Office."

My favorite building of his is the First Presbyterian Church or the Villa de Matel Convent.
