Highrise Tower Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 A little confused with this one. Wasn't a "Palace Hotel" actually built by the Houston Terminal? Maybe this was only a proposal and never got built? I thought I read that this hotel was built and active? Or possibly, this was a second hotel near the terminal station? The hotel was developed by Palace Hotel Company, and designed by Joseph Finger and James Ruskin Bailey. Two of Houston's prominent architects of the time. Tom Tellepsen was the contractor. Which is very cool! You don't hear about many present-day contracting companies being around for 106 years. Drawing of the Palace Hotel by Finger & Bailey Architects. What was actually built, and still stands! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EspersonBuildings Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 At first glance it looks like the Londale Hotel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
