Scalan Warehouse On Smith St. At Preston St.


Recommended Posts

In 1909, the Scanlan sisters built a 6 Story Warehouse on the corner of Smith Street and Preston Street.

The architect was out of the ordinary.  The Scanlan sisters used D.H.Burnham, Architect out of Chicago, IL.  I wonder why they didn't pick someone local at that time? Houston had some fantastic architects back in the day.

Kate Scanlan was notable female Houston real estate developer. I actually didn't know that! One of the early pioneers.
