J.J. Sweeney Apartment House And Retail Store On La Branch St. At Congress St.


Recommended Posts

In 1913, J.J. Sweeney developed a mixed-use development with an apartment house and ground floor retail on the corner of La Branch Street And Congress Street.

The architect (architecture firm) was C.H. Page & Bro, Architects.  C.H. Page & Bro was the company name of Charles H. Page.  Although, I do believe C.H. Page practiced on his own before forming a partnership with his brother?

Cool history here. J.J. Sweeney was extremely influential in Houston.  You don't often hear about someone who made their fortune with jewelry too often!
