Specwriter Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 That image is a little later than the 1930s. The lead automobile looks like a 1964 Pontiac. The TENNECO building on the right of the image was completed in 1963 IIFC. Great shot though. Where are you finding these, hindesky? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be posting the ones I think are cool. Another cool picture, but again, almost certainly not from the 1930s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously not all are from the 1930s though the structures in the images may date from that time. It is amazing to see how Houston has changed in less than 100 years though. Even though oil was making its way on the scene in a big way cotton was still an essential commodity.

plumber2 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Plus this is not Memorial Drive. I suspect this shot is near the starting point of Allen Parkway. Memorial Drive would be a few blocks north of this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbleweed_Tx Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 the Lanier building was finished in 1968, the tree's shadows say it was taken in summer, so this is either summer of 68 or 69. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
