Abandoned Houston Police Garages

[gto250us]

Some work has been going on at the abandoned Police Garage on Washington Ave. They are scratching up the dirt around the old abandoned building. Anyone know what they are doing? That is a prime piece of property. It would be nice the the city would move both the fire department and police garages to another location. But, I don't think that is in the cards.

not sure if this means much, but it was listed under "demolition" - is this even the right place?

Look like the place. I wonder what is going in there. Next door is a coffee distributor and the proximity to the cops means that a doughnut factory may be going in.

Another prime Moderne building soon becoming another prime townhouse site? Such an interesting and historic structure but possibly impractical to convert into something economically viable. Shame.
