77017 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 (edited) With all the land clearings going on around Houston, I thought we could list and continuously update them all in one thread. The one stuck in my head now is 59s @ Weslayan. There's a huge chunk of land right there where they tore down that old brown building. Any info?Sauce.

texas911 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Went to Best Buy on Gessner and 59South and the mega auto dealership next to it is gone. Used to be a Sam White dealer. Passed by daily when I went to school since the 80's. Sad to see it go. Kinda reminds me of the old Gillman dealership when it was cleared.

It does take the whole block, so yeah I guess you could say W.Dallas @ Montrose. Across from the Cemetary.4 acres maybe, pretty big now that it is cleared, didn't look so big when it had buildings on it.Sold the green couch awhile back to a very nice young lady, so I know it got a good home.

bkjones98 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 What about that old warehouse on Allen Parkway? They've started tearing it down. I assume they are going to put up another apartment complex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoonerFanInHouston Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 The land on Montrose from Allen Parkway to Dallas is going to be a Muslim Center. Looks pretty nice actually. They are not calling it a mosque, which I do not know the difference. See posting on the Montrose Board for more details and I posted a Chronicle article and others posted pics of similar ones in other cities.

tony Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 yeah - that article is a good recap of the articles that have been published to date...The Aga Khan is Shi'a. The Shi'a sect of Islam do not call their religious structures mosques, though they are not offended if one calls it that. They rarely incorporate a minaret, which is only a decoration anyway. A mosque is not an Islamic "church". It is used for communal prayers but that is not its primary use as Muslims are not required to attend a mosque to worship. They are used as gathering places and as religious schools. Most have libraries. In Muslim countries people sometimes use the mosque to do homework as they are usually well-lit and cleaned regularly. The Shi'a center in Sugar Land was also funded by the Aga Khan Foundation and is on a large parcel of land north of 59. The architecture is a striking (and beautiful) example of modern architecture. I would expect the new site on Allen Pkwy to be similarly engaging and an asset to the streetscape. Does anyone know if an architect has been chosen?
