yak23flora Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I took these photos in one of my Photography classes at UH, 1989 or 1990. Mostly just things that I found fascinating, and brick buildings are fascinating to me, as well as the contrast between old and new. Don't know if these will be worth posting, for I am not an architect but a designer, I figured I'd share anyway. Click for full size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modernceo Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 SWEET! Downtown BEFORE revitalization. You may very well have the ONLY Golden Star Adult store pic in existence.Exactly. I was just thinking that to myself. Downtown, photographed while it was deteriorating, and before the revitalization/lofts, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-Town Man Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Old Foley's Building, isn't it? 12 Spot is (was) there now.I thought the old Foley's building was demolished. It was where that parking lot now is on the 400 block, east side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
