Really it’s the owner who can’t afford repairs. At least it’s still intact. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make a good point. Perhaps down the road someone with more money will come along and restore this little hidden jewel. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean you hope that someday someone comes along and restores Houston Center back to its original anti-pedestrian, 70's fortress look? 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not necessarily, but I think the Houston Center restorations could have been more sympathetic to the original architecture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbleweed_Tx Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Check out the detail above the windows. It's all about to be covered up again. Every window has a different icon. 3 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish the owner had the money to restore it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_cuevas713 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) No idea how this is allowed. I'm glad what's underneath is salvageable but man I really don't get Houston sometimes. Edited May 11, 2021 by j_cuevas713 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staresatmaps Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Don't go Nimby on us. If it wasn't allowed it would be a surface parking lot by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_cuevas713 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Does anyone know the specifics about who owns this building? I remember not too long ago when this building was supposed to become a cafe but it fell through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staresatmaps Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 They sure do have a monopoly on the homeless market. Why would they want to change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
