Houston19514 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I think th 3 hours ago, H-Town Man said: There were buildings on the site in October. Have they been demolished? I think the article misstated the streets that bound the block (and I quoted the misstatement.) The block with the address 100 Crawford is surface parking.

The block with the address 100 Crawford is surface parking. I hope it turns out the streets are correct and the address isn't. Would rather this project be further on the margins. The land where the vacant warehouse is would certainly be cheaper, which gives hope to that possibility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchFan Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I hate to say this, but I worry about flooding. Perhaps if we really build the proposed bypass channel for Buffalo Bayou, projects like this will be less likely to be affected by that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 So this is just across the street from Wagon Works, but to the north. A mexican restaurant opened up in the existing turn of century warehouse when we lived there. I like the old warehouse much better than those apartments. This is not a good look for the old neighborhood. Looks like it should be on Richmond between Chimney Rock and Hilcroft. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattyt36 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 It’s not that different from the original rendering of the Dolce Midtown, which hasn’t turned out anything like the rendering. It’s also still under construction after what? Four years? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstontexasjack Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I saw workers on this site today prepping this site for demolition. Just looking at the condition of the metal in the old building made me glad I got a tetanus shot this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_cuevas713 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) It looks like they are doing asbestos abatement first. I did work like this on the old courthouse downtown. Edited May 29, 2018 by j_cuevas713 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm guessing) the plastic would confine any loose asbestos from scattering, but it could still settle in the crevices of the bricks. The power washing would remove the last of the residue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 This was around 1998 -2000. We lived in the PPG building on the south side of the Wagon Works building from 97-2002. I took the dog for a walk at least once a day every day. Sometimes walks over to check on construction of Metro rail, and the Enron ball park and sometimes around Irma's original and the the Jackson exit ramp. We'd walk out to the end of the ramp before connected and would be above the old 59. Great view of downtown and a long way down.Then I'd take her out in the early evening. Love the old power plant along the bayou and it seems that Brinks or Rollins had a building where the trucks were stored. Of course I always kept my eyes out for that bag that fell off the back off the truck, but I never found one. Used to go over to the biscuit building while under restoration. That building had the most incredible space on the top floor where the ovens were originally run.. Huge steel beams and great windows. It was big enough to play basketball games in . Very tall ceiling and all brick. The light was fantastic. Just a wonderful space that I hope has been utilized. They eventually built the Star of Hope building across the street from it. 2 hours ago, Elseed said: Out of curiosity, what year was this? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
