Highrise Tower Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I discovered a very unique multifamily complex! Hidden a long side a tall hospital/apartment tower that took all the fame- The tower next to the small, garden-style complex was called The Park Towers Apartments/The Center Pavilion Hospital at 1700 Holcombe Blvd. I found the apartment complex on a Google Earth capture dated 1989. Looks like they were built between 1957 and 1962. Appears to have been demolished sometime around 2002 and replaced with a surface parking lot for MD Anderson's Radiology Outpatient Center located at 1700 Holcombe Blvd. Does anyone recall these small apartments? I'm interested in the name of the apartments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdude Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I couldn't find my source for this, but I believe this building was acquired by the Medical Center and then used for offices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely a typo, but I found this strange. Everyone knew the Prudential address. From the newspaper The Bellaire & Southwestern Texan dated March 8, 1967.
