Highrise Tower Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 This is very cool! I never knew Pat Foley developed an apartment building in Midtown. I thought he and his brother only developed department stores. One for the history books here! Edit: This is dated March 14, 1914. G.W. Colignon was the architect. Located on the corner of Isabell Street and Fannin Street. Looked on Google Earth, and I couldn't find it. Is there an official address to this building? Rendering: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EspersonBuildings Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Not sure of an exact address but an approximate guess would be 4002 Fannin, which would be the southwest corner of Fannin and Isabella. 3920 Fannin is at the northwest corner of Fannin and Isabella where an apartment building from that era (very similar to your building) still stands today. Across Fannin is the superblock that is now 4001 Fannin with a midrise apartment building occupying the entire block, the former site of St. Agness Academy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EspersonBuildings Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 My mom went to Incarnate Word Acadamy, class of 1954. I believe St. Agness was their rival. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
