Alkemeyer Department Store At 808, 810, 812 Prairie St.


Recommended Posts

Interesting to note that this drawing is mentioned as "New", meaning there was a previous building, or location, of this department store? Or maybe it was specified as a brand new company having a grand opening.

This 1907 building was under ownership of Conrad Bering, and he let the Alkemeyer Company build and lease the parcel.

Would (love) to know the architect! I'd imagine a local Houston architect of the time.  H.C. Cook & Co?
