Houston Club is toast. The Club itself has moved and merged with another downtown social club. The few retail tenants on street level have all been chased off as well. The building is now virtually empty. It's a goner. A BIG loss for downtown in my mind. Additionally, someone mentioned on HAIF today that surveyors were in the tunnel system underneath the building today...

Fucking ridiculous. Why in the world does Houston insist on destroying every last bit of history it can? Are there not 40 vacant lots already downtown? So regressive. Lets see just in the last year or so we've lost the old YMCA building, Sam Houston hotel, that amazing warehouse that the Houston police department turned into a god damned surface parking lot, and now the Houston club building; and there's not much left to begin with. But I digress we need more surface parking lots and grass lawns downtown. Luckily the buildings closer to the bayou on Main Street are in a protected historic district so hopefully those stand a fighting chance.

Are you sure Allen's Landing is a historic district? I thought it was just the Sixth Ward.

Heres a clickable map for all of Houstons historic districts which thanks to Anice Parker are actually protected from tear downs unlike they were a couple years ago.
