HOUSTON, TX

Houston Skyline from Interstate 45, Houston, TX Founded in 1836 by Augustus Chapman Allen and John Kirby Allen, Houston was named for Sam Houston, one of the most prominent leaders of the Texas Revolution in the 1830s. The city was incorporated and became the capital of the Republic of Texas in 1837, before the capital moved permanently to Austin in 1839. The city grew slowly as a major trading hub for the state of Texas beginning in the 1840s, and became the main railroad hub of the state of Texas by 1890. However, the city lagged behind the nearby port city of Galveston, located on the Gulf of Mexico, until the 1900 Galveston Hurricane devastated the city, leading to an effort to create a deepwater port at Houston, which was further inland and better protected from hurricanes. Between 1902 and 1914, the Houston Ship Channel was deepened, creating a large port at Houston, leading to the beginning of the city’s continual rapid growth ever since, growing from under 100,000 people to over 2,000,000 people in the century between 1910 and 2010. The city’s skyline today is dominated by skyscrapers built during the energy and real estate boom of the 1970s and 1980s, and includes several buildings by significant architects, including Philip Johnson and John Burgee, I. M. Pei, Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, and Pelli Clarke Pelli Associates. The city has continued to see major growth driven by the petrochemical industry, and today has the fourth-largest municipal population and fifth-largest metropolitan area population of any city in the United States, as well as being one of the nation’s most ethnically diverse cities.

Houston Police Department Central Patrol Station, Riesner Street, Houston, TX Built in 1947, this Art Moderne-style building was constructed as the Houston Police Department Headquarters, and served in this capacity until 1997, when the headquarters moved to a newer facility. The building features a limestone-clad exterior with metal-frame ribbon windows, a vertical circulation tower at the main entrance with a decorative stone screen wall in front of the stairwell curtain wall, horizontal window shades, and a large modernist rear addition. The building presently serves as the Houston Police Department Central Patrol Station.
Heritage Plaza, Bagby Street, Houston, TX Built in 1986-1987, this Postmodern-style skyscraper, known as Heritage Plaza, was designed by M. Nasr and Partners for Clarion Realty Services as the last of a series of skyscrapers constructed during the height of the oil and real estate boom in Texas during the 1970s and 1980s. The building stands 53 stories and 762 feet (232 meters) tall, and features a tinted glass exterior with stone paneled accents, a Mayan Pyramid-inspired crown with a stepped pyramidal roofline and decorative piers, which emerges from the glass curtain wall at the top of the building, and a stone-clad base that also takes the form of a stepped pyramid. The building is one of the most distinctive and architecturally significant buildings on the Houston skyline constructed during the energy and real estate boom of the 1970s and 1980s.
TC Energy Center, Louisiana Street, Houston, TX Built in 1982-1983, this Postmodern-style skyscraper was designed by Philip Johnson and John Burgee to serve as a commercial office building, and has been known throughout its history as the RepublicBank Center, NCNB Center, NationsBank Center, and Bank of America Center. The building stands 56 stories and 780 feet (240 meters) tall, and features a distinctive roofline with three stepped gables of varying heights, dividing the building’s massing visually into three distinct sections, a red granite-clad exterior, a rear gabled atrium wing with a glass roof, and entrance bays with arched transoms, with the building’s features being informed by the appearance of historic skyscrapers. The building stands across the street from another Johnson and Burgee design, Pennzoil Place, which was built in 1976. TC Energy Center is one of the most distinctive and architecturally significant buildings on the Houston skyline constructed during the energy and real estate boom of the 1970s and 1980s.
