The Magnolia Hotel, formerly the Houston Post-Dispatch Building, located at 609 Fannin in Houston, Texas, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 14, 2002.[2]
History
The 22-story skyscraper was built by oil magnate Ross S. Sterling for his newspaper the Houston Post, at the corner of Texas and Fannin streets in 1926. At the time, it was one of the city's tallest skyscrapers.[3] The newspaper's printing presses were visible through the windows, and the broadcast antenna for radio station KPR was located on the building's roof.[3]
During the 1960s and 1970s, many details of the facade were removed.[3] The building was restored to its previous appearance on the outside, with a modern interior, by Denver-based architect Guy Thornton.[3] It opened in 2003 as the Magnolia Hotel.[3]
