The Houston Club Building (photos prior to demolition)

Like the Downtown Foley's building, the Houston Club Building is also slated for demolition. Located between Rusk and Capital Street, the historic structure is part of Houston's Jesse Jones legacy. Following the bankruptcy of the former owner, the property was taken over by Wells Fargo and subsequently bought by Skanska, whose name plate appears at the entrances. The Club is moving to another location. Just last month, the long-vacant former Ben Milam Hotel bit the dust just a few blocks away.

    What's going to happen to the park? And how much of that building is coming down?
