Scanlan Building, Historic office building in Downtown Houston, United States
The Scanlan Building at 405 Main Street rises eleven stories with a facade made of white terra-cotta and glazed brick materials.
Seven daughters commissioned this building in 1909 as a memorial to their father, Thomas Howe Scanlan, who served twice as Houston's mayor.
The structure represents the Chicago School architectural style through its steel-frame construction, large windows, and elegant facade detailing.
The building contains 76,403 square feet of office space with consistent floor plans featuring working areas along both sides of hallways.
The proceeds generated from this commercial property support charitable organizations through the Scanlan Foundation, established in 1947.
