919 Milam, Office skyscraper in downtown Houston, United States
The 24-story building at 919 Milam spans an entire block between McKinney, Travis, and Walker streets, containing 542,919 square feet of office space.
Kenneth Franzheim designed this 1956 structure as the first Houston building with an aluminum curtain wall, setting new standards for commercial architecture.
The original lobby featured a mural titled America by artist Rufino Tamayo, reflecting the intersection of commerce and art in post-war Houston.
The building connects to Houston's underground pedestrian tunnel system, providing direct access to nearby office complexes, hotels, and retail establishments.
The structure underwent a transformation in the 1990s, reducing its total area from 735,000 to 543,000 square feet while modernizing its systems.
