Stowers Building, Historic commercial building in Downtown Houston, United States.
The ten-story Stowers Building at 820 Fannin Street features rectangular facades and white glazed bricks, with pilasters creating vertical bay structures.
George Arthur Stowers constructed this building in 1913 after his previous furniture store on Main Street was destroyed by fire.
The building represents the early skyscraper development period in Houston, designed by local architects Green & Finger with Chicago style influences.
Following a 13 million dollar renovation, the building now houses retail spaces on lower floors and office condominiums on upper levels.
The structure stands as one of only two historic buildings in the southwestern United States that incorporate white glazed bricks in their design.
