Houston Post-Dispatch Building
Houston Post-Dispatch Building, Neoclassical office building in downtown Houston, United States.
The 22-story Houston Post-Dispatch Building at 609 Fannin Street exhibits a three-part vertical block structure with classical architectural elements.
Ross S. Sterling, an oil magnate, constructed this building in 1926 to house his newspaper operations, making it one of Houston's tallest structures at that time.
The building's printing presses were visible through windows, allowing passersby to observe newspaper production processes that shaped local media communication.
The structure underwent extensive restoration in 2003, transforming into the Magnolia Hotel while maintaining its architectural heritage status.
The rooftop once supported radio station KPR's broadcast antenna, combining print and radio media functions within the same building.
