Houston Cotton Exchange Building, Renaissance Revival commercial building in Downtown Houston, United States.

The four-story Cotton Exchange Building features polychrome terra cotta facades, large arched windows, and ornate cornices at 202 Travis Street.

Constructed in 1884 by architect Eugene T. Heiner, the structure served as the central hub for cotton trading until 1924.

The building represents the economic growth of Houston through its cotton industry, which influenced the development of regional commerce.

The structure maintains its original architectural elements following a complete restoration in 1973, earning recognition from Preservation Houston.

The building incorporates elements from two distinct architectural periods, as the fourth floor addition in 1907 modified its original design.
