W. L. Foley Building, National Register of Historic Places building in Houston, United States.
The W. L. Foley Building at 214-218 Travis Street features traditional commercial architecture with detailed masonry work and symmetrical window arrangements.
Following a fire in 1889, architect Eugene T. Heiner reconstructed the structure, which later earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
The building reflects the commercial development patterns of Houston during the late 19th century through its architectural elements and urban positioning.
Researchers can access historical records about the building through the National Archives, which maintains documentation up to the end of 2012.
The structure underwent two major reconstructions after fires in 1889 and 1989, with the most recent restoration completed by artist Lee Benner in 1994.
