Prudential / Houston Main Building
by arch-ivist on , under 1950s, 77030, Kenneth Franzheim, commercial, endangered
1100 Holcombe Blvd.
 |

The University of Texas / M.D. Anderson Cancer Center has owned and occupied the Prudential Insurance Co. building since 1975 and has plans to demolish it to make way for another building on the same site. Claiming it is a “sick” building, all fingers point to the current owners for this problem - either it is a lie or they are responsible for negligence and deferred maintenance of the 55 year-old building.
The facade is made of Texas limestone and granite and the front fountain, pool, and sculpture - Wave of Life - was designed by artist Wheeler Williams.
