Styled in a modified New Orleans type of architecture, the Cravens, Dargan building at 1903 Hermann Drive in Houston complements its beautifully wooded surroundings on the northern edge of Hermann Park. Completed in late 1950, the building, which contains three full working floors, is air-conditioned throughout and boasts what has been considered the finest lighting system of any insurance building in the United States. A company subsidized cafeteria, lounges, outdoor recreation area and ample parking facilities have been provided for the convenience of employees.
