Various locations – Houston TX

1900 Milam is currently the parking lot for the Houston Fire Department’s Super Station 8 but it used to be the site of Rettig’s Ice Cream plant. Rettig’s eventually sold operations to Borden, Inc. Locations of Rettig’s and Borden’s retail “Heap O Cream” confectioneries included 210 Wayside Dr., 2401 Main St., 109 Little York, and 3513 Spencer Highway in Pasadena.

Rettig’s also had a drive in restaurant (now demolished) and the Katharine Mott designed house (also demolished) at 1920 Woodbury St. was the home of founder Penn Rettig.
