The Ship Ahoy – Houston

1007-09 Main St., 6638 S. Main St. – Houston TX (both demolished)

 

The 1007-09 Main St. location was originally The Hollywood Grill (seen here at Houston Deco), in 1935 the Ship-a-Hoy Restaurant, and finally Normandie Restaurant before the First City National Bank Building was built in its place. Ship Ahoy moved from its downtown location to 6638 Main St. – by the early 1960s it became The Galley Restaurant, then by the mid-1970s, Cathay House Restaurant.
