Small photo pack containing 10 black and white photos, 2.5 X 3.5 inches each, of the interior and exterior of the Universal Terminal Warehouse Co. building in Houston, Texas, circa 1920s. The building was originally known as the Butler Brothers Building in 1919, a two-story brick and concrete structure at the corner of Washington Avenue and Elder Street. In 1924, the Universal Terminal Warehouse Company replaced Butler Brothers, who left Houston and managed the building until the 1980s.Two additional stories were added in 1940; these photos show the original two-story building. The City of Houston took over the building in 2009 and completed a renovation in 2011, winning an award from Preservation Houston. The Butler Brothers Building, as it is called today, is home to the Houston Permitting Center and was designated as a Protected Historic Landmark in 2013. The building is historically significant for its architecture and its role in Houston commerce and transportation history during the 20th century. No other copies of this package of photos have been located through OCLC or in the trade. A rare archive of early images of one of Houston's historically preserved buildings. 0
