Untitled Art Gallery. The AT&T bldg. Very interesting view of 3rd..the potential of the urban blocks up against the tracks, the void between Broadway and Oklahoma.. we’ve already seen 9th Street come to life.
THAT looks like the view out my front door (minus the cars). Although we can’t see it in this photo, I assume Ruedy’s was there, although probably under a different name.
Pioneer Telephone (top center) though I guess it is now part of the AT&T complex.
More interesting is to checkout the buildings that are no longer there thanks to IM Pei and EK Gaylord Blvd. The brick buildings north and south of 3rd just west of the tracks.
I would never be able to name the buildings still standing. But I do know which ones they are. I know 3 of the buildings in this shot are still standing. I can’t say the same for the building to the left though.
