This building was originally built as a temporary switching station for Southwestern Bell, and was only meant to last around five years. It featured bays that could be easliy removed if expansion was needed. It later was owned by the Uniroyal Tire company, which is why it currently sports a dark paintjob on it`s upper half. This was one of Herb Greene`s first projects after his arrivlal in Houston and Joseph Krakower`s office.
