Summary
| Description |
English: The 1928-29 Texas Slate Hotel, one of Houston's early twentieth century skyscrapers, is an example of the Spanish Plateresque style made popular through a major city planning effort that was never fully adopted. The building was designed as the "San Jacinto Hotel" by noted Houston architect Joseph Finger for the Miller Investment Company, but was purchased before completion by prominent businessman and philanthropist Jesse H. Jones. When Jesse Jones purchased the hotel in January of 1929 and although the exterior was complete, the rooms had never been furnished and it is assumed the hotel never opened. The hotel opened as the 'Texas State Hotel" in the spring of 1929. The building is in the National Register of Historic Places with its significance as an important example of the early twentieth century Spanish Plateresque revival style of architecture and as a work of architect Joseph Finger. Serves as the Club Quarters Hotel today (2020)
