Description
"Skyscraper" is what this building used to be called back in 1931 when it was built by Fred Stone and A. Babin. The fourteen-story building features art deco styling, and characteristic of this style, the landmark exhibits bold colors and heavy ornamentation.
Having left Northwest Houston at 4:20 AM to reach New Orleans in time for the afternoon, I approached Beaumont on Interstate 10 at approximately 5:50 AM. Noticing the tall building sticking from the flat floor from the freeway, I decided to get into town and try to shoot it. I love it when I have a trip well planned out and all of the sudden these unexpected things come my way! I hope you enjoy it, thanks for looking.
