Somewhat outside of the scope of this blog, but an impressive Southern building, this is a building at Lamar State College in Port Arthur, Texas

John Fett Building, Port Arthur Texas

Abandoned building, Port Arthur Texas

I don't know what this building was, but it must have been a good looking building in its day.

Downtown Port Arthur is undergoing a much needed renovation. It's a bit of a mess right now, but it's being worked on.

Hotel Sabine, Port Arthur Texas

These photos depict the Hotel Sabine in Port Arthur, Texas. The hotel is an abandoned ruin and has been for decades.

It's a ten story building, built in 1930.

Refinery Tanks, Harris County Texas

These are refinery tanks located quite near the San Jacinto Battleground.   The refinery has painted some tanks with scenes commemorating the battle, a couple of which are depicted here. As these were taken from a moving car, they aren't the best photographs in the world.

Bank of America Center, Houston Texas

I hardly know what to make of this structure, which is somewhat out of place on this blog.  In taking this photograph, I actually wondered if the lower part of this very large building was a church.  It isn't, its the Bank of America Center.
