See Interesting Places (SIP) Visits Houston Historic Landmark

Tour one of Houston's Historic Buildings
Join The Heritage Society for a private after-hours SIP reception at the serene 1956 MacKie & Kamrath designed building in Pine Valley. Formerly known as the Farnsworth & Chambers Building, learn about one of Houston's most architecturally and historically significant buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Bearing jaunty angles and sleek lines, this historic Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired masterpiece features a lavish interior courtyard and intriguing green stonework that's sure to captivate one and all.

Perspective drawing by architectural firm MacKie & Kamrath shows the vast horizontal planes and the natural materials that evoke Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural principles.
