Fisk Electric Leaves Washington Corridor Corner

A few doors down from Wabash Antiques & Feed Store and El Tiempo Cantina on Washington Ave., this building at 111 T.C. Jester had been home for many years to Fisk, one of the largest electrical contractors in the U.S. But a Swamplot reader has noticed that the building seems to be vacated. Fisk, acquired in 2011 by California-based general contractor Tutor Perini, wouldn’t tell Swamplot when or why or where it moved, though its website indicates that headquarters have been relocated out near Beltway 8 at 10855 Westview.

    I heard a rumor that they want to lease the building out for a few years prior to a re-dev.

    This could be a good place for Historic Houston, and their salvage.

    From miss_msry:

    No loss if they tear down this eyesore, but knowing Houston developers they likely will put something equally bad.

    Was there not a plan by the Washington Blvd Community to incorporate a green space “Community Park” in the Fisk lot across the street.
