The new owners of the Heights building at the corner of 19th St. and Ashland that for 61 years housed the Harold’s in the Heights men’s clothing store have wasted no time in advertising the modern structure for lease or “redevelopment.” The Chronicle‘s David Kaplan reports that a partnership led by local development firm Braun Enterprises bought the property from the family of Harold Wiesenthal last week; a flyer for the 13,600-sq.-ft. property, which comes with a parking lot in back, hawks restaurant or retail space in chunks as small as 1,750 sq. ft. The glass-front building includes a 3,000-sq.-ft. second-story office space. Harold’s closed its doors for good in August.

It would be nice to see a restaurant take that location. The parking in the back should be plenty.
The hood has come a long way from the days when Harold would work the tables at the Ashland House or Carter and Cooley’s introducing himself as, “Hi, I’m Harold!”
Someone named Harold needs to step up and open a bar/restaurant here, awesome sign already complete.
Trader Joe’s?
Totally agree that a resto called “Harold’s” with a 50’s feel would be wonderful. I’ve got about $37.24 in savings to put up. Who’s ready to go in with me?
I’m looking forward to shopping at the CVS that will soon be in that location!
Good location for a Chase bank branch.
What’s anyone’s guess on asbestos in the building?
Maybe it could be sub-divided and we could fill it with a nail salon, cell phone store, and a check cashing place. Houston doesn’t seem to have enough of those!
Hey, Textile was looking for a larger place! Get it! I’m Punny! Exclamation Point! HA!
