This finely detailed commercial building is typical of retail development in Houston's residential neighborhoods in the 1920s and 1930s. The use of Egyptian winged solar disks as decorative elements is characteristic of the incorporation of exotic motifs in Art Deco design. In 1936, Minimax moved its Westheimer store to the new Tower Community Center.
