  4201 Main St. (at Wheeler)
endangered
Completed: 1939
Architect: Nimmons, Carr & Wright (Chicago)
In the 1960s, Sears "updated" the store with aluminum siding and bricked the ground-floor display windows. Rice University now owns the property and leases the building to Sears. The store is threatened by the proposed construction of a Metro transit center.
