By Elmer J. Edwards Jr., in August 1939. This aerial view of Houston, taken at a point almost directly above the Grand Central Station of the Southern Pacific Railroad, looks in a southeasterly direction towards McGregor Park and Howard Hughes Municipal Airport. In the foreground is Sam Houston Hall, site of the 1928 Democratic National Convention, and on the left edge may be seen the old Union Station. Directly in the center is the 40-story Gulf Building, Texas' tallest, while to the right of it is the new Chamber of Commerce Building, and the two Esperson Buildings. At the right edge is the Humble Building. Near Texas' birthplace of freedom at San Jacinto, on April 21, 1836, Houston's population today approaches the half-million mark, and its ship channel industrial area is the greatest in the southwest.
