Something Old - Something New

Between something old and something new, I'll take this something old any day of the week.

 

The something old: the old JP Morgan Chase building. The JPMorgan Chase Building, formerly the Gulf Building, is a 37-story 130 m (430 ft) Art Deco skyscraper in downtown Houston, Texas. Completed in 1929, it remained the tallest building in Houston until 1963, when the Exxon Building surpassed it in height. The building is the Houston headquarters of JPMorgan Chase Bank.

 

The Something New: 811 Main Street BG Group Place (formerly MainPlace) is a 630 ft (192m) tall skyscraper in Downtown Houston, Texas. It was completed in February 2011 and has 46 floors. It is LEED Platinum Certified. When it was completed, BG Group Place became the 15th tallest building in Houston and features a skygarden on the 39th floor.
