The studio location at 900 1/2 Proctor no longer exist.
All that is there now is a vacant lot with two urns on 
the front of the property. A photo of the now will be 
added. However, below is an arial view provided by

of downtown Port Arthur where the Proctor Street studio was


 
The studio location at 2421 Stadium Road, 
is the same address today of the Sherwin 
Williams Paint Store. A photo of today will
be added. In the 1971 phone book the studio
address was here and again in 1975, the 50th
Anniversary Year. In 1978, the studio had a
new address, 2423 Stadium Road which would
be in the back. Information provided by
Harry Fitzner. Thanks Harry!
A tornado spun off from Hurricane Rita
and totally destroyed this location. 
I will add the photo after my honeymoon!

picture of the Rice Hotel as it is now, lofts


This was the Hotel Rice that everyone went to each summer
for Dance Masters Of America Convention. I had heard that 
it was long gone to demolition but on a visit downtown even
without seeing the sign I recognized the hotel and to my 
surprise it was still in existence. Today they are called
"Post Rice Lofts Condominiums" 
The next time I go I am going to go inside and take pictures 
of the lobby and maybe the Grande Ballroom.
