Franklin Lofts, originally known as the Lomas & Nettleton Building, is an 8-story, 32 m (105 ft) building in downtown Houston, Texas. The building is generally regarded as the first skyscraper in the city.[4] The Lomas & Nettleton Building was completed in 1904, and rises 8 floors in height.[5] A new addition was completed in 1925.[6] It was also the tallest steel-framed building west of the Mississippi River at the time of its completion.[7][8]
The Lomas & Nettleton Company was originally housed in the building, but it was converted to residential lofts and renamed in 1999.[4]
Zoned schools
Franklin Lofts is within the Houston Independent School District. As of 2015 the building is assigned to Gregory Lincoln Education Center (Grades K-8),[9] and Davis High School.[10]
Residents were previously zoned to Bruce Elementary School,[11] and E. O. Smith Education Center (for middle school).[12]
