Our History

The 1920s were roaring and oil was booming when Humble Oil founder Ross Sterling erected a 22-story building to house the offices of his newspaper, the Houston Post-Dispatch and the KRPC radio station. The year was 1926, former Governor William P. Hobby had been named the paper’s president, and Post-Dispatch skyscraper was the tallest in Houston. Today, this iconic Houston landmark is reborn as the 314-room Magnolia Houston, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel—a modern classic refitted with 21st-century comforts and historic detail reminiscent of the building’s origins in the prosperity of the Jazz Age.
