Franklin Lofts

Franklin Lofts, originally known as the Lomas & Nettleton Building, is an 8-story, building in downtown Houston, Texas. The building is generally regarded as the first skyscraper in the city. The Lomas & Nettleton Building was completed in 1904, and rises 8 floors in height. A new addition was completed in 1925. It was also the tallest steel-framed building west of the Mississippi River at the time of its completion.
The Lomas & Nettleton Company was originally housed in the building, but it was converted to residential lofts and renamed in 1999.
