The Magnolia Hotel Houston is a hotel located at 1100 Texas Avenue, in downtown Houston, Texas. It was built in 1926 as the Houston Post-Dispatch Building, home of the Houston Post-Dispatch newspaper, and until the following year was the tallest building in Houston. It was renamed the Shell Building in 1932, when it became a regional operations headquarters of the Shell Petroleum Corporation (a predecessor of the Shell Oil Company).[3]
