The ExxonMobil Building (formerly the Humble Building) was built in 1963 in Houston. At that time it was the tallest building west of the Mississippi River at 606 ft (185 m), surpassing the Southland Center in Dallas (the previous record holder). It remained the tallest building west of the Mississippi only until 1965, when Elm Place was built in Dallas. Currently, the JPMorgan Chase Tower, completed in 1982 is Houston's tallest building, and the tallest building in Texas, at 1,002 ft (305 m). The building is two blocks east of 1500 Louisiana Street; a parking lot is between the two buildings.

  • The ExxonMobil Building (formerly the Humble Building) was built in 1963 in Houston. At that time it was the tallest building west of the Mississippi River at 606 ft (185 m), surpassing the Southland Center in Dallas (the previous record holder). It remained the tallest building west of the Mississippi only until 1965, when Elm Place was built in Dallas. As of 2011, ExxonMobil is the owner of the building. One of the most distinctive features of the building is the cantilevered seven-foot-wide shades (2.1 m) on each floor that protrude from the side of the building to provide shade from the daytime sun. Currently, the JPMorgan Chase Tower, completed in 1982 is Houston's tallest building, and the tallest building in Texas, at 1,002 ft (305 m). The building is two blocks east of 1500 Louisiana Street; a parking lot is between the two buildings. The architect of the International style structure was Welton Becket and Associates. During the Houston Astros' 2004 NLCS run (playoffs), the top of the building was crowned by hundreds of tiny blue lights while an enormous Astros star (logo) made of white lights was hung on the south side of the building. In 2011 the company announced that all employees in the ExxonMobil building are moving to the new ExxonMobil office in Spring. ExxonMobil did not state what it plans to do with the building after the employees leave. In January 2013, Shorenstein Properties announced it had acquired the property for an undisclosed amount. ExxonMobil immediately leased back the entire building into 2015. Shorenstein Properties announced plans to undertake significant improvements following ExxonMobil's departure. In 2015 Mayor of Houston Annise Parker proposed moving municipal court and Houston Police Department operations into the ExxonMobil building. Charles McClelland, the head of HPD, stated that having so many law enforcement and public safety agencies concentrated in a single building may be a safety risk, citing the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. In September 2015 Parker's administration announced that the plan would not move forward due to concerns over costs. (en)
  • Exxon Building – wieżowiec w Houston w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Ma 185 metrów wysokości i 44 piętra. Budowa Exxon Building zakończyła się w 1963 roku, był to wtedy najwyższy budynek w Houston, a także w całym Teksasie. Tytuły te dzierżył do roku 1965, kiedy wybudowano w Dallas . Natomiast w Houston był najwyższy do roku 1971, czyli do momentu wybudowania One Shell Plaza. Wykorzystywany jest w celach biurowych. W 2004 roku, w czasie rozgrywek baseballowych Houston Astros' 2004 NLCS, szczyt wieżowca został oświetlony przez setki malutkich niebieskich światełek, podczas gdy wielkie logo Astros oświetlone na biało zostało zawieszone na południowej ścianie budynku.
