Gillman Pontiac (now Gillman Honda) in 1965 - currently the Houston Press Building at 1621 Milam. Crazy to think that GTOs and Bonnevilles were sold in the lobby.

Baytown’s Big Oak Tree
Located on Texas avenue and seen here in the 1930s, it is one of Baytown’s oldest natural landmarks. Saved from the ax by Ross S. Sterling himself in 1919, when it was threatened by a new road. He proclaimed, “It required many years for nature to produce such a beautiful thing like that and we must save it.” Price Pruett, who owned that land where the tree stood, made an agreement with the Harris County Commissioner that the tree would be allowed to stand until it died of natural causes.
