The French Quarter Apartments

Newspaper article from 1966, the first time them or that address was mentioned. A short one today. The last time we covered dead apartment complexes was Normandy Square (if you don't count the residences at Texas Oaks), and like Normandy Square, this one is at Northgate, The French Quarter Apartments at 601 Cross Street.

Unfortunately, while I did record some of the basic history elsewhere, noting that in fall 2007 they had become Gleissner Hall Apartments¹ under the ownership of St. Mary's Catholic Church before they were demolished in early 2017 and effectively land-banked for their master plan. It's currently a parking lot.

As it has long since been demolished the best I can really offer is one of its first advertisements as seen above and a link to Google Maps Street View when the apartments were still there.

1. This was from a 2007 (maybe 2008) article from The Battalion entitled "Living by faith" but finding it again has proved to be elusive.
