I have two excellent locations for a Houston history museum: the original Rufus Cage Elementary and the original Brookline Elementary, both on Telephone Road. HISD is happily letting them rot away.
Buff stadium was located on Saint Barnard ( now Cullen ) where the Fingers warehouse was located. The Houston Buffalo's was the farm team for the St. Louis Cardinals. I believe Dizzy Dean played his early days there.
The Buffalos Stadium was at the site of Finger's Furniture on I-45 South. Walking into the store's foyer there was a home plate on the floor. Positioned in the exact location.
This is what you call human error. There was a African American High School in Austin Texas in the 1950s had trophies from football winnings and all type of awards and pictures enough to fill a 18 wheeler, when the state of whom ever make those decision to stop by to re model the school someone made the decision to through all the pictures away then there was a phone call to a lady a statue and when she found out about it she immediately went Renee rental truck and began to get the truck loaded with all the African American Awards. If it had not been for this lady we never would have gotten a chance to see all the beautiful documentation from Anderson High School in Austin Texas. Hats off to this lady. So yes it's a human error and it's all about money and the title of it is who cares. Hats off to the gentleman and his father for going the extra mile to save all history it is priceless. And it's funny how now all of a sudden people think it was a great thing when back in the day the pictures were trash. Congratulations to this family and the families who went the extra mile to say beautiful history
I don’t think that picture behind the Astrodome is Buff stadium. That stadium was on the Gulf freeway where Fingers furniture sat for years. That small stadium was Colt Stadium. Went there with hundreds of little leaguers and watch Don Dryrdale pitch in our hot cotton uniforms
