  Portions of the 1902 Willow Street Pump Station and adjacent 1915 City Incinerator were on the verge of collapse when the Workshop for Historic Architecture at the University of Houston College of Architecture and the Engineers Council of Greater Houston adopted the site as a project. Today, the Romanesque Revival style structures at the confluence of White Oak and Buffalo bayous have been preserved as a community conference and exhibition facility and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Gensler was the project architect. | Visit UH-Downtown's Web site Next winner: Hotel Icon Photo courtesy of Gensler |
