My dad and I used to get haircuts on Saturdays at the Shamrock. They had a barber shop somewhere on the ground floor. The lobby of that thing was like being on the Queen Mary -- a landlocked oceanliner. It was amazing!
As a senior in high school I worked for Al’s Formal Wear. I got to help out with a fashion show at the Shamrock Hotel. I have wonderful memories of that day at the Shamrock.
it is sad what houston has turned into now... my dad tells me about these places... i live minutes from where these used to stand...i swear there is nothing at holcombe and main now
Fan002, who are you?! If you are still alive, please respond! I am Glenn McCarthy's great great great niece! I'm so glad I see someone online that might have connections to me! -Signed, Violet McCarthy
@@Professional_DumbassViolet, please reach out to me. I am the great granddaughter of the entertainment coordinator at the shamrock. I’ve got hundreds of photos and documents from this giant! I would love to share some history
Another thing I dislike about Houston! They tend to destroy all the beautiful old landmarks like this gem! Now they have multiple ugly trendy apt complexes! Yuck! (Bye I was born there, got out as quick as I could)
B L: True enough and the Astrodome is next. County Judge Hidalgo says spending money on it is a low priority. She says though, that she plans to use property tax money to set up free immigration lawyers for individuals who are here illegally. Is it racist now to want our laws to mean something?
My prom was there in 1981...glad to have that memory.

Chris Craft Agreed. Still fighting for the Astrodome & Farmer's Market on Airline Drive?...Gone😡
Chris Craft what is houston becoming
Downtown was full of People walking
Sad but Houston is great now
Went to the shamrock movies
Only in Houston would we demolish the best of our heritage like this.
So upsetting.
The lack of value placed on these historical buildings here in my home town is disgraceful. We have suffered an irretrievable loss!
Yup😢
Loved that place, so sad it had to go
Was film GIANT filmed in here?
His son from a previous marriage played uncle Gibbs on the Rifleman. Anyone doubt me. I’ll give you my number and show the photos.
Shamrock inn bar is still open decorated with material from the shamrock
He is my grandmother’s last husband. He changed his name to John Snider and hid out in Carbon Texas
Nothing last forever.
Das my great great grandfather
