With regard to the red brick building , are you talking about the old 420th armory ?

Recently in Bryan, near Travis Field on W Carson St an old red brick building was tore down.. I've often wondered what its purpose was in the past. I never took any pictures of it, but I wish I had. This building being gone forever has made me want to document other such structures around town before they too reach a similar fate.
Gumby's Pizza.. I wonder when this forgotten icon gets remodeled or tore down. I feel like it is hiding in plain site.

BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) - Published: Mar. 25, 2021 A building with lots of history is coming down in Bryan.
Demolition has started at the old Armory Building on West Carson Street. Bryan Texas Utilities is tearing down the old building with plans to build new offices at the site. Eventually they will relocate from Downtown Bryan to this area. BTU expects to have renderings of what their new campus will look like by summer.
Demolition is expected to take two weeks.

I had heard that Whataburger owned that lot and they had planned to rebuild and expand onto this property. No idea if that will ever happen.

Theres an old building that seems to have been abandoned for quite some time at the corner of 21and 2776 in Wixon Valley. Someone crashed into it the other day leaving a massive hole in the side of the bricks.
They also own the first 7 houses along George Bush Dr E that are adjacent t the Whataburger & Gumby's properties.The Ghost of DUCK01 said:
Whataburger owns both the old gas station and Pepe's/Gumby's location. Per CAD, Whataburger is listed for the gas station and actual restaurant, with EJ Tejas listed for Gumby's. If you look at the mailing address of EJ Tejas, it's the same as the two Whataburger sites.

North West corner? If so that's the old JoeDans beer joint
When I moved to CS in 1977, this Pepe's was the first food place I tried. I asked, "what's good here?" "Well, try a crispy taco and a beef burrito." Mmm, went back for 4 more tacos and two more beef burritos.halibut sinclair said:FAT SEXY said:

This cluster of buildings is close to the intersection of Texas Avenue and Hwy 21 in Bryan.. They have been abandoned for some time now. Not sure what purpose they served in the past.
The white building amongst the others was the first one built. Completed in 1935 at a cost of $13,000. 9/7/1935 B/W photo from The Eagle. https://ibb.co/3zKmwcP

Those are state-owned buildings - DPS or TXDOT.
