    3 Allen Center Gallery


    Comment on Facebook

    Allen Center was created in the early 1970s, when international-style suburban office parks were all the rage among urban designers. A grassy courtyard is surrounded by glass lobbies full of interesting things. One Allen Center and Two Allen Center were built to be almost identical. The aluminum-clad Three Allen Center and the glass-box Doubletree Hotel completed the main campus of the office park. The Enron Building, separated from the other four buildings, was first named Four Allen Center but really didn’t fit into the concept and is now known simply as 1400 Smith. A network of glass skywalks connects the lobbies of the three office towers with the hotel. The second-floor lobbies, wrapping around a grassy courtyard, always seem to have an art show going on. Fountains and sculptures fill the courtyards below, only seeing people on the coolest days. The skywalk between Allen Center and the parking garage is especially worth a walk-through. It gives some really good views of Antioch Baptist Church.
