The Alico Center had its groundbreaking in December of 1964, and was completed in the spring of 1966. The Alico Center was “described as a downtown motor hotel [later becoming part of the Hilton Hotel franchise] with convention facilities, a motor bank and a five-story parking garage.” An expansion of the main building’s existing National City Bank was also included. Part of the Hilton Inn is seen here on Austin Avenue. The structure was adjoined to the 22 story Alico Building. This image, taken in October 1986, shows Austin Avenue returning to two-way traffic, after its transition from several years from being a one way street. Part of Austin Avenue had been a pedestrian mall and in this year, the entire road reopened to vehicular traffic. At the time this photograph was taken, the Alico Center housed the Brazos Inn.
