I want to thank Julius Baumann and Randy Kozlovsky (DHS '67) for the following photos, which shows recent demolition in old Sugar Land. The Post Office building, which opened on Brooks St. in 1967 has been razed, and the municipal admin building and adjacent fire station at Guenther and Matlage Way are gone, too.
The first is an aerial Randy took from nearly the same location as the iconic 1956 photo, which I've included immediately below. The next photo shows the area in 1970.

Notice the demolition of municipal buildings on the southwest corner of Guenther & Matlage Way. Also notice the demolition of the old Post Office on the southeast corner of Brooks St. & Highway 90A. |

Julius Baumann provided the ground-level photos of the demolition on the southwest corner of Guenther and Matlage Way. That building served as a municipal administrative building for many years.
