River Oaks Shopping Center S. Shepherd at W. Gray year built: 1937 - rebuilt 2008/2009 architect/designer: Nunn & McGinty and Oliver C. Winston location: River Oaks status: Partially demolished

Quite the disappointing rebuild from Weingarten - lack of harmony with the rest of the center (material and color mainly), and its entry in to the book of overused, bland suburban-style strip malls.
