Here is the Sears in Midtown Houston which recently celebrated their 75th anniversary. The store is located a few miles south of downtown Houston. This area of Houston is undergoing a transformation and many new developments have caused the land value to skyrocket. The store continues to stay busy and is in a prime location.
The store as viewed from the US 59 and Fannin exit ramp. The store was designed to stand out and still does.
Now we go to the inside of the store on the basement level.
Electronics, Appliances, Tools, Fitness, Mattresses, Vacuums, Small Appliances, Furniture, Lawn and Garden and Seasonal departments are located on this level.

The power shop sign could use some help. Many of the tools are locked up in glass cases at this location.
Now up to the 2nd floor or 3rd floor.
Children's, Lingerie, Home Goods, Bath, and As Seen on TV are on this level. You can see some of the old Sears wall coverings partially covered. I wonder what this corner of the store was originally, maybe a restaurant.

Now for the 1st or 2nd floor of the store.

The empty video game case in the electronics department just before it was removed.
This corner of the electronics department now features mattresses due to the continued shrinkage of all Sears electronics departments.
Here is how the store looks at night.
