Posted by BlackLakeArchives Thank you all, luckily we didn’t receive a ticket (probably cause it had a lot to do with us getting caught in the lobby instead of the tower) 😂 but yes dee, you’re absolutely right stuff around this area is definitely getting more and more scarce... that house still standing is a modern miracle; but I do highly suggest you explore it before Mckinney removes it... lots of cool old stuff scattered throughout... as far as the “signs” or certain equipment on property I can safely say it’s untrue.. also haywire I’m always down to explore... today I’m making my way to Galveston island and hopefully getting some explorations out of the way... I was going to try to check out the brewery but last time I went which was about a year or so ago it was being renovated so I wasn’t able to access it at the time... but I will definitely ask the locals and see if they have any leads.. or more than likely google sat around. |
Posted by Dee Ashley Ditto what he said ^^^^^ I'm curious about the current status of that brewery too! |

Posted by Explorer Zero Thats no lie, Had to bail out twice 18 19 years ago due to noisy kids and some ghost busters shining flashlights around. then me and Barry tried again in like 2005 and same thing happened. Well now its all fenced off and theyre taking all the glass out of the upper floor windows, nobody getting in now nothing to see here is it going to be partial demo / half an implosion upstairs? |
Posted by Dee Ashley I haven’t heard anything about an implosion, but they do have security cameras (that actually work) now and they will arrest you if they catch you. They will also look for you after the fact if they don’t catch you in the act, so I’d suggest avoiding the Baker. It’s gutted now anyways. |

Posted by Explorer Zero Cant recall where I heard this but 'sposedly they were going to remove the top floors leaving a 6 or 8 story building, didnt give it much credence seems like more trouble than its worth but I also didnt believe somebody would buy it and do stuff to it! |
Posted by grp420 I personally haven't heard anything about removing the upper levels, but the new owners have an Instagram page @thebakerhotelandspa, and they are very transparent with future plans and construction updates. They've released floor plans for every level up to the 12th, and the uppermost floors being mostly machinery it sounds like they will utilize the building to its full capacity. |
Posted by Dee Ashley I drove past the Baker a month or two ago and they are renovating all the floors. The new windows are going all the way up to the cloud room - which they also have special plans for, at least that's what I read on their blog. I think it's safe to say no upper level implosion is happening, which is a good thing, IMO. |
