The Robert E. Lee Apartments

The Robert E. Lee Apartments are located at North Main and Travis Street. It is believed that the Travis Investment Company financed and developed the Robert E. Lee Hotel in 1922, opening for business on May 26, 1923. The architect was Herbert S. Green who designed buildings throughout Southwestern United States and Mexico. Vacant and empty for 15 years prior to renovations, the building was an "attractive nuisance" to the downtown area. A combination of public funds, Low Income Housing Tax Credits and private contributions made this project a success. The Robert E. Lee Apartments are located at North Main and Travis Street.
