Today In Enron History

March 31, 2003, Enron’s lease on the towers at 1400 Smith Street expired. The company, which by this time was basically Enron Creditors Recovery Corp though it had not officially changed its name, moved from the beautiful towers to a dull brown office building called Four Houston Center which houses many law firms. The interior of the new building is pleasant enough, with cream marble floors and gilt elevators. But it’s not sexy. It’s just an office building.

    It’s at 1400 Smith Street in downtown Houston. It was designed by Cesare Pelli. It’s fifty stories tall. There are four elevator banks. The flooring in the lobby is cream-colored marble. The interior floors are cream-colored carpet; they are lined with recessed lighting.

    There are about eight thousand details that would fit under this question. Is there anything specific you would like to know?
