Fitzgerald's Mini Mural

We can’t go to any live shows right now, but maybe we can remember some. Fitzgerald’s - 42 years of live music - The building was originally built in 1918, as Dom Polski, a Polish center & dance hall, a VERY well built, wood building. That 2nd floor wood floor, held up, (sometimes questionably) to 100 years of good times, dance, music lovers and punk rock. I saw Fitz being demolished last year, the TX music scene & the checkerboard floor turning up from the ground. Thank you minimurals.org / @upartstudio for working behind the scenes this past year, and finally giving me the go ahead to paint it, right on the corner where it once was! — White Oak at Studemont — Houston, TX—

Lightnin Hopkins is said to be the first show. Stevie Ray VaughAn had a weekly gig. Thousands of shows, legendary acts, and local bands, went through Fitz.
