Two Houston Center is a 579ft (179m) tall skyscraper in Houston, Texas. It was completed in 1974 and has 40 floors. It is the 19th tallest building in the city. It was planned to be the center of a master-planned "city within a city" that would have included a tram system that would have tied in with US-59 and run into the tower itself, and a 4 story 40,000 car parking garage. It currently has 6 levels of parking for 495 cars. Several levels of this building extend across Fannin Street and connect to One Houston Center. They include a x bracing where the tramway would have been and a patio. It sits on top of Houstons 6 mile tunnel system. In July 2007, a fire was set in the northeast corner of the 16th floor.
