West End Park (Houston, Texas)

West End Park was a ballpark located in Houston, TX and home to the Houston Buffaloes from 1907 to 1927. [1] The park was built in 1905, [2] and lasted until the more modern Buffalo Stadium opened in 1928. West End Park was located at 601 Andrews St. on the southeast corner of Andrews and Heiner streets. It was bounded by Andrews (third base line), Heiner (first base line), and Howe streets (left field fence). [3]

Prior to 1905, the Buffaloes played at "Houston Base Ball Park", or simply "Base Ball Park", an unfenced field at the (then) southern terminus of Travis Street at its intersection with McGowen Street. That site was part of the former Fairgrounds where Texas State Fairs were held in the 1870s.
