The photo is dated to 1929 but the warehouse is not yet visible in the 1924 Sanborn map.
I attached the clippings below so you can see for yourself.

📆 1929
📍 3205 Harrisburg

This warehouse is still standing today at 3205 Harrisburg, although it looks slightly different.
Most of the glass panes have been filled in with brick and the railroad track you see running alongside the warehouse is also gone.

W. Keating's Pool Parlor [2/2]
Today, the formerly bustling block filled with businesses, lodging, and shops is unrecognizable.
The One Market Square garage occupies half of the block where this pool parlor, and many other businesses, once stood. The other half is now a parking lot.

Houston's Farmer Market on the Bayou [2/2]
The Preston Avenue Farmer's Market was demolished late-1958 in lieu of a flood control project.
This $350,000 (3.5 million today) project included channeling & straightening this section of the bayou in preparation for the extension of Memorial Ave into Texas & Prairie Streets.
Afterwards, the location remained a parking lot until the Wortham Theater Center's opening in 1987.
