Nightclub in former downtown Houston church opens ahead of Super Bowl
Quote:
A downtown building has completed its church-to-club transition.
The Clé Group opened Spire, at 1720 Main St., in the former First Church of Christ Scientist building on Jan. 15, according to Spire's Facebook page. The group also operates nearby sister club Clé.
Spire started its dogma-to-dance transition this past summer. Owner Zack Truesdell worked with partners Andy Estes, Salim Dehkordi and Dallas Rodriguez, to open the mostly electronic club. The 15,625-square-foot site was listed for $2.25 million and sold to undisclosed owners in early 2016.
The First Church of Christ Scientist had owned the land since 1908 and redeveloped the building in 1961 to replace an older chapel. But congregation numbers at the church had been dropping.
