The Printing Museum in Houston, TX

Renovation work for The Printing Museum at 3121 San Jacinto Street in Houston is documented in the TDLR public record. The project involves an 8,800 sq ft space within the Midtown neighborhood of Harris County. The filing describes the scope as a renovation of the space for a new tenant. The estimated cost for this alteration is $574,720, which calculates to $65 per square foot.

Boniuk Interests LTD is the owner of record for this private project. The work is funded privately on private land for private use. TDLR completed the plan review in March 2022. Construction was scheduled to begin in May 2022 with a completion date listed for September 2022. Since that date has passed, the specific timeline of on-site activity is defined by the original filing rather than updated public milestones.

The TDLR status is Review Complete. However, the agency has not yet recorded a final inspection. This means the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The absence of a final inspection record distinguishes this project from those that have closed their administrative cycle with TDLR. Readers should note that the registration details reflect the planned scope at the time of filing in March 2022.

Third-party sources provide additional context about the location. A post by Glasstire noted that The Printing Museum officially closed and moved out of its location at 3121 San Jacinto in March. Other listings from Yelp and Visit Houston Texas reference the address and provide contact information, though these do not confirm the status of the renovation work described in the TDLR filing. The public record remains the primary source for the construction scope and administrative status.
