Steeple-themed nightclub and Swampies also-ran Spire is now up and running in Downtown’s converted First Church of Christ, Scientist at 1720 Main St., following last winter’s covert purchase by the group running Clé bar. The remodeled Mod space officially opened last weekend and is currently advertising upcoming events on a marquee along Jefferson St., including a Playboy-sponsored pre-Super Bowl party (scheduled against the Taylor Swift concert at temporary 3-story nightclub Club Nomadic, among other goings-on). Other upcoming Spire events include this weekend’s Waka Flocka Flame concert and the VS vs Fredericks Lingerie Contest scheduled for next Wednesday. Some promotional photos from the club provide a few views of the former altar (above, with a view of the original for comparison), as well as the added balconies and new seating arrangement possibilities in the main sanctuary: Gallery [Spire Houston] Previously on Swamplot: The ‘Where Are They Now?’ Award: The 2016 Official Ballot; Mod Christian Science Church Now Being Converted To Steeple-Themed Nightclub Downtown; TABC Permit in the Works for the Brutalist Christian Science Church on Main St.; A Closeup of That Downtown Sci-Fi Christian Science Church the AIA Tried to Buy; Golden Spired 1960s Mod Church Awaits Sale Closure and Fate Downtown Images: Spire Houston (first and last); Swamplot inbox (second and third) … Read More
