Woolco #6114 was a Woolco discount department store located at Woolco Shopping Center, 8130 Long Point Road in Houston, Texas.[1] The store opened on October 15, 1969,[2] and was abruptly closed around April 1979, after a tectonic fault line caused a major diagonal crack in the foundation and roof of the building.[3] The building was torn down for Long Point Square Shopping Center.
