Address lineage

What was at 1515 Pease Street

One East Downtown building carried two venues in sequence. The Engine Room occupied 1515 Pease Street until it shut in July 2008, announcing the closing on its own MySpace blog and cancelling the dates it had left.Houston Press · setlist.fm

Jet Lounge took over the building the Engine Room had occupied and ran until 2016. Free Press Houston filed a report from its last show in March of that year.Free Press Houston

The archive holds the two as separate venue records sharing one address rather than merging them, because the operators, booking and periods differ.
