ExxonMobil “White House” Implosion

After decades as a Baytown landmark and the city’s tallest building, the 10-story ExxonMobil office tower—fondly known to locals as the “White House”—is set to be brought down by controlled implosion next month.

Located at 2800 Decker Drive, the building’s demolition marks the end of an era. But before that happens, ExxonMobil is offering a unique opportunity: the chance to symbolically push the button!

This one-of-a-kind auction will take place this Saturday, May 10, during the Rotary Club’s Shrimp & Catfish Festival from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. 

Don’t miss your shot at a piece of Baytown history.
