Design and artwork
The McGowen station was designed by local artist Floyd Newsum, as "an interpretation of the look and feel of the physical landscape of Midtown Houston."[3] This includes mosaic-paneled columns, skyline-patterned railings and colored pavement along the platform. Motifs include images from historical Third Ward mansions. The mosaic panels were made by artist Jonathan Brown[4] and NATEX Corporation was the station's architect.[3]
