Wallingford

Sounds like the Old Simm's Estate. There's some threads about it. Always looking for some good pictures of it in it's prime. I know they exist, but haven't seen them. http://www.houstonar...t-end-mansions/

Don't know why my picture link went bad... Here's the old picture again. http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx166/CWallingford/Jackson-1.jpg

Regarding the Simms Estate on Wayside drive. I know in the early 1970's it was used as a haunted house for a church group. Large structure with out buildings. The house had an elevator, basement and I think 3 stories. Does anyone have pictures or links to more detail on the home in it's prime? I know at one point it was featured in the Houston Country Club Newsletter, but the links to old issues are no longer active.

I remember the house at the intersection of Wheeler and Telephone Road. In the early 1960's it was open as a Museum that had Oil Industry releated items. We toured it several times as a Cub Scout outing.
