BenH Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 J.W. Evans House - 3118 Georgetown. Any info about Evans would be much appreciated. I've never heard of him or anything about him. A note on another CAA house: Kenneth Bentsen told me that the house at 2933 Del Monte that was on the tour in 1965 was initially a very bland traditional house (his words) in River Oaks, which is exactly why he bought it. He completely redid the interiors in his simple, yet comfortable modernist style and lived there until the 1980's, when Bentsen designed a contemporary house for his family in Glendower Court.

Current house is traditional. HCAD says 1984, but that's just how far their records go back. Burdette Keeland, Pryor Apartment, Kipling Apartments II, 2719 Kipling Street. Pretty sure these are gone. There are townhouses on that address. Robert Wilson, Wilson Apartment, Bettis Apartments, 4311 Bettis Drive. These are still standing, but appear to have been converted into offices/apartments for a religious group.

George Pierce - Abel B. Pierce, Carroll House, 2014 Persa Street (address no longer exists, per HCAD) Swenson & Linnstaedter, Swenson House, 3106 Brazos Street (I believe this was originally a home and studio, but HCAD lists it as a commercial building built in 1950. Must be it).

Hamilton Brown, McClelland House, 11207 Tyne Court (Demolished) William Hoff, Huvard House, 12526 Old Oaks Drive. I read somewhere that this house was by Jenkins & Hoff, but can't remember where. Either way, this house still stands and in good condition. George Pierce - Abel B. Pierce, Zwerneman (Lundgren) House, 16 Crestwood Drive (Additional building by Eugene Aubrey; remodeled by Gwathmey Siegal Assoc., once owned by Francois de Menil and featured in one of Gwathmey Siegal's first books, with photos by Richard Payne). The wild colors have been replaced for white, unfortunately. ***As of 2017, there are still parts of this house standing, but it's certain that the overall intent is no longer intact.*** Tour XI, 28-29 April 1962 Bolton & Barnstone, Owsley House, 65 Briar Hollow Drive. Owned by the Bone family, along with the Carter House at 62 Briar Hollow Lane and another house next door attributed to Ralph Anderson/Wilson, Morris, Crain & Anderson. MacKie & Kamrath, Ballantyne House, 2 Tiel Way (Mostly demolished but apparently going to be rebuilt or something by architect Chris Robertson). Wilson, Morris, Crain & Anderson, Carter House, 62 Briar Hollow Lane Wilson, Morris, Crain & Anderson, Hines House, 146 Radney Street (demolished; photos exist in the original Houston Architecture Guide) Tour XII, 1963 no information Tour XIII, 5-6 December 1964 Howard Barnstone & Partners, Melcher House, 13 Tiel Way. This house is still there but has been significantly altered in a sort of Mediterranean style. H. F. P. Goeters & Associates, Salmon House, 506 Fall River Road (demolished) Jenkins & Hoff, Sheer House, 616 Hedwig Lane (unknown, neighborhood has changed considerably). This one remains one of the bigger mysteries. I'm still not sure what the deal is with this house, whether it's been heavily altered, completely demolished, or is hidden on a wooded lot out of view. Larson & Wingfield, Williams House, 31 Briar Hollow Lane (demolished) F. Carrington Weems, Weems House, 919 Kirby Drive Tour XIV, 30-31 October 1965 Kenneth Bentsen, Bentsen House, 2933 Del Monte Drive (not sure about this one; says constructed in 1935, remodeled in the 2000's, so it must still be there). P. M. Bolton Associates, Bolton House, 5000 Longmont Drive J. W. Evans, Evans House, 3118 Georgetown Street Jenkins & Hoff, Hoff House, 672 Flintdale Road Wilson, Morris, Crain & Anderson, Anderson House, 1638 Banks Street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
