NenaE Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I LIKE it, a LOT.. The front has some very nice details not seen in these recent photos. In it's heyday, I bet it was amazing. I wish I could have seen it when it was first built. The landscape plants and lighting are still there. The enormous amount of neglect is undeniable. I find it vey intriguing, like time has stood still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenH Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Yeah, I like it too. Jason and I have a standing agreement that whomever wins the lottery first, knocks on the door everyday until someone answers. We simply ask "How much will it take for you to sell this place to me and have all of your stuff out within a month?". Then hire Stern & Bucek or someone like that to completely restore and update it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As deplorable as the interior furnishings seem to be, they are more than likely original to the home. Custom draperies, period chairs, etc. I'd be taking notes, photos, samples if I could. It's not every day that you get to see what looks like an original interior, untouched by a re-muddler. Their stuff might include blueprints.

marmer Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Jason and Ben already know this, but I was recently contacted by a brother and sister in Lake Jackson whose parents had a Jenkins house from 1959. It's still in the family, still in good shape, and mostly original inside. It's not strongly modern and might not be noticed as a Jenkins-style house at first look, but we can another one to the list. Interestingly enough, the plans say something like "Residence No. 817." Wonder if he actually did eight hundred houses? Or even eight hundred projects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Weisinger Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Do you have details on the David Parker House? My father designed and built 2 houses for the other Parkers near here during the 60s and 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
