Sam White Oldsmobile Tom Gray Datsun/Nissan on the Katy Freeway and "West Belt"

Wow...this brings back memories. My folks were involved in a partnership back in the late 60's/early 70's that owned this property, actually twice. I remember as a youngster going out there to the "country." Highway 6 was 2 lanes and there wasn't anything on the road except for a "convenience" store and volunteer fire department on the west side of 6 close to where a pawn shop now sits. We got to the home off 6 on a long winding gravel road through a bunch of Post Oak trees. There was a large house that sat on the property, but I don't remember it being the one in the previous pictures. It was more like a New England style home. There was a swimming pool and some type of horse barn just south of the home. The partnership sold the property to Laurence Marcus (of Neiman Marcus fame) and he started a polo farm on it. He built a very nice polo field on the North side of the property. He evidently had some financial problems and the partnership was able to repurchase the property a couple years later for the same price that it was sold to Mr. Marcus previously. We enjoyed the property for another couple of years and then sold it again.
