    According to my 83 year old mother, it was on Montrose Blvd.

    I absoluteled LOVED Westbury Square in the early to mid seventies. There was a place where you could get a cheese and fruit tray, and another place that sold "natural" makeup and perfume. I remember (I think) the candle shop and the glass blowing place. I went there with my boyfriend and other friends - even took my Mom once, I was so impressed with it! Miss it!

    Well, I wasn't the one in it, and it was/is a beautiful structure.

    Still doing EXTENSIVE research. It could possible have been the Link-Lee Mansion that houses the University of St. Thomas. Does anyone know about that structure?

    Well, I Googled it again to see what I'd get, and I got very little...just parts of some CV's where people had worked there. I must admit that I am very disappointed. This was a beautiful mansion, and I was sure that someone, somewhere would remember it. The staircase had the original red carpet on it and was blocked off. You had to use the elevator to get upstairs. Does anyone know how I can find any information on it? I'd be happy to dig online or in person. I'd like to see pictures if any existed. Thanks for your help. Its a memory of my childhood that I just want to see again.

    I know that it was converted from a mansion and was in Montrose. My Aunt was a visitor there many times. I absolutely LOVED the antebellum stair case. Surely someone else remembers this. IF not, I will feel older than my 50 years! Lifetime Houstonian!

    I lived in Park Place for 26 years. Went to Houston Christian School, Park Place Elementary, Deady Jr. High, Milby Sr. High and U of H. Boy - Glenbrook pool brings back memories. That high tower was/is HIGH!

    Could it be Christie's? It was a fancy seafood restaurant in the Medical Center area. I'll try to think of some more. Kapahan's wasn't quite there, but it definitely was FANCY.

    What about these? Cellar Door (now Goode Co) Velvet Turtle (my favorite - saw it mentioned, but thought of it again) Farrell's Shoney's Don's Seafood Alfred's (mentioned but LOVED) Hillmans (Kemah) Hill's Seafood (Galveston) And a question - started University of Houston in 1973. There was a burger place across the street from the main campus that you would place your order by phone and they brought it to you. The little character looked a lot like the guy on the Pringle's can. And a second question - does anyone but me remember the bowling alley and other things on the third floor of the original Galleria? Does that club on the top floor of the oldest hotel still exist? They made Hurricanes that would knock out a prize fighter!
