This house was built for another member of the Woods family and was recently purchased by an owner that is interested in preserving it. The house in Bellville that looks very similar is now for sale. It was built for E.W. "Boots" Cristen, one of Vale's clients: http://search.har.co..._HAR2967184.htm

Probably the early 1950's. Not before the de Menil House.

There's an article in the new CITE magazine about this house by Ben Koush with photos by Paul Hester.

The Chronicle is reporting that John O'Quinn, former owner of the Carousel House, was killed this morning in a car accident: What happens to his estate and car collection? I’d imagine his mansion in River Oaks is with worth millions. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/6692411.html

Short House - Original owner unknown - Brookshire,TX This house bears a closer resemblance to Vale's own house than any other I've seen to date. It's from the early 1950's and was recently for sale. There is another like this in Bellville,TX.

This house was actually built for Thomas P. Hull. The Plummer house was demolished years ago. Sorry about that.
-
Do you remember any other details about the interior?

I vote for the Menil House and the last shot in the post.
-
I drive by this house nearly everyday on my way to work. It looks beautiful and contrasts nicely with the rest of the neighborhood.
-
I seem to remember hearing that the house at 118 Hickory Ridge had some custom furniture, but I don't know if Vale designed any of it. His wife was an interior designer, so it's possible.
-
A very cool house. Good to know who the designer was. I've always wondered...
-
This house was actually the home of architect Harry Turner. There is a MacKie & Kamrath house on Timber Terrace, along with a Wylie Vale design that is a more traditional ranch style.

Trust me, you're not the only one.

De Menil house - One of the first MCM houses in Houston, and one of the most influential. It seems like the trend here is leaning towards the more artistic side, so this one is in infrared.
-
Yeah, we're working on it.
-
The only thing I would like to see improved would be being more timely. I understand why we got going late, but it meant we had to miss a stop.

This is a particularly special house. The current owners were on the Jenkins tour this weekend and sent Houston Mod copies of some of the drawings this morning. House was originally built in 1958 for Morris Stern. Rendering: Plan: Vale's Logo: It is similar to the Bridge House in New Canaan,CT by John Johansen or 330 Elektra by William Norman Floyd. No pictures just yet, but a great and unexpected find.

5026 N. Braeswood - Morris Stern House - 1959. This is a flat-roofed, modern house with barrel vaults in the roof. I met the owners today on the Jenkins tour, and they have the original drawings with Vale's name on them. It is similar to the Bridge House in New Canaan,CT by John Johansen or 330 Elektra by William Norman Floyd. No pictures just yet, but a great and unexpected find.

Yes and yes.
