my garage, both house and car built in 1960. my typewriter abandoned building, downtown houston

Recent article on renovations.

It has also been rumored that there is a bowling alley somewhere inside.. I wonder if HoustonMod has caught wind of the possible destruction of this incredible house?

if you walk around back onto the golf course you can get some clear shots as there are not any shrubs there.

I grew up just down the street from his house and as a child I was always facinated by it. It was abandoned all throughout my lifetime yet the house remained kept up (grass mown every week, alarm system active (kids were always breaking in), etc...) One time I even thought I noticed some new, modern AC units appear on the side of the house. Obviously this house was placed in some sort of a trust and was able to be kept up to a certain extent. It sits on the largest lot in the subdivision and really is an expansive house. It always had a really erie feeling though, frozen in time. Funny thing is, I've asked people over the years who were familiar with Quail Valley and no one ever seemed to know what the story was with this house; rumours had always circulated about possible underground bowling alley and alleged murder/or suicide/ or death that took place inside, but nothing concrete. This always amazed me that no one could ever provide any factual information on the home. Recently however, life reappeared at the house and some new residents have moved in. I just assumed a family member of the original owner (Mr. Robinson I assume?) as I don't think the home was ever offered for sale. Renovations seem to be taking place, the new residents have added some sculptures to the grounds, spot lighting, and what seems to be an enclosure for large animals (i think). Sounds strange and facinating but that's to be expected from such a cool mysterious house. Sorry not to offer the answer to your question, just thought I'd contribute what I could. I'd love to one day hear the story as it happened.
