    That's a big 'ol f*&^%#g house. Call the terrazzo refinishers, I see a mighty big crack, and it ain't on the backside of the previous owners...

    Yeah...that's the same story somebody posted on the Oak Forest boards...

    That would knock out some rather charming and unique portions of the city (Allen Pky, Montrose, River Oaks) how about putting it between downtown and Baytown instead.... the east freeway corridor needs a makeover in the worst way.

    I drive by there often....they started demolition, I think it was back in the summertime...then they did a little construction, then they just stopped. Haven't seen any activity at the site in months.

    Doesn't most of the area flood pretty regularly?

    That's funny. It looks like they got every flake of snow from the whole backyard to build the snowman!

    Wow. Those are some incredible houses. Not terribly surprising to see that they're gone however. They were obviously some very wealthy folks that built those houses, and it seems like the wealthy are more likely, or at least more likely than those without tremendous means, to teardown and rebuild or move elsewhere.

    I think that was the Sims estate. Not 100% sure tho. Also...let's not forget the big houses in Forest Hill on Alta Vista and Pasadena. The one on Pasadena looks like it is about ready for the bulldozer....you can see all the way through the house in some places you shouldn't be able to...like the roof. The two on Alta Vista are doing better, espescially the one with the red tile roof. The one next door could use some serious help, but isn't hopeless....yet.

    That's not a huge surprise...they were past their prime, and seems like the Allen Parkway has been a hot commodity recently.

    There's this really neat thing called Google They do maps and satellite images too. You should check it out sometime.

    My opinion on elementary schools is that they don't matter nearly as much as a supportive family that takes an active role in the child's education.

    They did the same thing with the Nacogdoches Co. courthouse....lovely old building, torn down to build an icky looking terrible low slung thing.

    I take it the hit count isn't publicly displayed?

    Nice. Love the vent-a-hood. It'll sure be a mess to clean the bottom of those cabs. So it sold for $175k. How much would y'all say they spent on lipstick for aforementioned pig?

    This building is simply to die for. I presume, in the grand Houston tradition, that it has been torn down. Where was it?

    No ____, Sherlock. This whole thread is a discussion of it.

    NO WAY! That's why they called it the Riviana building?!?

    How much are they looking to spend? Do they want an old house? Do they mind transitional areas? Would they like to be closer to town, and just send the kids to private school? Most of the older neighborhoods don't have good schools...but then again, you can get a really nice house, close in, in a older area for not much money, and send the brats to private school.

    If your horizon is 10-15 years, then just do whatever makes you happy. There's no way of knowing what values are going to be like in 10-15 years....it could be worth big money, or unforseen events could make property nearly worthless.
