In my Jenkins research I found this little street. Turns out 11718 Longleaf was by Jenkins but was either torn down or altered and "remodeled" in 1982 according to HCAD. When I went over there I found this house as well thinking it could be Jenkins or Floyd. I mailed the owners of both houses last year but got no reply. Today on a whim I typed longleaf into HCAD and sure enough this house came up. Not a lot of pictures, definite teardown possibility, especially considering the listing. I may drop everything tomorrow to get a look at it if I can get a realtor friend to meet me over there. http://search.har.com/engine/dispSearch.cf...mp;backButton=Y

One of my neighbors notified me of this house - looks nearly original and it was apparently designed by David Crocket (?). Looks like loads of glass. http://search.har.com/engine/indexdetail.c...mp;backButton=Y http://harpictures.marketlinx.com/MediaDisplay/83/hr1783583-2.jpg http://harpictures.marketlinx.com/MediaDisplay/83/hr1783583-7.jpg http://harpictures.marketlinx.com/MediaDisplay/83/hr1783583-8.jpg http://harpictures.marketlinx.com/MediaDisplay/83/hr1783583-10.jpg http://harpictures.marketlinx.com/MediaDisplay/83/hr1783583-11.jpg http://harpictures.marketlinx.com/MediaDisplay/83/hr1783583-14.jpg

This house is on Friar Tuck in Sherwood Forest, very close to the famous mini French Palace. Anyone know anything about this house? It looks like a good, clean, simple design, probably 1960s.

http://www.har.com/7475233 I tried to email this realtor to ask if they'd like to be a mod of the month earlier in the month, but never heard back. Well, it's open this Sunday, so go if you can... Jason

Hey all, We went on a driving tour of memorial yesterday. Sad state of affairs out there! 328 Buckingham is now gone, and 843 Friar Tuck is probably right behind. Had a good time though other than that... Here's 843 Friar Tuck - real bad shape. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v729/clockwatchers/DSC00464.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v729/clockwatchers/DSC00465.jpg By Ben Koush from the 2005 RDA tour (it was on the peripheral drive by only tour) 328 Buckingham Drive Liese House Lloyd & Morgan 1954 By the 1950s Lloyd & Morgan was known mostly for their commercial buildings. However, they continued to design a small number of houses for select clients. The gracious design of the Liese House was one of Hermon Lloyd

This is amazing. We've all seen slumlords forced to renovate decrepit apartments, but I've never seen a condo complex shut down, especially one where the residents have spent tens of thousands of dollars maintaining it. I know. I used to own one of these units. http://www.click2houston.com/news/17226067/detail.html

This cute little house built in 1957 is on Memorial Drive, right across from Town & Country Village. Unfortunate that it's on such a busy street and that the owners haven't taken care of it at all, since both of those things mean that it will probably be demolished soon. In fact, there's already a giant David Weekly sign in the front yard: "Build on your own lot!" Someone will, I'm sure, since that's the popular thing to do in Memorial Bend (this house's neighborhood). Here's the HAR link: http://search.har.com/engine/dispSearch.cf...mp;backButton=Y Here's the exterior: http://memorialbendarchitecture.com/12747mem.jpg A few interior shots: http://images-75.har.com/e1/mediadisplay/75/hr2169575-27.jpg http://images-75.har.com/e1/mediadisplay/75/hr2169575-20.jpg And here's the original 1958 ad for the house from the Chronicle: http://memorialbendarchitecture.com/12747mem_hcad.jpg Any takers? It's a great neighborhood...

For what it's worth : http://recenter.tamu.edu/mnews/newsSearch....S&CID=41151 108 Condo owners eyeing vintage complex's sale (Multifamily : Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown) 4/21/2008 (Houston) - A total of 108 condo owners have joined together to sell the 27-year-old Park Memorial Condominium complex. It is situated on 4.85 acres at 5292 Memorial Dr. Located in the Memorial Heights submarket, the complex totals 166,538 sf in a mix of one- and two-bedroom units. Harris Central Appraisal District assessments range from $103 per sf to $106 per sf per unit. Saul Keeton of Colliers International says the costs of deferred maintenance for the owners of the complex had become burdensome, which is one reason they've agreed to bring the asset to market. [GlobeSt.com] And to think, i was under a contract to purchase one of those places at the end of November 2007, what a deal that I missed!!! The places were really rare for the area, they were really large and I dont think there were any units that were less than 875 sq. ft in size....Great Location (Walking distance to Memorial, Spotts, Cleveland Park, Washington Avenue and Regent Square) and everyone knew once the Caceres (http://www.caceresliving.com/) project started that these apartments wouldn't last bc of the superior location, views and mini park area in front of it!! "Memorial drive between downtown and memorial park" is really stepping it up and it's already a somewhat upscale area....Only if the Orion would've made it, and let's not forget that the entire lot that Otto's encompasses will be gone shortly. This should really do wonders for keeping Washington Avenue unique, because Memorial drive will hold the upscale title in that area....Any ideas what they will do with this site(High rise condos, etc)?

12927 Memorial became active on the market as of yesterday -- here's HAR's listing for the previous sale (current HAR listing appears to be unavailable): http://www.har.com/HomeValue/dispSoldDetai...?MLNUM=1436766# There is a well documented series of images at the aforementioned site. The house has been extensively remodeled; removing most of it's original Post-War Modern qualities. Could one "backdate" the house? Sure, but it doesn't make economic sense to strip out "new" to replace with new. Uncovering who the architect was for this house would be of value, I suspect the developer/builder was Bob Pine. Backstory on this property may be found at: http://memorialbendarchitecture.com/12927mem.htm

On the market for a few days: http://search.har.com/engine/doSearch.cfm?...&FOR_SALE=1 Affordable for the area -- especially given that it is habitable from day one. Back story at: http://memorialbendarchitecture.com/12943mem.htm

If you should somehow make your way to this board, Staub's second house for the Elkins family is on Farish Circle, which is an extension of Carnarvon Dr. It's at the very end of the road, but it nowhere near visible from the street. According to city documents, Staub and Rather designed the home in 1947 for James A. and Margaret Wiess Elkins Jr. .

This one has a somewhat stealth quality as there is no "For Sale" sign posted. The HAR listing possesses no interior images and the property is listed as "Lot Value Only". Built in 1957 -- owner possesses architectural drawings -- this one is a flat roof modified building as is evident on the Memorial Bend Architecture site. Listed at 270K I would venture to guess this is a high price for only lot value -- but it's also a high price for the building as well. There have been at least two offers to date, neither accepted. Chances are, this one is a goner. http://www.har.com/9958541

I don't know if anyone else went on the Azalea Trail this weekend, but if you went in to Bayou Bend via the Lazy Lane entrance, you may have noticed some major construction on an enormous modern house on the left border of the property. That's a new modern by Alexander Gorlin, and it is similiar in style to Chris Robertson's house for his parents on Main St. http://www.gorlinarchitects.com/index_content.htm Go to "projects" "homes" and "Houston Residence" Thanks to Stephen Fox for the info.

It's a stretch, but I'm looking for a picture of this house for Houston Mod's "Mod No More" section. It is now gone. If anyone has an old shot of it, send it along and I will credit you for it.

Wanted to let y'all know that Martha Turner's in house magazine Properties has a page long article about Preston Bolton that's worth checking out. It's not up on their website yet, though.

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r85/zoomanderson/DSC_0014copy.jpg I've seen this one for years but finally was able to go up and look at it. Has some interesting touches that I couldn't get clear shots of. Been vacant for some time.

Anyone have any opinions on the Jackson Hill Flats? I'm looking for a condo inside the loop and I really don't want to go higher than 170k if possible because I'm probably only going to be a here another year or so but my lease is due and taxes are killing me plus I hate wasting money in rent. For the price, they appear pretty good and I like the location. Any red flags here that you all know of? Or any other suggestions in that range? Thanks.- 7 replies

Can anyone tell me if there's any way to see the Barnstone steel and glass pavilion @ 2930 Lazy Lane from the street or from nearby? I believe I saw it once, but going back over there we couldn't find it from any angle on the street. Maybe we were at Bayou Bend and saw it from there? Thanks, Jason
