These 3 multifamily houses are getting demo'd. My guess is that it will eventually be either townhomes or some sort of larger multifamily.

In 1917, Ross Sterling was building a mansion in Montrose located at 4410 Rossmoyne Street (later Yoakum Boulevard.) Mike and Ima Hogg needed a place to live while their Bayou Bend estate was being built. Ross Sterling leased the property to the Hoggs for a few years. When Mike Hogg left the property for Bayou Bend, another oilman moved in. Walter Benona Sharp. In 1902, Sharp, Ed Prather, and Howard Hughes Sr., founded the Moonshine Oil Company. University of Saint Thomas owned the property for decades up until demolition. The building had numerous names, including Second Women's Residence, and Spiritual Hall. Photos of the old mansion. Sadly was demolished for a few 3-story luxury town homes. -
During the 1950s, mental health treatment and science really started gaining traction in Houston. One of the initial companies researching was The Mental Health Association of Houston and Harris County. Located in a 2-story house in Montrose at 916 Branard Street. This hospital isn't not very well known so I'm glad I am sharing with HAIF. Very cool history here. Edit: This was lead by Mrs. Viola Perkins, Executive Director.

Alfred C. Finn designed the residence of Walter Fondren located at 3410 Montrose Boulevard. Designed in the 1920s. Now a Hines skyscraper towers over the old mansion.

I noticed this sign while going heading westbound on W. Alabama St. I stopped to get a better look at it. Bradshaw Carter Funeral Home purchased the two buildings immediately east of their property for a parking lot. One house was converted in to a Dentist's office but don't know what the other house was. This is directly across from the Montrose HEB and the funeral guests would park in portions of HEB's parking lot during funeral events. They used off duty officers to help people cross the street.

Surprised no one has mentioned this yet. I've been walking by the past couple of weeks and thought it was just undergoing a remodel. There's an alcohol permit with an applicant of a Thai restaurant. I'm not sure there is a Thai food demand with Nidda a block away. Perhaps they will be staying open late with the bar traffic nearby.

The architecture firm Jones & Tabor Architects designed the residence of W.A. Burkett that was built in the historic neighborhood Avondale. The building was constructed in January 9, 1910. Awesome looking house! Can't exactly tell what's behind, or on top, of the house. I know there are some historians on HAIF. Does anyone know the exact address?

I saw the mural artist painting a mural so I stopped to talk with him. Turns out he is deleon-artz, he has murals all around the Houston area. Said he did the mural at Dogtopia on W. Alabama St. and will do the Dogtopia on Washington Ave. that is under construction. He said he does all the murals for Alliance apartments too. The woman he was talking with is the owner of all the Dogtopia's. She said she plans to open one in Timbergrove on TC Jester. https://www.deleonartz.com/about https://www.instagram.com/deleon_artz/ https://www.dogtopia.com/houston-waugh-drive/

I believe the old Sterling-Berry House located at 4515 Yoakum Blvd in Montrose is for sale. I see a JLL sign in front of the old house. Historic house designed by the "star architect" Alfred C. Finn and built in 1916. The Sterling Mansion is also another name for this historic house.

Just discovered Max Wesheimer's home in a newspaper article. Max was once of M.L. Westheimer's nephews. I looked on Google Maps and 1400 Chenevert is now a surface lot. I wonder how big his house was? From the newspaper The Jewish Herald-Voice dated September 22, 1938. Westheimer - Mr. and Mrs. Max and nephew, Mr. Joseph J. Eisemann, 1400 Chenevert, extend best wishes to all their friends and relatives for a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

I'm not sure of this person's first name. Any help here? I read F. A. Heitman was a local hardware tycoon. The house was designed by none other William Ward Watkin. Such a beautiful home, that was since demolished.

wow! Found an unknown residence of Mr. Joseph Finger. Looks like it's sandwiched in between the Museum District and Montrose located at 801 Portland Street, Colby Court. I wonder if he designed the home himself? Any pictures? From the newspaper The Texas Jewish Herald dated March 24, 1927. Hadassah Silver Tea A silver tea for the benefit of Hadasah will be given at the home of Mrs. Joseph Finger, 801 Portland, Colby Court, on Wednesday afternoon, April 6, from 3 to 5 o'clock. A cordial invitation is extended the public.

Very cool! An old school in Montrose! Never even heard of it. Here's the business advertisement from the newspaper The Jewish Herald dated September 18, 1930. Does anyone recall this school? Any pictures? I'm sure the school was housed in a residential home? So a "school house" maybe? I'm assuming the superintendent/head instructor/owner was Maude Mitchell. Maude Mitchell School Fall Term Starting Sept. 15 Board and Day School Kindergarten and up to Tenth Grade French, Music and Expression Dancing / Transportation 4720 Montrose Blvd. / Lehigh 8405

I'm confused. There was more than one hospital in Montrose? I only knew of the Hedgecroft Hospital & Clinic located at 5010 Montrose Blvd. What's the deal with this place? Does anyone have any family medical history from this hospital? From The 1947 American Hospital Association's American Hospital Directory: Montrose Hospital Clinic - 4410 Montrose Blvd. Established - 1946 Annie Mae Wait R.N., Supt. Zone 6 Tel Li-3911 A decade later it seemed to change ownership/management. From the publication called Hospitals dated 1954-06: Vol 28 Iss 6.

Found this in the publication Diseases of the Nervous System Volume 1 dated 1940. A little weird. I thought the Keightley Hospital was in Almeda On Anderson Road? I'm thinking it this was a second, more smaller location? I know Vivian Keightley started the company in Almeda, TX. Also, wasn't 1319 Richmond the original location of the Kinkaid School? I see the advertisement mentions new building under construction. I wonder if this was when Kinkaid moved out and sold their land? Okay, looking on HAIF I see the Kinkaid school was built in the 1920s, and was removed from directories in the 1940s. Keightley Hospital 1319 Richmond, Houston, Texas Jackson 21539 (New bldg. under construction) Member, Texas State Hospital Assn. Registered with A.M.A. Facilities for care of Neuropsychiatric Disorders
