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! So that's who designed and owned that infamous mansion in the Museum District. I never knew it was one of Maurice Sullivan's homes. Very cool! Does anyone know about this house? Must have been built in the 1920s?

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.

got an email from the Montrose Management District-- Breaking News: the Texas Transportation Commission received their recommended list of projects from staff and voted to approve the Montrose Management District’s application for funding to re-light the bridges over US Hwy 59 at their meeting Thursday morning. This project will replace the non-functioning original light strands with a state-of-the-art LED lighting system that not only will bring back the illumination that has been missing from the US 59 corridor for almost ten years, but will also create a safer environment both below the bridge decking and also for vehicular & pedestrian traffic on the bridges. The linkage provided by the Montrose bridge cannot be understated. Montrose is the only north/south connector west of the Central Business District that connects traffic from the heavily traveled I-10 to the Medical Center. The bridges not only provide a vital mobility link to communities on both sides, but also are a source of pride for the entire region due to their iconic nature. then I googled this: http://www.yourhoustonnews.com/west_university/news/m-grant-awarded-for-lighting-of-bridges-over-hwy/article_b4584127-5b33-5eb0-ad79-dd1d1239f519.html

These 3 lots are up for demo, they were all for sale by the same owner. The shape of the property is pretty awkward, if they end up being able to take that middle property this could be a good lot for an apartment building. https://www.flickr.com/photos/195884849@N02/52686786236/in/dateposted-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/195884849@N02/52687054434/in/dateposted-public/ -

I came across this vintage menu and wondered if anyone has heard of this place? I believe it was active in the 1950s? It was an Italian restaurant located in the Museum District, close to Midtown called Collora's Restaurant located at 4728 Fannin Street.

I think this location used to be GSMA offices. I recall seeing permits for it. Looks like they moved in to the 2 story building on 3815 Montrose Blvd which is going to be Clark's. https://www.gsmarchitects.net

Noticed the white building was knocked down while parking my car behind the Contemporary Arts Museum. Wonder what will go there. Hopefully not a parking lot. Google Street View image below.
