Surprised I'm the first to post this revelation (at least I think I am), but the Allen House is slated to be re-developed. Notices were on the doors of 3535 and 3505 Dallas and 3601 Allen Pkwy. June 1 closing.
Mixed used development planned...kind of explains all of the recent structure torn down in the area.
Surely the Chronicle will be on this news.
As for me, well its been home for a bunch of years...
