March Mod of the Month Houston Mod invites you to join us this Sunday, March 1, 2015 for a Mod of the Month open house event from 2 - 4 PM. Three vintage modern style houses from the 1960's and 1970's are featured. They are located about five and ten miles southwest of downtown Houston. All are in need of new preservation-minded owners. Thanks to Houston MODern Market for sponsoring this FREE event. 4919 Heatherglen Drive, Meyerland, Houston, Texas 77096 Alan Finger commissioned architect Arthur Steinberg to design this house for his young family in 1959. By 1961 it was complete and the family moved in as Hurricane Carla approached. In 1974, Finger had architect David Foster enlarge the house by adding more living area and a new master bedroom suite. Today that configuration remains providing high ceilings and abundant glass walls viewing the back terrace and swimming pool. HAR Link 5123 S. Braeswood Boulevard, Meyerland, Houston, Texas 77096 Al Fairfield custom designed and built this spacious one owner modern house in 1964, situated on a large lot on South Braeswood Boulevard.

The house has impressive living areas overlooking a large swimming pool and patios.
