SpaceAge Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 A 1980's mod located at 5335 Queensloch, very near the 5110 Braesheather house, will also be open Sunday, today, 2-4 PM. Also, the "Formica House" is located almost behind the Braesheather house at the SW corner of S. Rice and S. Braeswood. Those of you that have not seen it can take a short walk around the corner to do so. It's not open so view it from the sidewalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NenaE Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 That Applebaum house design on Braesheather is a beauty. It does looks very original in it's interior design and furnishings. Love that door. So much work to be admired in Meyerland! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
