s3mh Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 https://www.har.com/508-euclid-street/sale_19210818 The best craftsman architecture is in Woodland Heights. Hopefully the new owner will keep the understated renovations and won't go on a marble and subway tile spree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3mh Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 It's Honker the Goose's house. My kids have had their picture taken with Honker. And we got a hollowed out goose egg from Honker. So sad to see Honker and his lovely owner move out. https://www.har.com/723-w-12th-street/sale_30672358 https://www.houstonchronicle.com/local/gray-matters/article/A-jungle-paradise-in-the-Heights-10798099.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkultra25 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Jeff Law was an exemplar of what made the Heights the Heights. It was a sad day when he closed October Gallery. This house really needs a "caretaker" owner who respects its history and charm, as Ms. Hargrove clearly did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s3mh Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 https://www.har.com/122-e-5th-street-e/sale_40797064 This one is on the national register of historic places as the Paul Roffall house. As best I can tell it was one of two homes built by Samuel H. Webber. The other being the brick Victorian at 407 Heights Blvd. No idea who Paul Roffall was. Two great original fireplaces and lots of great woodwork. Double wrap around porch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3mh Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 https://www.har.com/homedetail/1642-arlington-st-houston-tx-77008/2971763 Long time Heights residents will recall that there was an Italian restaurant called La Bella Cucina in this house 20+ years ago. La Bella Cucina later moved to the building that currently houses Better Luck Tomorrow. This building has been stucco-ed up on the outside as long as I can remember. The interior design is about what you would expect and is pretty over the top. But there are some amazingly well preserved original woodwork all over the house. That is a nice surprise.

Ross Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 The colors in the photos had me rinsing my eyes with cold water, but that's what paint is for. Nice looking Chambers Model C in the kitchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3mh Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 https://www.har.com/homedetail/1435-rutland-st-houston-tx-77008/2969610 Only non-historic home I have put on this thread. I have to say that the interior is a bit underwhelming, but that may be more due to the random updating. I am sure whoever buys this will rip everything out and completely redo the interior. Gary Eades designed it and I always liked the building. The many McVics that came after and the current awful fad of the modern Victorian farmhouse look very cheap compared to the well thought out homage to classic Victorian homes that Eades did here.

s3mh Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 This is a rare time capsule Midcentury Modern over in Lazybrook. No info on the architect. But almost everything looks to be original. https://www.har.com/homedetail/2442-brooktree-dr-houston-tx-77008/7911476 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3mh Posted November 18, 2021 Author Share Posted November 18, 2021 This modern has been under construction (off and on again) since 2013. If you frequent the hike and bike path on Nicholson below 11th, you will recognize this one. Frame is structural concrete. If you are worried about a cat 5 hurricane, nuclear first strike, F5 tornado or Zombie apocalypse, this is the home for you. https://www.har.com/homedetail/917-nicholson-st-houston-tx-77008/9247323 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
