I stumbed on that pond in the culdesac many years ago, when it wasn't in the best of shape. I took pics of it. Nice to know the history. Seems like there was new construction going on at the time. I remenber one beautiful (I think it was Spanish Style)house sitting at an odd angle on the western side of the pond. Yea that is a good article, I guess I should ask about the history of the Spanish Style home that one has been there since before 1944. AS seen in the pic here. http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg60/dlfswi/historic-houston/bras-mansion44.png 1953 pic http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg60/dlfswi/historic-houston/bras-mansion53.png 1964 pic http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg60/dlfswi/historic-houston/bras-mansion64.png 02 pic http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg60/dlfswi/historic-houston/bras-mansion02.png Also thx for the responses guys I appreciate it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) That's 2330 North Braeswood:2330 North Braeswood BoulevardJoseph Finger, 1933The first house to be built on Braeswood Court, itoriginally looked out across Brays Bayou to theopen countryside. The painted tile plaque inset inthe chimney stack next to the swimming pool isvintage 1930s.That's from http://citemag.org/w..._Fox_Cite16.pdfIt looks like the house belonged to the Meyer family, responsible for developing Meyerland, until 1984 when the estate of the widow of Joseph F Meyer Jr sold it to Lailah Suki (a realtor active in that part of town in the 70's and 80's - I lived above her office on Holcombe at one point).
