While browsing the The Bellaire Texan magazine dated April 3, 1957 I found a business ad for Whitehill Stables at 5418 Dashwood Dr. "One block off Chimney Rock Road Behind Chimney Rock Nursery"

Recently under new management, Whitehill Stables & School of Riding (formally the Bellaire Stables.)

Sandy Whitehall proprietor and instructor.

J. Jones resident farrier.

Horace Alley trainer & instructor.

Interesting to think how much of 'downtown Bellaire' was farming land just 70 years ago.  This is 2 short blocks west of the Bellaire HEB, 1 block north of the Bellaire Triangle - riding stables!

 

I remember Westmoreland Dairy on Rice Ave, I think it was, where Sam's Club is now, some cattle in the fields behind the plant, and Pin Oak Stables on Post Oak Rd, now 610, south of the railroad tracks/Westpark, next to the original quonset hut studios of Channel 2.
