rps324 8 Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 No, I think they just got the street name wrong, I am pretty sure that house is 8131 Glencrest. Most of the houses taken out for the bayou widening were on the opposite bank, although I think one at the end of Colgate St. was demolished in the process. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LTAWACS 164 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Me likey that one. It has some promise for a renovation that wouldn't ruin its heritage. Noting wrong with bringing mid-cent-mods into the 21st cent is there?Sharpstown is full of these kinds of homes. Geez, I sound like a broken record don't I.Does anyone know the address of this house? I've been looking for it like crazy. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BellfortBroadway76 0 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Does the deed restrictions in Memorial Bend provide any relief from this sort of mod abuse? Is there anything in the restrictions regarding additions/modifications?I know I'm late to the meeting on this one, but some California MCM neighborhoods found a successful legal defense against 2nd story additions to MCMs and McMansion construction next to/behind MCMs. The logic goes that homes with floor-to-ceiling glass facing their side/back yards are entitled to the same expectation of privacy that existed when they were built (with respect to viewing angles from neighboring houses). This legal approach works best in a neighborhood with a cluster of single-story MCMs (like the Eichlers in Cupertino, CA).Hope that offers a potential direction to focus some of the well-justified neighborhood indignation I hear repeatedly from MCM owners and enthusiasts.Good luck.

LTAWACS 164 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I was looking at some of the homes on the website posted by the OP. I see that 8107 Stony Dell Ct. has been razed. It's gone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
