TheNiche Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 A billion meaningless points to the person that can provide me the location of this edifice. It is in a small town, not within the Houston MSA or any MSA, but within the Interstate triangle of I-45/I-10/I-35. Acceptable answers include general location descriptions, driving directions, description of what's across the street, lat/long, etc. I'll be flexible...credit given where credit is due. Good luck to all who dare participate. > EDIT: Ok, ok...I'll throw you another bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torvald Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 i thought i had it until the second photo. i know that area well but can't place this one. the large lot proved my answer was wrong... is that little bit of pond/lake peaking through the leaveson the right side of photo #2?

TheNiche Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 the large lot proved my answer was wrong... is that little bit of pond/lake peaking through the leaveson the right side of photo #2?Nope. That is the intersection of a side street and a major thoroughfare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bachanon Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 it looks like the The Albion Bed and Breakfast, 604 West San Antonio, Lockhart, Texas. but it don't think it is one and the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNiche Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 it looks like the The Albion Bed and Breakfast, 604 West San Antonio, Lockhart, Texas. but it don't think it is one and the same.Although it looks remarkably similar, and I wouldn't be surprised a bit if both were ordered from the same Sears catalogue, there are some differences...foremost of which is place. It isn't in Lockhart.Oh, and it appears that my second photo is a dead link. I'll fix that the next time I go home from work. Should be tomorrow night, then.

TheNiche Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 Seems we'll be needing a few more clues. I've got one more batch of clues, and they're basically full frontal shots, as opposed to all this stuff from the side and rear of the home.

WesternGulf Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Is this suppose to have a famous name? Otherwise, it seems like just another house in Texas. Basically, how are we suppose to know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNiche Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 Is this suppose to have a famous name? Otherwise, it seems like just another house in Texas. Basically, how are we suppose to know?It had a locally-and-somewhat-famous occupant until not too long ago, but I wouldn't have subtitled this thread as "An Exceptionally Difficult Edifice" and offered a billion points if it weren't exceptionally difficult. If anybody gets it, it'll probably be because they've got very specific geographic knowledge of the town in which it is located.If my last batch of clues doesn't do the trick, I'll take the name of the town as an acceptable answer.

TheNiche Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 i will give this answer only because of a previous "clue"is it the best little whore house in texas? Only if you call lawyers and politicians whores, in which case it'd be an accurate descriptor. I usually do call them whores, but in this case, I won't and would rather that you not. I'm related to the former occupant, you see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNiche Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 Navasota Could be... Is this the childhood home of Ross Perot ? This, it is not. We're talking about minor locally-famous people. If you've never lived in that county or aren't related, you probably won't have a clue about their identity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark F. Barnes Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 so does that mean its not the chicken ranch in la grange The "Chicken Ranch" house (Miss Jessie's Place) was bought by two Houston lawyers in 1977 and the front part of the house and the original furniture was moved to Dallas, where it was opened as a restaurant. The restaurant is now closed. Last clue set: This is in Brenham, I am almost sure, the Water Tower in the background is what I am keying off of.
