BenH Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 If you've lived in Houston for any real length of time, you've probably seen or at least driven by this house. It's on Chimney Rock, just past Memorial Drive: http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r85/zoomanderson/House-On-Chimney-Rock.jpg So who designed it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey01 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 (edited) I'm glad you asked this. I've wondered the same! Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Edited February 22, 2007 by Jersey01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pumapayam Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 It looks like a double wide! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey01 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 It looks like a double wide! Not quite so double-wide-esque in person. It is actually a pretty cool place. It sort of floats over a sloping site, and theres this really neat ovelapping square motif in the iron gate. But because it is so close to the street one cannot capture all of this in a photo. BenH, I'd say I agree there are some Harwood Taylor looking aspects to the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey01 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Actually, while we are on a "whodunit" kick, just across Chimney Rock, at 407 Westminster (next to the Neuhaus & Taylor Frame house), there is a grey unidentified mod. It is one house west of the Frame house. Do any of you know the place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NenaE Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 (edited) I'm thinking Neuhaus & Taylor.Were you ever able to confirm this? Sure looks like their work. This house always catches my eye, as well. There are several nicely designed mods on that row...most intriguing to me is the Asian redwood on the corner (Chimney Rock & Memorial Dr.). Always wondered if these mod houses and bridge across Buffalo Bayou were built at the same time. Another nice '60's style home sits (somewhat) behind the Asian style house, at 611 Timber Terrace, extends over the sloping creek bank, as well. Timber Terrace also leads to the unique one at 1 Spring Hollow. Edited May 26, 2009 by NenaE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasdago Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 There is another one that is even more interesting (not the Asian house) just a few doors down that has a very nice modern design. I love these houses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a MacKie & Kamrath house on Timber Terrace, along with a Wylie Vale design that is a more traditional ranch style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NenaE Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 The house in post #1, on a ravine, located at 211 Chimney Rock is for sale, http://search.har.com/engine/211-Chimney-Rock-Houston-TX-77024_HAR89283998.htmGuess no one never figured out who built that one. Don't know why they have the views obstructed by the tv & dining room screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
