Jersey01 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 This house is on Friar Tuck in Sherwood Forest, very close to the famous mini French Palace. Anyone know anything about this house? It looks like a good, clean, simple design, probably 1960s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenH Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 According to Ben Koush, this is a Neuhaus & Taylor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 If this is next to the French chateau, years ago a friend was renting out the servant's quarters while she was finishing grad school. Occasionally when the owners were out of town we would go inside the house to hang out. I remember very little of the interior, other than thinking that it wasn't as luxurious as I had expected. The servant's quarters were dire - she had to cook on a little hot plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strickn Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Neat find. Is it normal for houses that modernist outside to be outfitted oppositely, without streamlining, inside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicman Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 (edited) Neat find. Is it normal for houses that modernist outside to be outfitted oppositely, without streamlining, inside?some of the furniture looks like it predates the house. probably pricey family furniture or something similar Edited August 6, 2007 by musicman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenH Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Neat find. Is it normal for houses that modernist outside to be outfitted oppositely, without streamlining, inside?No. That's kind of a Houston trend that was popularized by the de Menils.

Jersey01 Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 (edited) I really love his house, the back reminds me of 50's Beverly Hills houses in Trousdale Estates. Looks sort of Hal Levitt to me.And good point about Dominique de Menil being very influential in the aspect of eclectic antiques in modernist homes. Houston's higher end mods tend to have this distinct look. Edited August 10, 2007 by Jersey01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KatieDidIt Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 (edited) Some builder is building vanilla colored, patterned concrete walls on their constructions on Friar Tuck and Memorial. There are two of them and they look HORRIBLE, like shiney plastic. They look like the plastic walls you get in the bag of mini,plastic army men. Sad. Also, if some one goes crashing into that ( not like anyone slides off Memorial into a wall ever....every month... ), it one huge piece that has to be reformed rather than patched.

HoustonRealtor Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 The listing agent certainly didn't go overboard on the photos! MLS allows 16...she only has 6. Perhaps it's just a teaser to lure wealthy potential buyers in for an accompanied tour of the home.(Useless Trivia: The owner has the same name as the former owner of Yellow Cab here in Houston, although I can't be certain that it's the same person.)

sevfiv Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I'm pretty sure it's the same George D. Kamins (Yellow Cab).Developer Kenneth Schnitzer (d. 1999) lived there at one point, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
