Willowisp Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hey all, We went on a driving tour of memorial yesterday. Sad state of affairs out there! 328 Buckingham is now gone, and 843 Friar Tuck is probably right behind. Had a good time though other than that... Here's 843 Friar Tuck - real bad shape. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v729/clockwatchers/DSC00464.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v729/clockwatchers/DSC00465.jpg By Ben Koush from the 2005 RDA tour (it was on the peripheral drive by only tour) 328 Buckingham Drive Liese House Lloyd & Morgan 1954 By the 1950s Lloyd & Morgan was known mostly for their commercial buildings. However, they continued to design a small number of houses for select clients. The gracious design of the Liese House was one of Hermon Lloyd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willowisp Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 Here's 843 W. Friar Tuck now. Enjoy - the house of your sarcastic dreams.http://search.har.com/engine/dispSearch.cfm?mlnum=8677021Sorry, I'm a little upset today with this revisiting of the Cohen House and the Formica House. Formica was nearly saved, but I don't know if it can be. I don't know if ANYONE can make the numbers work on this house with a bank right now and no one's coming in with a cash purchase. That's 2 buyers they've had and lost.We also had to come up with an endangered top 10 at the Houston Mod Board meeting last night. Oh what fun that was...Any suggestions?

However, they continued to design a small number of houses for select clients. The gracious design of the Liese House was one of Hermon Lloyd's finest. The 1 1/2 acre property fronting a ravine allowed San Francisco landscape architect Thomas Church to design what was probably his most elaborate garden in Houston. It is currently in a state of decay and the landscaping has been completely subsumed by weeds and scrub. it is in worse shape now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
