  1. Hello all!

    This is a place where we can let everyone know when we add new content to the Houston Mod website, whether it's buildings, news or events.

    You can now find original photos from the Alden B. Dow archives of the Charles Reed residence at 111 Carnarvon here:

    It's really cool to see these pics. My wife's uncle bought the house and did a lot of modifications to it and I was never able to see it in its natural state, The skylight is gone and the floors are travertine all the way through now. Also the ceilings were raised and most of the interior brick is covered over. I didn't even know there was a fireplace at one time as it's covered over now. The original plan was to demo the house and build a new one there. I'm glad they chose to remodel instead. I personally would have left the interior mostly alone but they modified it enough so they are comfortable there. It really is a beautiful place.

     

    Next time I'm over there I'll ask if I can post some new shots so you all can see the difference.
