I am aware of two Houston houses in their original location dating to 1875, one on the southwest corner of Silver and Lubbock, and the Klunkert house at 2911 Julian. I believe both have historical markers of some kind. Tonight I was told that the house on the northwest corner of Dickson and Roy, or more accurately the square box center part of the house, dates to just after the civil war, maybe 1868. the house fronts on Roy. I could not see an address on the house. Does anyone have a way to check the age of this house?
I was also told this neighborhood developed as housing for domestic help for nearby River Oaks. Does anyone know anything about this?
