I am very interested in the land and property records for 1561 Kirby. I too, am fascinated by this story that has so many elements, only one of which shows Houston during its crazy hey day, which is quite a contrast to the current Houston that appears to have changed into the International, cross-cultural city that I believe it is today.
i understand that the house recently changed hands and that a family that had a house closer to downtown on the same street bought it.
Tommy Thompson's book was scholarly and really well-written. What fascinates me is that many of the "characters" in "B&M" are alive and still present.
I do want to keep this thread alive because with a city that is considered so relatively new, it is up to us to find those nuggets of history that bring our city alive.
