The June 11, 1972 Houston Chronicle has a story titled "Glenn McCarthy Mansion, 7.5 Acres Bring $1.5 Million". Later this evening I will try to post a copy of the story and the accompanying photo of the mansion. For the record, the story indicates that the three-story home was located at 7500 Kelvin.

I knew Glenna McCarthy Satterfield , in the 1980s, they were neighbors in Heath Tex. I remember her telling me that her parents sold the home to be torn down in 1973, no one at that time could really afford the Houston City tax on the property. The home was 15,000 sq ft on 3 floors . The home was featured in Architectural Digest in 1966, I think . I did see the copy that Glenna had at the time. Have not been able to ever find another copy . I am a strong collector of Shamrock Hotel memorabilia. I have a Interior Design business in the Dallas Tx area , and work for Glenna in the early years of my career. Which I am very grateful , since that boosted my company .
