I filed a freedom of information act request requesting any pictures, maps and information on the SJOD and information on burial of chemical weapons at the site. I got a letter saying I should gave the information by the end of Nov.

It was about year ago i saw it for sale. I was reading an old Houston Chronical artical refering to the old firehouse. It was owned buy a guy who was planing on turning it into a meusume. I guess he put it up for sale.

Im going to check Harris County appraisal district to find some info on it.

Appelt is kind of easy to miss just look at a map before you go out there again.

ill let everyone know when i get more pictures.

thanks

go to www.hcad.org and serch account number 1167660000006. I think this is the firehouse (Built in 1942) Not positive on the address but I think it correct.

What's the best way to get in there? Are there gates or anything that would prevent access?

By the way, where did you see the ad? You've got me curious.

Just drive down Appelt Dr (Off Market and Jacinto Port Blvd.) There are two bunker on Appelt Dr. that you can get too easy as they are just yards off the road. The other are on Privet property, you can still get to them but at the risk of confrontation.

Take a look at page 497-498 on the Houston Key map It shows the unnamed roads, Appelt Dr., and a road called Sundial

I also found some old houston road maps online from 1952 that showed the property of SJOD from Penn City Road all the way to the San Jacinto River

I aslo found a map from 1961 and the SJOD name was gone.

If you drive down Jacinto Port BLvd. you can see gates that block off access to the unnamed roads that had the Bunkers o eaither side on them.

I will try to find the pictures I have in the next few day and send them via email to anyone who wants them.

Thanks, Jason Mcclure

I drive through there all the time. You can still go inside some of the ammo bunkers and drive aroung some of the roads.

not too long ago, there was a old firestation for sale on the property. It was on Bomford st. and was $225,000 The ad said it was could withstand a direct hit by a 500 lb bomb.

SOmeone told me that they kept German POW's there?

I will try and find the digital pictures and let people know and email them to anyone who wants them.

I would also like to have copies of the "plans" that you have. If you have a good digital camera, you could take close up pictures of sections of them and send them via email.

thanks, jason
