Reminds me of my favorite Houston apartment back in the apartment days. It was in that huge old complex that used to be where the Kroger center is now at the corner of Westpark /Buffalo Speedway/Edloe. I had an efficiency there that had an honest to God Murphy bed and a little bitty kitchen with these porcelain covered fixtures all built in including an icebox. Very 40's. It had a back door with a little porch and there were lots of trees and green lawn. It was fantastic and I almost cried when they tore it all down some years later.
I lived there in the early/mid 90s. It was called the Greenway Apts. I used to walk to work in Greenway Plaza down Purdue St. and across the bridge at Edloe. (Purdue is completely gone, but you can see where it was because Kroger kept the trees that lined the street in their parking lot.) Now that I think about it, maybe the "Edloe Apts." were where Kroger is, becuase my apartment was across Buffalo Spdwy., where the retirement home is now. They were nice, basic places. Very 40s, as you say.
