I love it! can you explain how you attached them to the wall so that you don't see screws, etc?

Also, are they 1/4" or 1/2" panels? Are they made to be wall panels, or just plywood?

Thanks!

Houston Mod is looking for volunteers who have the time to search out plans and architects there in Meyerland. It will be my main project this summer. I've got a growing list of addresses that will be researched.

My other project is to scan in vintage magazine photos to share.

I would be willing to help in this effort. I teach at UH, so I also have access to all of their architectural magazines. In fact, I have spent many, many hours poring over issues looking for specific locales in Architectural Digest, et al.

I love the idea of the 50s abacus! I guess it won't really be for privacy, but it sounds like a neat fence!

I found these two and thought they were interesting. Meyerland seems to be full of great moderns!

That's upsetting. I've been looking for a cool modern for sale in Meyerland for several years now. I wish I would have seen this one.

The Broadview house looks great! I didn't get the notice until too late, so I didn't get to see it, but does anyone have any other pictures?

Thought everyone might be interested in this one. It would make a great mod of the month!

I just got done seeing this house. Its best feature is its exterior. The living room is pretty good, too. The rest of house is rather confusing, though, and the house seems really small from the inside.

Someone started doing some work, so there is sheetrock missing in a lot of places, and paint splattered on the inside brick and paneling, which is a shame. The house needs complete renovation.

It's actually not nearly as good of a house as the one on S. Macgregor that just sold for $152,000. That one was interesting and had a lot of neat features, including a much better layout. This one needs about as much work but without the payoff of original terrazzo floors, walls of glass, and a great cantilevered entry.

Yeah, I hate "undoing." I would much rather do all of the updates myself.

Yes, Robindell is a good value, but this home is on the higher side for the neighborhood; neverytheless, I'm going to see it today. I'm a sucker for those flat roofs.

The real question is what deal involved an original mod with over 6000 sq. ft.? I'm looking for one of those needles in the haystack of Houston!

That house is great! Does anyone know when it sold?

I went and saw this house yesterday, and it has some amazing features. I think it's likely that it is the House of Formica, for every surface--walls, cabinets, bars, etc.--is covered in Formica. I don't think there's is a drop of paint anywhere.

But the house is also really odd. I like strange, and this one is strange without being cool. Some of the design features just aren't right. Therefore, it's possible that we're heading for another Moonlight. I hope not, but I doubt the house will go for anything above lot value.

Does anyone know how much Granit paid for the house?

I have four outside cats and no problems with my boxwoods, maybe it's just me.

And you can't do this with yaupon

I can't do that with anything!

This is sad news indeed. I drive by that house all the time just to look at it and the cool mods around it. I wonder if they would be willing to sell it even now?

I went and saw this house several times when it was on the market last year. The windows surrounding the patio are great, but the house had a lot of problems. It was definitely liveable, but previous remodels left it a mishmash. The main problem was that the garage was converted into a very large laundry room, and the fence was put up because a tiny "martini pool" was installed. This meant that there was room for two cars to park and that was it. No street parking was allowed during the day. And yes, there are A LOT of McMansions going up in the area. And the house would always be worth lot value because of it--it was too small to compete with the new ones.

Still, I'm sad to see it go.

You guys probably know this but this house is currently for sale on HAR:Caudill House, although it's already OP.

Amazing place.

Sorry, but the link above doesn't work. Let's try this one: Caudill House on HAR.

Thanks for the help! The original owner is still alive, but I am hesitant to contact him. Once I finally get the property, I will do that. We're actually still in negotiations...

The glass on the back is a mixture of panels and sliding doors. The living room has glass on three slides, and none of those are doors, I think. The hallways alternate with two panels and then a set of sliding doors.

TexasArchitect,

Where did you get the Daily Court Review from? Sounds like interesting reading...

Wow. I bet they get some good sun in that room. Are those metal/wood dividers in the glass structural?

This is quite amusing. I am actually in the process of purchasing 5035 Glenmeadow right next door to this one. It's the one on the left mentioned in Fox's book that was designed by Israel Stein (1962). I'm having trouble finding any information on the house or its architect, though. I know it was designed for the architect's brother, Albert Stein, but I can't find out anything other than that.

Does anyone know about 5035 Glenmeadow?

The house is great, and I can't believe I got it. It's in disrepair, though, and it needs a lot love. The house has absolutelly no windows, which is amazing--just a brick wall on three sides, and a wall of glass on the other.
