Having grown up here in Meyerland in the 60's and 70's, I've always been a fan of the truly odd or unique houses in Houston. I've not seen a thread discussing this, so I thought I'd start this one.

An example would be the house on the corner of Braesheather and Moonlight in Meyerland. It's in a neighborhood of largish 50's and 60's ranches, and it's got a gigantic rotunda room; very worlds fair.

There's also a house in Bellaire, near Buffalo Speedway and Bissonnet.. It's black. Really black. With a cool angular rock sculpture that follows the line of the house; it looks like a Klingon family moved into the area.

Next time I'm in the area with my camera, I'll take photos and add 'em.

Restaurants I miss:

Los Troncos (built in/around a huge tree)

Rice Hotel Coffee Shop and the downstairs cafeteria

Pier 21 near Braeswood and Fannin

The Red Lion on S. Main, north of Braeswood

Kaphan's

The Polyasian on S. Main, south of Braeswood

Alfred's on Stella Link

Trader Vic's on Gessner, near Westheimer
