Thank you for organizing this. The Oak Dr. house was amazing!

Where is the house off Hiram Clarke, or do you mean his own house on Simsbrook?

His house on Simsbrook.

Found this obit for Houston Architect Mike Verges. Helped with the design on the Dome and studied under Frank Lloyd Wright and built a really neat Usonian style home off Hiram Clarke. His house at 4421 Simsbrook is worth a drive past if you are in the area. Anyone know of other homes he did in Houston?

I say paint!

I think I have seen this house. Timbergrove? Cool place!

Anyone have any info about this building? Old pictures or architectural drawings? This building is one of my favorites.

Ideas?

No additional info on the property, but I just made the same comment to my husband Monday. It is a neat building.

I thought I won the MCM jackpot when I bought my incredible patio set from the Wigton house. It is a really neat house and the family selling it had said they wanted someone to buy it and love it as much as they had. The window in the front was worth buying the house IMO. Hope someone buys it and loves it for what it is.

Pineapple Express- the house where Gary Coles character lives is amazing.

Mullholland Drive- the house in the scene where Billy Ray Cyrus beats the crap out of Justin Theroux. Funny stuff.

Bottlerocket- Bobs house in Dallas- I think it is my favorite MCM movie house.

Confessions of a Dangerous Mind- the house Drew Barrymore and Sam Rockwell buy together. The whole movie is very mod and hip.

Crybaby- Traci Lords house when she is running away from home- the whole neighborhood looks amazing.

Virgin Suicides- the Lisbon house

I hate to admit this one, but the Cullens house in Twilight is pretty rad as well.

Yeah, there is something about this house that just doesn't sit right with me too. I love a great mod house, but this one is just off.

Where is this house?

Yes W. Grey stops at shepherd and Inwood begins, The house from Terms of endearment was shot on inwood between shepherd and chilton like 3rd house east of chilton on N side of street if memory is correct, the owners that bought it though did a major facade change to curb people from stopping to take pictures. 2200 block of inwood i think

Auroras house is on 3060 Locke Lane, right off of Kirby and Westheimer. It still looks exactly the same as it did in the movie.

Love this one, but it seems this size of house would be for a family, and the schools there look to be, well awful.

Bonhomme is an awesome street. Drive down Treefrog at the end of it one day. You will forget you are in SW Houston. Yes, the schools stink, but there are some great ones in adjacent neighborhoods. Make HISD magnet vanguard work for you!

And cheap too.

I also went to Ed White. The atrium off of Jorine was awesome. The only time we were allowed in was for messy projects, etc. If I remember correctly there was a bird bath or a fountain in the center?

I also remember the outdoor patio/classroom in the center of the school. I always thought it was an empty swimming pool when I was little. I wonder if I flash my HISD badge they will let me in to snap some photos.

Hello all!

Does anyone have any information on the mission style school house located in Booth?

Thanks!

Oh yes smelled this morning as soon as I walked outside in the Katy area. I also smell it here in the westchase district where I work, even stronger.

In smelled it in Westchase at about 6:30 am and by Hobby at 7 am. Both locations it was strong like there was a fire near.

Courthouse on shaw in pasadena had the sign as of a couple years ago. The Chronicle had an interesting article in their "texas" magazine on sunday several years ago on homes behind Meyerland with shelters, i believe off Jason street. i guess a builder included them with the house. Kinda pre-fab tubes.

There is an older house in Bellaire behind the high school on the corner of Pine and Ferris that I heard had a bomb shelter. There is a large hill in the front yard.

Hello all! I thought MCM home enthusiasts would also be MCM furniture lovers too.

I have an old Plycraft lounger and ottoman that needs to be repaired and recovered.

Anyone have any good recs for mod furniture repair in Houston?

Thanks
