Does anybody have any old Alief area photos that they can share? I'm talking about photos from the 30's through 70's? An arial would be awesome if anybody has one...

A while back I did a project on Alief (an architecture class by Stephen Fox at Rice), and I have a good number of pictures left. They were taken recently (2004), but are of the older/more historically important buildings. Let me know if you want em. I also have some photos of the graveyard at Dairy Ashford in detail, plus photos that are legible of the two historical markers if you want to read them.

Memories Of Alief
in Historic Houston
Posted
It sits along the bayou between Alief Clodine Rd and the Westpark-ing Lot Tollway (South of the 'tollway', north of Alief Clodine). Its almost directly at the intersection of Kirkwood and Alief Clodine. If you were to continue north on Kirkwood where it ends at that intersection you would basically run right into it. That narrow strip of land was where the railway station for Alief was along the Aransas Rail into Houston. Now there is some sort of defunct wharehouse on the strip of land rendered useless now that the railway has been replaced with the Westpark-ing Lot Tollway.
