    It sold September 9, 2011. No listings available on Sawbuck or NuHabitat but HAR set the range at $552,001-$627,000. ETA: The buyer also bought another property from the same seller earlier this year (maybe they're family).

    ^In 1976+ it was a Gerland's Food Fair

    There was a nice preview reception Saturday evening:

    Looks like Weingarten's and Lang's Pharmacy (1963 directory) - I believe it was built in the early sixties so those are probably the firsts..

    The County Clerk database can work but it can be clunky - like mentioned above, you can find the earliest owner on HCAD then retro search grantor/grantees and if it's a common name and you get lots of hits, you can use the "Subdivision/Description" field for the neighborhood name (HCAD's "legal description." The older the record, though, the less uniform the entry (names and subdivisions). City directories will show tenants which could help, too. I have 1963 and 1976 directories handy - if you PM the address I can give you the information..

    I hate to say it, but it's about time. I guess Smith finally gave in!

    Note merged topics.. @NenaE - it looked like the rock facade led down to planters along the bottom.

    Neat...especially with the BCM/Medical Towers building in the background!

    ^I agree about the grill - looks like a persnickety mustache...

    Here are photos/video of Prudentia demolition from chron.com - time to move this building's page to the "demolished" category http://blog.chron.com/newswatch/2012/01/prudential-building-in-houston-destroyed/

    ^The long "squares" just south of Bissonnet?

    I don't know if I can even watch the live stream - after going over the maps and thinking about it (too much?) I decided I'm going to go with what I've got - pictures of it as it was. Not only does the crew really want people away, I also don't need that sinking feeling I always get - there's just no (more) thrill in seeing a building getting massacred..

    I really liked Cabo (bad service and all) and El Rey - I'm surprised at least one (El Rey) couldn't hang around. I hope something with a similar cuisine replaces one..

    I received it too but hadn't read it yet - here is the other image from the email:

    Just an update - I came across some ads I saved from a while back of Bemis Bag/Texas Bag & Fibre Co. (what the building was pre HISD/Saint Arnold) and a picture of the old building: more: http://www.arch-ive.org/bemis.php

    Thanks for all the pictures - was the snow from a Cougar promo event? I'm sometimes at UH after work and I'm amazed at all that's going on - it's been about a decade since I left working/going to school there and it's a different world.

    At the bottom of the following page there are clickable letters that correspond to the first letter of the name of the area - then there will be a drop-down list of all names for that letter. Sometimes the query only returns one image but if you manually change the last number in the image URL sequentially (either higher or lower) you can sometimes "browse" more. http://www.hctax.net/Property/blockbooks/default.aspx

    It looks like in 1973/74 it became "Wolfwood" and this one was 415 Strey Ln. - it was originally owned by Joseph A. Wolf who created the small subdivision. It's the "existing house" on the block book: http://books.tax.hct..._106-2_0117.jpg and originally part of the JD Taylor survey: http://books.tax.hct...7_41-2_0132.jpg

    Your pictures can be uploaded - if you're in the full reply window (click on "more options" next to the "post" button in the quick reply window) click on the "Choose File" button to select them from your computer and then attach them. Otherwise the images need to be hosted somewhere to get a URL (like tinypic, photobucket). I thought we had a FAQ about this but I can't find anything either! If we really don't, we'll make one..

    Could you give the closest intersection of the school you mentioned?
