tmariar Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Does anyone remember West Alabama Miniature Golf (1920 W. Alabama), which in the 1940's and 1950's was across the street from what's now the West Alabama Ice House (1919 W. Alabama)?Better yet, does anyone have a photo?I know the place existed because I saw it listed at 1920 W. Alabama in the 1941-42 city directory. And I'm pretty sure I see it in the oldest (1957) aerial photo on historicaerials.com (search on 1920 W. Alabama, Houston, TX 77098) - but not in the 1964 shot.A friend of mine lives very near there, and would love to see a better old photo, or hear something more about it. Based on the above, it may have been around 15+ years.If it helps: from 1941-1952, the ice house location was variously known as: McDuffie Ice House, Stop Spot No. 3, Morgan's Ice House, PM Ice Service, Mack's Drive Inn No. 2, and S&K Drive In. It became the West Alamaba Drive Inn around 1952, and the West Alabama Ice House sometime thereafter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
