Home At 37 East Rivercrest Dr.

I'd appreciate it anyone who has a 1960's city directory could look up 37 E. Rivercrest to see who the original owner of this house was. It appears to be a very large custom rancher, on par with some of Cliff May's work. It is completely invisible from the street. Here's an overhead shot:

The house is currently owned by John R. Hewett Jr., who appears to have owned the house since HCAD began keeping records. HCAD says 1965 and that has 10 rooms.

This bring up a subject that I've been particularly interested in for a while now: what architects built large, custom ranch houses in Houston during the mid-20th century? I know the ranch was the style of choice for most residential construction, but who made did it especially well (besides Wylie W. Vale)? Any help would be most appreciated (and I already have Alan Hess' book The Ranch House.

Thanks.
