Casual Observer Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 There ya go! Its hard to see from this angle, but there are two smaller golden gold-balls on eitherside, along with wide staircases on either side that go all the way to the top.So.. what in the hell is this place? I drove by about a month ago and it looked nearly abandoned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westguy Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 It's not a mosque. There was a thread about it on the old HAIF. It was meant to be part of a Taoist temple complex until their spiritual leader was deported back to China. The project's been halted ever since.

TJones Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Gto, that Temple has been there since about the mid 90's. I want to say there is another around the area with eclectic architecture similar to this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJones Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) The Mosque I am thinking of is around the 11200 block of Harwin. I think Hakeem Olajuwon owns it also.http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=11222+harwin,+houston,tx.&sll=29.715875,-95.567735&sspn=0.002134,0.003449&ie=UTF8&ll=29.716446,-95.56774&spn=0.001067,0.001725&t=h&z=19gto, I was looking at your picture again, and I think a golden orb has been removed on that right side.
