f95kai Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I dunno, maybe, say, Wannabe-Romanic church style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pineda Posted July 12, 2005 Author Share Posted July 12, 2005 Thanks, f95kai! I "googled" Romanic church and it does match this style. When I go, I'll be on the lookout for any gargoyles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pineda Posted July 12, 2005 Author Share Posted July 12, 2005 This is a wonderful website I came across in searching for information about historical homes in Huntsville. A group was formed out of concerns that Huntsville historical homes were being razed/burned/neglected/forgotten and this website is the result of that concern. I wonder if we have anything similar to this cataloguing in the Houston area.Historic Huntsville website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a great old neighborhood. I waged an unsuccesful fight against the people that bought the house and put in a condo complex. There was a big Victorian down the street they trucked out to replace with townhomes. I think bit by bit Ave O has lost a lot of it's great old houses.It seems like Houston isn't the only one with it's old neighborhoods in jeopardy.

pineda Posted July 13, 2005 Author Share Posted July 13, 2005 Are you talking about Azalea Trace on Avenue O and 14th, as far as the condo complex goes? Did you remember the old Ashley place, another big white Queen Anne/Colonial on the corner of Avenue N and 14th? It's a four-plex nowadays, but still beautiful.

UrbaNerd Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 yeah the faux half-timbering is a trademark of the tudor revival style<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I agree, and the curved roof somewhat resembles some French architecture. I'd say it is a Tudor+French styled house. Quite charming, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pineda Posted July 13, 2005 Author Share Posted July 13, 2005 I found out today three things about this house:1. It was built for a famous baseball player2. It was built in the 1920's not the 1960's3. It's under a working contract for full asking price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 To me it appeared to be "suburban cottage" style... and it definitely looked 1920's rather than 1960's... Nice looking home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest danax Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I found out today three things about this house:1. It was built for a famous baseball player2. It was built in the 1920's not the 1960's3. It's under a working contract for full asking price<{POST_SNAPBACK}>That makes more sense now. It's definitely a Tudor influenced bungalow with Spanish colonial interior touches, like the arches and chandelier. They were popular in the 20s and 30s. Still quite a few around Houston, not as fancy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbigtex56 Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Those diamond-paned windows are also charectoristic of the Tudor style.I agree that the curved portion of the roof looks vaguely French - I've seen similar rooflines on thatch roofed English cottages.
