How long has that tower been there? Looks like it was photoshopped out of the HAR listing, haha. EDIT: and that water plant on the east side of the development is gone too.

The back street is Gramercy and during the 70's and 80's we lived in our first home near the cul de sac. St. Vincents football field is just on the other side of poor man's ditch. The water tower  was there back then. One time they drained the tower and the water poured out and it reached the front of the lot. Southside police were out blocking the lane  all day. The rectangular shaped residence  just behind the tower on Gramercy was designed by Chris Robertson probably around 2008.

 

He has a new  interesting residence under construction just east of Mandell where  Milford and Banks split. That neighborhood has developed a collection of residences designed by well known architects in Houston. Arquitectonica is on the corner of Mandell and Milford. At the fork to the  right on Milford, is  Natalye Appell's post modern bungalow   and next door is the construction site for Chris's. A little farther down is a southwestern adobe by Michael Landrum and then several more on both sides of Milford.  Sorry I just don't know remember who did what. Another Arquitectonica townhouse cluster at the other end, followed by Bill Stern's residence.

Wayne Braun and Karen Lantz's residences are on the western end of Banks at the fork, closest to Mandell. Another early apartment project I believe by Howard Barnstone on the east end. If you haven't seen them its nice neighborhood to drive though
