Ken S. Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Does anyone know where I might locate a photo of the now-demolished Dillingham residence that once stood at 1214 Rusk Street in Houston? Architect George Dickey claimed to be the designer of the home, but it was actually a slight variant of design #485 published by Robert W. Shoppell in "Shoppell's Modern Houses" (1887). Any help would be greatly appreciated! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmac Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Remote possibility there might be a photo of it in this collection at Rice -- https://legacy.lib.utexas.edu/taro/ricewrc/00020/rice-00020.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken S. Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 (edited) Those are great! Thank you so much! I was able to download a hi-res image from the Houston view book right away, and put in a request for a hi-res image of the second one (the photograph). I had only found one small photo of the house in a magazine article from 1990: http://offcite.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2010/03/FromMailHouseToYourHouse_Culbertson_Cite24.pdf Edited September 3, 2019 by Ken S. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
