tomv Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Well, since indie films are starting to pay attention to Houston, it might do well on the indie circuit, but who knows. And the '60's are very hot at the moment! Producers? I am available as a consultant! Huckster House, 811 Bayridge Rd. Still there, I believe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NenaE Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Wow... I've never heard of this Huckster House... GoogleEarth takes me to a (newer than 1960's) neighborhood in League City. Got any details on the location? Looks like it was maybe on the West side of the island... those low trees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilioScotia Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) Search the address on Google Maps. 811 Bayridge Rd. La Porte. The house is ON the shore of Galveston Bay. Edited July 4, 2014 by FilioScotia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NenaE Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 The house in post #5 does not look like the one located at 811 Bayridge Rd. Am I missing something? I'm familiar with that estate, but didn't realize Hofheinz bought it from the original owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilioScotia Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) The house in the recent satellite view on Google Maps looks vaguely like the one in the older photo tomv put up. That older photo was taken a few years ago, and the house has apparently been remodeled since then. I'm confident it's the same house. Think about it. Roy woulda bought a big old bay house in an exclusive La Porte neighborhood overlooking the bay, NOT a new house in a master planned community in League City.

NenaE Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Ok... I see it now. Yes, still there, with a round gazebo turret. GoogleEarth took me to the 601 Bayridge Rd. house, originally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
