Highrise Tower Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 While reading The Thresher dated November 14, 1952 I noticed an article with the term Post Oak Stables. I did some research and found out there used to be both a Polo Association and a stables in a Post Oak Field. I'd love to hear more about this. I know the HPD has their (old) stables on North Post Oak Road. Would that general area be the old Post Oak Stables (and fields)? I believe Jim Abercrombie and Leopold Meyer's Pin Oak Stables was originally located on Post Oak Road? I'll have to find that article again. This might be the original location of Pin Oak Stables. A decade later and the Pin Oak Stables was listed as being on 610/Westpark in Bellaire where the current Pin Oak Middle School, Houston Community College, and Home Depot are.. 5601 W Loop S, Houston, TX 77081. The book "Houston, a history and guide" published in 1942 has this blurb about the fields in Uptown: Polo: Houston Riding and Polo Club, 8M. SW. On Westheimer Rd., Adm. 50c. Post Oak Road Field, across Post Oak Rd. From Memorial Park, Adm. Free. Rice Thresher ad: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted August 27, 2023 Author Share Posted August 27, 2023 I discovered an oval track on Westheimer Road near Post Oak Blvd. The address, today, would be 2500 West Loop South. The Google Earth aerial is dated 1944. Would this be either: Houston Riding and Polo Club, 8M. SW. On Westheimer Rd., Adm. 50c. Post Oak Road Field, across Post Oak Rd. From Memorial Park, Adm. Free. The original location of Pin Oak Stables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
