  5 Briarwood Ct: I wonder if St John’s is spreading north, also. That property would make a nice glebe.

  That house in RO was just renovated and now they’re going to bulldoze it? Typical of Houston. Though I fairness this is a huge lot in a very prestigious part of RO, so this was probably inevitable, but what a waste of a great house. I’m sure they care about as much as the Arnold’s did when they tore down the gorgeous Birdsall Briscoe’s Norman style Dogwoods on Lazy Lane.

  At least Mr. Nau is pretty generous in giving back to the community. But, wow. What a Dickensian teardown.

  From the US State Department website:

  In November 2001, John L. Nau, III was appointed by President George W. Bush to a four-year term as Chairman of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. He also serves as the Chairman of the Texas Historical Commission. A position appointed by the Governor of Texas that he has held since 1995.

  “Historic Preservation”? I don’t think those words mean what you think they mean.

  Wow, that is ironic. Preservation, until I want a bigger mansion, then bye bye love. Lol, and no I highly doubt this property will be an expand ok of St Johns.

  The metal roof of Aztec’s big building has been disappearing steadily in recent weeks. Aztec did fine work and it’s a shame it’s going away.
