Once, there were actual houses on Blossom St.
The Francis St address appears to be the Flower Man House!
WTH??
That house on Blossom was adorable, no doubt it’s being torn down to replace with some three-story stucco atrocity. Hope the owners were well paid at least.
So sad about the Flower Man’s house. Odd that the Chronicle said, in a 2013 article, that Project Row Houses gave Cleveland Turner a life estate in the house, when HCAD clearly shows him owning it as of 2007. It’s now owned by his estate.

The little house next door is also doomed, considering the neighbors. But hey, this is the density we all crave, no?
No Gisgo, the density we crave is density on commercial thoroughfares, not necessarily small residential streets. CVS stores on the corner of Alabama and Shepherd with large parking lots and drive through lanes and examples of Houston’s lack of density.
