Thank goodness the houses on W. 24th got smashed. It’s hard to believe people had been living in them until recently, given their exceptionally poor condition.
5702 N. Braeswood was my “Vision Board” home. I would plan our family’s move while walking along the bayou. I toured it while it was for sale, which it was for a long time. It sold before we were ready to move (and it was a few tens of thousands out of our price range), and I was happy for those who would make it their home. So sad. My heart goes out to the family and all others who’ve flooded.
The house at 2216 Salisbury was once the home of famed Houston newspaper writer Sigman Byrd.
