From the write up, I can’t figure out why on Earth these three homes were given “historic landmark” status. The cited owners weren’t that significant and the homes certainly lack curb appeal. I guess the current owners wanted to lower their taxes and have friends at city hall.
SAVE THE ANTHILLS! Houston has very few ‘natural’ (somewhat) wooded areas. One of the few places in the city you can lose yourself in nature. The project must be stopped!
“Modern Hill Country?” Really? Oh, what the tastemakers of Cinco Ranch have wrought…
