Billboard House: No Reason for a Front Porch Anyway

House with Billboard at 4743 Banning Dr., Afton Oaks, Houston

With their Afton Oaks neighbors up in arms over their enterprising 90-foot-tall front-yard billboard, the owners of the home at the corner of Banning and Vossdale have apparently decided there won’t be much need to hang out on the front porch anymore. A Swamplot reader drove by the site Friday and sends in photos and comments:

Yes, the driveway is now where the front porch once was. Also, every shade on the house was drawn. I wonder if they have gotten threats from this? Oh wait, this is Afton Oaks. Of course they have.

The reader, who asked to be called “Buildergeek,” also reports on the yard improvements described in the Afton Oaks eNews:

As for landscaping, if you call not mowing a tuft of grass and leaving a mud track where your old sidewalk used to be landscaping, they did a really good job.

Below the fold: Buildergeek’s view from the front.
