And you may tell yourself, this is not my beautiful house?!
Wow look at this. Takes me back to 1920.
JK I’m not that old, but how cool: gravel driveway, big trees, just so cute IMHO…
Woodland Heights. WHY AREN’T YOU LISTENING TO ME!!!! You are under attack. STOP THE MODERN VICTORIAN FARMHOUSES BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!!! THEY WILL EAT YOUR BABIES AND YOUR BUNGALOWS!!!!
Swamplot, I know you wanted to used Talking Heads reference, but I’m confused. I believe that’s a photo of 307 E. 26th. Old School’s freak out still applies.
Photos available of properties aren’t always the ones mentioned in the title.
Dang Old School! You’ve been unusually animated lately. Did the good folks at Pfizer run out of something?
It’s implied, though, don’t you think, that the house shown is 617 Byrne, which is also Woodland Heights, I believe. Here’s 617 Byrne, which may already be scrapped: https://www.google.com/maps/place/617+Byrne+St,+Houston,+TX+77009/@29.7845846,-95.3786348,3a,75y,10.33h,87.1t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s7TdVawpFn2wRLYv88Mxv3w!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!4m5!3m4!1s0x8640b8ba1b420b4b:0x9ef5ffcdb6cb120c!8m2!3d29.7847583!4d-95.3786397
Hope the link works; I googled it.
@Darby Mom, photo credits are usually posted at the bottom of each article. In this case, they say “Photo of 307 E. 26th St.: HAR.”
