So sorry the cute little house on Colquitt is being torn down. I remember a few years ago when it was on the market it was featured on Swamplot.
Good catch, FDM. We’ve added a link to our story from 2011.
Sad that someone didn’t want the house to live in more than someone wanted the land.
Sad to see 1514 Lynn View go away, it was my great aunt and uncle’s home until about 3 or 4 years ago. My Great Uncle ran the Wirt Rd Animal Clinic at Long Point and Wirt until he sold the land where the Ostioneria 7 Mares Seafood place is now.
I thought the same thing about the Colquitt house, but to be fair, it was listed as “priced at lot value” — which in the Alabama Place / Westlawn Terrace / Colquitt Court neighborhoods is apparently about $3 million an acre.
512 Dennis makes me so sad. I leased this home for years back in the 90’s and was such a sweet home. Long before this area was gentrified I was surrounded by razor-wire topped chain link fencing. I called it my “compound”. Heartbroken….
8224 Long Point was Spring Branch Savings by Burdette Keeland

El Duko, I miss the Wirt Rd animal clinic. Does anyone know who has purchased the lots on Long Point? A home builder? Henrietta, I have lived in the Spring Branch area since I moved here in “78”. I had forgotten about that building being the Savings and Loan.
thanks
crazy to see the original site plans for that Spring Branch S&L in comparison to it’s current situation, boy do things change quickly. but whats that car doing there in the first pic? way before my time but isn’t that car quite a bit older than the 50’s.
512 Dennis looks like a sears kit house and was supposedly built in 1920. What a shame!
