Despite being marketed previously as a potential site for up to 15 freestanding townhomes, the townhome-fringed lot at the corner of Houston Ave. and Spring St. now sports a TABC permit notification instead. A reader caught some evening views of the corner and the sign announcing mixed-beverage and late-night plans for its little 1996 building (which names Spring Street Beer and Wine Garden as the incoming occupant). New owners (at least the 6th to purchase the property since 2005, per county records) purchased the property in the fall, and the Attack of the Killer Condos mural previously facing the Heights Hike & Bike Trail along Spring St. has already been painted over:

The definition of a townhome is a multi-story house in a modern housing development which is attached to one or more similar houses by shared walls.
So if the homes are freestanding with no shared walls, they are not townhomes,
Are you sure the property was sold or did they just lease this space (which had been a bar previously)?
It’s station 5, and that used to be my house.
Hi Spencer! Are you talking about this one? : http://www.houstonfirestation.com/
Hi Wade! Updated to clarify that the property did change hands in the fall, per county records.
