Bang, Floyd, Caudill and many others created a simple, elegant way of living that could comfortably accommodate a large family in less than 3,000 sqft. I wish that we could take more comfort in the knowledge that these architects left us a tangible legacy in the homes and buildings that they designed. The pace of demolition has increased as more of these homes are deemed obsolete and replaced with limestone and stucco manses that look like they got lost on their way to Cinco Ranch (not that there is anything wrong with Cinco Ranch). In recognition of Mr. Lars’ contribution to our community, I’ve downloaded the membership form for HoustonMod.org and am going paypal my membership. Thank You for recalling Mr. Bang’s contribution to Houston. As a resident of Memorial Bend who enjoys greeting the new day through clerestory windows, I feel a loss.

I wish more builders would look into using these styles for subdivisions. I’ve always love this style of architecture. I wish more builders would look into using these styles for subdivisions.
