Maybe the concert posters were for shows there. Dr. Watkins also owns an entertainment center way down off S Post Oak. Maybe the concert posters were for shows there.

Seriously! What the hell? I would kill to know what the original intended purpose was for this place. It looks like an asylum designed to drive people even crazier. I just…the ceilings!!! Seriously!

The rehab thing is just my guess, though why they would have a big swimming pool, a 7 car garage, and tacky residential decor for a rehab facility is _anyone's_ guess. There is very little that I or any of the other HAIFers have been able to find about these houses or their owner(s). They look vacant and are at the corner of Kirby and CR 59 just south of Pearland Town Center. Who knows.

You wanna know what's even stranger? Next door to this bad boy is one almost identical that is about 1/3 again bigger, also with a 7-car garage. According to the HAIF thread I stole this from (last summer) it belongs to a Ulysses Watkins, MD. I'm guessing it was planned as a rehab facility, judging from the tee-tiny bedroom windows. Check out the address on Live Search and you can see both of these beauties! No, I’m pretty sure the drop ceilings are in the main house. You wanna know what’s even stranger?

Woo-woo.... Damn, that place is hideous. Drop ceilings and flourescent lights throughout. The ex-racer in me would get all jiggy with that garage, though. I made the honorable mention list! Woo-woo….

All those drop ceilings weren't in the main house? I don't think anybody would have got this one, but it is an interesting find. Could this be the next polygamist ranch site? So wait!
