Tour locations
•1203 Edwards Street in the First Ward, an 1899 Victorian cottage
•716 Sabine Street in the Old Sixth Ward Historic District, an 1872 Carpenter Gothic cottage and compatible new construction
•3405 Meadow Lake Lane in River Oaks, a distinctive 1947 John Staub-designed home
•3229 Groveland Lane in River Oaks, a 1936 Regency Revival-style Birdsall Briscoe home
•4111 Drummond Street in Ayrshire/Braes Heights, a 1953 contemporary home by Lars Bang

I think old houses are cool, so the two homes in First and Sixth Ward will be wonderful to view. A fully restored mid century modern home though just pulls you back to a simpler time.

For you MCM fans, a couple of places to look for these homes:
Oak Forest Homes,   Timbergrove Manor/Lazybrook, Spring Branch.
