Don Julio Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Found this ad in the book "River Oaks: A Pictorial Presentation" (nd, c.1930). Does anybody have any issues of "The Gargoyle," the magazine for the discriminating Houstonian? http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/1546/houstongargoylead1930lo.jpg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sevfiv Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 The Houston Gargoyle is great - Rice and UH both have it. That's where I got the ads for Braeswood:http://arch-ive.org/archive/braeswood-development-advertisements/Southwood:http://arch-ive.org/archive/southwood-houston/and the individual River Oaks homes:http://arch-ive.org/archive/2124-looscan/http://arch-ive.org/archive/3032-san-felipe/http://arch-ive.org/archive/2128-del-monte-dr/http://arch-ive.org/archive/2217-looscan/http://arch-ive.org/archive/2117-chilton/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NenaE Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Trailing a bit...but I gotta say, sevfiv, great work on the "arch-ive" - neighborhood/ residential research...the photo documentation (of the original home styles before demolition) is priceless, to some of us. Wow, look what you can find at the libraries. I love to see the old ads with the development info. Thank you. But are there any restrictions entering the Rice campus library? Do you need to have current college student status? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevfiv Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 ^Thank you! Hopefully in another week or two I will have the "makeover" done and it will be back in business.Rice library is open to the public (during public hours) but you need photo identification to enter.
