Teardowns of the week

Finding new homes for old homes
While these were listed as demolitions, it may only be partial - both 2506 Morse in Montrose (picture) and 347 W 27th in the Heights had steel beams outside waiting to lift and carry them away. While house moving isn't unheard of in Houston, we are (pleasantly) surprised, and also curious about where these smaller homes will end up since we all know the current trend is "build big" (on any size lot).

Thanks?
The rain and the holiday have held back the hum of the bulldozers a little bit this week, but that didn't stop the demolition of Bob Cohen's masterpiece the day before Thanksgiving. A passer-by asked, "that was the coolest house in Meyerland - how did this happen?" We quickly recounted the soap opera story of the ex-con, embezzlement, and an old man's "baby," but it still didn't sit well while looking at the rubble.

Also on this week's list:

• 621 E 20th (Heights/Gostick)
• 5217 Cornish (Cottage Grove)
• 1008 Quitman (AC Allen)
• 1216 Sandman (Brunner)
