Save the bricks!
While we have seen a lot of wasteful demolition over the past two weeks, we're happy to report that more and more parts of houses are being salvaged (and hopefully reused/recycled) - this week 5550 Candlewood in Briargrove (picture), 741 Rocky River in Tanglewood (picture), and 1314 South Blvd. in historic Broadacres (pictured) were stripped down and paletted up.
741 Rocky River is just down the street from the Ralph Anderson, Jr. house at 695 Rocky River that was torn down in early October, and 1314 South, while situated between works by Staub, Briscoe, and Watkin, couldn't escape the will of its new owner Jim Crane (yep, that Jim Crane). Oddly enough, Mr. Crane was involved in the renovation of the 1904 Commercial National Bank building that won a Good Brick Award in 2002 from the Greater Houston Preservation Alliance.
