Would love to have one as a space, cabin getaway. My fiend and I were just there taking pictures of it. The door is off the hinges and laying inside the house. You can see where someone had it plumbed out at one time. Lots of big spiders lurking about, but it's a really cool place.

Yes the tornado left it along but my house was a direct hit. From time to time the owner will put a fresh coat of paint on it. Since I have lived across from it, it has been touched up twice. New paint, Door attached back to the hinges, replaced windows once. A few weeks ago there was a group of about 10 people taking pictures of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3358290038465876025.post-66344978075844026992015-02-11T10:14:51.733-06:002015-02-11T10:14:51.733-06:00I live about 15 minutes from there, we build fiber...I live about 15 minutes from there, we build fiberglass domes and architectural parts. It would not be hard to duplicate. But I would propose making it out of GFRC (fibermesh coated concrete) as it does not burn. I large plastic or fiberglass house is quite the fire hazard. It would probably come out cheaper in GFRC, more green, all around better except weight, a bit heavy to transport, might have to make it on site.

Some idiot put a geocache inside of it and the geocaching association refuses to acknowledge it's someone's property or house until the owners contact them at let them know. Until then, they are welcoming people to crawl around and add to it's destruction. If anyone knows, can they contact Groundspeak.com and tell them to contact the cache owner about his trespassing? or even the local authorities?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3358290038465876025.post-43644949785867678002014-03-20T22:18:16.623-05:002014-03-20T22:18:16.623-05:00I too would love to know who the owner is.

It was located in a popular shopping area just north of Hwy 59 on Kirby near River Oaks. It was moved (to where I don't know) and replaced by a free-standing Steak 'n Shake which in turn was replaced by a 12(?)-story office building in the mid '80's.<br />- freddymail@sbcglobal.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
