Trying to save a cool mod house - General Tiki

Some of the neighbors are real mod fanatics and worked on the owner to at least try to get someone to save the house, and to his credit, he did give it a shot. Memorial Bend has been hit REALLY hard with the McMansions. This one too is on a large lot, so I am hoping it will be okay. it is a little too high for the builders I think. Many of the mod areas in town, Memorial, Meyerland, Braeswood, have been hit HARD with the builders. In my area, Glenbrook Valley, we have started the petition drive to make it Houston's first post WWII historic district. Of course it is on the "wrong side of town" for most of the McMansion builders. Which is fine with me.
