cohen house           year built: 1964 architect/designer: Robert Cohen location: meyerland status: demolished Houston Chronicle article by Madeleine McDermott Hamm (May 11, 2003) houstonist write-up return home Bob Cohen built this house - which he called "his baby" - in 1964. It consisted more than 15,000 pounds of steel, over 100 piers, Arkansas ledge stone facade, the white plated carousel-like roof over the rotunda, built-in furniture (from cabinets to an aquarium), and a boomerang-esque pool in the backyard. The Cohens moved from their home around 2003 because of accessibility issues, and it was sold to lawyer John O'Quinn in mid-2004. Under O'Quinn's ownership the house deteriorated and he sold it to Granit builders who demolished the home. >>mouseover images for descriptions - click for full size<< ^all images on this site are licensed pages last updated: 11.06.08 08:30   optimized for Firefox browsers
