I can see where some ideas came from.

Is somewhat impressive in its own right. I looked on Google Maps and found the lot as described by Marchbanks. The sign out front says it's 105 West Walcott, and it's a shingle-sided, split level ranch, T-shaped in plan view. On the east side of the lot is what appears to be stonework from Oakland Heights' original foundation walls, backfilled with dirt and covered with grass, creating a terraced yard. Yeah, I'd live there.

If you look at the street view on Googlemaps, you can make out what I believe to be the right side foundation still there including the stairway going up on the side of the gazebo looking porch. Fascinating.

(Thank you Marchbanks for the address info).

You can't find this house because it was torn down in the 1950s. Oakland Heights stood on the western half of the block bounded by North Austin Street, West Neely Avenue, North Houston Street, and West Walcott Avenue. The modern-day address would be 107 West Walcott.

It was built shortly after 1887 by Dexter Walcott, for whom the street was named. Unfortunately, he didn't get to enjoy it much; he died suddenly and his widow had to superintend completion.

Has anyone cracked that house is for the birds?

But seriously, it's a fascinating house and I would like to know more about it -- when was it built and where can it be found on Google Maps? Comanche is a very small town but I can't find it.

The open window of that turret room probably has resulted in a massive pigeon-dropping mess.
