11010 Wickwood

Demolished


Address: 11010 Wickwood

Neighborhood: Willowick Estates

Architect: MacKie and Kamrath

Date: 1963

Comments: Quite possible Karl Kamrath's greatest commission and an organic masterpiece, the house was built for oilman George Mitchell, even appearing in Fortune magazine and in books like Ephemeral City. The lot was split into three sections and the house razed by Stuart Yudofsky, the second owner after George Mitchell.

There can't be a more maddening loss to Houston's modern architecture history than this house. I am grateful that you were able to take some pictures of it for the people like me who never got to see it.
