The J. W. Garrow House at 19 Courtlandt Place represents the third Birdsall Briscoe design in the neighborhood from 1914, this one a Colonial Revival/Beaux Arts hybrid.[3] John Wanroy Garrow (18791944) was from a second generation of Houston cotton merchants in his family and a president of the Houston Cotton Exchange.

#14 Courtland Place, Houston, Texas
Mrs. W. T. Carter Sr. House

The Mrs. W.T. Carter Sr. House at 14 Courtlandt Place was another Tudor-style home on the block that was designed by Birdsall Briscoe. The home was completed in 1920. W.T. "Will" Carter (18561921) built this house for his wife, Maude Holley Carter (18581929), the second home he established after moving his company headquarters and his family to Houston in 1908. Will Carter continued to spend his time managing sawmill operations in Polk County, Texas, while maintaining a mansion on Main Street. By this time, Carter owned several sawmills in East Texas, with banking and real estate interests in Houston. In 1920, he moved into the Tudor home with his wife and their daughter, Frankie Carter Randolph, who also brought her family. The patriarch died the next year.

Prior to her family locating in Courtlandt Place, Frankie Carter (18941972) attended the Baldwin School in Pennsylvania. Aubrey, her older brother, matriculated at the University of Virginia during part of her time at the Baldwin School. In 1918, Frankie married Aubrey's college classmate, Robert Decan "Deke" Randolph (18911989). Prior to their union Deke served the United States Naval Air Corps in France. In 1920, Deke and Frankie Randolph Carter moved their family to her parents' home at 14 Courtlandt Place. Deke entered the family business, working for the Carter Lumber Company. After 1924, he began a long career in banking. Frankie Carter Randolph was a founding member of the Houston Junior League and the League of Women Voters. She was the first white Houstonian to join the NAACP. She was a Democratic activist, who supported the candidacy of Adlai Stevenson for President of the United States.

And people say that part of Texas is flat. Look at that slight hill there in that road.

If you are at all into western landscapes, SH 70 has some of the best. Also passes through Turkey, Texas, home of Bob Wills.

Caprock Canyons State Park is also right there, and it's beautiful.

F.T. Rembert House
Longview, Texas

Longview's first millionaire and cotton merchant, Frank T. Rembert, married Kate Womack in 1878 and purchased this home in 1879 for $500 from Mary Bateman.

After visiting the famous World Columbian Exhibition in Chicago in 1893, famous for the late 19th century trend of classical details and the notion that "white (paint) was right," Rembert began making changes in the home and adapted it from the Queen Anne to the European Neo-Classical style.
Cotton Street was named for its appearance as "a street of cotton" when Rembert literally lined the street with cotton bales he bought from area farmers.

Upon his death in 1926, Frank left the house to his wife Kate, whose nephew John Womack Harrison, Sr. moved from Plainview with his wife and daughter to live with her. A sun porch was added in 1926 and in 1934 a back bedroom was added to provide a room for newly arrived John Harrison Jr.
The house now belongs to John Harrison and is being lovingly restored.
