I got a note from Dorothy Topolanek Humphrey (SLHS '48) asking about W. T. Eldridge, Sr.'s home on Lakeview Drive. I didn't have much information. All I knew was that Eldridge moved into the home in 1928, and William Ward Watkin, designer of Rice Institute, was the architect.
A little research turned up the following items. I never knew the home was called 'Casa de Manana.' (Pardon the missing tilde). Watkin designed several prominent homes. I'll try to get a copy of The Houston Post article published in 1928; it may provide some interesting details.
