In the early 1920s, when T.W. House Jr., A.C. Guthrie, and Thomas
Ball came to the conclusion that Houston needed a new country club,
complete with an 18-hole golf course, they formed Country Club
Estates. They chose to build on land called the House tract just
west of downtown. Very quickly, 300 memberships were sold, with
each including one share of stock in the company. Within a year,
Will and Mike Hogg, along with Hugh Potter, recognized this as a
perfect idea for the bustling city of Houston. They purchased 1,100
acres, eventually creating the River Oaks Corporation. Images of
America: Houston's River Oaks takes the reader from 1923 to 1970
and tells the story of one of the most carefully planned
subdivisions in America. Today, River Oaks is known as an enviable
place to call home. The careful planning undertaken by these
Houstonians 90 years ago produced results of unmatched beauty and a
quality of life still enjoyed today.
