8224 Long Point Dr. – Houston TX (built 1957; demolished 2015; architect: Burdette Keeland, Jr.; associate architect: Clyde Jackson)
This building, in its later years, had extensive alterations and was most recently a car stereo shop.
Excerpt and renderings from Arts and Architecture, September 1957:
A Savings and Loan building designed for the rapidly expanding residential and commercial area. The generous site permits the setting of the building in its own garden. From the parking area the visitor will move to a large washed gravel entrance pad, and from here will cross over a planting bed of ivy into the lobby. The formal structure will be further enhanced by several large trees on the site.
[…]An easy flow of space through the building is achieved with the sliding frosted glass doors. Glazed with clear transoms, the doors divide the lobby from the conference and work area. There will be a drive-in window in the work room.
