One of my lost photographic opportunities. I still feel disappointed every time I walk past Threshold and Union Houses.

This was one of the many early offices of BBC TV, accomodating overspill from both Television Centre and Lime Grove studios.

The BBC never owned the building, and around 2000, they decided to let the lease lapse. In doing so, they had to return it to its original condition, and as part of the renovations, the beautiful circa 1960 lettering, which jutted out above the door, was torn off.

This was a huge shame, as the doorway proclaimed the building to be the home not of BBC TV or BBC 1, but the BBC Television Service. Fantastic. And I didn't photograph it in time. :-(

You can still just see the shadow of them. Mouse over the photo to see the note, showing you the full text.

For many years the Doctor Who production office was in this building (or Union House, adjacent)

House layout on TV, made from two shipping containers in Seattle, Washington. I think this was on HGTV. Great idea!

This house on Blackstone in Hyde Park is a lovely Victorian from 1886, designed by the architectural firm of Flanders & Zimmerman. It is a private home now, but some quick research in the Tribune archives reveals an interesting past. While I didn't unearth much about the early days of the house, it was the residence of one Oliver F. Smith until his passing in 1940, at which time an estate auction was held in the house. It was home to the Holtzman family in the late 1940s; two sons of the family attended the University of Chicago in those days, when receiving a scholarship or earning a BA merited you a mention in the paper. By 1951, the house had become the Crossroads Student Center. Crossroads was a program of the Catholic Lay Auxilliary of Missions, specifically employing American and European social workers "to convey the meaning and hope of American democracy thru the plain and simple medium of kindness." Offering language classes, cultural enrichment, student groups, and informal support of various kinds, this little house served thousands of foreign college students each year, of all races and religions. It was bursting at the seams, and plans were announced in 1961 to build a new building. Nothing seems to have come from the plan, but Crossroads soldiered on in this house through at least 1972. After that, I can't figure out what happened, or how the home came back into use as a private residence. One can only imagine the fascinating and important people who passed through that distinctive recessed porch over the years.

I saw this house as I was driving around the Third Ward of Houston early this morning. I started taking photographs of it, and then the owner of the house, Cleveland, came out to say hello. He was jovial and kind, and I was thrilled that I got to meet him!

When I look at this photo in retrospect, it makes me think of the burden of convention that so many of us carry on our respective shoulders. Cleveland repudiates convention, and he is the more endearing because of it.
