A note from

MARILYN Our Dear Readers, The real estate market in Houston continues to be steady and is exhibiting signs of an upward turn with the positive news regarding the increase in the price of oil and gas. One thing is for certain, the great city of Houston is highly diversified and showcases a positive portrait regarding our world of real estate.

One of our city’s most coveted trophies is the renowned Texas Medical Center. A landmark of Texas history, it has proven untold times to be perhaps one of our brightest shining stars. Inside this issue of PROPERTIES, you will have the pleasure of reading articles peppered with compelling data as well as heartfelt stories of some extraordinary pioneers in the medical field. The overview of Monroe Dunaway Anderson’s vision is most inspiring. While the background and history of the TMC is nothing short of fascinating, this article offers details that shed light on a host of information you may not have been privileged to know previously. All of the pieces seem to fit perfectly as many of the wealthy pioneers were of the same cloth – Houston’s Texas Medical Center needs to be the world’s largest and finest. Because of collaboration on countless levels, overly generous philanthropists and a remarkable dream shared by many, a medical center that is virtually unprecedented is in place. Another article not to be missed is an insightful interview with Dr. John Mendelsohn.

The success of Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty is framed by the exceptional roster of agents associated with the firm. These professionals are acclaimed as “the best of the best“ in the industry. Their superb knowledge of the real estate market sets them apart and produces an urgency among buyers and sellers to tap their expertise time and again.

The criteria you have embraced for purchasing a home matters not. As you explore the pages of this issue, you will discover many perfect jewels. Exceptional architecture, glorious styles and overall beauty best describe the magnificent homes we have included in this issue.

Scott Butler

Architects by nature seek to shape their environment with buildings of their own design, but few are able to do it so comprehensively as Bo and Scott Butler. Brothers and business partners who both hold master’s degrees in architecture, these self-styled “urban developers” don’t just design very high-end homes; they design and develop entire neighborhoods and then build their designs themselves.

Butler Brothers operates three distinct businesses providing architectural, development and construction services. “We didn’t expect to do all three when we started,” the brothers said. “The intent was to be architects and developers but we ended up as the contractors as well in order to control the timing and quality.”

BO Butler

The brothers look for location first, not price.

When they saw the opportunity presented by a tract of secluded, wooded acreage in the heart of the River Oaks/Uptown Park nexus, they purchased the property in 2012, began to draw their plans, and Audubon Hollow was born.

“We were inspired by the architecture of Hays Towne, that synthesis of classic Acadian cottage and Creole influences that includes tall ceilings, exterior French doors with full-length shutters, and lavish use of cypress, heart of pine, and brick,” said Scott. “We called it Audubon Hollow as a way to capture the essence of the place; Audubon for John J. Audubon and his nature paintings and Hollow to reference the wooded seclusion and ravine.”

Impressive manned guard gates grant entrance to Audubon Hollow from

Briar Hollow Lane. Surrounding a tree-lined esplanade with a fountain, gardens, and a charming garconnière, homes offer custom exterior details, shuttered French doors and windows, generous porches and wraparound galleries, lush gardens, and intimate courtyards. Features include elevators, furniturequality cabinetry, rich hardwood floors, custom stone, decorative ceilings, custom doors, wood-burning fireplaces, professional-grade appliances, and security and home automation systems.

“We created Audubon Hollow for those attracted by the convenience and security of a high-rise building but don’t want to give up their traditional home lifestyle,” said Bo. “Our management company offers concierge, ‘white glove’ service that takes care of all common areas, backyards, and private pools, and keeps watch on residents’ homes when they are traveling.”

“We call ourselves ‘urban developers’ because what we do won’t translate to suburbia,” said Scott. “We strive to build the right way, not the easy way. We work from precedent architecture, going back to the root of a period, and move that precedent style forward for modern living.”

he reclusive and eccentric Dallas oil titan H. L. Hunt, already a billionaire by the late 1930s, built the Georgian Revival-style

home at 1721 River Oaks Boulevard for Frania Tye in 1939. In the 76 years since, the elegant home has boasted a series of high-profile owners including a Houston construction magnate, from whom the home was purchased by the present owners in 1997.

The brick residence was substantially enhanced and updated in a lengthy and meticulous renovation undertaken by the present owners from 1997 to 2000. Renowned architect Martha Bute, working with interior designer Bonnie Harding, restored and enhanced the home’s innate elegance with stunning reproduction period paneling; exquisite Scalamandre, Schumacher, Thibaut, Osbourne & Little, Clarence House, and Brunschwig & Fils wallpapers and fabrics; Schenck & Company parquetry floors; and lavish, Sheryl Wagner marble fixtures. Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems were replaced, an elevator added, and smarthome technology installed to bring the home to today’s standards of communication, automation, convenience, and security.

Brick pillars and automated iron gates secure the home’s driveway at the boulevard entrance. The open, light-filled rotunda reception hall has an inlaid marble floor and magnificent serpentine staircase.

Interiors are designed for entertaining large gatherings and encompass an impressive paneled library; an expansive garden room clad in eggshellblue French-style paneling that transitions into a glass-walled solarium; a grand formal dining room and inviting informal dining room; a lavish, marbleclad, mirrored, fully-equipped bar and lounge with a reconstructed Russian parquetry floor; and, reminiscent of a more refined age, “ladies” and “gentlemen” powder rooms. Views of the stone terraces, pool, extensive gardens, and side patios enhance the rooms through banks of windows and tall French doors.

MEDICAL CITY The world’s

LARGEST

medical center aims to be not only bigger, but also better.

he operating adjective for Houston’s Texas Medical Center is largest, as in world’s largest. Situated on a thousand acres south of Downtown, with 56

institutions employing more than a hundred thousand people, educating fifty thousand students of the life sciences, greeting seven million visitors a year, providing 9,000 hospital beds and 200,000 surgeries a year, the TMC may be named a center, but it is really a medical city within the city of Houston.

Like many great things, the Texas Medical Center was born of both luck and vision, and since the birth happened in Houston, it was sired by cotton and nurtured by oil. The conception began in 1936 when Monroe Dunaway Anderson, the wealthy founder of a Houston cotton brokerage, foresaw his death. Anderson had grown up poor in rural Tennessee and made his way in Texas through thrift and careful management. Once he gave his nephew a new cap pistol and a quarter.

Desperate to fire the gun, the boy asked about caps.

Uncle Mon had a roll in his pocket, but to get them, the boy had to give him the quarter back. In Anderson’s mind, the best gift was a lesson in life.

As the chief financial officer of the Anderson, Clayton & Company cotton brokerage, Anderson was known as a gruff, penny-pinching executive with some hidden soft spots who steered his firm through the Great Depression. A bachelor, he lived in Downtown hotels, and never bought a house until his final, yearlong illness. His sole indulgence, beginning in 1912, was the purchase of four Cadillacs during his lifetime.

When he was in his early 60s, and sensing he was driving his last Cadillac, Anderson called two of his best friends and business associates together to create a foundation. In creating the M.D. Anderson Foundation, he was not only giving a gift to the city, but also saving his company from the financial struggle of having to buy his share of the company back from his heirs. The foundation must have pleased him as much as the cap pistol and the quarter.

eart disease was another matter. In 1948 Dr. Michael DeBakey became the chief of surgery at the Baylor College of Medicine

and turned it, and by association, the Texas Medical Center, into a place renowned for heart surgery. DeBakey was an ambitious man. By most accounts, he didn’t want just to succeed, he wanted to dominate. He had a reputation as a skillfully polite and diplomatic man to most of the world, but a ruthlessly critical boss to those who worked with him. He was determined to out-work his colleagues and his students. He began with complex vascular surgery, replacing damaged blood vessels with Dacron walls and doing creative work-arounds in which plugged vessels were disconnected from healthier ones. He is widely regarded as the pioneer in this surgery.

inquiry was called for. Cooley was condemned by the American College of Surgeons. DeBakey called the operation a childish and unethical act to achieve a first in medical history. The feud was featured in a cover story in LIFE magazine. Litigation followed. It never became clear how Cooley obtained the artificial heart and DeBakey refused to testify against Cooley. In 2007, DeBakey, age 99, in a wheelchair recovering from a heart operation done by one of his protégés, and Cooley, 87, publically patched things up as best they could. A year later, DeBakey died.

While feuds create publicity, they are not the stuff that drives medicine forward. Its current CEO, Dr. Robert C.

Recently he was in Australia. After that he was headed to China. “The

During his presidency, John Mendelsohn, M.D., saw the institution more than double in size and launched MD Anderson’s largest fundraising campaign, Making Cancer History®: The Campaign to Transform Cancer Care.

1

What has been your greatest memory in medicine?

My most vivid memory was when Dr. Ki Hong called me to come to his clinic right away. He showed me the picture of a large tumor on the chest wall of a patient, from two months earlier. On that date he had started treatment with Erbitux, a monoclonal antibody therapy developed in my laboratory. Then he introduced me to the patient, and we examined her. The lesion on her chest had nearly disappeared. Dr. Hong told me, “John, your therapy works!”

2

What are your keys to success and how do you define success?

Success for me is discovering or creating something new that helps to improve people’s lives. A key is leading by committing to a vision, listening well and basking in the success of others.

3

Where do you draw your inspiration from?

I am inspired by the magnificence of the biologic sciences, the needs of my cancer patients, the rewards from working together with other dedicated professionals and the love and support of my family.

4

What was the best advice you were ever given?

The best advice came from my uncle: to live every day so that you can look forward with the greatest possible hopes and look back with the fewest possible regrets.

5

What does “home” mean to you?

“Home” is the places where Anne and I have lived, worked and played together, and raised our three sons, and now also welcome their wives and our grandchildren.

6

What has been your biggest obstacle in life, and how did you overcome it?

There is always the need for more people, resources, time and wisdom in order to accomplish my aspirations.

7

If you could have an in-depth conversation over dinner with anyone in history, who would you have it with and why?

I would pick Augustus Caesar. I was born on his birthday.

He entered a turbulent world and created peace and stability that lasted many years.

8

What did you love most about living in Houston?

What I love most in Houston is its warm, friendly, supportive, interesting and interested people—my friends and colleagues.

Indeed, the TMC is a place with a reputation

for innovation and collaboration – it has been for decades. The University of Texas’ MD Anderson Hospital of Cancer and Research (now the MD Anderson Cancer Center) arrived on the scene in 1942. The next year, the city of Houston set aside the 134 acres next to Hermann Hospital to develop a Hospital District. Baylor College of Medicine joined the growing cluster. The first coronary artery bypass was performed at the TMC in 1964 at The Methodist Hospital; four years later, the first successful heart transplant was performed in the Texas Heart Institute.

Over the decades, the TMC has become synonymous as a place where innovative, leading-edge research is developed, saving lives and changing the face of modern medicine.

“Research is a multi-billion dollar annual

business,” says Jankowski. “And nearly eleven percent of the jobs in the Houston region are in the health care sector. The TMC keeps expanding, it keeps improving and expanding the work it does. That brings massive international prestige to Houston.”

Perdue predicts as the TMC continues

to grow, collaborative projects there will as well. He figures that venture capital for biomedical fields will increase, along with medical research. Yet there’s also a trickledown effect to the ever-growing TMC. As more jobs are created in the health care fields, more professionals are arriving here to work within the TMC boundaries. Those employees are buying homes, dining out, and spending money on retail services, all of which helps local businesses.

“The TMC really drives the local property

market,” Perdue says. “Along with Downtown, it’s one of the region’s largest centers of employment, and as it grows, I think you’ll see property values increase there a little faster than the rest of the city. The Texas Medical Center will really continue to be strong for the greater Houston economy.”
