It was the special genius of Anwar el-Sadat that made people believe Thomas Carlyle's claim that "the history of the world is but the biography of great men." Mr. Sadat did not just make peace with Israel he made himself the personfication of it. Friends and enemies alike came to feel that the strength of the peace depended on his survival. He was fatalistic about assassins, sure that he had set an irreversible course. He thought he had harnessed diplomacy to the true character and interests of Egypt. He rebuilt the Suez cities as hostages for peace and delivered his armed forces into dependence on the United States, Israel's protector. Eventually he persuaded even the suspicious Israelis that his peace was no mere trick to regain the Sinai. And unlike other strongmen of his era, he groomed what lacks to be a strong successor, one evidently committed to th/same objectives.

The site includes a historic one-story, concrete block residence and concrete block garage. TYPE OF APPROVAL REQUESTED: Protected Landmark Designation for residence and garage. HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE SUMMARY The Minella House is a significant example of modern, residential architecture as it evolved in mid- twentieth century Houston. It is significant because of its unusual all masonry construction, contemporary design by Houston architect, Allen R. Williams, Jr. It is an example of the Century Built Homes, variations on a standark design, of which the Minella House seemed to be most fully resolved. Its owners, Angelo and Lillian Minella, owned and operated a plumbing supply company in the East End for decades. HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE Lillian and Angelo Minella were originally from the Boston area. Minella worked as a plumber at 366-374 Washington Street in the 1930s in the Brighton Center, Massachusetts commercial area, which had a large Italian-American population.i As late as 1942 Angelo and Lillian were listed in the Essex County City Directory as living on Stanwood Avenue in Gloucester, Massachusetts.ii The Minellas probably left for Texas shortly thereafter.
