Owens The spellcheckcT on my computer does not recognize "placelessness" as a word, and it is not in the unabridged dictionary. However, an internet search pulled 2,000 hits for the tenn, and the meaning is readily comprehended. "Placelessness" is a mental response to a generic environment. It can mean disorientation, caused by the disappearance of landmarks, or alienation, resulting from peoples' dislike of their surroundings. It describes a place with­ out heritage, one that lacks identity or is artificial and meaningless.

Not only were women instrumental in creating the city’s cultural institutions such as the Houston Symphony, Alley Theater, and Houston Public Library, but female community leaders were also responsible for social and political reforms including the integration of public facilities in Houston and the campaign for women’s suffrage.

Wareing HPO FILE NO: 11L258 APPLICANT: Same DATE ACCEPTED: 1-11-2012 LOCATION: 3511 Del Monte Drive - River Oaks HAHC HEARING: 2-9-2012 SITE INFORMATION: Lot 5 and Tracts 4 & 6A, Block 6, River Oaks Country Club Estates, City of Houston, Harris County, Texas. The site includes a two-story, brick and cypress shingle clad residence. TYPE OF APPROVAL REQUESTED: Landmark Designation HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE SUMMARY The John F. Staub House was designed by renowned Houston architect John Staub in 1925. Staub opened his Houston architectural practice in 1923 and his first independent commission in the city was the River Oaks Country Club. Staub is best known for his elegant single-family houses and is closely identified with the River Oaks neighborhood. Between 1924 and 1958, he designed thirty-one houses in River Oaks. Outside of River Oaks, Staub houses from this period were built in Broadacres, Courtlandt Place, and the Fort Worth neighborhood of River Crest. Additional Staub houses may be found in Beaumont, Dallas, and Memphis, Tennessee, some of which are open to the public as museums. In association with Birdsall Briscoe Staub designed Bayou Bend, the home of Ima Hogg, daughter of Mike Hogg, the developers of River Oaks. In addition to residential work Staub designed the parish house of Palmer Memorial Church, the Junior League Building, and the Bayou Club in Houston. His firm designed buildings for the campuses of the University of Texas, Rice University, University of Houston, Texas Medical Center, and John Reagan High School.

Theme Song “Standing before Us” These are the women who throughout the decades have led us and helped us to know where we have come from and where we are going, the women who’ve helped us to grow. (Chorus) Standing before us, making us strong, lending their wisdom to help us along, sharing a vision, sharing a dream, touching our thoughts, touching our lives like a deep- flowing stream—touching our thoughts, touching our lives like a deep-flowing stream. These are the women who joined in the struggle, angry and gentle and wise. These are the women who called us to action, who called us to open our eyes. These are the women who nurtured our spirits, the ones on whom we could depend. These are the women who gave us their courage, our mentors, our sisters, our friends. These are a few of the women who led us. We know there have been many more. We name but a few, yet we honor them all, those women who went on before.
