The site includes a two-story office building and attached one-story former manufacturing building. TYPE OF APPROVAL REQUESTED: Landmark and Protected Landmark Designation HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE SUMMARY The Star Engraving Company Building at 3201 Allen Parkway was designed in 1930 by architect R.B. Steele in the Spanish Mediterranean-style and built on a small bluff overlooking Buffalo Bayou. For nearly half a century, the Star Engraving Company manufactured and sold high school class rings and other commencement-related products, such as engraved diplomas and graduation announcements. Incorporated in Houston in 1911, the company’s trade territory grew to encompass 16 Southern states. The Star Engraving Company is the most intact commercial building designed by architect Steele, who practiced in Houston from 1892 until his death in 1936. Steele’s extant body of work includes the Henke Building on Market Square, Baptist Temple in the Heights, and Sidney Lanier Middle School. Steele also designed the first suburban-style auto-oriented grocery store in Houston in 1923 for the Henke-Pillot grocery chain on Travis Street. Constructed in 1925-26, Allen Parkway linked Houston’s downtown with the new garden suburb of River Oaks.

The building on the site is an historic brick residence. TYPE OF APPROVAL REQUESTED: Landmark Designation HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE SUMMARY: The Tuttle House at 2223 Inwood Drive is located in Section One of River Oaks, one of the earliest sections of the neighborhood. The house, designed in the Manorial style, was designed by architect William D. Bordeaux. Although Bordeaux worked in Houston for only a short time, he designed another of Houston's notable buildings, Isabella Court, a 1929 Spanish Revival apartment building on Main Street. Since its completion in 1932, the Tuttle House has been owned by only two families, the Tuttles and the Murphys. Dr. L. L. D. Tuttle, Sr., was a well-known doctor in Houston for almost 50 years. He was one of the first interns at Hermann Hospital during its opening year in 1925, and later served as Chief of the Surgical Staff of Methodist Hospital for almost 20 years. Dr. Tuttle’s children also made significant contributions to Houston. His daughter, Yvonne Tuttle Streit, founded the Briarwood School and the Brookwood Community, two establishments that have made life more fulfilling for many mentally impaired Texans.

In fact, it's hard to believe that just over a year ago, Hurricane Harvey'sdestructive path ripped through the city, as it now seems more vibrant than ever. I've been visiting H-Town to see my sister and her familyfor more than a decade and in many ways feelmuch like an honorary Texan and local Houston. Sure, you'll spend time in a car, as the city is connected by vast highways. But followthe golden brick road because it leads creative clusters, including Downtown, River Oaks, West University, the Museum District, and Upper Kirby and Memorial. Here are a sampling of splashy debuts as well as a fewvenerable spots. Emmaline. PHOTO BY JULIE SOEFER / COURTESY OF EMMALINE.
