In May 1936, Snedden & Young, architects and builders, announced the construction of two modernistic apartment houses at 1933 and 1937 Dryden Road in Southgate near Rice University. The buildings are among Houston’s few surviving examples of Streamline Moderne architecture, a style that was very popular in the years before World War II. Morningstar Construction & Development plans to demolish them and build a mid-rise residential complex on the site.
