When the summer heat was just too much for Houstonians during the first 40 years of the last century, those with means escaped to a shady spot along Buffalo Bayou called Longbow Lane. Families built massive, multi-acre estates there, complete with stables, swimming pools, and hunting lodges. In this pre-World War II world, the homes of Longbow Lane became a world unto themselves, where the very privileged lived very well. Now, a new generation of well-heeled Houstonian can be part of that history.
