      •  DoneUnfortunately I had to take these from the street, so there are some trees obstructing the view, but I've got a gallery of the photos I took here. I talked to the guard at the gate and she was fairly unhelpful (refusing to confirm that this is actually the right house, for example), but she did say I could leave a card and ask permission to come on the property and take photos. I did not do this, since I am not usually in River Oaks, but if someone wants to take better photos, I've had good luck in just asking people if I can snap a few photos.0x0077BE [talk/contrib] 21:21, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
