Hosted by the 蜜桃传媒app Texas Chapter
Join us as we kick off the 2024 John Staub Awards Weekend! The reception will be held at Houston鈥檚 exclusive Bayou Club and feature a lecture from celebrated author Stephen Fox.
The Bayou Club was organized in 1938 by a group of Houstonians including William and Stephen Faris, Hugo Neuhaus, Harry Weiss, and Robert Randolph as a country retreat to provide a social and recreational context for its 79 original members.
The club grounds included the clubhouse, swimming pool, tennis courts, horse stables, blacksmith shop, and polo grounds. John Staub was a founding member along with 21 of his clients. Staub derived the design of the club house based upon the pattern of a Louisiana Creole planter鈥檚 house and modified the design by giving the arrival side a formal pedimented portico.
Quoting from Stephen Fox鈥檚 The Country Houses of John Staub, 鈥淎s a work of Architecture, it encourages, inspires, and consoles. Architecturally, the Bayou Club functions along the lines of George Marcus鈥檚 description of a trust: it works to maintain continuity, sustain belonging, and preserve identity by ensuring that succeeding generations will embrace what it offers.鈥�
