On SecondShelters.com: Houston Mansion Boasts Luxury —  and a Mysterious Owner

Share News:

It’s a home designed by a famed architect, and it is also potentially the keeper of secrets of Houston elite — and now the Davis Mansion (or the Kingston-Davis House, as it’s now called) is up for sale.

Depending on who you ask, Evalyn Davis was either romantically involved with oilman T.P. Lee, was a friend to Lee, or was romantically involved with Lee and he had something to do with the death of her husband (something he always denied).

We take a look at Evalyn Davis’ River Oaks mansion (the most expensive and largest home in Houston at the time it was built), as well as the mysterious woman, over on SecondShelters.com.

    This house is not in River Oaks – it’s in Braeswood Place – about a 15 minute or so drive from River Oaks. This is like calling Greenway Parks, Highland Park – both nice areas, but NOT the same areas at all.
