Hal Thompson received a master's degree from MIT in 1906 and that Northeastern influence is shown. Worth noting other MIT grads who were standout architects included Richard Morris Hunt, Wilson Eyre, Ogden Codman, Howard Shaw and Francis Hoppin.

Another MIT grad was architect John Staub (d.1981) who apprenticed under the great Harrie T. Lindeberg. (Lindeberg himself designed a 1920 home in Houston) Staub is considered perhaps the most notable Houston 'domestic architecture' professional during the glory days with Thompson a close second.

Staub and Thompson were the go-to architects of the wealthy families in Dallas and Houston in the early to mid 20th Century.]]>Jan 26th 2010 5:41PMhttp://www.luxist.com/2010/01/26/armstrong-parkway-estate-of-the-day/http://www.luxist.com/2010/01/26/armstrong-parkway-estate-of-the-day/
