Photo 33-BHR-1

Comments

This farm with greenhouse had its entrance where the warehouse driveway at 18611 FM 529 is currently. The silos seen in the far upper left of the photo can be found at the abandoned lake behind where this farm was located. The area was a sand pit until the mid-90's when a developer planned to build lakefront homes on the property. Contractors dug a lake and hit a water table that filled it with natural spring water. But plans fell through and the land has been sold several times since. The lake remains and much like 'The Cliff's' in Katy (a planned landfill that went awry when a bulldozer hit a spring and a large lake was born), 'The Pit' attracts kids who swim and party causing the usual problems.
