OUSTON — Developers
ifendoned a three-year effort
to commercialize the historic
tansion of former Texas Gov.
Jss Sterling and sold the bay
front property to a Houston
Businessman for use as a private
home.
An attorney for the Maison
nche Corp. Tuesday re
eled that the firm sold the 5.G
estate to businessman
James P. Osbourn for an undis-
llosed price.
■ Osbourn said he planned to
lefurbish the estate for use as a
lesidence.
B Former Texas Gov. Ross
.Sterling built the mansion in
|l927, incorporating many de-
Bn features of the White
Bpuse. It has been Sold several
times since then, and has been
vacant for seven years.
The sale of the property ends
a lengthy controversy between
developers who wanted to build
38 condominiums on the prop
erty, located in Morgan’s Point
about 25 miles east of Houston,
and city officials who wanted the
property to retain its residential
zoning.
“I hope it’s over,” said Mor
gan’s Poiru Mayor John McCul-
ley. “I think it is very worthwhile
that we are able to maintain the
residential integrity of the com
munity.”
Attorney Roland Sledge, who
represented Maison Blanche,
said the firm would drop its law
suit against the Morgan’s Point
Board of Adjustment which had
sought permits to build the con
dominiums on the grounds.
“I think Mr. Osbourn will do
an excellent job of restoring the
mansion, but we have few
enough historical landmarks
and it’s a shame this one cannot
be shared with the public,”
Sledge said.
City officials have rejected
several proposed commercial
ventures at the estate, arguing
such development would dis
rupt the tranquil community
along Galveston Bay.
