River Oaks houses are often large rebuilds with a main kitchen, a catering kitchen and a laundry upstairs by the bedrooms, and an upstairs washer there has its supply hoses and drain pan checked on every visit, since a leak finds the ceiling below. ## What River Oaks does to a home appliance. River Oaks was laid out in the 1920s by brothers Will and Michael Hogg, with its first house, a 1924 Colonial Revival built for William L. Clayton, and the City of Houston annexed the neighborhood in 1927. Original deed restrictions specified architectural styles - Kirby Drive homes were limited to American Colonial or English Tudor design - and set minimum construction costs. Lots in the original 178-acre subdivision ranged from a quarter acre to four acres, laid out along curving roads rather than a grid. Demolition activity has picked up in recent years, with 80 River Oaks demolition permits approved in just 2018 and 2019 as owners replaced even some city-designated landmark homes.
