What happened
The historic Kirby Mansion in Houston was demolished after city inspectors briefly halted the work because the demolition crew had started without a required permit. The 132-year-old home, which was not designated a historic landmark, was slated for redevelopment into a gas station and convenience store by the new owner, OB Texas Properties LLC. This LLC is owned by Omair Bashir.

Why it matters
The demolition allows the planned commercial redevelopment to proceed, which could increase the local tax base and market activity in Houston. The project is connected to the business interests of Omair Bashir, who owns the Brake Time gas station chain.
