Coal House

The previous owner of the Coal House, Andy Myles, passed away in Feb 2001. His brother from Friendswood, TX, David, moved his mother, Quindora, to a nursing home near to where he lives. She is now in her mid-90's and in failing health. Both buildings are on the market and as far as I know they have not yet been purchased. My family and the Myles family were very close -- my mother and I both worked as sales clerks at the Coal House in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
