15802 House & Hahl Rd, Cypress. I was able to use subtle clues to determine that this mobile home sat on the west side of House & Hahl Rd approximately 850 feet south of Hempstead Rd (the 290 feeder road). In this photo, there is a faint driveway that is obscured by the capital L in the Aerial watermark and to the left of the drive is a large pine tree. While east Texas is filled with pine trees, this area of Texas sports various oaks (pin oak, water oak, live oak) and cypress trees (hence Cypress, Texas). Additionally the tree behind the small shed is the dreaded bald cypress tree. They shoot out and grow huge knees that destroy anything in its path - foundations, driveways, swimming pools - and yes, I speak from experience. Put these clues together along with the fact that you can still see the small shed to the right of the structure in the 2011 view of Google Maps, and I've concluded this is where this mobile home and shed were once located.
