Link, the man who is single handedly responsible for the development of Montrose.

Mr. Link was a virile businessman and at the forefront of his field. He immediately began the Houston Land Corporation in 1910 with a capital of five hundred thousand dollars and the intention of leading the city of Houston to great achievements. Mr. Link was obviously the president had four vice-presidents working with him most of whose names are familiar: J.S. Rice, Jno. H. Kirby, R.E. Brooks, and Wm. Malone. This organization was designed to buy and develop real estate (most of which was residential) and turn around and sell it for a nice profit. One of the first projects the organization partook in was taking a 250 acre plot of rugged farmland that Mr. Link acquired which was home to dairy farms, rural establishments, and the such.
