Link–Lee House, Neoclassical mansion in Montrose, Houston, United States.

The Link-Lee House spans 10,500 square feet across three floors, featuring five bedrooms, a ballroom, a conservatory, and detailed terra cotta decorations on its brick exterior.

John W. Link constructed this residence in 1912 for $60,000, and in 1916 it was sold to T.P. Lee for $90,000, the highest price for a Houston home at that time.

The building represents early 20th-century residential development in Houston and stands as a testament to the wealth generated during Texas oil industry expansion.

The mansion currently functions as the executive office building for the University of St. Thomas, housing administrative offices and hosting campus-related functions.

The house includes original architectural elements such as a prominent portico entrance, intricate brickwork patterns, and extensive terra cotta ornamentations from its 1912 construction.
