4515 Yoakum Blvd
Houston, TX 77006
Office Property For Sale

Marcus & Millichap, as the exclusive representative, is pleased to present 4515 Yoakum Boulevard — an architecturally significant, historically-designated property originally constructed in 1916 by the Russell Brown Company. In 1919, renowned architect Alfred C. Finn enhanced the residence with its iconic front porch: a wide-span reinforced concrete structure featuring a cantilevered canopy and inglenook framed by a distinctive bulbous column.
Situated in the southern Montrose / Museum District overlap, the two-story Sterling Mansion — also known as The Sterling-Berry House — comprises approximately 4,546 square feet of building area on a 20,726-square-foot lot, with parking for up to 22 vehicles, and has recently undergone extensive renovations to its flooring and roof structures. The property is uniquely suited for either office or residential use.
Reflecting progressive Art Nouveau influence, the restored red brick building is constructed of hollow tile blocks on a reinforced concrete foundation and features a symmetrically composed U-shaped plan, a hip roof clad with red clay tiles, wooden floors, and large wood-framed sliding sash windows that flood the interior with natural light. The expansive, leafy lot enhances functionality and curb appeal.
Previously owned by Ross Shaw Sterling (founder of Humble Oil Company) and later Joel H. Berry (Houston banker, lawyer, and civic leader), this landmark offers a rare opportunity for buyers who value architectural heritage — whether as a flagship office location, a private residence of distinction, or an investment leveraging historic character for premium rents or boutique hospitality concepts.
