GHF sells house renovated as educational project for $68.000 1 Laurence Cottage at 1527 Ave. has been sold to a Houston couple for $68,000. The refurbished two-story house was a demonstration house for last summer's "From Our House to Yours" instructional course sponsored by the Galveston Historical Foundation's residential staff.

The Houston couple dis- covered the quaint cottage during GHF's Eighth Annual Historical Homes Tour and immediately was interested in buying it. Fifty adults helped refurbish the cottage during the 14-week series of classes designed to teach the "ins and outs" of house renovation. The project, funded by The Moody Foundation, will culminate with publication of a workbook available to the public. Proceeds from the sale will go to GHF's neighborhood revitalization program. "We are so pleased that the demonstration house project has been so successful and has gone as planned.

We taught classes, completely renovated the cottage, acted as a catalyst for the surrounding neighborhood, are in the process of writing the workbook and have now sold the house," said Residential Director Gwen Marcus.

HOUSE GETS FACE-LIFT The unusually ornate Victorian house at 2818 Ball will undergo some badly needed repairs in the next couple of months. Last month, the 1891 Beissner House was made watertight with a $7,660 new The Beissner House at 2818 Ball roof. Future plans include repairing the brick piers. The Beissner House, which is listed in the National Register, has been used for varied purposes over the years. It has been a synagogue, flop-house hotel and low-income rental property.

Donations to save the Beissner House have graciously been contributed by Mrs. Meade W. Eastham, Shell Oil, Getty Oil, First City National Bank of Houston, $500; Jack Currie, $500; and Harris and Eliza Kempner Fund, $500. GHF Board of Advisors member Chris Haglund was instrumental in obtaining the funds. For more information about the Beissner House, call Gwen Marcus at 7657834.

MEMBERSHIP UP Each year, more individuals learn about GHF's special community programs, events and attractions. When Galvestonians discover how GHF's efforts have benefited Galveston Sergeant in 6 HU1 Street Blues 9 is one actor that shuns limelight LOS ANGELES (AP) Gardner fRarhara LOS ANGELES (AP) In late 1979 Michael Conrad got a call from a producer friend who asked him to keep the following March clear for a show called "Hill Street Station." The call came from Steven Bochco, who had created and produced another police series, "De- Ivecchio," in which Conrad had a starring role. "We had good chemistry and we laughed a lot." says Conrad. "So I asked him what kind of a part it was. He just said to the effect he was a police sergeant who'd been out on the street too many years and was burned out.

Everybody knows he's burned out, but they value his expertise. But he never goes out on the street. He gets edgy if he even thinks about it." When March rolled around, he took the role of Sgt. Phil Esterhaus in what was now called "Hill Street Blues," co-created by Bochco and Michael Kozoll. The character was tailored for Conrad.

Last September when the NBC series won an unprecedented eight Em- mys, one of them went to Conrad as best supporting actor in a drama series. Esterhaus is usually an island of serenity amidst the chaos that grips the Hill Street station. The policemen are trying to cope with the crime in the blighted ghetto area surrounding the station and going just a little bit crazy because it's an impossible job. Esterhaus has not been totally out of action, however, and has been carrying on a sizzling affair with Grace Gardner (Barbara Babcock). "His private life is strictly from the fantasies of the writers," says Conrad, a 6-foot-4 actor who spent most of his career playing what he calls "physical roles." "Of course, I have a wife 25 years younger and they know I've done all right with the ladies.

But I'd never played a ladies man before so they kind of played around with that. It can be a bit much. The pilot said Phil Esterhaus was a man 48 years old with a 17-year-old girlfriend named Cindy. It's highly improbable, but possible." The episode that won him the Emmy was the one that nearly took him to the altar with Cindy. Grace broke up the wedding-to-be right in the church, and since then it's been nude horseback riding, leather sheets and hot oil rubs.

Conrad was born in New York City the son of a career Army man, and he served in the artillery during World Warll. "I wasn't brought up by a man," he says. "I was brought up surrounded by women and it's had an enormous effect on my life. I'm very comfortable with women. 1 have no preconceptions.

The women I grew up with were very strong women. They didn't treat me like a little boy. I was the man." When he got out of the Army he went to City College of New York and studied drama at the Dramatic Workshop of the New School. He did some sum- Island during the past 10 years, they want to participate, according to the GHF. As of June 4, GHF had 2,073 members for 1982.

"I couldn't make a living as an actor until I was 33," he says. "I always did something else. Whenever I couldn't get work as an actor I went out and got another job.

But I knew that if I stuck with it some day I would make it. I loved the work so much. And I didn't have a lot of middle class values to support so I could skimp by." He also found sustenance working on such New York shows as "Naked City" and "The Defenders." He traveled to Louisiana for a guest shot on one of the first "Route 66" episodes. He says, "I played a roustabout on an offshore oil rig. We flew out from Grand Isle every morning on helicopters and flew back at night and ate dinner in a fine New Orleans restaurant.

That was my first taste of being recognized, and I'm an actor who hates to be recognized." Conrad moved to Los Angeles in 1963. He says, "I got disenchanted with the theater, the arts.

It becomes very boring. I taught acting here for the first six months, but that was too depressing with the young actors. I came from the streets where you don't ask people for things." The first thing he did was a guest spot on "Wagon Train." After that he played the bad guy on such shows as "Gunsmoke," "Laredo," "Rawhide." In the following years he did a lot of "physical roles." Frequently, he was the baddie, but not always. He was the football coach in "The Longest Yard. He was the locomotive engineer in "Cattle Annie and Little Britches." He was also in such movies as "Castle Keep" and "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" All those years on the wrong side of the law may have helped him play a policeman.

He is asked how much research he did for his role on "Hill Street Blues" and makes a circle with his thumb and forefinger. "Zip," he says. "I'm not one of those actors who believe that you have to research your roles."
