Houston Archeological Historic Committee

To Whom It May Concern:

We recently purchased the aforementioned property located in the historic North Norhill neighborhood in Houston Texas. It

is our understanding that this property is subject to the Deed Restrictions as recorded in the Real Property Records of Harris

County. We understand that this property requires a Certificate of Appropriateness as issued by HAHC in order to obtain a

permit for construction from the City of Houston Building Department.

Property Description:

Built in 1930, the existing property is a typical two bedroom/one bath bungalow. The layout is the

standard living/dining/kitchen on one half of the home and the bedroom/bath/bedroom on the other half. However, the

kitchen is atypically longer than the rear bedroom and is currently a make-shift laundry room. Though we are not certain, it

appears upon visual inspection that this extension is original to the home; the rafters are all continuous. The siding also

appears to be continuous. The exterior consists of a gabled front porch with two brick columns. A brick fireplace is present

within a second gabled roof on the side/north elevation. Some of the typical bungalow details present in this home are gable

brackets at the corners and ridge of the overhanging gabled roof as well as attic vent and trimwork at the peak of the gables.

All windows are wood windows and appear to be original. Wood teardrop siding, which is typical of these homes, is the

exterior cladding of this bungalow.

Condition of Property:

This property appears to be generally in decent shape. Minor rot on the wood siding is expected in these

older homes. The windows are all painted shut with multiple layers of paint. There are several windows that contained

cracked glass. The brickwork is in good shape as is the current exterior paint. The interior also appears to be in decent

shape. However the kitchen appears to have been renovated without any consideration of the period of the home. The home

appears to be structurally sound. The electrical system appears to be newer, grounded wiring.

Scope of Work:

Interior: Cosmetic remodel of current interior of residence with minor demolition work. This includes full

renovation of the kitchen and new paint/finishes of the remainder of the interior of the residence. Sand

and re-finish existing wood floors.

Exterior: New paint on existing original wood siding and brick columns. Repair original wood siding as necessary.

Replace composite shingles as necessary. Existing original wood windows to be repaired or replaced if

existing condition of windows is beyond repair.

Addition: 635SF master suite addition to the rear of the residence with an attached carport. Addition to include

master bedroom, master bathroom/closet with screened-in porch as well as a new utility room/mudroom.

Materials and details of addition are to match materials and details of existing bungalow. This work will

involve demolition of the existing rear porch which is not original as well as partial demolition of the

current rear walls to connect to the new addition. The roof line will be a continuation of the current roof

with gable details that mimic the existing original gable details.

Landscape: Removal of existing concrete drive beyond existing vehicular gate. Concrete to be replaced

with a gravel drive. Minor landscape work around perimeter of residence.

Following is our complete submittal for your review. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions

regarding the submittal.

Respectfully,

Bernardo Rios
