Bullington House

good

morning chair and members of the board.

This is staff Person Samantha DeLeon.

I submit item three at 3023 Delmonte Drive, designated as the Mr.

and Mrs.

John B.

Bullington landmark for your consideration.

The 6,568 square foot two-story Greek revival property was built circa nineteen thirty eight situated on a 26,775 square foot lot.

The applicant is proposing interior and exterior and interior alterations, along with the construction of a two-story rear edition, and to place all existing windows with custom-made double-hung counterweight, double-glazed, insulated wood windows designed to match the profiles, appearance, and operation of the existing historic windows.

All new windows would be properly inset and recessed to maintain historic depth, shadow lines, and facade detailing.

At the September 10th, 2026 Houston Archaeological and Historical Commission meeting, staff recommended an approval with conditions that only the rear windows may be replaced.

All original windows visible from the public right-of-way on the front and side elevations must be retained as the scope of work does not meet criteria 9 of section 33-241.

Chair and members of the board, I'm available for any question.

The agent Nadia Palace's Lauterbach is also here to answer any questions.

This uh concludes my presentation.

Are there any questions for staff?

I have a question.

Uh

it said in the write-up that there are numerous uh violations of the Houston residential code.

Can you give us an idea of what they are?

Yes, so and I think that um Nadia can go ahead and explain that a little better than I can.

Okay, thank

you.

Please state your name and to the microphone.

Nadia Palacios Lauterbach, um, I'm the architect um of this house.

Um I have copies of our documents if anyone needs them.

Uh the our main issue is that the house has windows that go all the way down to the floor on the second floor.

This is not unusual for Bertil Briscoe, John Staub in houses of that time period.

Uh, but usually those type of windows happen on the first floor, very rarely on the second floor.

The windows that you see on the facade, the ones that we are not allowed to change, those are bedroom windows, and they just don't have any protection.

So, number one, the window goes all the way down to the floor, which violates the residential code.

Number two, the glass is annealed, very thin glass, so it can break very easily, and then a person can fall, you know, to their death.

Um, so we're doing extensive work on this house.

It will not pass inspection because the windows, the glass is not tempered.

When you have glass at that height, it's required that the glass is tempered.
