The Northwest Carrollton Civic Association was against the Demolition of this Property. We have heard they are planning on moving this house.
We are hoping to be able to document the moving process and gather information.

This should be a very interesting move for a number of reasons. The size of the house, as well as the stucco facade and tile roof.

Whenever I see demolition requests for non flooded areas of the City I have to wonder what the motivation is at this paticular time when so much work is being done in the flooded areas. This place had a lot of great period details

This building is a block off of St. Charles. A great location for apartments or condos.

According to the Assesors report the building has been boarded up since 2003.
The application to demolish was denied on 2/20/2006

Housing Conservation District Review Committee
Meeting Agenda
October 9, 2006
10 a.m., Room 7E07 City Hall
DENIED [6-0] based on the fair condition and architectural significance
Oct 9 Meeting Results RESULT: Denied

Owner Nedra Ricard has applied to demolish this Victorian shotgun double to replace it with a vacant lot. Result: Denied.
In the Housing Conservation District Review Committee’s Meetings, HCDRC, the board takes into consideration a number of factors in deciding to approve or deny a demolition; the presence of the owner at the meeting is a big factor, the plans the owner has submitted for the lot post-demolition, whether or not the owner might benefit from a deferral to pursue sale of the property to bring it back into commerce. The structural viability and economic feasibility of renovation are fundamental considerations as well as the intrinsic value of the unique architectural characteristics a house may offer are all weighed in the board’s decision.

Willie White determines the quality of barge board by its thickness and length, and of course, how much termite damage it’s suffered. Barge board is rich in texture and color. If you liken wood to clothing, barge board is your favorite fluffly fleece.
