Four Fort Worth property owners learned last month what they can and can’t do with their historic properties.
The Historic and Cultural Landmarks Commission, a city board that reviews changes to historic buildings, ruled on the cases Sept. 14.
The meeting saw a low attendance, with mostly individual homeowners and neighborhood association representatives speaking on specific cases.
Terrell Heights
Commissioners decided that a Terrell Heights structure at 1215 Bessie St. that burned earlier this year retained its architectural integrity and was cleared for rehabilitation.
Mistletoe Heights
The commission decided the owner of a Mistletoe Heights home at 2132 Edwin St. cannot connect the primary house to a detached garage until the plan is redesigned to respect neighborhood patterns.
Fairmount
The owner of a house in Fairmount at 1608 Fairmount Ave. completed a necessary restoration for a historic site tax exemption for which commissioners recommended approval.
Carver Heights
The commission OK’d a new Carver Heights home at 5504 Mac Arthur Drive. The owner must meet certain conditions, including how far it sits from the street, the depth of the porch and building materials.
The next meeting is Oct. 12 at 2 p.m.
