Qui vous reçoit ?
Vous êtes reçu par Ted Powell
Retired chemical engineer interested in historic preservation. Led team effort to prevent demolition of the 1956 Sylvan Beach Pavilion by successfully listing it on the National Historic Registry (NHR), State of Texas Archeological Landmark (SAL), and a Recorded Texas Historical Landmark (RTHL). The SAL listing led to Harris County receiving a multimillion dollar federal community development block grant (CDBG) to restore the pavilion to its 50's glamour. Ted also participated in the effort to successfully nominate the worlds first domed stadium, the Houston Astrodome to the NHR and SAL status, preserving this mid century marvel from further abuse or demolition. Hopefully this iconic building will be open to the public again soon. Ted's other interests include spending time with his wife of 44 years, Kim, and their 2 children and 4 grandchildren, antique cars, and home restoration. On that topic Ted has restored a half dozen homes over his lifetime including 2 homes on the Big Island of Hawaii, the 1930's Settegast summer home on Galveston Bay and the 1915 Hopkins 4 square balloon framed home in the Montrose section of Houston. Ted designed his first home in 1980, a quirky octagon, and this garage apartment. Ted is currently restoring a summer cabin in Colorado's San Juan Mountains.
Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?
This homes 10' ceilings are one of its greatest attributes. It is situated in a lively, walkable neighborhood with rich flora, a diverse population. Recognizing Ted's ability to fix old things, the previous owner, who purchased the home in 1970, asked Ted in 2012 if he could renovate it. The garage apartment was designed and built under Ted's supervision in the location of the homes original carriage house. The cypress wood clad home had never been restored and much of its original architectural details were still present including its longleaf pine floors, 5 panel doors with transom windows. and gas/electric fixtures. The home was gutted down to its exterior walls and rebuilt reusing as much of the original materials as possible (cypress wood lap siding was salvaged and sold as modern cement board lap siding is a more practical maintenance free alternative), but upgraded with new electrical, plumbing and central heat & A/C. The restoration was a success and Hopkins House should be good for another century or more
Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?
This proud home is a comfortable home to relax in and is located in a very walkable neighborhood in the center of Houston. It's situated near the corner of Fairview and Hopkins Street, the home of the famous Barnaby's restaurant and Baby Barnaby's. Fairview cuts east/west through Montrose and has many restaurants (27 within 5 blocks) and bars (11 within 5 blocks). As Houston has no zoning, restaurants and bars are sprinkled through the neighborhood. Weekends can be especially lively here, but the garage apartment is located in the center of the city block so street noise is minimized.
House is also well located to public transit. $5 Metro Q-cards are provided to allow guests to use Metro buses and trains. Additional funds can be added to cards on Metro buses and at the local Kroger grocery store on West Grey.
