Letter of Intent
1103 S Rock St
Georgetown TX 78626
The current home situated on this property was built sometime between 1905-1910. According
to the Sanborn Maps, there was a house that was removed before the current home was built.
In 1985, a second story was added that did not conform with the architecture of the original
home.
At first glance, the property appeared to be salvageable, but after several site visits with P&Z,
contractors, and inspectors, the home is not in a salvageable condition. I’ve included pictures
below for reference. The foundation is being held up by cinder blocks and cedar tree trunks.
There are at least 6 different types of siding, all of which are deteriorated. The detached garage
is sitting on the ground which has severely impacted its structural integrity. This property is
zoned RS, but is surrounded by MUDT zoning. Regardless of the desired use, the property is not
capable of supporting a residential or commercial use. There are however, items that could be
salvaged. The hardwood floors in the living room are in good enough condition to re-use.
There is what appears to be a clawfoot tub that can be resurfaced and used. Some pieces of
the board and batten siding on the detached garage/shed could be used as a focal point on a
new structure. The intent here is to demolish the building while salvaging the items above and
any others found before the demolition takes place.
I look forward to answering any questions.
