Tenant History Same as above E. Narrative History Built by 1. C. Culpepper in 1948, 1204 Marsteller may have been part of the original Richard Carter plantation, since it lies a mile west of the old Carter homestead. The front of the house appears just as it did when first built, and has never been altered. The home has always been a single-family residence with a detached, two-car garage, and the original brick veneer has never been painted or altered in any way. The house is notable for its many 4'x6' double-hung wood sash windows and large living room picture window looking out on the back yard. The living room also has a huge solid brick fireplace with original knotty pine cabinetry on either side. The only major alteration made before the present owners acquired the house was converting a back porch into a sunroom. The sunroom is on the porch's original concrete slab, and appears to have been used first as a laundry room and then a den. No alterations in the roofline were necessary. From discussions with the prior owners, we believe the porch was enclosed around 1970. s- .F6 Originally the house had a large floor heater and space heaters. These were replaced with central heat and air long before we purchased it. The original space heater in the bathroom is still in place. The only alteration that changed the building's roofline and floor plan was made in 1987 by the present owners. We added two bedrooms and a % bath, and used brick manufactured in Henderson, Texas, identical to the original brick. The addition is pier and beam, just like the original house, with identical wood trim. We even recycled an original window by using it in one of the new bedrooms. The addition is not visible from the front, and most visitors cannot tell where the original structure ends and the addition begins. Most of the visible changes are in the landscape, which has varied over the years, Many post oak trees in the neighborhood have died, but have been replaced by live oaks, shumard oaks, cedars, and similar trees that harmonize with the existing habitat. On the rear exterior we have added a deck, a brick patio, and an in-ground swimming pool, and we repaved the concrete driveway along the north side. We also added a small wooden gardening shed behind the garage. On the interior we have extensively remodeled the kitchen, remodeled two built-in cabinets, and refloored the bathroom. Otherwise, the old part of the house looks much the same as it did when it was first built. F. Drawings See Attachment A. G, Photographs See Attachment B. H. Additional Information We will be happy to address any questions as fully as we can. We have very few records of the house before 1977, however. 1. References We established ownership by searching the Deed of Trust records in the Brazos County Courthouse, Bryan, Texas. Ms. Elizabeth Spring of the City of College Station searched the city's building permits to determine the date the house was built. Ms. Kettie Brownwill, the owner from 1977-85, graciously sent us photographs of the front of the house she took in 1977. ~ ~r' z w o Ol .~ ~ ~ 10 LOT.35 - '~ '" "- l\l "H: IfTTl1cH/heNr II-I ....
