Second Annual
Houston Heights
Holiday Market
by Sharie Beale, Chair, 2007
Holiday Market
We have a wonderful Holiday
Market for all of our shoppers
this year, with new and returning
merchants. This is a great stop
before or after the Holiday Home
Tour. It’s also where tour tickets
are sold and the first trolley stop
for the Holiday Home Tour.
There is no entrance fee for the
Holiday Market.
The merchandise you can
expect to see includes Christmas
decorations (yes, Venice Holiday
Gifts is back, plus some new folks
with wonderful decorations),
hand-made crèches, and
ornaments. In addition, handpainted gifts, jewelry of all sorts,
soft Alpaca clothing (small and
large pieces), stylish fur pieces
(real and not) such as vests,
jackets and scarves, gifts for the
home (some wonderful new
Polish pottery merchants), and
garden decorations (the Round
Top garden art has finally come
to our Market!) will be available.
The ever-popular Sue Kerr is
returning this year and will take
a commission to do a portrait
of your home. (Sue was busy all
last year with orders just from
our Market.) Lucia’s Garden is
back to entice you with all things
herbal and wonderful, and we
have a new purveyor of bath
and beauty products. For that
Holiday Home Tour & Holiday Market continued from page The Holiday Market will feature local artists, crafters, and
merchants with fine hand-made wares, gift items, Christmas
decorations, and one-of-a-kind accessories. Artist Sue Kerr will
be returning with her popular house portraits. Food vendors will
offer delicious treats for sale, and street performers will delight and
entertain. [See article at left.]
The Holiday Market will be at the Heights Fire Station, 107 W.
12th Street at Yale; the homes on tour are in the surrounding area.
Shuttles will be available on Saturday and Sunday to go between the
homes and can be boarded from the Fire Station.
The tour homes will be open from 6:00 to 9:00 PM on Friday,
from Noon to 6:00 PM on Saturday, and from Noon to 5:00 PM
on Sunday. The Holiday Market will be open from 6:00 to 9:00 PM
Friday, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Saturday, and from Noon to
5:00 PM on Sunday.
Advance tickets are $17. Tickets purchased on tour days are $20

businesses: Another Place in Time, Buchanan’s Native Plants, Eclectic
Home, and McCain’s Market. Tickets will be available for purchase on
tour days at the Fire Station and at the homes.
Money raised by the Houston Heights Holiday Home Tour
and Holiday Market is used by the Houston Heights Association to
support neighborhood programs, including maintaining, improving,
and beautifying parks, streets, walkways, public buildings, and
vacant and underdeveloped areas; sponsoring the rehabilitation
and restoration of historically significant homes and buildings; and
to promote Houston Heights as the best and most livable historic
neighborhood in the Houston metropolitan area.

Homes On The 2007 Historic Houston Heights Holiday Home Tour
Sackheim Home, 227 W. 18th St.
Built in 1915 by A.F. Buchanan, this craftsmanstyle bungalow home has many features classic
to the period. Highlights include a high pitched
gabled roof, oversized windows, tapered columns,
and an extensive wraparound porch. When the
homeowner purchased and restored the home in
2001, he lovingly maintained the integrity of both
construction and historical setting. The many
spacious rooms include a kitchen with frosted maple
cabinets and Baltic brown granite counter tops and
a huge master bath with a walk-in shower. Amid
the delightful interior mix of eclectic contemporary
and American Empire furniture, all will be charmed
with the owner’s traditional holiday themes. This
home won the Houston Heights Association’s
Community Improvement Award in 2002.
Broman Cottage, 712 West 15th Street
The best things come in small packages, and this
adorable cottage is no exception. Built in the 1920s
and targeted for teardown, this home was moved
to this location in the 1980s. After renovating
many homes in the Heights area, Don & Debbie
Broman have continued the quest for preservation
by renovating this house. This cozy rental property
feels like a cabin in the woods. Though it maintains
most of its original design, the kitchen and bath
have been updated. Keeping true to the original
scale of the house but adding square footage, the
homeowners enlarged the master bedroom by a
mere five feet. This cottage features reclaimed 60year old knotty-pine trim and antique furniture
throughout. The rustic décor is echoed in the
Christmas decorations, which feature old-fashioned
popcorn garlands and nostalgic ornaments. Woven
paper art by local artist Scott Bodenheimer is
featured throughout the house.
Lauden Home, 1425 Harvard St.
This 1903 Queen Anne cottage is truly a
reclaimed jewel. This fully restored home boasts
many original architectural treasures including
hardwood floors, fully functioning interior transom
windows, hardware, moldings, and original pocket
doors. The recently added designer kitchen and gas
lanterns add the finishing touch. The exterior boasts
lush landscaping and a stone patio with a fire pit.
One of the owners’ Christmas trees is adorned with
Bethlehem stars, a reminder of their recent move
from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
Sulser Home, 618 East 8th 1/2 Street
Built in 2005 by Kight Construction on the
site of a neglected warehouse, this colonial revival
is reminiscent of the New Orleans Garden District
and reflects the homeowners’ Louisiana heritage.
This gracious home boasts a barrel-vaulted ceiling
entrance, double verandas, intricate moldings,
reclaimed oak floors, and recycled architectural
elements. Inside, experience what Christmas looks
like when Papa Noël visits. Here, the holidays
are decadently celebrated with several themed
Christmas trees and a lavish Christmas table.
Outside, the homeowners re-created a New Orleans
courtyard with a pool that features custom ironwork
and antique brick reclaimed from the remains of a
Virginia tobacco warehouse.
Brenner-Dumas Home, 914 Nicholson Street
This beautiful, Charleston inspired, Neo-classical style home
was built in 2006 by Sullivan Brothers. The traditional décor is
elegant and dramatic, with 10-foot ceilings and detailed custom
woodwork throughout the home. The highlight is surely the rustic
country kitchen with onyx countertops. For the holidays, an
extensive collection of new and vintage Santas adds a warm touch.
The homeowners’ collection of ornaments reaches over 2,500 and
features antique figural bulbs from the turn of the century.
Heights Bike and Skate Rally Experiment Succeeds
The experiment to find an HHA fundraiser to replace the Heights Festival was a success. On Sunday,
October 7, 140 cyclists departed from and returned to the Fire Station after pedaling either the 16-mile or
the 24-mile rally route. Every participant said they had fun and would return next year. The rally netted
$1,441.00 for the HHA Boulevard Fund.
Rally Highlights
Heights resident Robert Killian won five front row tickets to an Astros game of his choice for finding
all the mystery objects in the scavenger hunt on the 16-mile route. The tickets were donated by Allied
Waste. Heights resident Jim Bennett won a new high tech adult’s bicycle for finding the most mystery
objects in the scavenger hunt on the 24-mile route. The bicycle was donated by Houston Bicycle Company,
who also provided emergency road service for the rally. A special hard luck plaque was awarded to Heights
resident John Blass, who kept the emergency road service busy with
two flats and one crash.
The youngest cyclist award went to 7-year-old Tillman Amstatz
[right], who pedaled the 24-mile route with his father. He would have
also won the best-dressed award, if there had been one. Sixty-eight-yearold Ted Kowalski won the Senior Cyclist award. William Ralstin won
the best-decorated bike award with a sound system on his bicycle that
was better than most automobiles.
Prize Sponsors for the Rally include the following:
Heights Presbyterian Church
Hickory Hollow Restaurant
Blue Line Bicycle Laboratory
Allied Waste
Java Java Café

Heights Holiday Hayride
Several years ago, before the Lights-in-the-Heights event closed the streets to traffic, the Houston
Heights Association sponsored a hay wagon for members to ride on. If there is enough interest, the hay
wagon is going to be made available again.
The wagon will accommodate 20 to 24 adults and children. It will only be available on the nights of
November 30, December 1, 7, 8, 14, & 15. The caroling hayrides will only travel through the Heights area.
If you have a group that would be interested in riding on the wagon, or you are having a holiday party and
would be interested in being caroled, call 713-869-0505 or e-mail [email protected].
Demo Watch
Nine more structures were lost to demolition or relocation
between September 17 and October 15, including a potentially
contributing house in the proposed Houston Heights Historic District
East. A total of 279 buildings have been demolished or moved out of
the Heights area since Demo Watch began in June 2005.
The Houston Heights Association has provided financial
assistance and support to the historic district effort as a way to deter
demolition and relocation of the neighborhood’s historic architecture.
Builders who build compatible, single-family new construction are
encouraged to replace only existing “non-contributing” sites that were
not compatible when originally built. When this is accomplished, no
historic fabric is lost, and new construction is compatible with the
historic buildings.
The application for the Houston Heights Historic District West
has been approved by the Houston Archeological and Historical
Commission and will be considered by the Planning Commission in
November. A second application for the Houston Heights Historic
District East Phase I was filed shortly before this newsletter was
printed.
Additional historic districts, including one that encompasses
the Houston Heights commercial area in and around 18th and 19th
streets, are being discussed. When Houston Heights was designated
as a Multiple Resource Area in 1983, it was recommended by the
National Park Service, as well as by the Texas Historical Commission,
that multiple historic districts should be established within the
boundaries of Houston Heights since it was at one time a city. Several
subsequent surveys of the historic resources found in Houston
Heights have also recommended that same approach. With the
submittal of the first two historic districts, these recommendations are
finally being addressed.
More information about the historic districts is available at www.
houstonheights.org. Just use the pull down menu under property
issues. Below is a list of the most recent demolition permits.

City Of Houston Historic Preservation Ordinance:
What It Does And Does Not Do
by Sharie Beale, Commissioner, City of Houston Archaeological and Historical Commission
There are sometimes misconceptions or misunderstandings of what the City of Houston Historic
Preservation Ordinance does and does not require of an owner of a Landmark or historic building in a
Historic District. Here are the facts:
• It does NOT tell you what use you can make of your property.
• It does NOT tell you what you can do to the interior of your home.
• It does NOT tell you what color you can paint your house, inside or outside.
• It does NOT apply to maintenance and repairs.
• It does NOT tell you what architectural style or what building materials must be used for new
construction in a historic district.
• It DOES slow down demolitions of historic buildings, giving the community a chance to find an
alternative. (After 90 days, a demolition can occur.)
• It DOES provide free advice and help by the City of Houston Historic Preservation Officer in any
proposed addition or new construction someone wants to make to a property within the historic district or
an addition to a Landmark property.
• It DOES provide Tax Exemptions for City of Houston property taxes (not HISD or county taxes) if
an amount equal to at least 50%, and up to 100%, of the appraised value of the building (not the land) is
invested in improvements and restoration (improvements can be new plumbing, wiring, kitchens, baths,
etc.). If the work requires a Certificate of Appropriateness (free permit), the project must be approved by
the City of Houston Archaeological and Historical Commission (HAHC).
• It DOES provide for this tax exemption to be transferable one time to a new owner.
• It DOES provide a 50% discount on building permits issued by the City of Houston.
• It DOES provide that, if your project is denied by HAHC, that you may still proceed with the
proposed project after 90 days have elapsed (from the date of your application).
For further information, please e-mail [email protected].
