TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION o Any proposed alterations beyond routine maintenance (replacing nails, screws, painting a feature that was previously painted, etc.) needs to be formally submitted to the Texas Historical Commission at least 60 days prior to the proposed start of construction. o The submission must include a cover letter_ explaining what building it is, who the project manager is, who the architect or contractor is, and who is doing the actual work on the building. In addition, a full scope of work submitted along with any plan drawings that can be provided are required. New materials that will be introduced to the building will also need to be listed (i.e. what type of new windows, vinyl, wood, or aluminum). o Photographs of the building in its current state and close ups of the project areas are required to be sent in with all previously mentioned paperwork. o Once the submission is received by the THC, the contents are reviewed within 30 days and determined if the proposed work is appropriate. At this time, if Architect Reviewers with the THC are concerned about the proposed work, then they may want to schedule a site visit to talk with the building owners and architects. o The'THC is allowed to extend the review period up to 90 if they feel there is improper work being proposed. o At the end of the THC review period the building owner may continue the work as they choose. They are not required to follow the recommendations of the THC. o If alterations to the building are detrimental to the historic integrity of the building the THC may involve the Marker Department and remove the RTHL designation from the building. However, the THC strives to work with owners as much as possible so this does not happen. Additionally: ■ The designation requires the public display of the RTHL marker. The marker is the property of the State of "Texas and may not be removed or relocated without the prior permission of the Texas Historical Commission. ■ RTIIL status is a permanent designation which is retained with the property even upon transfer of ownership. Only the Texas Historical Commission may remove the designation. ■ Structures designated as RTHl.s do not have to be open to the public, but the marker must be accessible to the public. ■ RTHL designation does not imply eligibility for federal tax incentives for rehabilitation. certify that I am the legal owner or authorized representative of the property owner noted herein, and further certify that I have read the information regarding Recorded Texas Historic Landmarks and that I voluntarily seek the designation for the property described herein.
