Myers Park · 1910s–1930s, with substantial 1950s and 1990s additions
Grand houses, mature trees, and a hundred years of other people's renovations to unpick before yours can start.
Kitchens taken back to the studs, primary bathrooms rebuilt inside their original footprint, and the connection between a 1990s addition and a 1920s house made to look intentional.
The thing to know first
The tree ordinance decides more than you expect
The canopy here is protected, and a mature willow oak's critical root zone can rule out the rear addition you've drawn before anyone talks about setbacks. It is worth knowing that in week one rather than week nine. We check the trees and the setbacks in the same visit as the measured survey, and if the addition won't fit we say so before you've paid for drawings of it.
What is behind the walls in Myers Park
- Three-coat plaster over wood lath, worth saving and expensive to match badly
- Knob-and-tube in the untouched sections, often spliced into modern circuits in a way that won't pass inspection
- Additions from the 1950s and the 1990s meeting the original structure at a step, a beam or a bodge
- Boiler and radiator systems, some still running, some abandoned in place inside the walls
