Letter from Stan Graves to Richard Strimel, Housing Area 3 Central Air Conditioner Installation for 43 Units, Fort Sam Houston, Texas

Author(s): Stanley O. Graves

Year: 1991

Summary

This letter confirms the Texas Historical Commission's position on the installation of new central HVAC systems in Housing Area 3 at Fort Sam Houston. One of the Commission’s primary goals in this project is to preserve the character of public spaces in these historic homes as much as possible. This goal can be realized by installing all HVAC ductwork for service to the first floor in the basement and crawl space areas. This can be achieved through a sealed duct system or by laying a mud slab in the crawl space areas to prevent Chlordane from infiltrating the system. The Texas Historical Commission has consulted with their archeologists and find no problem archeologically with installing a mud slab.
