Texas_Smith Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I live in a townhome in Bellaire built in 1980. Does anyone know how I can find information about the architect, builder, etc.? We don't even have blueprints to our own house! I would assume a previous owner (I believe we are the 4th) took them with with them by mistake at some point. I have searched the internet, but I'm not super tech savvy so it's possible I'm not looking in the right places. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevfiv Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 (edited) the city might have some records, although i am not sure how bellaire keeps up with that... in the mid-eighties, i used to live in a townhome on alpine in bellaire (looking at hcad, it appears that about half (including the one i lived in) have been replaced by something more expensive)...i don't believe there were any records to be heard of Edited July 13, 2006 by sevfiv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJones Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Sev, hit the nail, Your title company should have had a blueprint of the house, in with your paperwork, along with a survey. These will be copies of the originals of course. Check your closing paperwork again, there may be some clues in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really interesting! Today, one side of the street has 6 or 7 townhomes, and the other side of the street has 4 megamansions. Quite a contrast, but works wonders for the property values for those of us in the townhomes! Edited July 13, 2006 by Texas_Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
