1936 Portland cement home in Fort Worth Texas. Charles Allen, architect. C.M. Davis, builder. Plans provided.
Long continued sun heat is depressing, particularly if one can't find relief in the shelter of a cool house. But sun can do real damage to a house if it is built of perishable materials. Sun has no effects on concrete. It can't blister the paint because cement paint becomes a part of the concrete wall. Sun can't warp or dry out a concrete house, for concrete is a permanent material. This fine little home in Fort Worth will stand under many seasons of blistering sun, but it will always look and be the same.
