What a general construction project looks like here
Wheatley Place was a planned middle-class African-American neighborhood (1915-1935) — one of Dallas's earliest professionally-developed Black suburban communities, NRHP-listed in 2000.
Because Wheatley Place is NRHP-listed (honorific federal designation) rather than locally-designated, there is no Certificate of Appropriateness review — but federal historic tax credits apply on qualifying restoration work.
The neighborhood's 1915-1935 Craftsman + Colonial Revival stock retains original pier-and-beam foundations with long-leaf pine framing that typically needs sistering on any major remodel.

Who is Baily?
Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.
He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.
That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.
Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
