What a general construction project looks like here
Museum District is Houston's cultural anchor — 19 museums within a 1.5-mile radius, with Southmore HD preserving the 1920-1940 residential fabric around them.
Because the neighborhood draws cultural-institution-adjacent residents (museum patrons, Rice University faculty), remodeling scopes trend toward preservation rather than modernization.
Southmore HD review focuses on scale compatibility and setback preservation — not strict style matching.

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.
