Ms. Guthrie,
This letter is in regards to my property located at the following addresses:
900 Scott
908 Scott
916 Scott
920 Scott
Please accept this letter as an apology for my oversight to receive permission from the Little
Rock Historic District Commission to have my driveways paved.
When my husband, Clovis Buchanan (Deceased), and I purchased the property in the early
eighties the lot at 900 Scott was already paved. Through the years we have tried to keep the
property up and improve the overall looks and appearance. My husband worked for Benjamin
Moore Paints and was always careful to pick out colors that would have readily been available
around the time the homes were built.
I had the opportunity to have the lot at 900 Scott resurfaced recently and at the same time the
asphalt company offered me a discount to go ahead and pave my driveways. Since I thought it
would greatly improve the looks and overall appearance I agreed to have the driveways paved.
I in no way intended to take away from the historic significance of the properties or usurp the
authority of the Little Rock Historic District Commission.
Please accept this apology and forgive me for my oversight.
Thanking You in Advance,
Mary Buchanan
