Meaning of "lett or close"

Part of an early 1900's deed contains a portion of a phrase stating "...to be built or erected any let or close...". What is a 'lett' and what is a 'close'?

Is it "let" or "lett"? In two places you wrote "lett", but in the quote itself you wrote "let". I can't find any other relevant examples of "let(t) or close" though Internet search, which suggests it is not a stock legal phrase.

I can't find any other relevant examples of "let(t) or close" though Internet search, which suggests it is not a stock legal phrase. It might be helpful if you could post more of the text (at least the whole sentence) so that, for example, it can be verified that "let(t)" and "close" are nouns
