The walls are clad in brick and the exterior of the hosue is largely in good condition, though some alterations have been made since its original construction, including a porte-cochere to the north side. Research The property was associated with Claude and Julia Pollard, who first occupied the residence from its construction in 1929. Claude Pollard served as Attorney General of Texas from 1927-1929 before resigning to serve as counsel to the Railway General Managers’ Association of Texas. The couple lived at the address with their family until at least 1942, when Alyce Reed, widow of …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Permits in National Register Historic Districts January 7, 2026 PR-2025-155021 West Line Historic District 1505 West 13th Street 12 – 1 Proposal Construct a two-unit residence. Design Standards The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location Setbacks generally match surrounding buildings in the district, expecially other multifamily structures. This is true of both the West 13th Street and Elm Street setbacks. 2. Orientation Both units in the building are oriented towards West 13th Street, which is appropriate for the size of the building and similar to surrounding properties. 3. Scale, massing, and height While the majority of the historic district consists of single-family houses, which are typically one-story in height, this portion of the district has several larger apartments buildings which are two or three stories in height. In this context, the scale, massing, and height of the proposed construction fits in well and reads as more compact than several of its neighbors. 4. Proportions Like the section above, the proportions of the proposed duplex are similar to its multi-unit neighbors and will not look out of place given this context. 5. Design and style The design of the proposed duplex is very modern in the way its materials are used, but the materials themselves are appropriate for the district. Use of brick for the majority of the exterior, along with appropriate fenestration patterns, allow the building to be read from the street as residences that open up towards the public rights-of-way. Some corners are proposed to have curved walls, which aren’t common in the district, but they are restrained in their size and do not overwhelm the overall design. 6. Roofs Flat roofs are proposed, which, like sections described above, are appropriate given the nearby two/three story apartment buildings immediately next to the property. If this application were to propose a single-family house with a flat roof, it may read as too modern for the district, but the horizontality of the multi-unit construction makes a flat roof more visually appropriate. 7. Exterior walls Brick is proposed to cover the vast majority of exterior elevations, which is not uncommon in the district’s detached houses, but is typically of multi-family buildings in the …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Permits in National Register Historic Districts January 7, 2026 PR-2025-147371 Travis Heights-Fairview Park Historic District 522 Sunny Lane 13 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1930 contributing structure. Architecture This house is a single-story residence with Tudor Revival details. The entire house is clad in buff brick and features a steeply pitched gable roof. The windows appear to be original, though some have been removed, and rafter tails are present at the sides of the building. Though it has some damage and loss of material, the exterior walls appear to be in decent condition. Research Upon construction, the house was first owned by Robert & Birdie Lundell, an auto mechanic in the city. It’s unclear exactly when, but during World War II it changed ownership to Jack & Ellen Ferrell, the former of whom served in the US Army. By 1949, the property was purchased by Forest & Dolores Cruse. Forest Cruse had a business selling imported cutlery and was an amateur chef who competed across the country. Together they raised a family and at least one son went into the family cutlery business. Property Evaluation The property contributes to the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria for landmark designation: a. Architecture. The building is a decent example of residential architecture with Tudor Revival elements. b. Historical association. The property does not appear to have significant historical associations. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d. Community value. The property does not possess a unique location, physical characteristic, or significant feature that contributes to the character, image, or cultural identity of the city, the neighborhood, or a particular demographic group. e. Landscape feature. The property is not a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, aesthetic, cultural, or historical value to the city. Staff Recommendation Encourage rehabilitation and adaptive reuse, relocation, or deconstruction and salvage over demolition, but approve the demolition permit application upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package. The Historic Landmark Commission must review plans for new construction in National Register districts …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Permits in National Register Historic Districts January 7, 2026 HR-2025-157977 West Line Historic District 1105 Maufrais Street 14 – 1 Proposal Construct a new house in a historic district. Research The house at 1105 Maufrais St. was built in 1937 for G. R. Ogletree, a lumber company who constructed several similar houses on Maufrais Street. Its first occupant was William A. Chanslor, an employee of the State Comptroller’s Department. It was soon sold by Chanslor and purchased by Jack P. and Lovie McKinney. Jack P. McKinney worked as a salesman. Most of the building’s owners throughout the period of significance sold the property after only a short occupancy. Design Standards The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location Proposed setback is in keeping with outher houses on the block and district. 2. Orientation The proposed orientation faces the street, like other contributing properties in the district. 3. Scale, massing, and height Design calls for a single-story house, with massing and height similar to its neighbors. 4. Proportions The proportions are very aligned with historic houses in the district generally and the block specifically. 5. Design and style While stylistically similar to contributing properties, the new construction reads as being outside the period of significance. Some elements, such as the stone skirt and paired wood posts, can read as contemporary but compatible. Brackets are present at the roofline but are simple in design to further indicate this compatibility with surrounding historic forms. 6. Roofs Roof form is simple and appropriate for the district. Materials proposed, such as composition shingle, do not create a false sense of history. 7. Exterior walls Proposed siding is mostly horizontal wood lap with a stone skirt at the front façade. While masonry skirting is not commonly found in the district, it fits the overall design and proportions of the house, though it is advised that the design avoid creating cabin-like appearance with the shape and proportion of its stones. 8. Windows and doors Window sizes and appearances are appropriate for the district. Especially at the front elevation, the windows are proposed to be hung units with appropriate depth and will not utilize false or simulated muntins or mullions. …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Permits in National Register Historic Districts January 7, 2026 PR-2025-157729; GF-2025-158085 Congress Avenue National Register Historic District 422 Congress Avenue 13 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1940 noncontributing building deemed eligible for contributing status in the 2025 Downtown Austin historic resources survey. Architecture Two-part commercial block. The 2025 survey notes that the building has been modified to include Mid-century Modern stylistic influences. Originally a masonry structure with decorative belt courses at the water table and second floor, with steel casement windows, it was drastically remodeled between 1967 and 1978 to add stucco and a projecting second floor. Per permits, two doors were added and the storefront relocated in 2004, and the rooftop structure was added in 2007 and expanded in 2015. Research The building at 422 Congress Avenue, originally addressed as 420-422 Congress Avenue, was constructed in 1940. It was the headquarters for the Texas Public Service Company’s natural gas division. By 1951, it was renamed as the company changed hands and became the headquarters for the Southern Union Gas Company. Property Evaluation The property does not currently contribute to the Congress Avenue National Register district, but the 2025 Downtown Austin historic resource survey lists it as a medium priority, recommends that the property be considered contributing in a future update to the 1978 National Register nomination, and identifies it as contributing to a potential local historic district. A 2015 staff report by former City of Austin Historic Preservation Officer Steve Sadowsky notes that the building does not have historic significance, though district eligibility was not considered at that time. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate to low integrity. Exterior walls were altered in 1967 and 1968 to include a projecting stucco second floor. A rooftop structure was added in 2007 and expanded in 2015. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria for landmark designation: a. Architecture. The building is a two-part commercial block with Mid-century Modern stylistic influences. It does not retain sufficient integrity to convey architectural significance. b. Historical association. The property is associated with several natural gas businesses. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Permits in National Register Historic Districts January 7, 2026 PR-2025-157738; GF-2025-158191 Congress Avenue National Register Historic District 101-105 W. 5th Street 14 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1914 noncontributing building deemed eligible for contributing status in the 2025 Downtown Austin historic resources survey. Architecture The existing building is a one-part commercial block comprising three tenant spaces, first addressed only as 105 W. 5th Street and then expanded to include a service station and a double-tenant space at 101-103 W. 5th Street by 1916. It exists today as a small portion of the alley-facing rear entry adjacent to 416 Congress Ave. Selective demolition may expose original masonry behind the stucco slipcover, likely applied as early as 1933 and continually replenished since. Research The property spanning 101 to 105 W 5th St. was used early in the development of downtown as storage space for the early frame buildings at 420 and 422 Congress Avenue. By 1885, an outbuilding and a connected shed were present at the rear of the lot. In 1914 and 1915, John Dahlich, the owner of 422 Congress, constructed three new masonry buildings at the rear of his property. The westernmost building, used as a tire shop and mechanic, featured a plate glass window and bay door. The complex included a vulcanizing plant and underground gasoline tank. The property continued to serve automobile-related businesses until the 1930s, When it was occupied by a dry cleaner, a glass company, and a grinding and sharpening shop. During the ‘40s they were home to a sign shop, a sporting goods store, a children’s clothing shop, and a beauty salon. Several of these uses continued into the mid-20th century. Property Evaluation The property does not currently contribute to the Congress Avenue National Register district, but the 2025 Downtown Austin historic resource survey lists it as a medium priority, recommends that the property be considered contributing in a future update to the 1978 National Register nomination, and identifies it as contributing to a potential local historic district.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Demolition and Relocation Permits January 7, 2026 DA-2025-142965; GF-2025-146214 Rosedale School 2117 W. 49th Street 15 – 1 Proposal Deconstruct and reconstruct a portion of the historic-age façade of a ca. 1939 building for incorporation into a new apartment building. The remainder of the building will be demolished and five additional stories will be constructed atop the first-floor façade reconstruction. Architecture The Rosedale school is a one-story brick school building with Modern stylistic influences. The original portion of the building is a simple flat-roofed brick structure with decorative string courses and expansive multi-light casement windows. Additions, constructed between 1946 and 1949 by two firms (Kuehne, Giesecke, and Brooks and Page, Southerland, and Page), replaced the original entrance with glass block windows and shifted the new entrance eastwards. The new shed- and flat-roofed wings with multi-light casements, glass block ribbon windows, and brick veneer comprised 10 additional classrooms plus a gym and cafeteria/auditorium.1 A 1949 Austin Statesman article advertising the opening of the new addition notes that the “highly modern Rosedale school” is “considered a model of functional design” following Dr. Darrell B. Harmon’s principles for classroom design.2 The extensive use of glass block and retention of maximum natural lighting in four “experimental” classrooms was dictated by the design hypothesis developed by Harmon, Director of Educational Services in the State Health Department: The south side of Rosedale School will have special windows. …The blocks will promote even distribution of light, and the vision strip will allow the children to see out. The remaining four rooms will be equipped with auxiliary diffusers based on an original design by Dr. Harmon which are placed inside the windows. These diffusers obtain maximum benefit from direct sunlight without permitting excessive brightness and threw light upward and across the ceiling from which it is reflected downward on the child’s work. This will be the only school coordinating natural and artificial light…3 Harmon’s work on the “Rosedale model” of classroom illumination was influential to educational design on a national scale during the mid-20th century. In a 2008 article for the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians, Amy Ogata describes the impact of the Rosedale model on American school design: The planning, forms, and materials of postwar schools reflected ongoing research into airflow, lighting, and reflectivity…Darell Boyd Harmon, an educator and director of school services at the Texas State Department of Health, …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Demolition and Relocation Permits January 7, 2026 DA-2025-141132 906 West 22nd Street 16 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1927 building. Architecture The property at 906 West 22nd Street in the West Campus neighborhood is a two-story intact Folk Victorian house with an L-shaped plan. It features a front porch at the right half of the front façade which is recessed under the second floor and supported by three wood posts. The house is built on piers and sits a few feet above grade. At the left, one leg of the L projects toward the street and is covered with a steep pitched gable, which creates enough height to house living space within. There appears to have been alterations made to the original roof above the porch to create more living space, which was permitted in 1948. It is unknown how much alteration of the original roof took place at that time. Research This house was originally owned by Jesse and Emily Hornsby, who were farmers either at this address or further out from Austin, making this possibly a second property closer to the city. Jesse Hornsby passed away in 1933, with the funeral services taking place at the property. For a short time after, the house was vacant, but was purchased around 1941 by David and Irene Crenshaw. At time of purchase, David Crenshaw was employed as a clerk, but in the next few years, through the 1950s and possibly further, made their living renting out rooms to University of Texas students. The address is connected with numerous names in periodicals form the time, typically students and other short-term renters It was during this time that the conversion of the second floor into additional living quarters occurred. Property Evaluation The 2020 North Central Austin historic resource survey lists the property as individually eligible for the National Register of Historic Places as well as eligible for a Austin City landmark. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate-to-high integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it may meet two criteria for landmark designation: a. Architecture. The building is a good example of Folk Victorian architecture, even with 1948 alterations. b. Historical association. The property does not appear to have significant historical associations. c. …

Architecture One-story center passage National Folk Style building with horizontal wood siding, a partial width front porch supported by turned posts, a side-gabled roof clad with standing seam metal, and double hung wood windows. While the front door has been replaced, the trim and transom above the window remain. Research The house at 907 E 13th St, originally addressed as 907 E Peach St, was built between 1873 in 1885 by Julius H. Nitschke. Nitschke and his family immigrated from Saxony, Germany in 1855. He and his four brothers owned and operated Nitschke Brothers Cabinetmakers on Congress Ave. Nitschke married Louisa Phillips in 1871. He worked as a carpenter, cabinet maker, and carpet layer until his death in 1910. His son, J.H. Nitschke Jr., also worked as a carpenter and dabbled in car repair and railroad work before becoming a career fireman. He sold 907 E 13th St. to the Goins family between 1912 and 1920. Anna Liza Goins, formerly of Manor, lived in the home until her death in 1956. She worked as a cook and as a laundress while also renting out rooms. Her children and their spouses lived with her intermittently throughout the early 20th century. After her death, her daughter Roxy Tucker lived there until at least the 1960s.

European immigrant families, numerous at the turn of the century, gradually migrated elsewhere while African American families were forced to migrate eastwards during the era of segregation.
