Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Thank you, a quick follow up on this since you were so kind to summarize and offer to answer any questions: 1) Sub-divide: I am a bit confused if the demo is not (or even if it is) approved — is this a property that would allow to be split up with condos or is it limited to a single family home? And if so, there are some serious challenges to that property including: A) Expansive clay soils on a slope. B) Springs water that seeps out of slope and destabilizes the soil (and will require extensive civil engineering to create stability and properly manage drainage C) A ton of Landmark tress (larger the Heritage trees) are very, very close to house. As the immediate next door neighbor this is a huge issue for us. If water is diverted to our property, it can destabilize the foundation, cause erosion of the bearing soil on which our home sits. If “renovation” happens the trees and drainage status quo should be maintained. 2) LGBTQ community importance: Is the city aware of the historical importance of this home to the LGBTQA history of the city? O’Quinn’s son held many parties for the LGBTQ+ community at that house. It was THE party home for this community when there was far more discrimination and barriers for this community than the current moment.. It was a landmark for them as a safe, private place to gather away from scrutiny.. I just don’t know if that’s been documented and is definitely a truth about the home and its history. --------------------------------------------------------- Aaron Rochlen, Ph.D. Area Chair Counseling Psychology/Counselor Education Department of Educational Psychology 512.471.0361 --------------------------------------------------------- On Apr 23, 2024, at 9:41 AM, HPD Preservation <Preservation@austintexas.gov> wrote: Good morning Aaron, Thank you for writing in!

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS MAY 1, 2024 PR-2024-025110; GF-2024-028852 3205 TOM GREEN STREET 18 – 1 Demolish a ca. 1937 duplex and detached garage. PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Two-story, square-plan duplex with horizontal wood siding, screened 1:1 and 6:6 wood windows, and a hipped roof. The duplex at 3205 Tom Green Street was built as a rental property in 1937. Its proximity to the University of Texas and to State offices made it an attractive home for students, State officials, and bookkeepers. Several insurance industry employees also lived in the house. Most tenants were short-term, and most were either single or lived only with one other person or spouse. This type of building was typical in Austin’s early years, as new and part-time residents moved into the area and sought smaller apartments and duplexes. PROPERTY EVALUATION The North Central Austin survey lists the property as contributing to a potential historic district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high 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 good example of an early-twentieth-century duplex. 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, then relocation over demolition, but release the demolition permit upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package.

Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Hello Kalan, I live in North University and often walk by 3205 Tom Green. This home is a defining part of our neighborhood with distinguishing architectural features, especially the front door frame. It also represents a specific time in Austin’s history. This structure has been affordable housing for years and tearing it down makes no sense. Too many affordable homes have already been lost in our neighborhood. With the high interest rates and high costs of labor it is impossible that any new structure could be more affordable. Destroying structures such as this one also leaves a ragged hole in the fabric of our neighborhood. It’s not just the loss of this particular structure but a continuing loss of my neighborhood that is a concern. Also tearing down this existing structure and building something new would mean more GHG emissions and more waste. All the embodied energy used to build this nice home (and any renovations) would be thrown away. Austin was once an environmentally conscious city. It’s appearing that there is no longer a concern for the environment. There appears to be plenty of space for an additional unit on the property. Leaving the structure that is there and adding another one makes much more sense, but only if impervious cover issues are taken into consideration. Thank you for your time to consider these reason for not demolishing this distinctive home …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS MAY 1, 2024 DA-2024-025871; GF-2024-043939 400 WEST LIVE OAK STREET, BUILDINGS A-G 19 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Demolish 7 buildings associated with St. John’s Lutheran Church (1950-1966) and the Mary Lee School. The 1951 church building is cross-gabled and clad in structural clay tile. Deep eaves frame its largest front-facing gable, and Tudor Revival-style woodwork ornaments the smaller gablet above the entryway. Windows have been replaced and some openings altered, though the original windows that remain appear to be multi-light steel casements. Later buildings B, D, and E are constructed of red brick, with gabled rooflines and vertical wood accents. Fenestration has been heavily altered. Buildings C and F are clad in horizontal vinyl siding and have replacement windows. Building G is a non-historic-age portable structure. The main church building on the property was constructed in 1951 for the St. John’s Lutheran Church congregation. It served as the Church’s South Austin campus until 1966, when a new sanctuary was commissioned at 301 West Ben White Boulevard. In 1966, the campus was purchased by Charlene Crump, owner and director of the Mary Lee School. Crump founded the school in 1963 as a “halfway house” and vocational training facility for girls and women with intellectual or developmental disabilities. The program quickly outgrew the one-story house in which it began,1 and 31 students moved into the former church campus in 1966.2 Though other branches of the Mary Lee School were established elsewhere throughout the 1960s and 1970s, 400 West Live Oak remained its headquarters; the original branch focused on rehabilitating women with IDD so that they could live independently, a groundbreaking model for the time.3 By 1973, the school had 81 students, who each lived there an average of 18 months.4 Later that year, the Mary Lee School’s rural ranch outside Manchaca came under fire for allegations of abuse, health hazards, segregation, and other violations of its pupils’ safety by Representative Lane Denton, chairman of a Texas House subcommittee investigating Texas childcare facilities. However, the 400 West Live Oak campus was declared “in good order” by Denton, and no formal investigation of the ranch facility was ever conducted.5 The organization weathered further hiring and abuse lawsuits in 19756; details on their resolutions are limited in the archival record. By 1985, the Mary Lee Foundation had grown to encompass seven residential facilities for children and adults.7 …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS MAY 1, 2024 PR-2024-021145; GF-2024-043942 7304-06 KNOX LANE 20 – 1 PROPOSAL Relocate an early twentieth century house with 1940s vernacular additions outside the City limits. ARCHITECTURE The building at 7304 Knox Lane is an eclectic house with early Ranch and vernacular stylistic influences applied to what appears to be an early-twentieth-century vernacular farmhouse. It is one and one-half stories in height, with an L-shaped plan and intersecting partial-width porches. Its compound roofline features deep eaves with cedar shakes at gable ends. Fenestration includes 8:8 wood windows of varying dimensions. RESEARCH The house at Knox Lane and Running Rope Lane, known as 7304 or 7306 Knox, was constructed in the early twentieth century and augmented by the Knox family in the 1940s. The land was purchased in the 1930s by Mary Lou and Warren Penn Knox. W. P. Knox, the district commissioner for the Boy Scouts of America, turned the property into a day camp for boys called Running Rope Ranch. Knox was a Vermont native who moved to Austin after World War I. After serving as an Army captain in World War II, he became involved in Central Texas outdoor youth activities, including work as the official operator of the Arrowhead Ranch Camp in Kerrville, before opening Running Rope Ranch in the 1940s. The ranch offered riding lessons, hiking and survival training, swimming in the spring-fed pool—the land boasted seven natural springs, which were later identified by Margaret Thomas Knox as a habitat of the threatened Jollyville Plateau salamander1—and other outdoorsmanship training. From 1959 to 1966, legendary Austin horsewoman Ginger Pool taught at the ranch.2 The Knox family operated the day camp for ten years. Knox, noted as “larger than life” in posthumous publications, had eclectic interests. He entertained his pupils by showcasing rope tricks he learned as a rodeo performer after WWI. He was a life member of the Marshall Ford Game Protective Association, volunteered on the Council of the Texas Confederate Home for Men, and taught Sunday school at University United Methodist Church. In later years, James and Margaret Thomas Knox and their children moved to the property. Margaret Knox, Captain W. P. Knox’s daughter-in-law, was the daughter of famed Austin architect Roy L. Thomas. She married aviator and P.O.W. James Knox in 1944. After he retired from the military, the couple moved back to his family home in 1966. …

21 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS MAY 1, 2024 PR-2024-029444; GF-2024-043945 801 WEST 29TH STREET PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Partially demolish and construct a second-floor addition to a ca. 1927 house. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The proposed project adds a second story to an existing one-story house. The proposed addition extends the existing roof ridge at the main elevation to add height to the side-gabled roof and adds new dormers and additional windows. The 2020 North Central survey lists the building as a cross-gabled bungalow with Craftsman and Tudor Revival stylistic influences. It is one story in height, with double-hung wood windows and horizontal wood siding. The house at 801 West 29th Street, originally called 901 West 29th Street, was constructed around 1927. Its first residents were the Reverend William D. Bills and his wife, Susie. Bills worked as the pastor for the University Church of Christ. They sold the house to James P. and Martha McPherson in the early 1930s. James McPherson, called Jack, owned and operated the Texas Nut Candy Company, later called McPherson’s Candy and the Capitol Candy Company. Several of the McPhersons’ children also worked at the candy company, though one daughter became a teacher at Metz Elementary School. Mrs. Martha McPherson was a pianist and taught lessons until she left Austin in 1946. In the late 1950s, the home was rented by private detective Virginia L. White. PROPERTY EVALUATION The 2020 North Central Austin historic resource survey lists the property as contributing to potential local and National Register historic districts. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352).

22 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS MAY 1, 2024 PR-2024-037714; GF-2024-043948 501 TEXAS AVENUE PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Partially demolish, remodel, and construct an addition to a ca. 1922 duplex. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Remodel and construct a two-story addition and front-facing garage to the existing duplex. The proposed project also includes window and siding replacement. Duplex with Craftsman details at first and second floors, including exposed rafter tails, triangular brackets at gable ends, and decorative gable vents. It has 1:1 wood windows and horizontal wood siding. The house at 501 Texas Avenue, addressed originally as 501 E. 37th Street, was constructed around 1922. L. P. Rankin and his family were its first occupants. Rankin worked as a traveling representative of the Southwest Drug Corporation. After his death in 1938. Mrs. Leslie Rankin took ownership of the house and attended night school. Leslie Rankin and her two daughters all attended the University of Texas; Rankin later joined the Federated Business and Professional Women’s Club with her daughter Mary Helen. She rented out half of the duplex throughout her tenure in the home, until at least 1952. PROPERTY EVALUATION The 2020 North Central Austin survey lists the property as a medium priority. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high 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 good example of a Craftsman-style duplex. b.
