HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS OCTOBER 1, 2025 PR-2025-088150, HR-2025-113285 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 2514 WOOLDRIDGE DRIVE 10 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1938 building and construct a new building. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct a two-story residence with covered patio and guest house. The proposed buildings are constructed across two lots. The main building has an irregular plan, irregular roofline and fenestration, and stone veneer cladding. Its side-gabled elevation with stone-clad loggia faces the main streetscape, with full-height glazed fenestration beyond. The guest house, attached with a covered breezeway, is set back at an angle and features similar materials, detailing, and height as the main structure. ARCHITECTURE Two-story Georgian Revival house with curved portico, symmetrical shuttered windows, brick veneer, and a side-gabled roof with added dormers. RESEARCH The house at 2514 Wooldridge Drive was constructed in 1938 for Clarence McCullough and his family. McCullough, who began his career as assistant cashier at the Security Trust company, slowly rose in prominence as a banker. Eventually, he partnered with rancher and fellow real estate broker Dr. Joseph Koenig to develop the Violet Crown Heights subdivisions between 1946 and 1948, lending Koenig’s name to one of its major thoroughfares. In 1950 and 1951, they built the adjacent Violet Crown Shopping Center. “On the northwest corner of North Lamar and Brentwood Street,” notes Violet Crown historian and resident Susan Burneson, “the center was in the heart of Violet Crown Heights, Section 1.”1 In spring 2025, KUT journalist Juan Garcia and Burneson discussed the development of Austin’s most well-known midcentury center: The violet crown nickname [was] used in real estate marketing throughout the early 20th century, but few had the impact Dr. Joe Koenig and Clarence McCullough had when they started selling land in what used to be north Austin in the ‘40s…Right along [Violet Crown Heights], the pair built a shopping center in 1951. They called it the Violet Crown Shopping Center, which had a handful of violet-crown-themed businesses…immortalized as “The Emporium” in Richard Linklater’s coming-of-age film Dazed and Confused. 2 McCullough and Koenig maintained offices at the Violet Crown Shopping Center. Clarence McCullough’s son, who lived at 2514 Wooldridge Drive throughout his time at the University of Texas, later became the center’s manager.3 McCullough and his wife, Ruth, lived at the house on Wooldridge Drive until at least the 1980s.

Practice an architectural office 829 WEST JEFFERSON BOULEVARD, DALLAS, TEXAS, 75224 office@practicearchitecturaloffice.com 22 September 2025 RE: HLC Brief for 2512 and 2514 Wooldridge The home that has been designed at 2512 and 2514 Wooldridge Drive is a structure that will use a unified development agreement to create a single family residence that is aligned in scale and lot size of many of its neighbors in the district. The home uses antique tile shingle for the roof and echoes both the scale and materials of many of the historic contributing homes in the neighborhood. An arcade porch structure serves as the entrance of the home and creates a buffer between the street and more public program of the residence. Careful attention to the scale of the façade and the placement of the volumes allows the structure to sit well with the properties to the left and right. We achieved this by having a pronounced entry volume that protrudes from the façade while the remaining volumes recede into the lot. Floor to floor heights and overall structure height and mass are in keeping with the adjacent houses as well. The home seeks to continue the estate architecture of the district with a clear reference to historic form and materials while acknowledging the scale and proportion of the immediate neighbors. The home has been designed to meet the historic design standards and the zoning requirements to which it is subject. Sincerely, Patrick Craine RE: Interior design contract for 1319 Cedar Hill 1
From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Morgan Burnham Historic Preservation Office; Contreras, Kalan; McKnight, Kim John Burnham Objection to the demolition of 2514 Wooldridge Drive Tuesday, September 16, 2025 11:49:21 AM You don't often get email from Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution To Whom It May Concern, We, the owners of 2505 Wooldridge Drive, strongly object to the application to demolish 2514 Wooldridge Drive. Like many of the beautiful homes on Wooldridge drive, 2514 Wooldridge was built in the 1930s and represents an excellent example of early Pemberton Heights architecture, worthy of preservation. Demolition of this historic home would be devastating to the architectural continuity and historic fabric of Wooldridge Drive. These homes are not just structures, they are artifacts of Central Austin’s early development and embody the charm, scale, and character that make our neighborhood unique. Preserving these homes safeguards the identity of Pemberton Heights and ensures that future generations can experience this rare and irreplaceable piece of Austin’s history. As owners and stewards 2505 Wooldridge drive, we spent 3 years remodeling our home to preserve the integrity of its colonial architecture and historical significance. I would hope and expect the owners of 2514 Wooldridge to do the same. We respectfully urge you to deny the application for demolition of 2514 Wooldridge Drive.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS OCTOBER 1, 2025 PR-2025-095243; PR-2025-095042; GF-2025-095661 TRAVIS HEIGHTS- FAIRVIEW PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 1709 DRAKE AVENUE 11.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1925 residence and construct a house. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish a single-story detached house, which is a contributing resource to the National Register historic district. 2) Construct a two-story single-family house in generally the same location. ARCHITECTURE The Craftsman bungalow located at 1709 Drake Avenue is a single-story house with a corner inset porch and front gabled roof. The street facing façade features two pairs of hung windows which appear to be original. There is a small roof covering the front of the porch, inset among the larger gables. This roof is supported by decorative brackets and some rafter tails are visible from the street. The house’s foundation is pier and beam, and it is overall in good condition. RESEARCH Upon construction at the end of the 1920s, the property went through a series of owners until at least the 1950s. Many of these residents were local craftspeople and service industry workers, and for a time the owners and operators of a local café lived at the address. Despite many of the owners only living at the address for a short time, several later lived in other parts of Travis Heights or South Austin before and after their stay at 1709 Drake Avenue. 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 New construction is proposed in generally the same location as the existing building. 2. Orientation The two-story residence faces the street, similar to the existing building. 3. Scale, massing, and height A two-story residence replaces a one-story building as proposed. Per Standard 3.1, the height of new construction should respond to nearby contributing structures. There are some contributing structures that have two stories, but these are often later additions or set back from the front. However, the side gable construction at the second floor proposed in this application does minimize its overall visual height. 4. Proportions The proposed new construction generally keeps with the proportions of contributing properties on the block and in the district. Mentioned above, the second story is …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS OCTOBER 1, 2025 HR-2025-097033 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 1907 KENWOOD AVENUE 12.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Rehabilitate and restore a contributing property. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Address lapsed safety requirements and code compliance at exterior, including reinforcing handrails and possible slab repairs. 2) Repair or replace boarded over window openings and construct a glazed curtain wall assembly at front entry. 3) Reconstruct roof and replace flat roof assembly with low slope, metal finish assembly. 4) Excavate at side basement window to allow for egress. 5) Repair exterior masonry as needed. ARCHITECTURE The house is located on a sloped site and appears as a single-story building from the street. At the rear of the property, a second, lower floor comes into view. It is clad on all sides by a buff or tan stone, with several metal framed windows either present or previously installed facing the street. Due to neglect, it is uncertain how many remain, and in what condition. The house features a flat roof that is in deteriorated condition. Structurally, the building appears to be in repairable condition. RESEARCH Originally constructed at or around 1948, the property saw several owners over its first few years. The most notable of these was Archie Francis and his wife, the owners of a local flooring store. It is unknown whether a longer-term owner took over the property after this, and in recent years the property has been neglected, and significant rehabilitation is required. 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: Repair and alterations 1. General standards Most exterior materials, specifically the stone cladding, is to be restored and retained. Some windows have been significantly damaged and require replacement. The flat roof is no longer draining properly, and a new, slightly sloped system, is proposed. This is expected to be minimally visible from the street. 2. Foundations The foundation, which serves as a basement wall, is to be retained. One window opening is expected to be expanded in order to allow for emergency egress, but it will be minimally invasive and out of sight of the right of way. 3. Roofs The current flat roof system is not providing adequate water shedding …

ARCHITECTURE Two-story stucco building with irregular roofline and fenestration. Its covered porch still displays Craftsman detailing, though the building has been altered. RESEARCH The house at 1513 Murray Lane, originally addressed as 1313 Murray Lane, was constructed around 1927. Though it was home to several prominent Austin businesspeople, including Edgar Perry, Jr. and Marjorie Wendlandt, most of its owners resided in the home for only a short time. Its longest-term owner-occupant, Mrs. Emilie Ebeling, was the daughter of New Braunfels mayor Adolph Giesecke. She moved to Austin after the death of her husband, Marble Falls banker and farmer Otto Ebeling. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Old West Austin National Register Historic District. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate to low integrity. Significant alterations were constructed between 2008 and 2012. 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 Craftsman bungalow but has been too altered to convey significance. 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 approve the demolition permit application upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package.

ARCHITECTURE The house at 1508 Pease Road is a simple rectangle in plan with the front half of the house covered by a side gable roof. There are some Colonial Revival influences on the house, including a broken pediment with decorative urn molding above the front door and symmetrical front façade. The original siding has been covered or replaced with a vinyl-type material, and the windows have been replaced with vinyl units. Despite these alterations, the form of the house is intact. A concrete front porch, painted blue, is present in front of the house, which is slightly elevated above grade. RESEARCH When first constructed in the 1930s, the house was owned by William & Kay Ransom. William Ransom worked in the family’s drug store business as a salesman. After they moved, the house was occupied for over three decades by Matthew and Ethel Balagia. During this time, Matthew Balagia worked several jobs, including as a butcher and a clerk. In their ownership of the property, there was also a garage apartment at the rear of the house that was constructed and often housed students and workers. After her husband’s passing sometime after 1977, Ethel Balagia lived at the house for several more years. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Old West Austin 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).

ARCHITECTURE The property is an intact single story Craftsman bungalow that has been well maintained. The front corner features an inset porch, which has two front doors leading inside. A large wood frame picture window faces the street, and, along with other windows on the front and sides of the house, appear to be original or of compatible material. Due to the slightly sloped terrain, the house is elevated on piers and a concrete stair leads from the front walk to the porch. The main roof is front gabled and features brackets and attic vents at its peak. RESEARCH Upon construction sometime between 1925 and 1930, the house was first owned by Patrick and Lottie Parker. Patrick worked at a projectionist in Austin, and they moved away shortly after 1930. The house was then bought and occupied for the next 20 years by Roy and Lula Short. Mr. Short worked in managerial roles and was involved with the American Legion at this time. Together, they raised their family at the address before moving out of town in the early 1950s.

ARCHITECTURE This single-story house is a 1950s ranch house with a front facing gable at one side covering the front entry. An attached garage at the other end of the house leads to the front porch by a walkway and crosses in front of a large picture window. The house is clad in wide horizontal wood siding, with some decorative wood boards at the gable end. The form is low and horizontal, common for ranch houses of the era, and is a good example of the style. RESEARCH The house was owned and occupied by members of the Hamby family, who were related to the owners of the Hoffbrau, and worked as managers and bartenders in the 1950s. The first of this family to occupy the property were Robert & Mary Hamby, with Tom Hamby listed as owner by the 1960s. By the 1970s, Robert and Tom were listed as owners of the Hoffbrau in local papers. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the West Line National Register district.
