DEEp EDDy CAbARET CONDITION ASSESSmENT O C TObE R 2024 ARCHITECTURE & CONSERVATION DEEP EDDY CABARET CONDITION ASSESSMENT October 2, 2024 Will Bridges, Owner Deep Eddy Cabaret 2315 Lake Austin Blvd. Austin, Texas Re: Condition Assessment for Deep Eddy Cabaret PREFACE Hutson Gallagher, LLC (HG) is an architectural firm that specializes in providing services for public and commercial historic buildings. In August 2024, HG was contact by Will Bridges to discuss needed repairs for the historic Deep Eddy Cabaret, located at 2315 Lake Austin Boulevard in Austin. The building was recently designated as a City of Austin Historic Landmark. HG team members, Chris Hutson and Tracy Hirschman Hutson, met with Mr. Bridges on site, on August 29th to review concerns about various conditions he believed were beyond basic maintenance. This assessment report was commissioned to serve two purposes, the first to enable the architectural team to develop repair recommendations going forward, and to provide the Owner with a holistic view of the building’s current condition. This assessment outlines on- site observations, includes a summary of recommendations for needed repairs, and provides an estimated opinion of probable cost to aid with the budget planning aspect as they approach the work. It is understood the company anticipates pursing grant funding to aid the cost of repairs. Phases planning for the execution of identified scopes of work is also expected. Extensive photographs were taken of the conditions and are compiled in the Appendix section at the end of this document. HISTORY The Deep Eddy Cabaret is a stone and brick masonry building on a sloped site at the southeast corner of the intersection of Lake Austin Blvd. and Deep Eddy Avenue. Originally constructed circa 1914 or 1915, as a neighborhood grocery store, the building has undergone multiple changes and additions. In July, 2024 the Deep Eddy Cabaret was designated as a City of Austin Landmark.1 Based on remaining evidence and early Sanborn maps, the original building footprint was approximately 20 by 40 feet with stone walls on the west, south, and east elevations and a brick front façade. The original pitched roof was set within the masonry, as evidenced by remaining flashing in the attic and a photograph from circa 1915 that shows a portion of the east wall. 2 The current roof structure was likely added in the 1920s or early 1930s when the building was expanded to the south. This expansion …
Heritage Preservation Grant 2024 - Deep Eddy Cabaret Address: 2315 Lake Austin Blvd., Austin, TX 78703 History: The site was owned by Austin pioneer Charles Johnson who emigrated from Sweden in 1854. Two Johnson children founded the “Deep Eddy Resort,” a privately run bathing hole in the nearby Colorado River. It was sold to the City in 1935 and is one of the oldest swimming pools in the state. The family retained ownership of the smaller parcel where the Grocery was opened ca. 1915. The Grocery/Cabaret has a 100-year association with the Deep Eddy/Tarrytown neighborhood and has continuously served customers, first as a bait and tackle shop and grocery outfit between ca. 1915 through the 1940s, and then as a local bar and gathering place beginning in the 1950s through present-day. In 2023, an Austin Chronicle article stated the Deep Eddy Cabaret “remains one of the oldest – and most beloved—bars in the city.” Scope of Work: Phase 1 of this project will focus on exterior repair and restoration. Work will preserve and rehabilitate existing historic building material, with a goal to restore the red tile roof. The existing tile will be reused and supplemented with new reproduction pieces as needed. All deteriorated exterior wood elements, including framing, will be repaired. Improved attic ventilation and moisture infiltration mitigation, gutters repaired/replaced as needed, with improved water drainage, repair and repointing of exterior limestone and stucco repairs, the preservation/conservation of historic wall mural, door and windows restoration, and electrical repairs.

Land Acknowledgment Land acknowledgments are a practice to recognize Indigenous Peoples as original stewards of the land who still have an enduring relationship with their traditional territories. We include this acknowledgment in the Equity-Based Preservation Plan as an expression of gratitude and appreciation to those whose territory we reside on and a way of honoring the Indigenous Peoples who have lived and worked on the land known as Austin, Texas. Land acknowledgments do not exist in the past tense or historical context. Colonialism is a current and ongoing process, and we need to be mindful that we are participating in it by living on colonized land. To ensure meaningful recognition and inclusion of Indigenous Peoples, more work needs to happen as part of the implementation of this plan. We acknowledge, with respect, that the land known as Texas has been home to many groups for more than 16,000 years. These include the Tonkawa, the Mescalero Apache, the Lipan Apache, the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo (Tigua people), the Texas Band of Yaqui Indians, the Coahuiltecan, the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas, the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas, the …

CITY OF AUSTIN SCOPE OF WORK QUALITY OF LIFE STUDY OF AUSTIN’S AGING POPULATION SOLICITATION NO. RFQS 4400 SAR4008 1.0 Introduction About the Commission on Aging The City of Austin, Texas, population 840,000, is the 13th largest city in the country. The Commission on Aging (formerly Commission on Seniors) serves as an advisory board to the Austin City Council concerning the quality of life for older adults in the Austin area and to help ensure older adults are productive, independent, and healthy. The Commission advises the council on issues related to older adults in the Austin area; evaluates and recommends programs, policies, and practices that create a positive impact and reduce the burden on older adults; determines the needs of older adults in the Austin community and advises council regarding these needs; and promotes the contributions older adults make to the cultural, economic, and historical value of Austin. The 2010 Census data showed significant demographic population growth. Austin was one of the fastest- growing pre-seniors/senior populations in the nation. In response to Austin’s increasing age diversity, former Mayor Lee Leffingwell convened a Task Force on Aging in 2012-13. He charged the group with developing strategic recommendations to ensure our aging neighbors have the resources to be healthy, independent, and integrated into community life. The Task Force was composed of a diverse group of leaders from non-profit organizations, funding entities, businesses, and academia. The St. David’s Foundation and Seton Foundation provided leadership and support. Additionally, 15 graduate students from the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas conducted research to support the Task Force’s efforts. Students met with area experts, studied national best practices, and engaged approximately 500 local older adults through a multi-topic survey. The result of the Task Force efforts included a report and a set of recommendations that focused resources on ensuring adequate support was in place to help each of us continue to contribute to our community while we age with dignity. The Task Force recommended two new vehicles to ensure our community successfully serves and benefits from the aging of our population over time: a new City of Austin Commission on Seniors (now Commission on Aging) and a new independent non-profit group to convene, advocate and coordinate across the community: AustinUP. 2.0 Purpose The City of Austin (City) seeks qualifications from entities (Contractor) to complete a quality of life study that supports the …

Greater Austin Vietnamese Network Presents “ A 9000-mile Dream” Austin Vietnamese Cultural Community Center Luan Tran, Gerontologist Founder of Greater Austin Vietnamese Network (GAVN) CEO of Austin Vietnamese American Medical Professional (AVAMPS) Vice-President of Austin Vietnamese Senior Citizens (AVSC) Luanntran@yahoo.com 512-496-3285 October 9, 2024 Austin, TX Good afternoon Commission on Aging, THANK YOU for allowing me to share with you our story today. Just for today, I would like to speak on behalf of 102 Vietnamese seniors who have sent me here to share with you their lived experiences. They are members of the Austin Vietnamese Senior Citizens which is a non-profit organization established 36 years ago. How does AVSC impact the quality of life for Vietnamese seniors? The Austin Vietnamese Senior Citizens provides an essential and consistent source of social, cognitive, emotional, physical, and nutritional enrichment for the Vietnamese seniors of Austin. AVSC has touched the lives of hundreds of past members over a 36-year span. The senior center has continued to create a culturally based, safe, and fun environment for its current members. Additionally, it has also facilitated meaningful life-long friendships and support networks within the Vietnamese community. For many seniors, this center is the only place of socialization with a free hot Vietnamese meal. Moreover, for over three decades, AVSC has continued to be a vital part of life- “beating heart” for the Vietnamese seniors. To date, AVCS has outgrown their space and although we have adapted over 36 years in the same space, it has become an inefficient and unsafe environment. The internal small space of 1,000 SQ space is outdated and is not ADA compliant without a ramp or elevator. When more than 60 members congregate, it is standing room only. Externally there is no dedicated Handicap parking spaces or enough parking spaces for 30 cars. As the aging Vietnamese population continues to increase in the greater Austin area, the seniors will need a larger space with ADA considerations and ample parking spaces to congregate on a weekly basis. In summary, AVCS desperately and passionately wants to expand to meet the growing needs of the aging community of Austin with more culturally based programs, services, and ultimately preserving and passing on our heritage. Unfortunately, we do not have the infrastructure to expand and grow.
