2 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION August 5, 2026 Briefing: Demolition Permit Applications for Property Owned by Religious Organizations 1906-1908 Nueces Street Purpose Texas Local Government Code § 211.0165 provides municipal authority for historic landmark designation. In 2019, the Texas Legislature amended that authority through House Bill 2496, 86 (R). In addition to introducing a supermajority requirement for landmark designation over owner objection, the bill mandated that property owned by a religious organization may not be designated without owner consent. Per the attached 2021 memo to the Historic Landmark Commission, to comply with city code and state law, the Historic Preservation Office must administratively approve all applications for the demolition or relocation of a building owned by a religious organization without first scheduling a hearing at the Historic Landmark Commission. At Regular Meetings, as necessary, staff provide the Commission with a briefing regarding any such action taken since the prior Commission meeting. Prior Action The two properties located at 1906 and 1908 Nueces Street, owned by a religious organization, were approved for demolition on July 16, 2026. The structure at 1906 Nueces St. was constructed in 1930, and the structure at 1908 Nueces St. was constructed in 1918. At both properties, total demolition of the structures are proposed.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificate of Appropriateness August 5, 2026 PR-2026-008188; GF-2026-025308 Robertson/Stuart & Mair Historic District 1005 East 8th Street 4 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1906 house listed as contributing to a local historic district. Architecture The house at 1005 East 8th St. was likely originally constructed as a single story building, with the sloping elevation of the site creating a crawlspace or cellar to the east side of the building footprint. Since its construction, this has been enclosed, and a rear addition built, increasing the enclosed area of the building. However, the U-shaped form and Folk Victorian elements still read legibly, and decorative elements, especially at the front porch and gable ends, remain present. The integrity of the architecture is strong and the property remains contributing to the Robertson/Stuart & Mair historic district. Research For the first 30 years after construction, the property went through a series of renters, made up of families and individuals employed by various local industries and services, including carpenters, foundry workers, and porters. The first long term owners were Ernest & Marie Kemp, who operated a local grocery. Marie Kemp continued to live at the address after her husband’s death, but by the 1950s, the property was vacant before becoming subdivided for oil industry and other professional offices. A third housing unit was added in 1970, indicating that this property continued use as residential rentals. An overnight fire occurred at the property on November 12th, 20251. Department Comments This application will time out on September 14, 2026. Property Evaluation The property contributes to the Robertson/Stuart & Mair Historic District. Staff Recommendation Consider backup provided to determine need for total demolition versus opportunity for partial demolition or repair to the damaged existing structure. If more information or discussion is needed, postpone the public hearing to the September 2, 2026 Historic Landmark Commission meeting. 1 “Firefighter injured in East Austin house fire, investigation underway”. https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/afd-responding-to- house-fire-in-east-austin-no-injuries-reported Location Map 4 – 2 Property Information Photos 4 – 3 Texas Historical Commission, photograph, May 29, 1975.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificate of Appropriateness August 5, 2026 HR-2026-090085 Hyde Park Historic District 4412 Avenue B 5 – 1 Proposal Rehabilitate a National Register-listed property and construct a rear addition. Project Specifications 1) Repair and restore historic materials dating from or around original construction, including windows, siding, porches, and interior features. 2) Insulate the exterior walls by removing siding, installing insulation and a vapor barrier, then reinstalling the original siding. Where material is deteriorated, patching will occur with new material installed in least visible locations. 3) Construct an addition at the rear of the property, to be tied into the area of the structure historically used for services and back-of-house space. Architecture Constructed shortly before 1900, the two-story residence sits prominently on what was one of the rear blocks of the Hyde Park development. It features a visually octagonal front room that projects forward from one end towards the street, which is capped with a steep roof punctuated by several triangular gables decorated with ornamented flashing and millwork. Along most of the front of both the first and second floors, porches are present that once wrapped around the side of the house, which have since seen their sides enclosed. A steep metal roof above the second floor creates a prominent, tall structure that was very visible when it was first constructed, now settled in around neighboring trees and other structures. Research The property was constructed by Frank Taylor and Belle Ramsey, who lived there for almost 40 years. At this time, Frank Ramsey ran a horticulture business, where numerous cultivars of peaches, plums, and apples were grown and developed, both in greenhouses to the south of the property as well as in fields to the north, across what is today West 45th Street. Throughout their ownership, the Frank Ramsey gained notoriety across Texas and was referred to in newspapers as “the most widely known nurseryman of the Lone Star State.” After their deaths, the property stayed in the family for another ten years before being sold to Fred & Birdie Sturdivant, who were involved in the local dairy business. Design Standards The Hyde Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1. General Standards 1.1 Prevention of Demolition The proposed work will retain the overall structure and vast majority of historic material present at the …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Permits in National Register Historic Districts August 5, 2026 PR-2026-053670 Travis Heights-Fairview Park Historic District 1109 Travis Heights Boulevard 6 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1920 house. Architecture This American Foursquare house with Prairie School stylistic influences was constructed around 1920. The two- story house has a low-pitched hipped roof with broad overhangs. The full-width, hipped-roof porch has a long, open span supported at the corners by large square columns. The second floor had recessed corners that been infilled and converted to interior space. Much of the house has been covered with aluminum siding. Wood windows appear throughout the building, with larger, multi-lite fixtures appearing at the front elevation and simpler 1-over-1 units more common at the sides and rear. Research Early owners of this ca. 1920 house were Elmer & Cora Young. E. E. Young was co-owner of an automotive dealership, Hart & Young, Willys-Knight and Overland Austin Agency; he later bought out his partner and continued operation under his name. He served as president of the local automobile dealers’ association. Shortly before his death in 1928, Young became secretary of the Stacy Realty Company, developer of the Travis Heights neighborhood. Later owners included Charles & Katherine Brunner, who owned the house from 1929 until 1947. Charles Brunner operated a jewelry business on East Sixth St. beginning in the late 1890s. After his death in 1933, Katherine Brunner continued to run the jewelry store for another ten years. It appears that she leased out the house following her husband’s death but moved back in around 1941. In the 1950s, the house was occupied by Robert B. and Gwendolyn Hill. Robert Hill was a foreman at the Calcasieu Lumber Company. Department Comments A demolition permit for this property was originally referred to HLC in July 2019 (HDP-2019-0379), and the case was subsequently withdrawn. Meeting minutes are available here: https://services.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=325930. A demolition application for the garage at the rear of the property was submitted in 2024 (PR-2024-055675), but this was later withdrawn upon the subsequent owner’s purchase of the property. This property also attended the January 15, 2025 Architectural Review Committee meeting to discuss a potential remodel, though no permit application was submitted for this scope of work.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Permits in National Register Historic Districts August 5, 2026 PR-2026-059982; GF-2026-073317 Travis Heights-Fairview Park Historic District 2009 Travis Heights Boulevard 7 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1939 house. Architecture The original portion of this house can be seen at the right two thirds of the street-facing façade, which still retains some Tudor Revival details such as the arched door and steep roof pitch. Original side lites and modest front porch with concrete stairs continue with this style. The exterior material is stucco or plaster, which may be original but has been painted. To the north of the main house is a 2012 addition of a covered porch, which was enclosed with walls covered in matching painted stucco, and appears from the street as conditioned space. Behind this is a pergola that is also enclosed by full height walls, though no roof covers it. Research Original owners of this house S.R. & Maxine Blake, who worked in sales and briefly lived at the property before it was acquired by Frank & Florence Schirripa, then Jason & Virginia Forbes, who owned the property for the next ten years. During their ownership, Jason Forbes went from a record keeper at the Texas State House Reporter to a correspondent and finally an editor of the publication. By 1957, the property was sold again to Floy & Pearl Forister. Department Comments Per city code § 25-11-213 (G)(4), the Historic Landmark Commission has 180 days to review demolition permits in National Register historic districts starting from the date the application was submitted. This period is set to time out on November 9, 2026. 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 an intact, if altered, example of Tudor Revival architecture in the district. 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, …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Permits in National Register Historic Districts August 5, 2026 PR-2026-088618; HR-2026-095060 Travis Heights-Fairview Park Historic District 1207 Bickler Road 8 – 1 Proposal Construct a rear addition at a ca. 1927 house. Project Specifications 1) Partially demolish areas behind the front rooms of the property, including sections currently located in a drainage easement. 2) Construct a rear, two-story addition in a similar location to the non-original single story addition to be demolished. Architecture The structure is a single-story Craftsman bungalow with a front facing gable roof. To one side of the front façade is an inset porch with the front door located to the side wall, not facing the street. Several decorative elements remain, including brackets and millwork on the window screens. The walls are clad in original wood lapped siding and the house is set on a slightly elevated foundation. Research Upon construction in 1927, the property went through numerous owners, most of whom were employed in local businesses. City directory research indicates that no owner resided at the address for longer than five years, and there appears to be no familiar or professional relationship between any of the owners. 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 Demolition is located behind the front rooms of the house and at an existing rear addition. It is recommended to retain as much of that material as possible either in place or as reuse elsewhere in the project. Residential additions 1. Location The proposed location is entirely behind the main house and will be minimally visible from the sides. Compared to the existing rear addition, it is not expected to project out from the side and will remain more out of sight from this angle. 2. Scale, massing, and height Due to the location being behind the main house, the two-story addition will be reduced visible through retention of the two front rooms. While it is recommended that the front of the second floor start further back from the front of the house, the site limitations prohibit pushing this space further back, and the design overall meets the standards. 3. Design and style The design of the rear …
