December 8, 2023 To: Historic Landmark Commission From: Eastwoods Neighborhood Association Regarding: Demolition application for 701 Sparks Avenue We very much appreciate your initiation of Historic Landmark zoning for the property at 701 Sparks Avenue. Now we urge you to proceed with forwarding a recommendation for that designation. In its most recent meeting, the Eastwoods Neighborhood Association voted unanimously to support preservation of that property. The house at 701 Sparks is the keystone entrance to Sparks Avenue, a one-block long street of interesting older homes at the north end of Eastwoods Park. It was one of the earliest houses on the street, built in the 1920s when a few other innovative Mediterranean style stucco houses were being built in the neighborhood, such as the one at 3109 Harris Park Ave at the corner of 32 Street, one block away. Architect Hugo Kuehne of the UT School of Architecture, whose home at 500 E 32nd Street was of this style, influenced the introduction of the smaller versions. nd Others have described the association with residents of the house, but we will say how it is valued by the neighborhood. We live here because we enjoy the interesting mixture of housing styles and types and the informal ambience. The Seminary of the Southwest with its historic Rather House and pleasant campus sits at one corner of the neighborhood and Eastwoods Park holds a place in the center. Waller Creek divides the neighborhood and provides a natural habitat of trees and the creek. The overall feeling is of a pleasant community. In this small neighborhood our houses are mostly old, at least pre-World War II and of varying styles. Because of our proximity to UT, many of the houses were built by professors, some of prominence, such as J. Frank Dobie and Hyman Ettlinger, and some now provide housing for students. Many original houses have accessory dwellings built over the years to provide income for the homeowners. My own 1914-vintage house on Bellevue Place is a historic landmark and features a large garage apartment built in 1938 which we have rented to international graduate students for 25 years. Two other historic landmark houses on my block are similarly used. Perhaps due to its proximity to the law school, the neighborhood is mostly quiet and welcoming to students. The house at 701 Sparks has been rented for years and until very recently was maintained …

January 4, 2024 To: Historic Landmark Commission From: Eastwoods Neighborhood Associa�on Regarding: Demoli�on applica�on for 701 Sparks Avenue We write in support of Historic Landmark designa�on for 701 Sparks Avenue. This house is the keystone entrance to Sparks Avenue, a one-block long street at the north end of Eastwoods Park. It was one of the earliest houses on the street, built in the 1920s when a few innova�ve stucco Mediterranean style houses were being built in the neighborhood, such as the one at 3109 Harris Park Ave at the corner of 32nd Street, which marks the entrance into the neighborhood from East 32nd Street. Others will describe the architectural significance of the house, and describe its associa�on with people of note in the community, but we will say how it is valued by the neighborhood. We live here because we like the interes�ng mixture of housing styles and types and the parklike ambience. The Seminary of the Southwest with its historic Rather House and pleasant campus sits at one corner of the neighborhood and Eastwoods Park holds a place in the center. Waller Creek divides the neighborhood and provides a natural exhibit of trees and the creek. The overall feeling is of a comfortable community. Our houses are mostly old, at least pre-World War II and of varying styles. Because of our proximity to UT, many of the houses were built by professors and some now provide rental housing for students. Many original houses have accessory dwellings built over the years to provide income for the homeowners. My own house on Bellevue Place, built In 1914, is a historic landmark and we have a large 1938-vintage apartment in the rear which we have rented for 25 years to five interna�onal graduate students. Two other historic houses on my block are similarly used. Several area houses have been used as rentals in recent years. Perhaps due to its proximity to the law school, the neighborhood is mostly quiet and welcoming to students. The house at 701 Sparks also has been revised for ren�ng. Un�l very recently the house was maintained well and the landscaping was atrac�ve. When the owner died it was sold off-market early last year. The new owner has not maintained the landscaping and has removed all the trees off the east side of the property, leaving the east side of the house barren and exposed. We hope the …

The property embodies the distinguishing characteristics of a recognized architectural style, type, or method of construction; exemplifies technological innovation in design or construction; displays high artistic value in representing ethnic or folk art, architecture, or construction; represents a rare example of an architectural style in the city; serves as an outstanding example of the work of an architect, builder, or artisan who significantly contributed to the development of the city, state, or nation; possesses cultural, historical, or architectural value as a particularly fine or unique example of a utilitarian or vernacular structure; or represents an architectural curiosity or one-of-a-kind building. The house is an excellent example of the Free Classic variant of Queen Anne architecture and is likely one-of-a-kind in Austin. The application describes its significance as follows: The Yarrington-Moore House is a ca. 1889 Queen Anne-style residence that sits back on a corner lot at Newning Avenue and Park Lane. Arthur H. Yarrington purchased the property from Charles Newning as part of the original Fairview Park subdivision, now part of Travis Heights. It stands among the earliest houses in Fairview Park. Only a few houses in the district employ the architectural features and design details traditionally associated with the Queen Anne style. The Yarrington-Moore House is a well-known marker of the neighborhood, standing out for its classic elegance and grandeur. […] The house is one of a handful of examples of the Queen Anne style in the Travis Heights and Fairview …
