HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS JUNE 4, 2025 PR-2025-045700; GF-2025-049018 604 COPELAND STREET 15.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1935 house. ARCHITECTURE The footprint of the non-descript bungalow is roughly square in shape, with all sides clad in narrow teardrop wood siding. There is a steeply pitched hipped roof, which is covered in non-historic metal material. Though the windows are currently boarded over, they appear to be the original openings, though the condition of the frames are unknown. It is set on an elevated foundation with a concrete skirt. A small dormer on the front of the house marks the front doorway, but there is no porch present, which may be seen at other contemporary construction in the neighborhood. RESEARCH After initial construction around 1935, the house was occupied for renters for about ten years. These renters included various residents mostly occupied in state government and local businesses, and during World War II a meat grinder working for the US War Food Administration. After the war, the house was bought by Mrs. Lucy H. Overall, a widow, and her two sons, who would go on to attend the University of Texas before moving out on their own. Mrs. Overall, who would later go by Mrs. Blanton, was a music teacher of some acclaim around Austin, who worked with students of all ages as well as serving as music director for various shows, including one associated with the Methodist church. PROPERTY EVALUATION The 2015 Bouldin Creek Historic Resource Survey lists the property as a medium priority and as contributing to the potential Copeland 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: a. Architecture. The building is a good example of vernacular bungalow architecture in South Austin. 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 …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS JUNE 4, 2025 PR-2025-044852; GF-2025-049021 606 COPELAND STREET 16.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1935 house. ARCHITECTURE Described in the 2015 Bouldin Creek Survey as a wood framed bungalow, the house features a steep pitched hipped roof with a small gable at one corner indicating the front entryway. Like its neighbor at 604 Copeland Street, there is no front porch, though this property does feature a covered carport to the left of the entryway. Until early 2025, the walls were clad in some sort of shingle, though this material has been removed as of May 2025. The house appears to be in stable, if weathered, condition. RESEARCH The house at 606 Copeland Street was occupied by renters for the first ten years after its construction around 1935. After being vacant in the mid-1940s, it was purchased by Mrs. Hazel Thompson, a widow and saleswoman at Hutchins Bros, a San Antonio menswear store with locations in Austin. Mrs. Thompson lived in the house for several decades and was involved in the Order of the Eastern Star at the city’s Scottish Rite Temple. PROPERTY EVALUATION The 2015 Bouldin Creek Historic Resource Survey lists the property as a medium priority and as contributing to the potential Copeland 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: a. Architecture. The building is an excellent example of vernacular bungalow architecture in South Austin. 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 Strongly encourage rehabilitation and adaptive reuse, then material salvage and reuse, but release the demolition permit upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS JUNE 4, 2025 PR-2025-049503; GF-2025-054619 1004 SOUTH 1ST STREET 17.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1929 house. ARCHITECTURE The asymmetric Craftsman style house at 1004 South 1st Street features a broad front porch that spans about half of the street facing elevation and is covered by a front gabled roof that features decorative brackets. The building is elevated on pier and beam foundation that is covered by a concrete skirt under the house, with the porch decorated on its sides by local stone in various colors. The roof is side-gabled and set at a moderate pitch. Walls are clad in narrow teardrop wood siding. Overall, the house is in good condition, though there is significant graffiti tagging present. RESEARCH After construction around 1929, the house was occupied by renters until 1935, where it was purchased by Henry & Lillie Polvado, who lived there with at least one daughter. Henry was a city fireman who was later promoted to fire department captain, and the couple owned the house until around 1950, by which time their daughter had married and moved out. After a short series of renters, it was purchased by Norman & Louis Allen, who lived in the house until at least 1972, when Norman passed away. PROPERTY EVALUATION The 2015 Bouldin Creek Historic Resource Survey lists the property as a medium priority and as contributing to the potential Copeland 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: a. Architecture. The building is a good example of craftsman architecture in South Austin. 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.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS JUNE 4, 2025 PR-2025-044914; GF-2025-049037 1006 SOUTH 1ST STREET 18.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1924 house. ARCHITECTURE When viewed from the street, the house at 1006 South 1st Street is largely symmetrical, with a few rooms added at the rear of the sides. The front entry is framed by two wood posts supporting a front gable covering a porch. The porch spans roughly the middle third of the building and is elevated above grade by two steps. The walls are clad in teardrop siding and a large hung window is present at either side of the front elevation. The roof is side gabled and set at a moderate-to-high pitch. The house maintains good integrity. RESEARCH After construction around 1925, the house had a series of renters for ten years before being purchased by Thomas and Bertha Fisher. Thomas was a hoseman at the city fire department and would eventually be promoted to firefighter and station captain. The couple owned the house until at least 1974, when Thomas passed away. There was some time where the house appears to have been occupied by renters in the 1930s, according to city directories, but the Fishers would be listed as the occupants by 1947. The property may have also incorporated a rear two-story garage structure, which may have been rented out and had these additional names associated with the address. PROPERTY EVALUATION The 2015 Bouldin Creek Historic Resource Survey lists the property as a medium priority and as contributing to the potential Copeland 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).

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS JUNE 4, 2025 PR-2025-047121; GF-2025-050559 1904 SHARON LANE 19.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1938 house. ARCHITECTURE The two-story, symmetrical house is unique in its appearance on its block and, while lacking in ornament, has the rhythm and form of the Colonial Revival style. The central front door is set within a decorative entryway, with one 6-over-6 window on each side, which feature some decorative metal work underneath. This window pattern is matched on the second floor. The roof is hipped and set at a moderate pitch and does not overhang the walls at all. The house is elevated by several feet and the front door is accessed by a series of stairs that terminate directly in front of the entry. RESEARCH From its construction around 1938, the residence at 1904 Sharon Lane was occupied by numerous owners and renters over the first two decades. Some of the more notable of these are W. Arthur Smith and John F. Thomas, both of whom were physicians in private practice in Austin. Hugh McGaw, who lived with his wife Florence and children at the address, was a professor at the University of Texas, though they were never the owners of the property. PROPERTY EVALUATION 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: a. Architecture. The building is a decent example of 1930s symmetrical residential architecture with Colonial Revival elements. 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 permit upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS JUNE 4, 2025 PR-2025-041615; GF-2025-052681 607 EAST 38TH STREET 20.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1935 house. ARCHITECTURE The house at 607 East 38th Street is a side-by-side duplex set on an elevated foundation on a sloping grade adjacent to Hancock Golf Course. Unlike many homes in the nearby Hyde Park neighborhood, which were converted to duplexes during the Great Depression in the 1930s, this property appears to have been originally constructed as two units. This can be seen in the two entrances at the front corners, which are covered by small, decorated gables overhanging their respective stoops. The walls are clad in a narrow teardrop siding, and windows all appear to be original 1-over-1 hung units. A short metal rail is present at the perimeter of each stoop, which are accessed by stairs oriented parallel to the front elevation. A moderately pitched side gabled roof covers the house, with visible rafter tails at the front. RESEARCH Throughout its early history, the property was inhabited by a series of renters, none of whom appear to have lived at the address for longer than a few years. Records indicate that the north half of the property was largely vacant for most of the 1940s, which could possibly indicate that both sides were occupied by the same tenant. The house consistently had students living there throughout the decades given its proximity to the universities near to the south. PROPERTY EVALUATION The 2019 North Loop-Hancock-Boggy Creek historic resource 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: a. Architecture. The building is a good example of Craftsman style residential duplex construction. 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 …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS JUNE 4, 2025 PR-2025-047866; GF-2025-052705 911 POST OAK STREET 21.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1948 house. ARCHITECTURE Though it is constructed as a single story, the house sits above the street due to grade changes at the site and a large crawlspace that is covered with a concrete skirt. The right two-thirds of the front elevation feature a porch with a metal rail and metal roof supports, with the front door placed at the rear, facing the street. There are two pairs of windows on this façade, and the roof is side gabled with a front gable projecting towards the street at the left third of the house. This property appears to have been heavily altered in its cladding, windows, and door since it was last surveyed by the city in 2015. RESEARCH Luther & Nora Robbins were longtime owners of the property. Luther worked in sales and the two raised their children at their property, but no records remain of when they moved away or if they lived at the address until their passing. PROPERTY EVALUATION The 2016 Bouldin Creek survey lists the property as a medium priority and contributing to a potential Arboles historic 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: a. Architecture. The building is a fair example of a mid-century ranch house typical for this section of Austin, though its finishes and windows have been heavily altered in recent years. 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.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS JUNE 4, 2025 PR-2025-058881; GF-2025-060225 1606 CEDAR AVENUE 22.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1924 house. ARCHITECTURE Very simple in layout and modest in size, the house is an elevated single-story bungalow with a porch at the front corner. The front gabled roof adds height to the front, and the recessed porch provides some outdoor seating space as well as a transition from the steps up from the front walk to the front entry. Hung 1-over-1 windows on all sides appear to be replacement metal units, and the walls have been covered with asbestos shingle, likely after the original period of construction. Rafter tails are present at the sides, and the elevated foundation is covered with a concrete skirt. Though the building is modest and does not feature many, if any, decorative elements, the building form represents a common type of construction once present in this section of East Austin that housed renters and service workers for the past 90 years. RESEARCH Constructed sometime around 1924, the house at 1606 Cedar Avenue was first owned by Sarah, Pernie, and Carrie Suldon until 1935. After this time, it was occupied for renters for at least 30 years, all of whom worked in various services and labor industries in Austin. While some of these renters saw milestones such as birth of children while living at the property, none appear to have been associated with the address for longer than five years. PROPERTY EVALUATION The 2016 East Austin Historic Resources Survey lists the property as contributing to both a potential local historic district and a potential national 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: a. Architecture. The building is a good example of modest bungalow construction in East Austin. 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, …

ARCHITECTURE This single-story, side gabled construction is set on an elevated foundation that is clad with a concrete skirt. The front of the property features two pairs of 1-over-1 hung windows with decorative shutters. The front left of the house contains a screened in porch. All exterior walls are clad in narrow teardrop siding, and the roof is clad in standing seam metal. A rear accessory unit is also present on the property, which features similar construction. Both structures are in good condition and do not appear to have been heavily altered. RESEARCH The longtime owners of the property at 908 West Mary Street were Norman & Eitra Crumley. The couple owned the Crumley Grocery & Variety Store in Austin for many years and raised their children at the West Mary Street address. PROPERTY EVALUATION The 2016 Bouldin Creek Historic Resources Survey lists the property as a medium priority.

ARCHITECTURE Three-story apartment complex constructed with Ranch and Mid-century Modern stylistic influences. The front building is clad in brick with a horseshoe-shaped plan, while the back building has an irregular plan. RESEARCH The property is associated with businessman Gene McGregor, whose early days as a champion cardshark in catapulted him into nightclub ownership, talent management, and apartment construction and management in the 1960s and 1970s. After serving in the South Pacific during World War II, McGregor made his home in Austin and purchased several small nightclubs while gambling competitively around the country. After establishing his success as a club owner and entertainment manager with Club Petite and Caravan, McGregor entered the construction business, focusing his efforts on apartment development. After his initial foray into the industry with the Tropicana Apartments, McGregor constructed the Rio Grande Penthouse in 1962 and expanded it in 1964. Though he made his home in the Penthouse, McGregor would go on to construct the VIP, Casa Grande, Casa Tejas, Granada, and Americana Apartments throughout the 1960s.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS JUNE 4, 2025 2025-051801 DA; GF-2025-059338 26 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1936 store building. ARCHITECTURE The building at 601 West Martin Luther King Jr., Blvd. is a traditional two-part commercial block, clad in masonry, with a stepped parapet. This type of human-scale commercial architecture can help encourage pedestrian traffic on our city’s central corridors. RESEARCH The building at 601 West Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard, originally addressed as 601 West 19th Street, was constructed around 1936. An existing residential building, demolished between 1984 and 1997, stood further back on the lot; Sanborn maps show that the ca. 1907 house gradually grew from a modest dwelling to a large duplex structure as additions were constructed. The store was originally occupied by Cantrell’s Drugs, owned by Clyde and Lucille Cantrell. After only two years, the Cantrells sold their store to the Nau family. Ladner and Hilton Nau were no strangers to the drugstore business. According to a 2021 history by Elizabeth Brummett, they established many of Austin’s drugstores and soda fountains: Historically, multiple drug stores bore the Nau name, most owned by Hilton’s older brother Ladner. Ladner Nau came to Austin in 1926 to go to pharmacy school at the University of Texas. After working at a drug store for a couple of years, he and the proprietor of that store opened the Community Drug Store at 1201 E. 1st (Cesar Chavez) and Waller streets. Shortly thereafter, he bought the business outright. In 1935, Ladner established Nau’s San Jacinto Drug Store at 1819–21 San Jacinto St. This location remained in operation for nearly 30 years. Nau’s Drug Store No. 2 at 913 E. 1st St. operated under the management of Maynard Anderson from at least 1949 through 1959. In 1964, Ladner Nau closed the San Jacinto location and opened Nau’s Pharmacy at 2405 San Gabriel St. Though Ladner had retired, the pharmacy remained open in 1980, but neither the business nor the building presently remains. Hilton Nau also attended the University of Texas. Per City Directories, he worked as a pharmacist at the San Jacinto Drug Store in 1937 but by 1939 had co-founded Nau’s Nueces Drug Co. with Ladner. Hilton married Eleanor Liebscher in 1945. In 1951, the couple established Nau’s Enfield Drug Store. Eleanor Nau did the bookkeeping, continuing for years after the couple sold the business to pharmacist Lambert Labay …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS JUNE 4, 2025 2025-051814 DA; GF-2025-059320 1800 NUECES STREET 28 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1917-1918 house. ARCHITECTURE 1800 Nueces is a one-story bungalow clad in wood siding and capped with a front-gabled roof. Double-hung windows of wood and vinyl and a front door with transom window comprise the fenestration. Though Classical Revival decorative detailing, such as cornice returns and simplified triangular pediments over front windows, has been applied to the building, it was originally a traditional Craftsman-style building with an open full-width front porch and exposed rafter tails. RESEARCH The house at 1800 Nueces Street was built around 1917 or 1918. Its first occupants were widow Lenora Russell and her son, Otis, a student at UT. The Russells also took in boarders as a source of income. After around ten years, Lenora Russell sold her home to another widowed mother, Josephine Strandtmann, and her eight children. Strandtmann and her oldest son, builder and Comal Lumber Co. owner Ernest Strandtmann, made several improvements, including constructing a rear garage and apartment and converting the property to a duplex. Strandtmann rented the property to tenants throughout the ‘40s and ‘50s; residents included saleswomen at several businesses, a dry cleaner at nearby Kelly Smith Cleaners, a machinist at Capital Machine Works, and a photographer for the American-Statesman. PROPERTY EVALUATION The 2025 draft Downtown Austin survey lists the property as contributing to potential local and National Register districts. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high integrity, as the porch enclosure and boxing of rafter tails appears to have taken place during the period of significance. 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 conveys an eclectic mixture of Classical Revival and Craftsman styles. 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 appear to 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.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS JUNE 4, 2025 2025-051821 DA; GF-2025-059345 1806 NUECES STREET 29 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1933 house. ARCHITECTURE One-story Tudor Revival house with a cross-gabled roof plan, pointed-arch detailing at fenestration, a catslide roofline at the main gable, and a flat-roofed storefront addition constructed during the period of significance, per Sanborn maps. Windows appear double-hung and made of wood, apart from the fixed-pane undivided store window. RESEARCH The house at 1806 Nueces Street was constructed around 1933. Both 1806 Nueces and its neighbor at 601-B West 19th Street, now demolished, were owned for a time by Jenny Matejek and her daughters; the Matejeks rented out these and several other properties in the Nueces Street area. The home’s first renters were attorney Ralph Yarbrough and his family, though they did not remain there for long. The Walker family lived there from the mid-1930s to the mid-1940s; R. S. Walker was a State tax official and the family’s two sons were in military aviation. The family moved away after son R. S. Walker, Jr. was killed in a plane crash on his way home from service in World War II. The house was converted to a florist’s shop in the early 1950s. The Austin Blossom Shop, operated by Blanche and Oliver McClanahan, was damaged by a fire at the adjacent Brydson Lumber Company in 1952. It appears that the McClanahans, during their repairs of the shop, constructed the front flat-roofed addition with expansive picture windows to display floral arrangements to passersby. The Blossom Shop moved to 29th Street in 1973. PROPERTY EVALUATION The draft 2025 Downtown Austin 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.

Page 1 of 1 page

June 2, 2025 RE: Whitehall Cooperative Historic Landmark Designation Dear Chair Heimsath and Members of the Austin Historic Landmark Commission, Preservation Austin exists to empower Austinites to shape a more inclusive, resilient, and meaningful community culture through preservation. We write to you today in support of historic designation for the Whitehall Cooperative building at 2500 Nueces for its Architecture, Historical Association, and Community Value. The Whitehall Cooperative has provided affordable housing in the West Campus neighborhood since 1949. Established as a women’s residence for UT Austin students, Whitehall began occupying the 1896 Queen Anne-style residence at 2500 Nueces in 1955. In 1956, when Black students were first admitted to UT, Whitehall was one of only two University co-ops to integrate racially. In 1960, when the opportunity to purchase the building arose, four of Whitehall’s female residents purchased the building for $25,000. The co-op became a co-ed residence for students and non-students alike in 1971. Over the decades, the home’s appearance has evolved, reflecting the cooperative’s spirit of communal involvement and individual creativity, all while maintaining its original Victorian character. As development pressures continue to intensify and the cost of living increases, Whitehall Co-op remains one of the very last affordable housing options in West Campus. Preservation Austin is proud to support Whitehall Cooperative in its pursuit of historic designation so it may continue its historic mission of providing affordable housing to the people of Austin. We thank you for your consideration and your service to the City of Austin. Sincerely, Melissa Barry, President

From: To: Subject: Date: Historic Preservation Office 1703 Alameda Dr--hearing scheduled for June 4 Thursday, May 29, 2025 3:24:18 PM You don't often get email from . Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution hello, I am newer to this neighborhood, having purchased my house on Alta Vista a bit less than a year ago. My house was built in 1948; I love old houses, which is one of the main reasons I bought in this neighborhood--for the historic character of the houses. It seems a shame to demolish something that contributes to the charming older feel of the neighborhood. I would like to register my opposition to the demolishment of this house. Can the owners not add on in the back somehow? Yes, old houses deteriorate and need work. Houses are brought back all the time from very poor condition. That's what you let yourself in for when you buy one. I hope they will consider leaving the old structure and adding to it, thus respecting the atmosphere and feel of the historic area. sincerely, Annie Possis -- Annie Possis "Somebody needs to do something — it’s just incredibly pathetic that it has to be us.”--Jerry Garcia "Don't be good: Be fearless."--Sanford Meisner “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you really are.” --Carl Jung "One of the coolest feelings a human can experience is to feel so small in a world that’s so big."--Marc-Andre LeClerc "The free soul is rare, but you know it when you see it – basically because you feel good, very good, when you are near or with them."--Charles Bukowski CAUTION: This is an EXTERNAL email.
