The landowners have met with representatives of the applicant and reviewed preliminary plans for the redevelopment of the site. We look forward to collaborating with the applicant on the proposed project to ensure it is compatible with the guidelines of the Harthan LHD and accretive to the district. Given the property’s prolonged state of disrepair and the thoughtful nature of the proposed redevelopment, the undersigned support the demolition of the structures at 600 Harthan Street.

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.

Given their severely dilapidated condition, relocating them seems unfeasible. We would like Habitat for Humanity to receive any materials that can be safely preserved. If the applicant is agreeable, we request that someone from Habitat for Humanity visit the properties with IntraCorp before demolition begins, so they can identify any items that can be salvaged and donated to Habitat.
