HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Permits in National Register Historic Districts March 4, 2026 HR-2025-145729 Zilker Park National Register Historic District 2100 Barton Springs Road 3 – 1 Proposal Construct a new bridge in place of the existing contributing bridge. Reconstruct trails. Restore stream bank. Project Specifications The proposed new bridge will replace the existing 1925/1946 Barton Creek bridge at Barton Springs Road and Azie Morton Road. Extreme deterioration and deferred maintenance necessitate bridge removal, with structural elements’ degradation beyond repair and safety concerns, including flood control and pedestrian safety issues, driving Council approval in 2023. The selected design appears to be the most compatible of three options. Proposed materials will match the existing bridge’s concrete and asphalt construction. The proposed bridge utilizes a set of arched piers, reflective of the existing bridge’s design, oriented transverse to the superstructure of the bridge. This orientation provides a maximum amount of visibility through the bridge. The abutment at the park side has been pushed back to create open space accommodating the park train and pedestrian path. The handrail on the park side of the bridge utilizes a robust steel design with heavy concrete pilasters that pay homage to the existing bridge and divert debris during flood events. The bridge has been widened to accommodate two lanes of traffic, planters, and seating with shade devices on either side. Streetscape elements have been selected to blend with the bridge’s surroundings and will be minimally visible above the handrail. Proposed lighting is simple in design. The proposed stream bank and pedestrian pathways are supported by ashlar masonry and stone veneer retaining walls. 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: Sites and streetscapes 1. Vegetation, topography, and landscaping 1.1 Do not grade, fill, or excavate unless it is to solve a drainage or flooding problem. 1.2 Retain permanent landscape features that define the character of the property and the district. Protect them when constructing new buildings or additions. The proposed project slightly changes the topography surrounding the bridge to alleviate flooding and allow for pedestrian use of the surrounding bank. No additional character-defining landscape features appear to be affected at this phase of the project. Changes to character-defining landscape features will require additional HLC review. …

D-2 - Initial US Army Corps of Engineers Meeting – Nov. 2022 D-3 - Section 106 Evaluation – January 2023 SECTION 106 EFFECTS ASSESSMENT OF THE BARTON SPRINGS ROAD BRIDGE CITY OF AUSTIN TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS January 2023 Section 106 Effects Assessment of the Barton Springs Road Bridge, Austin, Travis County, Texas Prepared by: Kurt Korfmacher Architectural Historian and Principal Investigator And Erica Koteras Historian Consulting Firm: AmaTerra Environmental, Inc. Contact Information: 11842 Rim Rock Trail Austin, TX 78737 Telephone: (512) 329-0031 January 2023 Barton Springs Road Bridge Section 106 Evaluation ABSTRACT At the request of URS Corporation and on behalf of the City of Austin (City), AmaTerra Environmental, Inc. (AmaTerra) conducted an assessment of effect to the Barton Springs Road Bridge in Austin, Travis County, Texas. Barton Springs Road Bridge is a contributing resource to the Zilker Park Historic District, a property listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The City proposes improvements to Barton Springs Road that would necessitate changes to the bridge, potentially including replacement of the existing bridge with a new structure. As the proposed undertaking would require permitting from the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), it is subject to the requirements of Section 106 (36 CFR Part 800) of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). As the City is a political entity of the State of Texas, the Antiquities Code of Texas (Texas Natural Resources Code, Title 9, Chapter 191) and its associated regulations (13 TAC 26) also apply. In October 2022, professional historians meeting the Secretary of Interior Standards conducted an evaluation of the proposed project and its potential for effect on the NRHP-listed bridge and related contributing resources to the Zilker Park Historic District per Section 106 guidelines. Zilker Park Historic District is listed in the NRHP under Criteria A and C at the local level in the areas of Architecture, Conservation, Entertainment/Recreation, and Landscape Architecture, with a period of significance of 1917-1947. Both Barton Springs Road Bridge and the Main Entrance Piers (contributing) are within the project area. The proposed bridge improvements are associated with a larger overall plan for Zilker Park known as the Zilker Park Vision Plan. This ambitious multi-year proposal would make major changes to large sections of Zilker Park to improve pedestrian flow and access, improve safety, restore and protect the natural environment, and make general improvements to how the park is accessed and …

Although this meeting was postponed from March 2, 2023, due to local weather conditions, the virtual public meeting went online on March 2 as planned and remained live through April 18 when all public comments were due. The purpose of this in‐person and virtual meeting was to present the project and to gather community feedback on various alternatives for improving safety and mobility for the Barton Springs Road Bridge. Many of the existing bridge’s features are functionally obsolete and require rehabilitation or replacement to ensure safety and longevity. Promotion of the public meeting (both in‐person and virtual) included a flyer mailout to the project stakeholder list of individuals and organizations; placement of meeting signs in the neighborhoods in and around the project area; postings on social media sites (NextDoor, Facebook, and Twitter); and a media advisory. Public Comment Results Public comments were gathered in two ways: on paper during the in‐person public meeting on April 4, 2023 and online as part of the virtual public meeting that started on March 2. All comments were due on April 18. Both in‐person and online, meeting participants were asked to share their feedback in one open‐ended question: Do you have any comments or questions for the project team? The online version also included optional demographic questions. The online survey was open from March 2 – April 18 whereas the in‐person public meeting took place on one evening (April 4). A total of 187 comments were received during the comment period; 11 of those comments were gathered during the in‐person meeting while the remainder were submitted online. Overall there were 1,677 views of the virtual public meeting, 189 participated in …

October 27, 2023 - Briefing on the Barton Springs Road Bridge project to the Mobility Committee. Additional Backup Information: The Barton Springs Road Bridge over Barton Creek is located near the intersection of Azie Morton Road and Barton Springs Road. The location of the bridge, at the entrance to Zilker Park, is a focal point of key community events such as Austin City Limits Musical Festival, South-By-Southwest (SXSW) Conference and Music Festival, Barton Springs, Trail of Lights, and Blues on the Green. Barton Springs Road and the associated bridge is also a key connection for vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian access linking Mopac to downtown and the South Lamar/Congress Avenue corridors, as well as providing the primary northern entrance to the Zilker and Barton Hills neighborhoods via Azie Morton Road, located immediately east of the bridge. The full bridge replacement option provides the most cost-effective and the longest useful life The Barton Springs Road Bridge over Barton Creek requires rehabilitation or replacement. It was originally built in 1925 and was expanded on one side in 1946. Structurally it is in fair condition, however, the existing bridge dimensions, sidewalks, and bike lanes do not meet with current design standards. The roadway west of Azie Morton Road is not aligned with the roadway east of Azie Morton Road. The project will reduce congestion and provide benefits to the local neighborhoods, commuters (all travel modes), and local businesses, as well as Zilker Park users and event attendees.

The bridge was widened to its current form in 1946, which includes two traffic lanes in each direction. The bridge also features narrow sidewalks along each side, guard rails and a sidewalk underneath. While the existing bridge is structurally in fair condition, many of its features are functionally obsolete and it requires replacement to ensure safety and longevity. Given that the existing bridge present mobility challenges for vehicles, bikes and pedestrians, this project will provide needed mobility enhancements for all users. Intersection improvements to nearby Barton Springs Road and Azie Morton Drive are necessary as part of this project. In November 2020, Austin voters approved $102 million for major infrastructure projects, with the possibility of allocating a portion of that funding to address the Barton Springs Road Bridge. In December 2023, Austin City Council officially recommended replacing the bridge and advanced the project to the design phase. The City of Austin received a $32 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation in November 2024 to help fund construction of the new bridge. 4 AECOMPrepared for The City of Austin Longitudinal Beam - Exposed Rebar Spandrel Column - Spalling 01 / Introduction Condition Assessment • Deck (with integral longitudinal joint), floor beams, and spandrel columns exhibited the most degradation. • All structural components exhibited some degradation. • Rehabilitation for increased service life would need to remove deck, floor beams, and spandrel columns, stripping structure to arch ribs as a starting point. • These results remove Rehabilitation Option 1 as feasible alternative since that option was the “low-impact”, “preserve-structure” option. • Based on the above, we are now focused on Rehabilitation Option 2 and on potential bridge replacement options. 5 Longitudinal Beam - Exposed Rebar …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Permits in National Register Historic Districts March 4, 2026 HR-2026-014183 Congress Avenue Historic District 617 Congress Avenue 4 – 1 Proposal Rehabilitate a primary elevation on an altered compatible building. Project Specifications 1) Remove existing stucco slipcover at streetfacing façade. Retain general layout of ground floor entry. 2) Install new windows in historic locations at second floor, with the center bay becoming a french door. 3) Construct a balcony over the sidewalk, to be accessed from the proposed second floor doorway. Architecture The existing building at 617 Congress is a three bay, two-story commercial structure that has been heavily altered from its original design. Historic photos show this address as being the middle of three matching properties along this block of Congress Avenue. Its neighbor to the north has been demolished and the property to the south has been altered, but not as much as 617 Congress. The ground floor currently has two windowed bays facing the sidewalk, with the southern bay recessed with a doorway for entry. The second floor is covered by stucco, possibly a structured slipcover, which removed the three windows originally there. There are two signs that are installed directly into the stucco cover. The condition or presence of any historic material underneath the stucco is currently unknown. Research Upon its first listing in city directories in the 1910s, the property was occupied by J.A. Jackson Jewelers through the 1930s, with occasional other tenants. After a brief period of being used by a shoe shop and cleaners, Leutwyler Jewelers took over the building and remained for almost 20 years, before becoming a menswear shop. The current use as a theatre and coffee shop began around 1999. 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 Removal of material from the front façade is proposed to be non-original only, specifically the stucco coating. If, during the process of removing this material, evidence of original materials, openings, or fenestration details are discovered, it is highly recommended that these guide and refine the proposed design of the project. There are general concerns about the proposal incorporating elements that were either never present historically or more decorative than …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Permits in National Register Historic Districts March 4, 2026 HR-2026-014204 Congress Avenue Historic District 809 Congress Avenue 5 – 1 Proposal Demolish a building behind the front wall at an existing compatible property. Project Specifications 1) Demolish existing two-story building behind streetfacing wall, which had been covered by stucco, and since uncovered. 2) Stabilize historic sections of the front wall facing Congress Avenue, including removal of nonhistoric CMU above the brick storefront. Existing storefront features, also not of historic age, are to be removed. 3) Install temporary security walls at front storefront and rear alley. Architecture Initially built as a single-story commercial storefront, the building at 809 Congress had three bays with large display windows, an ample awning, and transom windows above. At the top of the façade was brick oriented in a decorative pattern that terminated at a triangular peak. Currently, that shape is no longer present and was replaced with a concrete masonry unit wall, which extended the overall height of the front façade and housed a second story behind it. The entire storefront has been altered and original material removed, but the overall size of the opening has not changed, allowing for a matching replacement storefront if proposed. Research This property saw many tenants and uses since it first appeared in city directories, including a beauty salon, a millinery, a cafeteria, a saloon (which became a purveyor of soft drinks during Prohibition), but its longest and most notable tenant was Stelfox Jewelers, who became a tenant in the 1940s. The most dramatic of alterations appear to have occurred in the early 2000s when it became a sandwich shop. 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 The proposed demolition calls for all non-historic material to be removed, with the remaining brick façade to remain. Though there is little of this material that is left intact, including the loss of the triangular peak above the storefront, what little remains is being retained and meets the design standards in these circumstances. 4. Exterior walls and trim Appropriate repair or treatment of remaining exterior material is recommended based on further exploration of existing conditions. It is recommended …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Permits in National Register Historic Districts March 4, 2026 HR-2026-010143 Old West Austin Historic District 1611 Preston Avenue 6 – 1 Proposal Alter existing front elevation and construct a second-story addition. Project Specifications 1) Renovation of existing contributing property, including window and door replacement, front porch alteration, and replacement of exterior finishes. 2) Construction of a second floor addition, approximately 879 square feet. Architecture The house is a single-story asymmetrical design with a front porch at one side covered by an ample overhanging roof supported by wood posts. Its foundation is elevated on piers, and two pairs of large windows face the street. The roof is set at a moderate pitch, and the overall structure reads as horizontal, like other contributing properties in the neighborhood. Research For approximately the first two decades after its construction, the house was owned by the McCrummen family. Hugh and Mary McCrummen lived together at the address with at least one daughter until Hugh’s passing after 1952. Mary McCrummen continued to live at the address and worked as a dietitian. 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 The alterations in this proposal call for the removal of intact historic material, though it is not determined how much of the siding was replaced since original construction. Views of the building from the 2000s show different windows were present, making the current fixtures replacements. The size and location of the addition allows approximately half the existing house to retain its form. 3. Roofs The second floor addition will remove a portion of the roof form that is visible from the street, but will retain the current form above the porch. 4. Exterior walls and trim Brick veneer is proposed at the front wall and at locations around the side and back of the existing house. 5. Windows, doors, and screens Front windows are to be replaced. However, these fixtures are not original and appear to have been replaced around 2011-2013. 6. Porches The present form of the front porch was created around the same time as the window replacements described above. Proposed alterations closer resemble the previous, possibly original, assembly. 6 – 2 …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Permits in National Register Historic Districts March 4, 2026 PR-2025-015633; GF-2026-017650 Old West Austin Historic District 1508 Pease Road 7 – 1 Proposal Construct a new two-story residence on site of a previously approved relocation. Research From staff report presented at October 1, 2025 HLC, when the relocation application was heard: When first constructed in the 1930s, the house was owned by William & Kay Ransom. William Ransom worked in the family’s drug store business as a salesman. After they moved, the house was occupied for over three decades by Matthew and Ethel Balagia. During this time, Matthew Balagia worked several jobs, including as a butcher and a clerk. In their ownership of the property, there was also a garage apartment at the rear of the house that was constructed and often housed students and workers. After her husband’s passing sometime after 1977, Ethel Balagia lived at the house for several more years. 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: Residential new construction 1. Location Proposed setback from the street is 36 feet, which is less than the previously relocated structure on site. The neighboring properties on the block have varying setbacks, ranging from 25 feet to over 50 feet, so this proposed location fits within the neighborhood context. 2. Orientation Like other properties in this section of the district, the design is oriented towards the street with the front door and driveway facing the right of way. 3. Scale, massing, and height Unlike the previously relocated structure, the proposed building is a full two stories in height and, at its highest point, is slightly above 35 feet tall. There are no stepdowns as the building gets closer to the street, with the wall closest to the street being fully two stories in height. However, while the relocated structure was the shortest or least imposing on the block, the proposed design is not wholly out of scale with surrounding contributing properties. The roof pitch may create the appearance of excessive height, but the side gabled roof allows that maximum height to be located far from the street. 4. Proportions As mentioned above, neighboring contributing properties are generally tall and two stories in …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Demolition and Relocation Permits March 4, 2026 PR-2026-012921; GF-2026-016460 844 Airport Boulevard 8 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1976 restaurant. Architecture This commercial structure is rectangular in plan and a single story, though the side gabled roof adds additional height, with a short wall projecting at the peak that includes signage facing Airport Boulevard. The exterior walls are clad in wood board paneling. The front dining room features large windows across the entire front elevation. At one side is a brick chimney that projects above the highest point of the roof. Research Opened in 1977 as the third location of Dan’s Hamburgers, the restaurant featured a large amount of indoor seating and coincided with an expanded menu, which included breakfast, across all locations. As with the other locations, this Dan’s was partially staffed by family as the business grew. The current appearance is relatively unchanged and, unlike some locations after 1990, it did not change names to Fran’s Hamburgers. Department Comments This application times out on May 18, 2026. Property Evaluation 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 a decent example of 1970s roadside restaurant architecture. 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, relocation, or deconstruction and salvage over demolition, but approve the demolition permit application upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package.

Austin Lukes Historic Preservation Office City of Austin January 24, 2026 RE: Request to consider initiation of historic zoning, Hill-Thomson House (1906 Maple Ave.) Dear Mr. Lukes, I would like to express my strong support to include the Hill-Thomson House, located at 1906 Maple Avenue, on the Historic Landmark Commission’s February agenda for consideration of initiation of historic zoning. The owner, Marilynn Poole Bailey, fully supports this request. This property demonstrates significance in accordance with the criteria of historical association and community value. It is a great cultural asset to the history of the City of Austin and contributes to the Rogers- Washington-Holy Cross Historic District (RWHC), which honors Austin’s Black heritage. Historic Association: The Hill-Thompson House, completed in 1963, is the first residential commission by John S. Chase, the first Black graduate of the University of Texas School of Architecture, and first licensed Black architect in the state of Texas. The home serves as an intact example of Chase’s first commission, influenced by the Usonian constructions of Frank Lloyd Wright and the personal touches of Mrs. Irene Hill Thompson. The home is characterized by strong horizontal massing, a connection between the indoor and outdoor environment, and understated materiality. Mr. Chase maintained a relationship with the RWHC and made further contributions including the Colored Teachers State Association of Texas headquarters (1191 Navasota St); the Della Phillips House (2310 E MLK, Jr Blvd); David Chapel Missionary Baptist Church (2211 E MLK, Jr Blvd); and Olivet Baptist Church (1179 San Bernard St). Mr. Chase then went on to grow his practice through offices in Houston, Dallas, and Washington DC, eventually becoming a founding member of the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA). The Hill Thompson House represents an early part of his enduring architectural legacy. Community Value: The Hill Thompson House also served as a beacon of Black civic engagement led by Irene Hill Thompson. The house served as a meeting place for political organizing and community gatherings that reflected her deep commitment to public service and civic participation. Ms. Thompson hosted numerous political events at her home for President Lyndon B. Johnson, U.S. Congressmen Lloyd Doggett, East Texas Black Republican operative Ernest Sterling, J.J. “Jake” Pickle, and Texas State Senator Gonzalo Barrientos. Throughout these activities, the house functioned not only as a private residence but also as an important site of grassroots political participation, further reinforcing its historical and cultural significance. …

QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: architecture and historical associations HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: November 23, 1987 – public hearing occurs. No minutes available. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: 1988 minutes unavailable. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: 1988 ordinance missing. CASE MANAGER: Kalan Contreras, 512-974-2727 DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The building has been a landmark since the late 1980s; it has received a City of Austin Landmark medallion and has filed Certificates of Appropriateness for all work done on the property exterior. However, the building’s original paper landmark casefile is largely missing, with original copies of the HLC, PC, and Council minutes and ordinance apparently lost before the era of digitization. Thus, the Historic Preservation Office seeks to correct this administrative oversight in obtaining a new valid ordinance for its designation.
