Project Summary: The Pease Elementary School building dates from 1876, one of the first schools built with public funds in Texas. The building was expanded in 1895, 1896, 1916 and 1926, and remodeled in 1949. The school building is three stories, load bearing masonry construction with a stucco exterior finish applied to the masonry walls. The building was designated as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 2013 and is a contributing structure to the West Austin Downtown National Register Historic District, designated in 2024. The primary goals of the Pease Elementary School rehabilitation project are to prepare the building for use as an early childhood learning center on the lower two floors and as office space on the upper floor. Goodwill Austin will operate the early childhood learning center, and United Way for Greater Austin will occupy the office spaces. The project will be completed in two primary construction phases. Phase I, included in these review materials, addresses conditions at the building exterior. Phase II, not included in these review materials, addresses conditions at the building interior and the site and grounds. The exterior work to be done under the Phase I project includes: • Remove existing exterior fire stairs and replace with new exterior fire stairs • Window and exterior door replacement • Downspout replacement • Limited repairs to existing roof, in the areas of new penetrations through the existing roof • Limited repairs to existing stucco coating, in the areas where window, exterior door and fire stair replacement occurs • Exterior painting of stucco coating East Elevation North Elevation West Elevation South Elevation West Elevation, detail West Elevation, detail West Elevation, detail South Elevation, detail South Elevation, detail South Elevation, detail South Elevation, detail South Elevation, detail South Elevation, detail
