This is a designated Contributing Structure to the Old West Austin National Register District and the proposed demoliton will change this status to Non-Contributing.   The loss of yet another contributing property threatens the unique character of the District, and the legal standing of the Old West Austin NRHD. Additionally, though architectural style may be outside of your scope of consideration the contemporary design of the proposed new structure would further hasten transition to a non historic neighborhood    Bill Dorman  President, Old Enfield Homeowners Association  Resident of 1505 West Lynn St.  Retired custom home builder      CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source. Please use caution when clicking links  or opening attachments. If you believe this to be a malicious and/or phishing email, please forward this email to  cybersecurity@austintexas.gov.   1
