HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS OCTOBER 25, 2021 PR-2021-139578; GF-2021-154910 1101 S. 1ST STREET D.4 – 1 PROPOSAL Relocate a ca. 1919 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story Craftsman bungalow with horizontal wood siding, single and paired 1:1 wood windows, and a partial-width porch with gabled roof supported by paired boxed columns. The house’s gabled roof has deep eaves, triangular knee braces at gable ends, and exposed rafter tails. The house at 1101 S. 1st Street was built around 1919 for Austin and Sophia Sullivan. Austin Sullivan worked as a salesman, and Sophia Sullivan was the editor of an Austin Statesman column on South Austin news, which she maintained until Austin Sullivan’s accidental death in 1938. After leasing the home for a few years, the Sullivans sold the house to Katie and Otto Bohls around 1930. Otto Bohls was a painter, and Katie Bohls a nurse. They each lived in the home until death—Otto in 1961, and Katie in 1976. In the late 1970s, it transitioned to commercial use. PROPERTY EVALUATION The 2015 Bouldin Neighborhood 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 a Craftsman bungalow 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 Release the relocation permit upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package. LOCATION MAP D.4 – 2 PROPERTY INFORMATION Photos D.4 – 3 Demolition permit application, 2020 D.4 – 4 Streetscape and alley views, Google Street View, March 2021 Occupancy History City Directory Research, September 2021 1959 1957 1955 1952 1949 1947 1944 1941 1939 1937 1935 1932 Otto P.
