HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS DECEMBER 17, 2021 PR-2021-171300; GF-2021-189004 2307 LONGVIEW STREET D.4 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1939 duplex. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Two-story rectangular-plan duplex with mostly single 6:6 wood windows, apart from a single 8:8 window on the first-floor west façade, wood siding, front porch with balcony above, and an entrance on the first floor on the west side of the building. This building and the adjacent duplex at 2305 Longview have a similar design and layout, though this building remains more intact. The duplex at 2307 Longview Street was built in 1939 by Margery Hancock-Hanks. Margery was the daughter of Lewis and Attilia Hancock. Lewis Hancock was the son of George and Louisa Hancock who were both members of distinguished pioneer families in Austin. Lewis Hancock was associated with the State National Bank and funded the Hancock Opera House, constructed in 1880. 2307 Longview was occupied by white students, military personnel, and administrators throughout the 1940s and 1950s. PROPERTY EVALUATION The Historic Building Survey Report for North Central Austin: West Campus, North University, Heritage, Bryker Woods, and North Hyde Park (HHM, Inc., 2021) lists the property as contributing to a potential Carrington/West Campus Historic District, recommended as eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places and as a local historic district. 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).
