HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS DECEMBER 17, 2021 PR-2021-148857; GF-2021-188999 603 E 47TH STREET D.5 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1948 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH PROPERTY EVALUATION One-story front-gabled house with a roughly rectangular plan, 1:1 wood windows, a front-gabled porch on ornamental metal posts, vertical wood siding with scalloped edges along the gable ends and horizontal wood siding on the rest of the structure. The house at 603 E 47th St was moved onto the lot from 4820 East Ave in 1948 in preparation for paving the street. Henry and Ruby Moreno owned the home in 1948. J. V. and Hazel Sansom moved there in 1949 and lived in the house for 3 years. Everett and Freida Ryden owned the house from 1955 to 1959. Everett Ryden was a salesman for the Von Boeckmann- Jones Co. The house was later owned by Samuel H. Leming, a retired mechanic who died in 1964. 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 North Hyde Park 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). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet criteria for landmark designation: a. Architecture. The house is a good example of a Minimal Traditional-style 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 demolition permit upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package. LOCATION MAP D.5 – 2 PROPERTY INFORMATION Photos D.5 – 3 HHM, Inc., Historic Building Survey Report for North Central Austin, 2019 Occupancy History City Directory Research, November 2021 Samuel H.
