HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS MARCH 28, 2022 2206 EAST SIDE DRIVE D.3 – 1 Relocate a ca. 1915-1920 house outside city limits. PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story Craftsman bungalow with partial-width covered porch supported by tapered columns atop brick piers, 1:1 screened wood windows, exposed rafter tails at eaves, and triangular brackets at gable ends. The house at 2206 East Side Drive, formerly known as 2210 East Side Drive and 2210 Goodall Street, was built by the Wright family in the early twentieth century as part of the family’s dairy farm. City directories do not include records prior to the 1930s, as the farm was located outside the city limits. The Wright family had operated a dairy farm in South Austin since at least 1899.1 Claude W. Wright, Sr., and his wife Ethel Bowling Wright inherited the business from William W. Wright, who migrated to Texas from Mississippi after serving in the Confederate army as a teenager. Claude Wright, known as “Cap,” also served as a city fireman2 after his retirement from the dairy industry in 1946, a post he held for nearly twenty years. After the Wright family sold the dairy farm, the house became a rental property to several families. Renters during the 1940s and 1950s included clerks, butchers, saleswomen, and manufacturing employees. PROPERTY EVALUATION Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high integrity. However, the building’s integrity of setting has been compromised, as it no longer retains the rural surroundings appropriate for an agricultural complex, nor does it retain significant associated outbuildings present in historic photos. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it may meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building is a Craftsman bungalow. b. Historical association. The property appears to have been part of the Wright dairy farm prior to the widespread c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human urbanization of South Austin. 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.
