HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS OCTOBER 5, 2022 PR-2022-130994; GF-2022-138198 2713 MANOR ROAD 29 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1947 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH PROPERTY EVALUATION One-story Minimal Traditional house with 1:1 and picture windows, horizontal wood siding, and a partial-width inset porch supported by wrought-iron posts. The house at 2713 Manor Road was constructed between 1947 and 1954. Early City directories list George and Nellie Byrne as its first owners. George Byrne worked for the Internal Revenue Service. Later permits suggest that the house was built in 1954 by C. O. Barker and his wife, who occupied the house addressed as 2711 Manor Road, and occupied by Mrs. Barker’s father, Ernest Grip. The East Austin survey lists the property as contributing to potential local and National Register historic districts. 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 constructed in the Minimal Traditional style. 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 Encourage rehabilitation and adaptive reuse, then relocation over demolition, but release the permit upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package. LOCATION MAP 29 – 2 PROPERTY INFORMATION Photos 29 – 3 Zillow.com. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2713-Manor-Rd-Austin-TX-78722/29392157_zpid/ Demolition permit application, 2022 Occupancy History City Directory Research, September 2022 1959 Geo A. and Nell Byrne, owners Auditor International Revenue Charles O. and Evelyn Barker, owners Barker’s Food Market George R. and Trula Byrne, owners Auditor, Colr.
