This significant mid-century modern home was designed by Arthur Fehr, Fehr & Granger, and contributes to the Old West Austin National Register Historic District. The hand-hewn dry- stack native limestone wall and the decorative metal fence and gate at the back of the property along East Windsor are unique and iconic. Whenever I walk in the area I make a point of going by them. They never fail to brighten my day. The destruction of Austin's history has to stop. We have lost so many structures already!! Please therefore, don't let the O'Quinn House become just one more sad statistic. Instead, please either initiate historic zoning for the property or invoke the 180-day demolition delay option, which is available to you. Thanks for your consideration.
