Like many of the beautiful homes on Wooldridge drive, 2514 Wooldridge was built in the 1930s and represents an excellent example of early Pemberton Heights architecture, worthy of preservation. Demolition of this historic home would be devastating to the architectural continuity and historic fabric of Wooldridge Drive. These homes are not just structures, they are artifacts of Central Austin’s early development and embody the charm, scale, and character that make our neighborhood unique. Preserving these homes safeguards the identity of Pemberton Heights and ensures that future generations can experience this rare and irreplaceable piece of Austin’s history. As owners and stewards 2505 Wooldridge drive, we spent 3 years remodeling our home to preserve the integrity of its colonial architecture and historical significance. I would hope and expect the owners of 2514 Wooldridge to do the same. We respectfully urge you to deny the application for demolition of 2514 Wooldridge Drive. Sincerely, Morgan Burnham CAUTION: This is an EXTERNAL email. Please use caution when clicking links or opening attachments.
