Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution To the Historic Preservation Office: We, the owners of 1502 Hardouin Drive, a designated historic property, respectfully submit this letter in opposition to the pending application for demolition of 2514 Wooldridge Drive. Constructed in the 1930s, 2514 Wooldridge Drive is a significant and well-preserved example of early Pemberton Heights architecture. Its scale, character, and craftsmanship embody the qualities that define the historic identity of the neighborhood and contribute to the integrity of Wooldridge Drive as a whole. Approval of this demolition would not only result in the irreversible loss of a historically and architecturally important structure, but would also compromise the continuity and historic fabric of the district. These homes are integral to understanding Central Austin’s early development, and their preservation is essential to maintaining the neighborhood’s unique character for future generations. For these reasons, we respectfully urge the Commission to deny the application for demolition of 2514 Wooldridge Drive. Sincerely, Laura and Richard Key CAUTION: This is an EXTERNAL email.
