In re: 702 Winflo - PR-2025-105857 Attn: Austin Lukes 29 September 2025 Dear Chair Heimsath and Commissioners, As a long time (since 1992) property tax payer in the West Line National Historical District I was shocked to learn this past weekend that the mid-fifties Hoffbrau house at 702 Winflo may be bought by someone who plans to demolish it and build yet another oversized and inappropriate McMansion of the sort that have been allowed to spring up on Oakland Avenue though not, significantly, on our western neighbor Harthan. I support OWANA’s desire to advocate for the preservation of this house coeval with mine and all too few others on the hill which once housed a 19th c Victorian house built for the Nalle family, as documented in the AAS. Thank you for your consideration, Mary Blockley 702 Brownlee Circle 512 469-9699
