Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution To Whom It May Concern, We, the owners of 2407 Pemberton Pl, object to the application to demolish 2514 Wooldridge Drive. 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. Additionally, the “streetscape” - the symmetry of the lots and homes on our block - is another example of what makes our neighborhood special and beautiful. Wooldridge is an old and historic street. The style and scale of the proposed new home does not fit with the block. If a new home is to be built in this location, we would hope it would fit more closely with the integrity of the streetscape.
