422 Congress & 101 W 5th Demolition Permit Application Summary The applicant requests a demolition permit for two attached structures at 5th and Congress. The structures have been significantly altered – so much so that the Congress Avenue National Historic District does not even consider them to be historic resources. The Historic Preservation Office and the Historic Landmark Commission have consistently approved exterior modifications to these structures – specifically because they are not historic structures. The property consists of two attached buildings at the intersection of 5th and Congress. This property is one of only two instances in which the Congress Avenue Historic District declared formerly historic buildings to be “intrusions because of the extensive remodeling.” 422 Congress (1951) 422 Congress (2024) 101 W 5th (1951) 101 W 5th (2024) Case No. Address Approval Exterior Building Modifications NRD-2001-0080 101 W. 5th St. NRD-2004-0059 422 Congress Ave. NRD-2007-0021 422 Congress Ave. Staff Staff Staff Approval of projecting sign.

At this point, the structures have been significantly modified – so much so that the Congress Avenue Historic District does not consider them to be contributing and a past staff review found them not to be historic. Accordingly, the applicant requests – and staff recommends – that HLC release the demolition permit. Back-Up Slides The property was the subject of considerable controversy in 2015 when a prior owner applied to operate a strip club out of 422 Congress – prompting Council to restrict adult-oriented businesses in downtown. 1946 1978 2007 2009 2013 2017 2019 2022 2024 1978
