HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Demolition and Relocation Permits September 2, 2026 PR-2026-095892; GF-2026-103846 3014 Windsor Road 20 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1939 house. Architecture One-story Tudor-styled Minimal Traditional house with stucco cladding, shallow eaves, arched entryway, a tapering exterior chimney, and cross-gabled roofline. Windows have been replaced. Research The house at 3014 Windsor Road was built around 1939. Its earliest residents were the Baggett family. Charles Baggett and his brother, Jim, operated the real estate firm of Baggett and Baggett in the 1920s and 1930s; his son later joined the firm, and its name was changed briefly to Baggett, Bagget, and Baggett and finally to Baggett and Son. Before the Baggett family moved to Windsor Road, both Charles and Jim Baggett had been named as suspects, along with 17 other businessmen, in the 1921 shooting death of taxicab driver Peeler Clayton. This notable case was one of the first to highlight the increasing violence of the Ku Klux Klan in Austin, as Clayton purportedly took a bullet meant for anti-KKK activist and former district attorney John Shelton. Those arrested had been seen in or near a notorious Klan meeting place at the time of the shooting. Though Charles Baggett was one of the first whose charges were dismissed, the remaining suspects—plus four additional federal and state law enforcement officers— appeared before a grand jury in 1922. The investigation soon focused on two confirmed Klansmen, but unfortunately the shooter was never identified and the suspects were released.1 2 Neither Baggetts’ affiliation with the KKK was ever substantiated or refuted in news coverage of the case, and the family continued operating a successful real estate business into the 1940s. After about eight years, the Baggetts sold the Windsor Road house to Max and Nolie Hoegerl. Max Hoegerl worked for the Austin Statesman as an advertising salesman. Nolie Hoegerl Parker was a beautician who operated the nearby Tarrytown Beauty Salon. Max Hoegerl died suddenly in 1963. Nolie Hoegerl Parker remarried and remained in the house until her own death in 1975. Department Comments The Historic Landmark Commission’s 75-day timeline for action begins on September 2, 2026, and ends November 16, 2026. Property Evaluation Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain integrity. Windows have been replaced but original openings remain. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff have evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria for landmark designation: a. Architecture. The building is a good example of the Minimal Traditional design with simplified Tudor Revival styling, similar to the adjacent property and the contemporary fire station at 3009 Windsor Rd. 1 Bernstein, Patricia.
