HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS DECEMBER 17, 2021 PR-21-148307; GF-2021-164895 2500 ROSEWOOD AVENUE D.1 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1948 house. ARCHITECTURE This long, one-story Ranch-style house spans across four lots at the corner of Rosewood Ave. and Bedford St. The house is turned slightly on the site such that the façade faces south toward the intersection. The house is surmounted by a side-gabled roof, with a gable on hipped roof over a small front wing at the east end of the façade and a smaller hipped wing on the east elevation. The porch is a small stoop at the corner of the wing and main volume, with a shed roof supported by decorative ironwork. At the west end of the house is a flat-roofed garage wing. Next to the single-car garage door is a secondary entrance with a metal awning. The 1947 building permit notes a garage, but this wing appears to be an addition. A major feature of the house is a substantial rectilinear limestone chimney with three flues that intersects and extends forward from the façade. From the chimney to the porch, the house is clad in limestone. The rest of the house has aluminum siding. Windows were replaced in 2013 and include 1:1, horizontal sliding, and picture windows. There is also a large opening with glass blocks between the chimney and garage. RESEARCH The house was built in 1948 by contractor Oliver Street for Huston-Tillotson professors Bertrand “Bert” and Hazel Poole Adams, who lived in this house almost until the time of their deaths. Bertrand Adams (1912–1999) was from Waco, Texas. He graduated from Wiley College in Marshall, Texas, earned a Master’s in Music Education from Texas Southern University. Bertrand completed a tour of duty in the Navy and was a trombone player in the Navy band. Hazel Poole Adams (1913–2005) was born in Shreveport, Louisiana. She earned a Bachelor’s degree in Education from Wiley College and a Master’s in Health, Physical Education & Recreation from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. Bertrand and Hazel Adams were college sweethearts and married in 1941. The couple moved to Austin in 1945 to teach at Samuel Huston College, Bertrand in the music department and Hazel as the physical education instructor. Both continued to teach at Huston- Tillotson College until 1955. Bertrand Adams was a noted jazz musician and bandleader in Austin, playing music recitals for the …

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Sarah Simpson Friday, December 17, 2021 10:02 AM PAZ Preservation John David Carson Support for Case Number HR 21-193614 - 1808 W 6th Street *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** To Amber Allen, Please accept this email as a word in favor of the proposed project for eight or more condominium units at 1808 W. 6th street. I am in favor of making Austin a more walkable, accessible city with more abundant housing. This proposal will do much more good for the city's housing situation by creating eight new homes where there is currently just one home (which I understand to be unoccupied as a residence) in a centrally located area. Similarly, the current site density does not support sustainable public transportation service. But when redeveloped at eight units this site will just reach a transit‐supportive density and be able to better contribute to Austin's public transportation goals to reduce car dependency, particularly because it is within 1/2 mile of several different bus stops / lines. Redevelopment of this site also allows the contextual adjacencies of today (the presence of Mopac difficult site grading, etc.) to be taken into account that were not present long ago when the site was originally developed. As the proposed site plan and elevations (as accessed from https://www.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=373271) suggest, the redevelopment will create grade‐responsive front entries along 6th / Theresa and overall improve upon the current awkward site condition. Furthermore, this project also creates the opportunity to improve the public realm for both the future residents and current neighbors. Unmanaged speeds and access to the mopac on‐ramp make for dangerous vehicular speeding; and with the lack of sidewalks in various areas pedestrians are quite vulnerable when transitioning from Theresa around to 6th street. This project has the opportunity to ‐ at the very minimum ‐ incorporate improved sidewalk design, right‐sized curb cuts / curb radii to slow car traffic in and out of the site, and enhanced native landscaping to contribute to a better pedestrian experience. Similarly, it is my hope that the City of Austin would also take this opportunity to improve the safety of the roadway conditions in this area to slow vehicular speeds at the same time. Nevertheless, latter ask of the city aside, this project will make the site better for neighbors and all those who walk by the site regularly, myself included. …
