Phil Gilbert 3805 Stevenson Ave. Austin, Texas 78703 May 3, 2022 City of Austin Residential Permitting To Whom It May Concern, Re: Objection to Complete Demolition of 2002 Scenic Drive, Austin, Texas I am opposed to the complete demolition of the house at 2002 Scenic Drive, Austin. I live across the street and while a complete demo and new build would no doubt be quicker, it is worth the time and effort to see that the essence of the beautiful, important structure(s) be built upon, not completely torn down. Austin offers a lot to the imagination. It’s that mythology, if you will, that is fueling our growth; it’s enticing hundreds of thousands to become new Austinites. That’s good. Bob Dylan wrote: “He not busy being born is busy dying.” Austin is constantly being born — from the 70’s “outlaws” that turned us into “the live music capital of the world” through to the 21st century technologists we are home to today. Change is good. But we must direct that change into something that is authentic. Something of Austin, not just in Austin. Change for change sake is childish… and change for convenience sake is even worse: it threatens the essence of the Austin ethic that is the wellspring for each renewal. The house at 2002 Scenic Drive is a great example of that weird, wonderful Austin ethic. It may be one of only a handful of remaining properties with this aesthetic. In fact, Scenic Drive itself is an Austin icon… and on Scenic there's only one other house that achieves the result of the house at 2002 Scenic — and it’s The Rock House, right next door. (It also has a colorful history… no doubt when Robert Redford was coming to play at his grandparents’ Rock House in those 1950’s summers he played with friends next door!) 1 2 of I won’t speak much about the specific architectural and design elements that can never be recreated except to say: why would we destroy these last of a kind works when there is no need? The exterior easily displays its uniqueness. But inside is where the magic truly happens. There are literally dozens of one-of-a-kind design elements that would be destroyed forever, if we allowed a total demolition. If you question their value, then go to the property to see them yourself! While we want growth, we surely don’t want indiscriminate …

This property was the location for several neighborhood Holiday parties when the property was rented to Whit and Allison Hanks. Whit was friends with one of the Slator's and was able to rent it. What a historic location for neighborhood events!! It was at this location in 1997 or so that I had a conversation with Tito Beveridge about his plans for the future. He said "I"m starting a vodka company." My response "Good luck with that!" The rest is history. The wonderful Scottie Stevenson was in attendance at these Holiday parties. Dressed to the nines and every bit the former First Lady of Texas, Mrs. Stevenson was a delight to talk to and learn about her fascinating life. We'd all walk the one block to our houses together after the party concluded. https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/austin‐tx/edith‐stevenson‐8213422 My son, who is a stone carver, woodworker and artist commented that many of the staircases on the property are carved into the rocks cascading down the hill. Very unusual to see that quality of workmanship these days. The entire property, with the triangular pool, changing rooms, greenhouse, stone bridge, pathways and numerous stone buildings, is a community treasure. Please do not grant the demolition permit. The property should be restored and preserved. Thank you for your consideration. Birgit Enstrom CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

[ ] To: AMBER ALLEN Attn: Amber Allen Re: 2002 Scenic Dr. Case GF22‐047398‐2002ScenicDr. Greetings. I'm Alison Hanks and I lived at 2002 Scenic from 1996‐2004. Debbie Slator Gillan, landlady, grew up there and told me many things about the house. I also conducted oral histories with the owners of the other 'rock houses' in the area. C.H. and Mildred Slator bought the house in 1947. It remained in the Slator family until sold last year. The house was built by Raymond Maurice Delisle in the 1920s. (Wife‐Ammon McGaughey Delisle.) His artistry can be seen in exterior and interior carvings of animals, clowns, shamrocks, elephant, box of matches and cigar, nude woman, and a mural covering all the walls of the upstairs bathroom with a nude woman reclining on a beach. Weigl interior gates in the living rom are worthy of a 1920s black and white movie. Entry was from the lake, the only way to reach the house as 'River Avenue' as Scenic Dr. was than called, was a dirt path. The metal spider web, with spider, sprawling across the exterior of the front entry window is the reward for climbing the zillion steps from the dock to the 'front door'. Stones used in the building were leftovers from the dam collapse, or from the quarry near what is now Cherry and Rockmoor. The architecture of the house uses many styles . Something that I think gives it a delightfully quirky quality. I don't know of another house in Austin with the same structural enchantment. On to the surrounding area which contributes to the cultural/historical associations. 2002 Scenic has the house, side building, glasshouse, (where Debbie's mother grew prize roses), pool with dressing cabanas, terraced gardens, stone bridge leading to the gardners' cottage‐ 2000 Scenic. An entire estate, relatively untouched for 100 years. Other rock houses were occupied by UT art professors, (1st UT art classroom was at 2105 Scenic), executive editor of newspaper lived at 2005 Scenic, ( built by Raymond Delisle), Commodore Edgar Perry built home at 3810 Kennelwood for Edgar, Jr. and Julie Matthews Perry. Kennelwood Clubhouse, for those of you who may remember Kennelwood Boat Docks, was at …
