There are some results in the newspaper archive about DeLisle, but none of them seem to be historic – the few articles generally reference him in relation to his business/investments. Urnite was one of these investments, but rather than being historic, it appears to be a failed venture. Putting aside advertisements and wayfinding (ie. snippets that mention the Urnite company’s location in order to provide directions 1 to someplace else), there appear to be less than 10 actual articles about urnite and they disappear entirely within just a few years after the company was founded. As far as we can tell, that’s the end of the line – and no one we’ve talked to so far has ever heard of urnite. Most notably, DeLisle’s obituary only mentions a 25‐year optician practice and no mention of urnite. Additionally, 2002 Scenic was built in 1923 but the urnite company wasn’t even founded until four years after that, in 1927. We have also confirmed that the bridge and bench are made from stone and cement – and it is unclear whether the inlaid tiles are ceramic or composite plastic. I hope you will consider clarifying that DeLisle is not an appropriate …
May 26, 2022 Terri Myers, Chair City of Austin Historic Landmark Commission Re: 2002 Scenic Drive Dear Ms. Myers, Preservation Austin exists to empower Austinites to shape a more inclusive, resilient, and meaningful community culture through preservation. We love a good building, and write today to express our concern over the possible demolition of 2002 Scenic Drive (PR-2002-032448), a property that we believe is eligible for historic designation. Following the May HLC meeting during which this case was postponed, Preservation Austin conducted additional research into the history of the site beyond what was included in the case backup materials. Based on the backup materials and our additional research, Preservation Austin believes that the property meets the criteria for significance under Architecture and Historical Association. However, we also believe that additional research is needed and ask that HPO staff be given more time to research the complete history of this property so that the best preservation outcome may be achieved. The property on Scenic Drive retains integrity as defined by the National Register of Historic Places and clearly conveys historical significance. Its wholly unique design and landscape tell a distinct Austin story that we are just beginning to understand, and we echo neighbors’ extreme dismay that this rare architectural treasure might be razed. Preservation Austin believes the properties meet the following criteria for preservation under Austin’s current development code: Architecture: The primary building at 2002 Scenic Drive is a two-story Spanish eclectic residence with Modern and eclectic additions constructed during the historic period. Fenestration includes multi-light wood casement windows irregularly placed throughout. A cylindrical turret with a crenelated parapet and arched windows flanks an open masonry porch that leads to an expansive designed landscape. Both the exterior and interior feature elaborately carved keystones with human and animal motifs. The landscape features tinted concrete elements including a footbridge and a bench. Based on our research, we determined that 2002 Scenic Drive (formerly 2002 River Road) was built in 1923. Its architect is yet unclear; however, we know that the home was built by Raymond Delisle, who was the builder of several homes along Lake Austin around this time. Delisle was a businessman involved in many endeavors, including the Urnite Manufacturing Company, where he held the position of director. 2002 Scenic Drive’s architecture is extremely similar to that of the smaller cottage at 2005 Scenic Drive, which features stonework and a mantle bearing …

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Sarah Stovall Monday, May 30, 2022 11:49 AM HPD Preservation The Rock House Follow Up Flag: Flag Status: Follow up Flagged *** External Email ‐ Exercise Caution *** Dear members of HLC, I am writing today as a Tarrytown neighbor of The Rock House (2002 Scenic Drive) and strong believer in the preservation of our cultural heritage. My great great great uncle, AJ Eilers, donated the land and spring fed pool for Eilers Park. Additionally, my ancestors built the McKean Eilers building which still stands on Congress Avenue. He wanted that land to be preserved for the people of Austin. I am thankful that the HLC made the McKean Eilers building a historic landmark although there were changes made to the building. What does historical mean to Austin? What is left? The Rock House is one of a kind and unique. As members of the Historical Landmark Commission, you have an obligation to preserve the unique history and culture of Austin. Every day for the past 16 years, I have walked my dogs past The Rock House and enjoyed its wonderful character ‐ the stonework, the arches, turret and triangle pool. It needs care, not a bulldozer. If The Rock House is bulldozed, as it seems most of Austin is, there will be nothing left of Austin’s once unique character that people love so much. People moving here from other parts of the country don’t care about preserving Austin. WE MUST. Once history is gone, it’s gone forever. Thank you for your consideration in preserving The Rock House.

Do people not notice and value our older buildings, their history and character? Certainly a house built in the 1930's has value to retain at least part of it. Houses such as this do not happen anymore. It must be possible to rennovate in such a way the at least part of the older structure can be retained. All over town, people purchase and destroy areas that contribute to the character of Austin. Where is their imagination and the skill of their architects? Soon there won't be anything of value left!

Organized 1973 OFFICERS Holly Reed President Cathy Kyle Past President, Secretary George Edwards Treasurer Blake Tollett Assistant Treasurer BOARD MEMBERS Mary Arnold Joyce Basciano Joe Bennett Sarah Hawthorne Cain Michael Cannatti Heidi Gibbons Bob Hamilton Craig Lill Brady Pedneau WEST AUSTIN NEIGHBORHOOD GROUP City of Austin Historic Landmark Commission 301 W 2nd St. Austin, Texas 78701 May 30, 2022 RE: PR-2002-032448, 2002 Scenic Drive Dear Chair Myers and Members of the Historic Landmark Commission, On behalf of the West Austin Neighborhood Group Board of Directors, I write to convey our unanimous support for initiating historic zoning at 2002 Scenic Drive. The home and landscaping at 2002 Scenic Dr. has long been known to our neighborhood as the “Rock House,” possessing significant historical architecture and community value in the WANG area. The unique materials used in the construction of this home, the artistic stone features, and location next to Lake Austin make this special home part of the cultural identity of our neighborhood and our city. This was one of the earliest homes built in our neighborhood, dating back to 1923. The stone work resembles several other stone cottages and homes built near Lake Austin during this time period. The building of these homes coincides with a national movement, the “City Beautiful Movement” of the early 1900s, as described in this RECONNAISSANCE -LEVEL SURVEY – NRHP EVALUATIONS, CSJ No. 3136-01-107 – TxDOT Contract 14-548P5003, WA No. 11 “Developers, as early as 1915, viewed the relatively undeveloped land of West Austin as favorable to developments centered around the automobile, which by the 1920s began to surpass the streetcar. In the eyes of developers, the remote area would appeal to automobile owners eager to escape city life. In addition, the natural beauty found in the hilly topography of West Austin would attract new residents. Scenic roads in the area, including the road following the Colorado River to the landmark Mount Bonnell, became even more popular as a result of the automobile. Coinciding with these factors was the growing influence of the City Beautiful Movement upon subdivision development in the early twentieth century. Occurring across the nation in the 1890s, the City Beautiful Movement emphasized cohesive subdivisions characterized by planned developments, deed restrictions and park-like settings. Such subdivisions were often referred to as Garden Suburbs, as they incorporated natural elements and community-oriented design. The hilly topography west of downtown Austin was perfectly suited to …

Re 2002 Scenic Drive. I suppose you have seen the property. I've lived in Austin my entire life (born here) and have remembered that house since childhood. It stands out for its charm. During 2 years of covid, I rode my bike down Scenic and past that house almost every day. Always loved looking at it and its somehow old world building style. A charming place, please give it your best effort to preserve it. Re historic preservation in general ‐‐ copying councilmember Alter also. This city does not do nearly enough to preserve our beautiful old houses and neighborhoods. Nowhere near enough. The most beautiful and charming area in all Austin (in my opinion) is the old city between 7th street and 18th street. It always brings pleasure when I go through this area and see the charming places. This whole area is being encroached upon from all directions and I guarantee you it will be essentially gone in 50 years unless we take action to preserve it. Why do you think people love to be in Fredericksburg, for example? The beauty and charm of its old buildings and houses. Being in such unique charm and history refreshes the soul. 1 CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.
