HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Permits in National Register Historic Districts July 1, 2026 PR-2026-053670 Travis Heights-Fairview Park Historic District 1109 Travis Heights Boulevard 8 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1920 house. Architecture This American Foursquare house with Prairie School stylistic influences was constructed around 1920. The two- story house has a low-pitched hipped roof with broad overhangs. The full-width, hipped-roof porch has a long, open span supported at the corners by large square columns. The second floor had recessed corners that been infilled and converted to interior space. Much of the house has been covered with aluminum siding. Wood windows appear throughout the building, with larger, multi-lite fixtures appearing at the front elevation and simpler 1-over-1 units more common at the sides and rear. Research Early owners of this ca. 1920 house were Elmer & Cora Young. E. E. Young was co-owner of an automotive dealership, Hart & Young, Willys-Knight and Overland Austin Agency; he later bought out his partner and continued operation under his name. He served as president of the local automobile dealers’ association. Shortly before his death in 1928, Young became secretary of the Stacy Realty Company, developer of the Travis Heights neighborhood. Later owners included Charles & Katherine Brunner, who owned the house from 1929 until 1947. Charles Brunner operated a jewelry business on East Sixth St. beginning in the late 1890s. After his death in 1933, Katherine Brunner continued to run the jewelry store for another ten years. It appears that she leased out the house following her husband’s death but moved back in around 1941. In the 1950s, the house was occupied by Robert B. and Gwendolyn Hill. Robert Hill was a foreman at the Calcasieu Lumber Company. Department Comments A demolition permit for this property was originally referred to HLC in July 2019 (HDP-2019-0379), and the case was subsequently withdrawn. Meeting minutes are available here: https://services.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=325930. A demolition application for the garage at the rear of the property was submitted in 2024 (PR-2024-055675), but this was later withdrawn upon the subsequent owner’s purchase of the property. This property also attended the January 15, 2025 Architectural Review Committee meeting to discuss a potential remodel, though no permit application was submitted for this scope of work. Documentation, including agendas and backup materials, for the three previous applications can be found in backup attached to this case. Per city code § 25-11-213 (G)(4), the …

SOUTH RIVER CITY CITIZENS Mary Fealkoff, President Robin Sanders, Vice President Kenneth Burnett, Co-Vice President Will Andrews, Treasurer Mary Friedman, Membership June 24, 2026 Mr. Ben Heimsath Chair, Historic Landmark Commission City of Austin RE: Preservation of 1109 Travis Heights Blvd. Dear Chair Heimsath, The Historic Preservation Committee of the South River City Citizens neighborhood association opposes the granting of a demolition permit for the historic home at 1109 Travis Heights Boulevard. We believe this home merits consideration as a historic landmark. This house is a contributing circa 1920s American Foursquare within the Travis Heights- Fairview Park Historic District and remains an important example of the neighborhood's early residential development. Its balanced proportions, prominent front porch, and traditional massing embody a residential form that helped define Austin's historic streetcar suburbs. Located on a highly visible corner lot, the house contributes significantly to the character of the surrounding streetscape and serves as an architectural anchor within the district. Unlike many historic homes that have lost their integrity through extensive alterations, this property retains much of its original character and historic fabric. The interior finishes remain in remarkably good condition, preserving craftsmanship, materials, and details that would be difficult and costly to replicate today. Photos of the interior make it clear that it was a high style bungalow for the neighborhood (see attached photos). The beamed ceiling, oak paneling, fireplace, and built-in dining sideboard are fine examples of the Craftsman ideal so important to the bungalow style. The inviting front porch encourages the visitor to walk up the steps, sit down, and be entertained. The entire building retains all of its original massing and there are no unfortunate additions. The rear of the structure has retained the sleeping porch in its South River City Citizens • PO Box 40632 • Austin • Texas • 78704 original configuration. The windows, front door, and roof line are all original to the fabric of the building. These surviving features provide an authentic connection to the home's history and enhance its architectural significance within the district. Importantly, the house is not functionally obsolete or structurally compromised. Available information indicates that the building remains fundamentally sound and highly salvageable. While rehabilitation may require investment, the structure presents a strong opportunity for restoration and thoughtful modernization by a buyer who values historic architecture. The existing building offers a solid foundation for adaptive reuse, renovation, or sensitive expansion without …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Permits in National Register Historic Districts July 1, 2026 PR-2026-059982; GF-2026-073317 Travis Heights-Fairview Park Historic District 2009 Travis Heights Boulevard 9 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1939 house. Architecture The original portion of this house can be seen at the right two thirds of the street-facing façade, which still retains some Tudor Revival details such as the arched door and steep roof pitch. Original side lites and modest front porch with concrete stairs continue with this style. The exterior material is stucco or plaster, which may be original but has been painted. To the north of the main house is a 2012 addition of a covered porch, which was enclosed with walls covered in matching painted stucco, and appears from the street as conditioned space. Behind this is a pergola that is also enclosed by full height walls, though no roof covers it. Research Original owners of this house S.R. & Maxine Blake, who worked in sales and briefly lived at the property before it was acquired by Frank & Florence Schirripa, then Jason & Virginia Forbes, who owned the property for the next ten years. During their ownership, Jason Forbes went from a record keeper at the Texas State House Reporter to a correspondent and finally an editor of the publication. By 1957, the property was sold again to Floy & Pearl Forister. Department Comments Per city code § 25-11-213 (G)(4), the Historic Landmark Commission has 180 days to review demolition permits in National Register historic districts starting from the date the application was submitted. This period is set to time out on November 9, 2026. Property Evaluation The property contributes to the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria for landmark designation: a. Architecture. The building is an intact, if altered, example of Tudor Revival architecture in the district. b. Historical association. The property does not appear to have significant historical associations. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d. Community value. The property does not possess a unique location, physical characteristic, …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Permits in National Register Historic Districts July 1, 2026 PR-2026-069571; HR-2026-073406 Travis Heights-Fairview Park Historic District 1212 Bickler Road 10 – 1 Proposal Construct a second housing unit at a contributing property. Project Specifications Construct a detached housing unit behind the existing main house. The proposed unit is two stories and 1,055 square feet in size, and is oriented towards the front of the property. Design Standards The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location The proposed accessory building is located at the rear of the property, minimally visible from the street. This is typical of other secondary housing units in the neighborhood, both from the period of significance and more recent new construction. 2. Orientation New construction is oriented towards the street, which is typical of the district generally and the neighboring houses specifically. 3. Scale, massing, and height While most contributing properties in the area are a single story, there are several that have had a second floor addition since construction. Given the location of the second dwelling unit at the rear of the property, a two-story structure of limited footprint, as is being proposed, does not look out of place and meet the design standards. 4. Proportions Like the section above, the two-story housing unit does extend higher than many original houses in the district, but its proportions are reasonable and it does not appear out of place. 5. Design and style The design of the proposed residence does not pull strongly from any one style, nor does it combine styles to create an inappropriate appearance. Materials proposed can be found throughout the district, and ornament is kept to a minimum. 6. Roofs The front gable assembly proposed is simple and can be found throughout the district. In some cases, a front-facing gable on a two-story building can increase the overall height to a point where it negatively affects the visibility from the street. However, this is not the case here, as the roof pitch is kept low. 7. Exterior walls Exterior walls are proposed to be clad in lapped siding at the first floor with board and batten above. These materials can be found throughout the …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Demolition and Relocation Permits July 1, 2026 PR-2026-040403 1808 East Cesar Chavez Street 11 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1930 structure. Architecture The existing structure is a two story commercial structure with two storefront entries side-by-side on the main elevation. There is a small, metal clad awning above the ground floor entryways. Above, two sets of paired, wood- frame windows are present at the second floor, with a moderately pitched hipped roof with exposed rafter tails above. The roof material is metal standing seam, and all exterior walls are clad in thin teardrop siding. While several of the windows are currently boarded over or otherwise inaccessible, images from the past decade would indicate that the existing material is largely intact, if in need of repair. Research This property has a long history of commercial tenants who served the East Austin community. For several decades after construction, it was home to a beauty parlor, a barber shop, and a shoe repair shop. By the 1950s, one or more of these tenants had vacated the building, but there was always at least one occupied storefront at the property. Newspaper records feature advertisements for Smith’s Barber Shop, Guarantee Wave Shop, and Carlson’s Shoe Repair Shop. The latter of these was owned by Reverend E. A. Carlson, formerly a Swedish Baptist minister, for 31 years until his death in 1964. Department Comments Two permits were issued for the property in 1999, though there are no digitized records of the application material. However, summary descriptions are available in city records. One permit described work to remodel the building’s interior & exterior to create a duplex. The second permit from the same year is summarized as, “Add 1st floor stair tower, porch, and 2nd floor extension.” There are no records of this property being surveyed in the 1980 East Austin historic resource survey or the 1984 citywide comprehensive resource survey. At time of writing, no photos of the property can be found prior to the 1999 permits. This application will time out on August 17, 2026. Property Evaluation The 2016 East Austin historic resource survey lists the property as eligible as a City of Austin landmark, as well as contributing to a potential local or National Register historic district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate integrity. 3) …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Demolition and Relocation Permits July 1, 2026 PR-2026-062237; GF-2026-073365 2103 Enfield Road 12 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1953 house. Architecture The property is a two-story residential duplex located on Enfield Road, which was experiencing major development in the 1950s along the east-west road corridor. Unlike other duplex properties, where the house may have been subdivided, this structure appears to have been purpose built as a top-bottom duplex, with two front doors at the entry and similar floorplans that each extend the entire floorplate save for vertical circulation. Each unit has a large picture window to the right of the main entry and a paired window to the left, most likely serving a bedroom. The walls are clad in tan brick with minimal ornament, and the hipped roof is set at a moderate pitch above, with a matching shape and slope covering the entryway. All windows appear to have been replaced around 2011, but the remainder of the building’s architecture is intact. Research Mentioned above, the location of this property is on a major east-west road corridor that was undergoing significant development at time of construction. The lot was located near the north-south rail corridor that would later see the construction of MoPac Expressway. The first owner of the property was Bernice Owen, who was a widow of Joseph Owen and served in several religious and community groups, notably the St. Jude’s Ladies Auxiliary. She is listed as living in one of the two units for several years, renting out the other to various renters, including Bess Belford, another widow, and Francis Maloney, who worked as an assistant district attorney. By the 1970s, the property was listed as the final address for Charles Kouri, the brother of Bernice Owen. Department Comments This application will time out on September 14, 2026. Property Evaluation The 2011 MoPac Reconnaissance Historic Resource Survey lists the property as contributing to a potential Westfield historic district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate to high integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria for landmark designation: a. Architecture. The building is a good example of 1950s duplex residential architecture. b. Historical association. The property does not appear to have significant …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Demolition and Relocation Permits July 1, 2026 PR-2026-062639; GF-2026-073384 1004 W. 43rd Street 13 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1938 house. Architecture One-story bungalow with partial-width gabled front porch, 1:1 wood windows, horizontal wood siding, and an asymmetrical plan. Research The house at 1004 W. 43rd Street, also addressed as 1104 W. 43rd Street during the historic period, was constructed by Jerry Schiller in 1938. Schiller was a carpenter for the University of Texas for several decades and it is likely that his handiwork also appears on his family dwelling; the house’s unusual fenestration pattern and somewhat anachronistic Craftsman influences suggest either a non-developer builder or seamless changes over time completed by a skilled craftsperson. The Schiller family moved to 1205 W. 43rd Street toward the end of the historic period. Department Comments The demolition application for 1004 W. 43rd Street first appears on the July 1, 2026 agenda of the Historic Landmark Commission. The 75-day timeline for action will elapse on September 14, 2026. Property Evaluation The 2016 Bouldin survey lists the property as contributing to a potential historic district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria for landmark designation: a. Architecture. The building is a Craftsman bungalow. b. Historical association. The property does not appear to have significant historical associations. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d. Community value. The property does not possess a unique location, physical characteristic, or significant feature that contributes to the character, image, or cultural identity of the city, the neighborhood, or a particular demographic group. e. Landscape feature. The property is not a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, aesthetic, cultural, or historical value to the city. Staff Recommendation Encourage rehabilitation and adaptive reuse, relocation, or deconstruction and salvage over demolition, but approve the demolition permit application upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package.

MEMORANDUM TO: Historic Landmark Commission FROM: Katy Zamesnik, Interim Director, Austin Convention Center DATE : July 1, 2026 SUBJECT: Update on Rezoning Resolution Item for Castleman-Bull House The purpose of this memorandum is to provide an update on the historic zoning of the Castleman-Bull House. On June 5, 2025, City Council approved Ordinance No. 20250605-022 initiating the rezoning of city properties located at 201, 201 ½, 205, and 217 Red River Street and 603 East 3rd Street, which are adjacent to the Austin Convention Center located at 500 East Cesar Chavez Street. The purpose of the resolution was to facilitate development activities related to the Convention Center redevelopment (the “Project”) and expansion project. Tracts 3 and 4 of the subject property were subsequently rezoned through Ordinance No. 20251023-072, to allow relocation and reorientation of the Castleman-Bull House at 201 Red River Street and to apply historic zoning to the historic building. At that time, the building was to be reoriented to accommodate the Downtown District Chilling Plant #4.1 (“DCP4.1”), which was originally planned for this site. An upcoming Council Item on August 27, 2026, will initiate a modification of the previous resolution. As the Project has progressed, it has been determined that the DCP4.1 will no longer be constructed on the block east of the Convention Center. Thus, this Project will not require relocation and reorientation of the Castleman-Bull House. The previous rezoning of Tracts 3 and 4 will be modified to keep the current location of the Castleman-Bull House and apply historic zoning to its footprint. The Trask House is still proposed to be relocated back to its original site on the plaza of the new convention center. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Austin Equity-Based Preservation Plan Implementation: TRANSFER OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS (TDR) Market Analysis Historic Landmark Commission June 3, 2026 The Why Council Direction: Comprehensively reform Austin's historic tax incentive program to advance equity and align with specific recommendations in the Equity-Based Preservation Plan, including Transfers of Development Rights. (Resolution 20230323-059, Resolution 20241121-078 Motion Sheet #1) Downtown Austin Plan: Establish a Transfer of Development Rights system to allow Warehouse District property owners to sell unused floor area to property owners seeking greater density in other parts of Downtown. (Adopted 2011) Equity-Based Preservation Plan: Actively explore how a Transfer of Development Rights program could successfully support preservation of smaller-scale downtown buildings, commercial corridors, and historic districts in areas targeted for higher density. (Adopted Nov. 2024 as part of Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan) What is Transfer of Development Rights (TDR)? How It Works • Voluntary, market-based tool • The owner of a protected property (sending site) sells unused development capacity • The developer (receiving site) purchases additional development capacity for a new building Sending Sites are properties the City wants to protect, such as historic landmarks. Receiving Sites are properties in areas targeted for higher population density and growth. Receiving Site Sending Site Sending Site Source: NYU Furman Center TDR & Density Bonus Programs Considerations for Integration • Similar areas, different scales • Affordability should remain a priority • Setting a maximum allowable height would provide predictability for developers and neighbors • Further analysis and refinement are critical to ensure that any future TDR program complements density bonus programs Example Receiving Zones + TDR + Density Bonus + By-Right = Maximum Allowable Height TDR Project Timeline 5 2 0 2 . v o N 6 2 0 2 . n a J Research & Analysis Technical Analysis Engagement 6 2 0 2 h c r a M 6 2 0 2 l i r p A 6 2 0 2 e n u J We Are Here Program Structure 6 2 0 2 y l u J Final Report Survey & Focus Group Housing & Planning Committee Historic Landmark Commission Council Memo 1 2 3 4 TDR Stakeholder Committee Review TECHNICAL ANALYSIS Technical Analysis Study Areas Potential Sending Zones Example Receiving Zones Scale of TDR Supply Potential Sending Parcels 447 parcels may qualify as sending sites Sending Zone Historic Landmarks Eligible Landmarks E 11th & 12th St E Cesar Chavez & E 6th St …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificate of Appropriateness June 3, 2026 PR-2026-008188; GF-2026-025308 Robertson/Stuart & Mair Historic District 1005 East 8th Street 5 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1906 house listed as contributing to a local historic district. Architecture The house at 1005 East 8th St. was likely originally constructed as a single story building, with the sloping elevation of the site creating a crawlspace or cellar to the east side of the building footprint. Since its construction, this has been enclosed, and a rear addition built, increasing the enclosed area of the building. However, the U-shaped form and Folk Victorian elements still read legibly, and decorative elements, especially at the front porch and gable ends, remain present. The integrity of the architecture is strong and the property remains contributing to the Robertson/Stuart & Mair historic district. Research For the first 30 years after construction, the property went through a series of renters, made up of families and individuals employed by various local industries and services, including carpenters, foundry workers, and porters. The first long term owners were Ernest & Marie Kemp, who operated a local grocery. Marie Kemp continued to live at the address after her husband’s death, but by the 1950s, the property was vacant before becoming subdivided for oil industry and other professional offices. A third housing unit was added in 1970, indicating that this property continued use as residential rentals. An overnight fire occurred at the property on November 12th, 20251. Department Comments This application will time out on August 15, 2026. Property Evaluation The property contributes to the Robertson/Stuart & Mair Historic District. Staff Recommendation Postpone the public hearing to the July 1, 2026 Historic Landmark Commission meeting and invite the applicant to the May 13, 2026 meeting of the Architectural Review Committee to discuss alternatives to demolition. 1 “Firefighter injured in East Austin house fire, investigation underway”. https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/afd-responding-to- house-fire-in-east-austin-no-injuries-reported Location Map 5 – 2 Property Information Photos 5 – 3 Texas Historical Commission, photograph, May 29, 1975.
