Yes, there is already a similar new construction on the other side of the hill, the side with the apartment buildings. I would note that other recent remodels, like 701 Brownlee and 716 across the street from 702 Winflo have a noticeably lower profile. Also, 712 and 707 Brownlee, while tall, have non-stucco facades more in keeping with the dozen plus other mid-century and earlier properties here. I ask for a more detailed and less blonde- box description before permitting. Sincerely, Mary Blockley 702 Brownlee Circle CAUTION: This is an EXTERNAL email.

February 4, 2026 RE: Dr. O.H. and Thelma Elliott House Historic Landmark Designation Dear Chair Heimsath, Vice Chair Evans, and Members of the Historic Landmark Commission Preservation Austin exists to empower Austinites to shape a more inclusive, resilient, and meaningful community culture through preservation. We write in support of the proposed historic landmark designation of the Dr. O.H. and Thelma Elliott House for architecture and historic associations. Built in 1954, the Elliot House is a testament to the lives of two remarkable educators and civic leaders, Dr. Ora Herman Elliott and Thelma Mitchell Elliott. The Elliots were leaders in the communities of segregated East Austin and in the state and nationwide Civil Rights movement. Dr. O.H. Elliot served as business manager and Interim President of Samuel Houston College, and was instrumental in the merger of the college with Tillotson College in 1952, forming Houston-Tillotson University. Among his many accomplishments, Dr. Elliot led efforts to seek Black representation in elections within the Democratic Party in the 1940s, was a director of the City’s Rights Agency tasked with implementation of the Civil Rights Law of 1964, and played a significant role in the founding of Austin Community College in 1973 through his work with the Coordinating Board of Texas Colleges and Universities. Through his decades of political involvement, Dr. Elliot cultivated close relationships with President Lyndon B. Johnson, Governors John Connally, Preston Smith, and Dolph Briscoe, and U.S. Representative Jake Pickle. Thelma Mitchell Elliot was one of the first students to desegregate the University of Texas in the 1950s and was the first Black woman to graduate and obtain her degree from UT’s School of Social Work. She was the first Black female probation officer for the Travis County Juvenile Court, serving in this role for 10 years. In 1966, Mrs. Elliot was recruited to lead the ENABLE (Education and Neighborhood Action for Better Living Environment) program, part of President Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty, which tackled initiatives from unsanitary living conditions in rental units to neighborhood safety and infrastructure. Her efforts under ENABLE Austin were recognized as one of the most successful initiatives of its kind nationwide. Homeowner and daughter, Ms. Ora Houston, carries on her parents’ legacy of civic leadership, notably during her time as representative of District 1 on Austin City Council from 2015 to 2019. A committed preservationist, we congratulate Ms. Houston on her efforts to preserve her …

This house is one of the oldest remaining homes in the neighborhood and meets the City’s criteria for historic consideration, including architectural significance, association with early settlers in this area of Austin, and established community value. It is also one of the few remaining structures tied to the Swedish history of Swede Hill, much of which has already been lost to prior development. Neighborhood representatives have attempted to contact the applicant to discuss alternatives to demolition, but those requests have gone unanswered. This raises concerns about demolition-by-neglect and a lack of good-faith engagement in the preservation review process. The applicant’s consistent demolitions among their considerable 12th and 13th Street holdings and plethora of empty lots have become a blight on the East Side. It is about time that the Board and the City of Austin to do something about it as it is long overdue. They are not honest brokers and never will be until they held to account.. I respectfully urge the Commission to deny the demolition permit and to require consideration of preservation alternatives consistent with the City’s adopted criteria and long-term neighborhood interests.

For More Information: James Snow, Director, Capital Delivery Services, 512-974-9795; Eric Bailey, Interim Deputy Director, Capital Delivery Services, 512-974-7713; Paulinda Lanham, Capital Delivery Project Manager, Capital Delivery Services, 512-974-7974. Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: November 10, 2022 - Update on the Barton Springs Road Bridge over Barton Creek project to the Mobility Committee. Update only, no action taken. May 11, 2023 - Briefing on the Barton Springs Road Bridge project and mobility elements of the Zilker Park Vision Plan to the Mobility Committee. Briefing only, no action taken. October 27, 2023 - Briefing on the Barton Springs Road Bridge project to the Mobility Committee. Additional Backup Information: The Barton Springs Road Bridge over Barton Creek is located near the intersection of Azie Morton Road and Barton Springs Road. The location of the bridge, at the entrance to Zilker Park, is a focal point of key community events such as Austin City Limits Musical Festival, South-By-Southwest (SXSW) Conference and Music Festival, Barton Springs, Trail of Lights, and Blues on the Green. Barton Springs Road and the associated bridge is also a key connection for vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian access linking Mopac to downtown and the South Lamar/Congress Avenue corridors, as well as providing the primary northern entrance to the Zilker and Barton Hills neighborhoods via Azie Morton Road, located immediately east of the bridge. The full bridge replacement option provides the most cost-effective and the longest useful life The Barton Springs Road Bridge over Barton Creek requires rehabilitation or replacement. It was originally built in 1925 and was expanded on one side in 1946. Structurally it is in fair condition, however, the existing bridge dimensions, sidewalks, and bike lanes do not meet with current design standards. The roadway west of Azie Morton Road is not aligned with the roadway east of Azie Morton Road. The project will reduce congestion and provide benefits to the local neighborhoods, commuters (all travel modes), and local businesses, as well as Zilker Park users and event attendees.

This has been a project that has had me scratching my head for some time now. There is so much about this project that is confusing that I won't be able to get to them all, but here's a few for you. Barton Springs Rd was brought down to one lane each way. Speak very slowly to me as you explain why we will have a four lane bridge with a two lane road. We have gone to great lengths (the Pfluger pedestrian bridge, for example) to save other bridges that don't even serve as the entrance to a historic and important park. Why not this one? Destroying and replacing the bridge is really expensive - way more expensive than even predicted! Why on earth is the city looking to spend a huge amount of money here rather than on the priorities they bemone being left behind by prop Q? And don't forget all the environmental impact to that very sensitive area! Please vote no on the Barton Springs Bridge destruction and replacement. Thank you for your service to Austin.

Although it is a beau(cid:415)ful historic bridge, it is dangerously narrow for pedestrians and cyclists. It is impera(cid:415)ve that a replacement include protected bicycle lanes on both sides of the bridge and wide pedestrian sidewalks.

Regards, David Weinberg Barton Hills From ZNA: The historic Zilker Park bridge, built in the 1920s and expanded in the 1940s, is a critical contributing feature of the National Register of Historic Places' Zilker Park Historic District. We urge the City Council to protect and preserve this bridge indefinitely and to reverse the decision to replace it with a standard highway-style bridge. Since our 2025 resolution, new data has further solidified our opposition: Escalating Costs: The estimated cost for a replacement bridge has increased from $40 million to $54.5 million. Funding Gap: While the city has secured a $32 million federal grant, the total project cost of $54.5 million leaves a significant unfunded gap of approximately $14.5 million. Viable …

Holland was born around 1850 in Marshall, Texas.2 By 1880, census records indicate that he was working as a farmer in rural Travis County. By 1900, John M. Holland and his family lived in Austin at 1409 San Bernard Street (house no longer extant), and he was working as a sexton at a church.3 Other sources indicate that John M. Holland also worked as a real estate agent.4 By 1920, John M. Holland and his family lived at present-day 1193 ½ San Bernard Street (then addressed as 1189 San Bernard Street).5 William H. Holland—likely the brother of John M. Holland—was born around 1849 in Marshall, Texas.6 William H. Holland went on to become “the superintendent of the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Institute for Colored Youths of Texas.”7 By 1889, city directories indicate that he lived “about 2 ½ miles northwest” of downtown Austin, “north of Mt.

Kalan Contreras Historic Preservation Office City of Austin October 15, 2025 Subject: Request to consider initiation of historic zoning, Bethany Cemetery (1300 Springdale Rd) Dear Ms. Contreras: We would like to include the Bethany Cemetery, located at 1300 Springdale Road, on the Historic Landmark Commission’s November agenda for consideration of initiation of historic zoning. The owner, the Bethany Cemetery Association, fully supports this request. Bethany Cemetery is a six- acre, private burial ground located in East Austin. The Bethany Cemetery Company was formed in 1893 in response to the needs of the African American community. Bethany Cemetery is considered Austin’s first black cemetery.1 The Cemetery contains graves on site as early as 1871 and is strategically situated along El Camino Real de los Tejas, a 17th/18th- Century Native American and Spanish Colonial trade route. Hundreds of Austinites are buried at Bethany Cemetery, many of which have dedicated their lives to the betterment of African Americans throughout the region. Dozens are associated with local Black churches, benevolent societies, trade unions, lodges, businesses, war veterans, and tragic events such as the Waller and Shoal Creeks Flood of 1915. Bethany Cemetery is a reminder of the development of Austin’s African American Community from the time of slavery and the Civil War through the present. The impact of the site and its interred are felt citywide to this day, as likely remnants of the Camino Real are intact, and Bethany Cemetery Association maintains an active curriculum program for public schools. The Cemetery’s strong community value, historical associations, archeology, and landscape features, more than fulfill the criteria for local landmark designation. Thank you for your consideration and feel free to reach out regarding any questions or concerns. Thank you, Roxanne Evans Roxanne Evans Historic Landmark Commissioner and Vice Chair, District 2 BC-Roxanne.Evans@AustinTexas.gov Motioned By: Commissioner Evans Kevin Koch, AIA Historic Landmark Commissioner, District 3 BC-Kevin.Koch@AustinTexas.gov Seconded By: Commissioner Koch 1 Austin’s first public cemetery, Oakwood Cemetery, allowed a designated corner for “colored” Austinites in 1856, and the nearby Plummers Cemetery was established around 1898 (another private African American rural cemetery later purchased by the City of Austin). Evergreen Cemetery, established in 1926 to serve Austin’s African American Community contains the historic Highland Park Cemetery. Highland Park Cemetery was established in 1891 and reportedly served all races from 1891-1893. Oakwood Cemetery was established by the state in 1839 and later transferred to the City of Austin …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificates of Appropriateness January 7, 2026 HR-2025-158116 Castle Hill Historic District 1114 West 10th Street 3 – 1 Proposal Rehabilitate a contributing property. Demolish a non-historic rear addition and construct a new addition in its place. Project Specifications 1) Repair or patch exterior masonry, stone, and wood elements. Remove incompatible non-historic interventions. 2) Replace non-historic metal roof and replace it with an asphault shingle system. 3) Replace window sashes with insulated units and screens 4) Demolish a rear, 1970s addition including kitchen and bathroom. 5) Construct a rear addition in a similar location, wider than original house. Addition is proposed to be two structures connected by a screened porch. Architecture This residence is a single-story structure with a front porch at one corner of the street-facing elevation and a projecting front room at the other. The house is elevated on piers with a vented crawlspace, and the walls are clad in white stone. There are several large windows present at the front, and a large gable roof hangs over the main façade. Design Standards The Castle Hill Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Rehabilitation or Alteration of Contributing Buildings Retain character defining features: Window frames are proposed to be replaced with insulted glass units. While the application calls for frames to match the existing in dimensions, there are no measured line drawings provided to verify exact dimensions will be replicated. Even if existing units are matched exactly, this would result is some loss of character defining features. The design standards also call for consideration of alternate options to achieve energy efficiency, including window fil,, weatherstripping, shutters, or interior treatments instead of frame replacement. Repair: Documentation of excessive deterioration at existing windows has not been provided. Design standards recommend repair practices unless material is beyond repair. Roofs: The application calls for the existing standing-seam metal roof to be removed and replaced with an asphalt shingle system. While metal roofs are not uncommon in the district, many (including at this property) appear to be replacements from outside the district’s period of significance. Asphalt shingles are present throughout the district, and drawings indicate that the roof pitch, shape, and form will remain the same. Masonry: Repair and repointing is proposed where needed, but further information would be required to find an appropriate mixture that does …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificates of Appropriateness January 7, 2026 HR-2025-158169 Confederate Woman’s Home 3710 Cedar Street 4 – 1 Proposal Construct two courtyard additions at a City of Austin landmark. Project Specifications 1) At the interior courtyard, construct a two-story addition behind the main structure of the Confederate Women’s Home. 2) Construct a rear addition at the rear, Home Ln. facing service structure. 3) Replace windows as required due to failure or deterioration. 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 at historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 5. Windows, doors, and screens The application states that windows and some doors will be replaced on the main building, but detail drawings or a window schedule have not been provided, so the amount of replacements proposed, as well as the existing conditions, cannot be commented on at this time. Residential additions 1. Location Bothadditions are to be located at the rear of their respective buildings. The main building faces Cedar Street and West 38th Street, and the rear heating plant/storage facility faces Home Lane. However, due to the narrow block layout of the site, as well as the two buildings forming an incomplete loop, both rear additions will be visible from the street. 2. Scale, massing, and height The addition to the main building will be two stories in height, and the addition at the heating/storage building will be mostly a single-story with some second floor buildout. The massing of the living space is generally acceptable, but the proposed roof at the main addition will extend the overall roofline above the existing and will create visibility issues at Cedar Street and possibly West 38th Street. Due to this being a landamrked building, this visual interruption would not meet Standard 2.2. The massing at the heating/storage building is less of a concern given the utilitarian nature of the structure and numerous changes that have occurred at that location. 3. Design and style Additions are generally simple in design and deferantial to the historic buildings. However, details such as the height ot the roof peaks and potential incompatible stone cladding on the first floor may create a visually clashing appearance when placed next to the historic age building, which is clad in destinctive clad …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Application for Certificates of Appropriateness January 7, 2026 PR-2025-144142 Rogers Washington Holy Cross Historic District 2406 East Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard 5 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1957 contributing building. Architecture The property is a single story ranch house with a corner inset carport. There is a stone clad skirt around the perimeter of the front façade, with the remainder of the walls clad with horizontal wood siding. There are two sets of paired windows at the front, but it is not certain if the units are replacements. The roof is a shallow pitched side gable form. Design Standards 9.0 Demolition and Relocation 9.1: Do not demolish a contributing building unless the structure is a threat to the safety of the public and/or cannot reasonably be rehabilitated either structurally or economically. An building inspection report has been included with this demolition application. It indicates where there has been deterioration at the property after some years of neglect. However, questions remain as to whether these issues reach the point of structural failure and meet the level of threat to public safety as written into the district design standards. Staff Recommendation Postpone the application to the February 4, 2026 meeting. Location Map 5 – 2 Property Information Photos 5 – 3 Demolition application, 2025 5 – 4 Aerial imagery, 1958 (top), and 1965 (bottom): note the building at 2406 E Martin Luther King Blvd (then 19th St.) at the left of the block between Maple Ave. and Cedar Ave. in the 1958 image.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Application for Certificates of Appropriateness January 7, 2026 SB-2025-158077 Red River International House 3805 Red River Street 6 – 1 Proposal Construct a sign at a City of Austin landmark. Design Standards The City of Austin Signage Guidelines are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1. Number of signs One sign is proposed at the corner of the lot. Historic sign guidelines allow for one sign per street frontage for properties located on a corner lot. 2. Sign types Freestanding signs are allowable for office/retail use in historic residential buildings, which is applicable for this property. 3. Sign size Current historic signage guidelines do not address size of freestanding signs. However, the size and scale of this proposal does not overwhelm the historic structure, nor does it limit views of neighboring properties. 4. Sign design, coloring and materials Simple shapes and materials are proposed for this sign. Coloring is limited to three colors, and is heavily influenced by the color and design of the landmarked building. 5. Lettering Proposed lettering is limited to two typefaces, and neither is too contemporary in design. 7. Neon signs Proposal calls for neon illumination which, while never present at this propserty when used as a residence, was frequently used in similarly designed buildings. The applicant presentation speaks to the influence of southern Florida Moderne architecture that was favored by the original owners and used by the architect of the Red River International House. In this limited context, the use of neon at the site, held as far from the house as possible, is approvable given the architecture of the landmark and the period in which it was built. 8. Sign placement Sign is to be located close to the street corner, which is as far from the main house as possible. The design elements described above allow for passersby to identify the sign with the landmark, but the sign does not visually interfere with sightlines or obscure the building in any way. The projecting front yard makes this an ideal place for s sign for maximum visibility from automobile and foot traffic while not detracting from the landmarked building. 9. Sign mounting The sign is standalone in design and will not need to be anchored to any historic material in any way. Summary The project meets the applicable standards. Committee Feedback …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Permits in National Register Historic Districts January 7, 2026 PR-2025-103903 Old West Austin National Register Historic District 1513 Murray Lane 13 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1927 contributing building. ARCHITECTURE Two-story stucco building with irregular roofline and fenestration. Its covered porch still displays Craftsman detailing, though the building has been altered. RESEARCH The house at 1513 Murray Lane, originally addressed as 1313 Murray Lane, was constructed around 1927. Though it was home to several prominent Austin businesspeople, including Edgar Perry, Jr. and Marjorie Wendlandt, most of its owners resided in the home for only a short time. Its longest-term owner-occupant, Mrs. Emilie Ebeling, was the daughter of New Braunfels mayor Adolph Giesecke. She moved to Austin after the death of her husband, Marble Falls banker and farmer Otto Ebeling. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Old West Austin National Register Historic District. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate to low integrity. Significant alterations were constructed between 2008 and 2012. 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 but has been too altered to convey significance. 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, then relocation over demolition, but approve the demolition permit application upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package. Demolition permits in National Register Historic Districts may not be pulled until the Historic Landmark Commission has reviewed plans for new construction.

8 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Permits in National Register Historic Districts January 7, 2026 PR-2025-143402; HR-2025-157653 Travis Heights-Fairview Park Historic District 811 East Riverside Drive Proposal Remodel a ca. 1918 residence and construct outdoor amenities. Project Specifications 1) Remodel existing residence, including alteration of street facing exterior walls. 2) Construct detached carport at side of building. 3) Construct an in-ground pool at backyard. 4) Relocate existing shed on property. Architecture The propoerty is Craftsman style bungalow that features a broad, wraparound porch supported by four sets of three wood posts. The front gable is clad in decorative wood and features several brackets. The house is set withing the porch and features several large windows, which appear to be original. Research Built sometime around 1918, the house at 811 East Riverside was first owned by Olin & Cordia Jackson, who worked as a bookkeeper and notary in the city. At the time, there were few residences built on this section of East Riverside, but it became more populated by 1922, when Arthur & Mary Yarrington bought the property. Arthur Yarrington worked as a merchant and salesman throughout the Central Texas region, and the two raised their children at the address until Arthur’s passing around 1950, and Mary’s passing in 1954. The house stayed in their name for a few years, before being owned by Josephine Pace, a widow. 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: Repair and alterations 1. General standards At all elevations, several windows and exterior material is proposed to be removed, all of which appears to be original to the house. Infill windows and alterations appear to be very modern in appearance. This is not in keeping with Standard 1.1 and 1.2. 2. Foundations Elevated foundation will be repaired as needed, but retained in its current location. 3. Roofs Roof will be replaced with what appears to be a standing seam metal roof, which will be in the existing orientation and pitch (with the exception of the additions described below). 4. Exterior walls and trim Several new openings, especially on the streetfacing north and east facades, will result in the loss of original wall material. Elevation drawings of existing facades have not been provided …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Permits in National Register Historic Districts January 7, 2026 PR-2025-144889; HR-2025-155496 Old West Austin Historic District 2310 Windsor Road 9 – 1 Proposal Remodel and construct an addition to a ca. 1929 contributing house and ca. 1930 contributing garage apartment. Construct new driveway and site walls. Project Specifications 1. Enclose existing porte-cochere at the east elevation with multi-light steel glazed units. 2. Construct an addition at the west elevation clad in fiber cement lap siding and masonry, with single-light fixed and casement windows. 3. Replace posts and balusters at 2nd- and 3rd-floor balcony guardrails to match existing. 4. Repair and repaint existing trim and columns. 5. Replace existing 3rd-floor dormers, moving the main balcony access to the enlarged central dormer and adding a fully glazed door. 6. Construct a wood-framed screened porch at the rear elevation, connecting the main house to the existing garage apartment.

Architecture This two-story residence was constructed in the Classical Revival style, with a symmetrical front façade featuring a two story curved porch portico at the centered main entry. Five bays of windows are present at this frontage, and the side gabled roof features three gabled windows, one of which accesses a porch above the portico. The walls are clad in brick and the exterior of the hosue is largely in good condition, though some alterations have been made since its original construction, including a porte-cochere to the north side. Research The property was associated with Claude and Julia Pollard, who first occupied the residence from its construction in 1929. Claude Pollard served as Attorney General of Texas from 1927-1929 before resigning to serve as counsel to the Railway General Managers’ Association of Texas. The couple lived at the address with their family until at least 1942, when Alyce Reed, widow of …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Permits in National Register Historic Districts January 7, 2026 PR-2025-155021 West Line Historic District 1505 West 13th Street 12 – 1 Proposal Construct a two-unit residence. 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 Setbacks generally match surrounding buildings in the district, expecially other multifamily structures. This is true of both the West 13th Street and Elm Street setbacks. 2. Orientation Both units in the building are oriented towards West 13th Street, which is appropriate for the size of the building and similar to surrounding properties. 3. Scale, massing, and height While the majority of the historic district consists of single-family houses, which are typically one-story in height, this portion of the district has several larger apartments buildings which are two or three stories in height. In this context, the scale, massing, and height of the proposed construction fits in well and reads as more compact than several of its neighbors. 4. Proportions Like the section above, the proportions of the proposed duplex are similar to its multi-unit neighbors and will not look out of place given this context. 5. Design and style The design of the proposed duplex is very modern in the way its materials are used, but the materials themselves are appropriate for the district. Use of brick for the majority of the exterior, along with appropriate fenestration patterns, allow the building to be read from the street as residences that open up towards the public rights-of-way. Some corners are proposed to have curved walls, which aren’t common in the district, but they are restrained in their size and do not overwhelm the overall design. 6. Roofs Flat roofs are proposed, which, like sections described above, are appropriate given the nearby two/three story apartment buildings immediately next to the property. If this application were to propose a single-family house with a flat roof, it may read as too modern for the district, but the horizontality of the multi-unit construction makes a flat roof more visually appropriate. 7. Exterior walls Brick is proposed to cover the vast majority of exterior elevations, which is not uncommon in the district’s detached houses, but is typically of multi-family buildings in the …
