Historic Landmark Commission, We are writing to you in support of the current house at 1703 Alameda Dr should be demolished. We have lived on Alameda Dr. for 10 years, and that house has been falling into more and more disrepair. We would happily see it go, but like to see a new build that preserves the character of Travis Heights. Sincerely, Amy and Craig Rochette 1707 Alameda Dr.

This house has been neglected and in terrible shape for a decade. It has water stains on the ceiling and the walls, some parts of the walls are being held together by duct tape, and there is one area in the back bedroom where you can see through the walls to the outside. The house at best is going to harbor rodents and other urban wildlife if it doesn’t already. Please approve the demolition. Janice Lowry 1710 Alameda Dr Austin, 78704 Sent from my iPhone 1

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JUNE 4, 2025 PR-2024-159632; GF-2024-161879 WEST LINE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 705 WEST LYNN STREET 9.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1895 house. ARCHITECTURE The house located at 705 West Lynn Street is a single-story, center passage house with a side gabled roof set at a moderate- to-high pitch. The single front door is centered on the house with one 2/2 window on either side. There is a front porch that extends across the entirety of the front façade, supported by four columns. Due to the elevation of the site, the porch sits nearly at grade towards the front of the lot, but at the rear of the property is a full height unconditioned crawlspace or basement. While the footprint of the building may read as a simple rectangular center hall design, the rear extends further back into the lot, including an enclosed porch. There is also a small frame shed on the site, which is also proposed to be demolished. The shed is not mentioned in the West Line National Register nomination. RESEARCH From its construction around 1895 until 1962, the property was owned by the Quick family. John Quick, a carpenter originally from Sweden, was the first listed owner, and later married a woman named Helen, who was also a first-generation Swedish immigrant. Newspaper records indicate that Helen’s sister immigrated to Texas around 1893, though it is unknown whether the sisters arrived together or separately. The Quicks were involved with the local Methodist Church, with the address on West Lynn hosting a circle of the Women’s Society of Christian Service. John Quick died of natural causes in 1945, and Helen occupied the house until her passing in 1962 at the age of 91. The house was left unoccupied for several years after, but by the 1970s, it was occupied by renters. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the West Line National Register district, and the nomination further lists the property as eligible for individual listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high-to-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: a. Architecture. The building is a good example of a center-passage …

Steering Committee Members: Steve Amos, Chair Renae Alsobrook, Mark Ashby, Evelyn Fujimoto, Adrienne Goldsberry, Paula Hern, Nick Mehl, William Osborn, Charlie Rice, Paul Shattuck, Shawn Shillington, Erika Tatum, Meghan Yancy February 3, 2025 RE: 705 West Lynn - PR-2024-159632; GF-2024-161879 Dear Chair Heimsath and HLC Commissioners, Old West Austin Neighborhood Association, OWANA, supports retaining contributing structures in our historic district and integrating existing building forms into the overall project for new development. In the case of 705 West Lynn, preserving the façade and front rooms of the existing house and adding on to the structure would have a significant impact toward that goal. The applicant met with the OWANA zoning committee and we suggested these two options for maximizing the square footage for two living units: 1. Add a second floor to a garage structure. 2. Remove a portion or all of the heritage tree on the lot to allow for a second unit. This particular case is one that is to decide on keeping a heritage tree or a contributing structure. OWANA will support the position of keeping the contributing structure. We hope that HLC can also recommend keeping the structure. We are aware that the city tree ordinance regarding heritage trees is very strict, it seems to us in this case that if both OWANA and the HLC supports this position there is the possibility of the city arborist accepting this solution. The potential Owner in today’s meeting said that he could keep the first 15 ft of the house and make the project work if the heritage tree in the back of the lot could be removed. The tree is so close to the rear structure that it might be damaged during construction. It could be the case that some mitigation is require to offset this lost. The United States Department of the Interior National Park Service Report “NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES REGISTRATION FORM” lists 705 West Lynn as a representative property to illustrate “the broad patterns of development, diverse range of resources, and salient features of the dominant types and styles present in the district. They have been selected on the basis of their geographic distribution, relationship to similar properties, and degree of integrity.” Listed as a contributing structure, 705 West Lynn is a Center-passage, Side Gable Classical Revival style, and individually eligible for National Register listing.

09.5 - 705 West Lynn St - OWANA Letter - March 2025 — original pdf

Steering Committee Members: Steve Amos, Chair Renae Alsobrook, Mark Ashby, Evelyn Fujimoto, Adrienne Goldsberry, Paula Hern, Nick Mehl, William Osborn, Charlie Rice, Paul Shattuck, Shawn Shillington, Erika Tatum, Meghan Yancy March 28, 2025 RE: 705 West Lynn - PR-2024-159632; GF-2024-161879 Dear Chair Heimsath and HLC Commissioners, Old West Austin Neighborhood Association, OWANA, supports retaining contributing structures in our historic district and integrating existing building forms into the overall project for new development. In the case of 705 West Lynn, preserving the façade and front rooms of the existing house and adding on to the structure would have a significant impact toward that goal. We support the HLC’s Architectural Review Committee’s recommended exploration in elevation and section of a second story at the rear of the front housing unit and exploring the possibility of widening the proposed rear parking structure to add desired interior floor area. The applicant has not meet with the OWANA with any updated elevations and sections and it is difficult to support demolition of a contributing structure without seeing more descriptive two dimensional drawings of how successful the massing would be with an addition to the original structure. Rehabilitation, remodel and addition to contributing structures in our historic district versus demolition maintains the vitality of the district. If piecemeal destruction of these historic homes continues, our district will cease to exist and its sense of historic narrative and charm will no longer be visible. This devalues our unique pocket of history in an increasingly dynamic city. Let’s continue to respect and appreciate the reason so many people want to live in our neighborhood.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JUNE 4, 2025 HR-2025-042102 WEST LINE HISTORIC DISTRICT 1108 ELM STREET 10.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Stabilize exterior walls, renovate the interior, and construct a glass enclosure and small second floor expansion. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Remove original exterior stone cladding and retain it to be replaced in the same locations. Stabilize structure to prevent further foundation issues and general cracking and splitting of the masonry walls and joints. Expand second floor space to include a dormer window incorporated into the existing roof slope for an expanded conditioned footprint. Remodel interior room sizes and layout. Construct an enclosed glass conservatory at the front right corner of the house and enclose a portion of the covered porch in a glass wall. Rebuild stone walls and repoint joints with a sacrificial mortar not stronger than the stone. ARCHITECTURE Described in the West Line National Register district nomination as having Romanesque Revival stylistic influence, the residence features a wide front gabled roof that dominated the street facing elevation. A recessed porch is present at one half of this façade, which is located behind two masonry arches and a thick corner support which creates a level on enclosure that is not common to other front porches in the district. The white-tan stone veneer present at all sides of the house is also unique to the area, and was constructed by the original owner, who was a stonemason. A large window in the front gable indicates that the second floor is inhabited space, but the overall house does not read as vertical as a result. RESEARCH Constructed around 1925, the property was owner occupied for its first several decades. Newspaper records indicate that, by 1963, the newlywed couple of Edward Dill Jr. and Gloria Dianne Hines moved into the address. 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 Exterior wall masonry is proposed to be removed, cleaned, repaired, and reinstalled in keeping with best preservation practices. 2. Foundations Foundation repair details have not yet been fully disclosed pending investigation. However, the application indicates that the goal is to be stabilization for the exterior walls to be rebuilt as they originally were. …

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish a side porch of unknown age 2) Demolish an existing non-historic rear addition 3) Construct a new two-story addition at rear of property in similar location as previous addition ARCHITECTURE This single-story bungalow in the Old West Austin historic district features Tudor Revival elements including a steep gable over the front entryway and walls clad in multicolored warm tone brick. The steep gable covers a front brick porch that leads to the front door. A paired window is also present at the front elevation, and to the left is a screened porch of undetermined age. The roof is a front gabled assembly with attic vents. RESEARCH This property had several owners in the decades from its original construction who lived at the address for several years each. Most notable were Ira & Elizabeth Davis, the former of whom worked at Southwestern Bell Telephone Company, and Zollie & Vivian Rochelle, who were involved in the community and donated heavily to the St. Ignatius Church in the city. Zollie Rochelle worked as an insurance salesman at this time. 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 additions 1. Location Location is at the rear of the property. It will be visible from the street at one side, behind the location of the existing porch. 2. Scale, massing, and height The addition is proposed to be two stories, which is taller than neighboring structures, but not out of place in the district. It is a relatively narrow mass, which exaggerates the verticality of the addition. 3. Design and style There is little stylistic embellishment to the addition, which results in a design that does not overwhelm the existing front house. 4. Roofs The roof is proposed to be hipped and set at the same pitch as the main house roof. This will maintain some visual consistency from the original structure but will also reduce visibility, especially given the height of the two-story addition. 5. Exterior walls Addition is proposed to be …

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish a non-historic rear addition and metal carport. Construct a new two-story addition in generally the same footprint. Construct a new covered carport that is tied into the front house. ARCHITECTURE The symmetrical single-story house features a front porch that extends across the entirety of the street facing elevation and is covered by a roof supported by six wood posts. The porch is constructed of brick and is slightly above grade. The front wall features a door at the center with a woodwork surround, including pilasters and dentil decorative elements. On each side of the door are two large 6-over-6 windows with functional shutters. The walls are all clad in painted wood siding. Above, the side gabled roof is set at a moderate pitch and features a chimney at one side. To the left of the house is a driveway that is partially covered by a standalone metal carport. RESEARCH Not much is known about early owners of the house, but a Mr. Elbert Strickel lived at the address for much of the 1940s in the 1950s, and at one point had a maid living at the address. 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 additions 1. Location New addition is proposed at the rear of the property, in the location of an existing addition, which is proposed to be demolished. 2. Scale, massing, and height The addition is proposed to be two stories, and the ridgeline of the roof will extend above the existing side gable of the main house. However, this will be set far back from the street and won’t likely be visible from the street. 3. Design and style The building form of the addition is largely compatible with the main house, and will feature dormers, gabled roofs, and fenestration what, while not matching with the original house, will be in keeping with the character. 4. Roofs Gable roofs are proposed with orientations mostly facing the front and rear of the property. The main gable is proposed to tie into the …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JUNE 4, 2025 HR-2025-057111 WEST LINE HISTORIC DISTRICT 1107 EASON STREET 13.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct three residential units. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct three units through the HOME incentive on the site of a previously non-contributing resource to the National Register district. All three units will be two stories with accessible roof decks. Two of the units will be side-by-side and face Eason Street, with the third to the rear. RESEARCH Not much is known about the original inhabitants of the property at 1107 Eason Street. There is record of a Sidney Ralph Jeffers, associated with this address, who graduated from the University of Texas in 1949, shortly after the first house on the site was constructed. 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 front two units will be placed much closer to the street than the previous house, but they will be generally in line with neighboring setbacks. The rear unit will face the alley behind the property 2. Orientation Each of the front units will have their short sides facing the street, which is not typical of the surrounding area. However, when paired, the orientation of both will look closer in appearance to the surrounding properties. 3. Scale, massing, and height Two narrow, two-story housing units are not in keeping with the scale, massing, and height of their neighbors. However, the design has been altered to reduce the verticality of the original plans. The footprints and exterior design of the two front units are generally the same but rotated 180 degrees from one another. 4. Proportions The two-story residences have proportions that are much more vertical than surrounding properties. 5. Design and style As a side-by-side duplex, each two stories tall with additional roof decks, the style of the front building is not in keeping with surrounding houses. However, other highly modern designs have been approved in historic districts. Standard 5.4 calls for modern styles to use modern architecture details, which is true here. There is no likelihood of this design to be confused with anything historic. 6. Roofs The combined roofs of the two front units form a front gable …
