HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS APRIL 2, 2025 PR-2025-142715; GF-2025-030365 HOUSE PARK 1301 SHOAL CREEK BOULEVARD 14 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Repair grandstands, make ADA improvements, and replace non-original press box at a ca.1936-39 playing field. 1) Repair failing concrete structural supports at east and west grandstands. 2) Repaint existing grandstands and walls at currently painted surfaces only. 3) Replace existing ramps at east and west grandstands with new ADA-compliant ramps in same location. 4) Demolish existing non-original press boxes (ca. 1960s; remodeled 1986) at east and west grandstands and construct a replacement freestanding press box at the east grandstand. The proposed press box is two stories in height, with a flat roof and vertical siding. Full-height fixed windows look onto the field, and a three-story staircase structure provides egress. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS The existing press boxes are one-story structures with board-and-batten siding and shed roofs, attached to the east and west grandstands. House Park, originally a pasture donated to the City in 1903 by Colonel Edward House, made its official debut as the home of the Austin High Maroons in the 1930s after being used as baseball and football fields for decades. The grandstands, field house (now demolished) and ticket booth were constructed between 1936 and 19401 as part of a larger PWA-funded project initiated by AISD2, and the scoreboard and north grandstand (demolished) followed in 1947.3 The House Park grandstand and ticket booth were designed by Giesecke & Harris and built by J. R. Blackmore and Sons.4 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 potential historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Institutional buildings 1.1 Ensure that the building’s historic character is preserved through careful repair and maintenance of historic materials. The proposed project includes repair and maintenance of historic concrete elements. 1.2 Additions to an institutional building may not be appropriate. The proposed new press box addition appears somewhat appropriate but may overwhelm the smaller-scale grandstands. 1.3 Locate additions to be subordinate to the historic building, keeping in mind that all sides of an institutional building may be significant. See 1.2. The size and scale of the new grandstand should be carefully considered to avoid excessive visibility, as the existing press boxes are unobtrusive in design and small in scale. …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS APRIL 2, 2025 PR-2025-025231; GF-2025-027260 6004 SPANCREEK CIRCLE X – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1961 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH 6004 Spancreek Circle is a one-story residence constructed with Mid-century Modern and Ranch stylistic influences. It is clad in board-and-batten siding and is capped with a low-slope roof with an irregular roofline and deep eaves supported by exposed rafter tails. An original attached carport has been enclosed, though its flat-roofed form remains the same, and though some original windows appear to have been replaced by incompatible vinyl units, the openings appear unaltered. The house at 6004 Spancreek Circle was constructed in 1961 by builder Lloyd McLean for the 1961 Parade of Homes. In her National Register nomination for another Northwest Hills model home, Karen Twer discusses the importance of the Parade of Homes in Austin’s development history: By building model houses for events like the Parade of Homes, builders and developers could highlight the attractive and livable qualities of their volume-built houses and market new suburban developments to masses of potential homebuyers. As a kind of conceptual show window, their model houses needed to be centrally located…Not bounded by the existing urban landscape, developers could create the kind of neighborhoods second-time middle-class homebuyers were seeking. By hosting Parade of Homes events in outlying areas of growing cities, developers and builders were influential in shaping the suburban development of expanding cities like Austin. […] Builders and developers relied on architects to design the kind of distinctive houses that would rival custom-built houses…Model houses built for the Parade of Homes were collaborative interpretations of the kind of modern domestic lifestyle homebuyers dreamt of…In the 1960s, [Austin’s] Parade of Homes events continued focusing on largely undeveloped areas south and northwest of the city. In 1961, it was in Highland Hills, a neighborhood nestled between what is today the Mopac Expressway and Northwest Hills…In addition to the spectacle the events provided Austinites, Austin builders and developers understood the mass-marketing opportunity the Parade of Homes offered.1 “Perched near the crest of a scenic Northwest hill, on a level, landscaped homesite…nothing quite like it has been seen in Austin before, because it is a practical product of fertile imagination and skilled homebuilding,” extols the Austin-American Statesman. “Every room at 6004 Spancreek Circle is a dream of tomorrow that’s here today.”2 Despite its glowing reputation, the home’s first occupants, Cynthia and …

5450 Bee Caves Rd. Ste. 4B Austin, TX 78746 To whom it may concern, Opinion- The structure/house located at 2307 Bridle Path has multiple poorly executed additions. There is visible evidence of foundation deficiencies along with visible evidence of termite infestation. The siding on the front of the house is not original and has been replaced with Hardie cement siding. There have been many changes to the original house that are not congruent with the original architecture. It would be cost prohibitive to save this structure in its current condition.

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. 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. Please consider our position in your decision process as we welcome new development while struggling to maintain the essence of our neighborhood. Sincerely, Steve Amos OWANA Chair
