August 20, 2026 Historic Preservation Office City of Austin, Texas preservation@austintexas.gov RE: Condition of Existing Masonry at 1614 Preston Avenue, Austin, Texas 78703 Mr. Lukes and Members of the Historic Landmark Commission, I am the general contractor for the proposed renovation and second-story addition at 1614 Preston Avenue. I have over 20 years of experience in residential construction in Austin and Central Texas, including work on homes of this era, and with the kinds of masonry challenges present at 1614 Preston. This letter details my professional assessment of the condition of the existing masonry, the origin of the present issues, and my recommendation. On the structural questions, I have relied on the concurring opinion of the project’s structural engineer, Bradley Shaw. The existing stone masonry at 1614 Preston does not extend around the building. The stone is present on the front and along a little more than half of the left side. The remaining walls are not stone- clad. In my assessment, significant portions of this masonry do not appear original to the 1939 structure. This is most apparent at the chimney and along the Jefferson Street side. This conclusion is based on the variation in the stone’s cut and color, differences in coursing and mortar, and the way the stonework terminates, particularly at and around the chimney and the earlier addition area. These observations are consistent with the property’s other evidence of prior additions, as well as the structural engineer’s findings. The existing masonry is deteriorating and cannot be reliably stabilized. I observe cracking and displacement within the stonework, failed mortar joints, and clear evidence of chronic moisture intrusion. This evidence includes staining, dampness, and heavy biofilm growth in areas that appear to remain persistently wet rather than occasionally damp. The concentration of biofilm at grade and across the lower half of the wall is consistent with water collecting and remaining at the base of the wall, from ground contact, splashback, and the lack of appropriate base flashing. At the chimney, the biofilm marks sustained water entry at a junction that is a common source of leaks. Mortar loss and stone decay are most advanced in these same areas. In my experience, the cause is most often the manner of construction. A masonry wall always takes on some water. Without sufficient weather-resistive barriers, drainage cavities, flashing, or weep systems, water is held against the back of the stone and …

2 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION August 5, 2026 Briefing: Demolition Permit Applications for Property Owned by Religious Organizations 1906-1908 Nueces Street Purpose Texas Local Government Code § 211.0165 provides municipal authority for historic landmark designation. In 2019, the Texas Legislature amended that authority through House Bill 2496, 86 (R). In addition to introducing a supermajority requirement for landmark designation over owner objection, the bill mandated that property owned by a religious organization may not be designated without owner consent. Per the attached 2021 memo to the Historic Landmark Commission, to comply with city code and state law, the Historic Preservation Office must administratively approve all applications for the demolition or relocation of a building owned by a religious organization without first scheduling a hearing at the Historic Landmark Commission. At Regular Meetings, as necessary, staff provide the Commission with a briefing regarding any such action taken since the prior Commission meeting. Prior Action The two properties located at 1906 and 1908 Nueces Street, owned by a religious organization, were approved for demolition on July 16, 2026. The structure at 1906 Nueces St. was constructed in 1930, and the structure at 1908 Nueces St. was constructed in 1918. At both properties, total demolition of the structures are proposed.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificate of Appropriateness August 5, 2026 PR-2026-008188; GF-2026-025308 Robertson/Stuart & Mair Historic District 1005 East 8th Street 4 – 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 September 14, 2026. Property Evaluation The property contributes to the Robertson/Stuart & Mair Historic District. Staff Recommendation Consider backup provided to determine need for total demolition versus opportunity for partial demolition or repair to the damaged existing structure. If more information or discussion is needed, postpone the public hearing to the September 2, 2026 Historic Landmark Commission meeting. 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 4 – 2 Property Information Photos 4 – 3 Texas Historical Commission, photograph, May 29, 1975.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificate of Appropriateness August 5, 2026 HR-2026-090085 Hyde Park Historic District 4412 Avenue B 5 – 1 Proposal Rehabilitate a National Register-listed property and construct a rear addition. Project Specifications 1) Repair and restore historic materials dating from or around original construction, including windows, siding, porches, and interior features. 2) Insulate the exterior walls by removing siding, installing insulation and a vapor barrier, then reinstalling the original siding. Where material is deteriorated, patching will occur with new material installed in least visible locations. 3) Construct an addition at the rear of the property, to be tied into the area of the structure historically used for services and back-of-house space. Architecture Constructed shortly before 1900, the two-story residence sits prominently on what was one of the rear blocks of the Hyde Park development. It features a visually octagonal front room that projects forward from one end towards the street, which is capped with a steep roof punctuated by several triangular gables decorated with ornamented flashing and millwork. Along most of the front of both the first and second floors, porches are present that once wrapped around the side of the house, which have since seen their sides enclosed. A steep metal roof above the second floor creates a prominent, tall structure that was very visible when it was first constructed, now settled in around neighboring trees and other structures. Research The property was constructed by Frank Taylor and Belle Ramsey, who lived there for almost 40 years. At this time, Frank Ramsey ran a horticulture business, where numerous cultivars of peaches, plums, and apples were grown and developed, both in greenhouses to the south of the property as well as in fields to the north, across what is today West 45th Street. Throughout their ownership, the Frank Ramsey gained notoriety across Texas and was referred to in newspapers as “the most widely known nurseryman of the Lone Star State.” After their deaths, the property stayed in the family for another ten years before being sold to Fred & Birdie Sturdivant, who were involved in the local dairy business. Design Standards The Hyde Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1. General Standards 1.1 Prevention of Demolition The proposed work will retain the overall structure and vast majority of historic material present at the …
