HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS MARCH 5, 2025 DA 2024-165526; GF-2024-165917 2600 EAST MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. BOULEVARD 15 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Demolish a ca. 1972 auxiliary hospital building to construct a new mixed-use development. The Capital Area Research and Radiation Center building is a one-story Mid-century Modern health service facility designed by Page, Southerland, and Page and constructed by J. C. Evans Co. The building is horizontally oriented, with a dramatic carport extension at the Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard elevation and a largely windowless street presence. It is concrete with applied stucco. Concrete walls seven feet thick and ceilings four feet thick were engineered to shield physicians and technicians from the radiation equipment within. Holy Cross Hospital, the first hospital to allow Black doctors in Austin, was originally constructed on East 11th Street in 1940 to address the burgeoning disparity in care between black and white hospitals in segregation-era Austin. It was relocated to East 19th Street—now Martin Luther King, Jr., Boulevard—in 1951. The new hospital was designed by Charles Henry Page, who would later help to found Page, Southerland, and Page.1 Though the main hospital was demolished in 1991 and replaced by Campbell Elementary School, its site received a Texas Historical Commission marker in 2021, an effort spearheaded by historian and Rogers-Washington-Holy Cross resident Berri McBride. “At the time,” recounts McBride in an interview with WhatOnceWas.org, “it was the only major hospital where African Americans could receive medical services that were affordable. But at the same time, the services provided by the hospital were complete, they were thorough, and they were first rate provided by superb doctors, including African American doctors.”2 As desegregation slowly took hold in the city, Holy Cross further distinguished itself as a progressive establishment by earning grants for new hospital buildings, innovative treatments, and cutting-edge equipment. In 1965, Page, Southerland, and Page designed the hospital’s iconic five-story circular nursing facility. The separate cancer center, operated by the Capital Area Research and Radiation Foundation and also designed by Page, was approved for installation five years later following the approval of federal funding for a regional radiation facility in Austin. The new cancer center, first called the Regional Research and Radiation Center and then renamed Capital Area Research and Radiation Center, was selected to house Central Texas’s first cobalt-60 radiotherapy device and a linear accelerator designed to treat deep tumors with …

Drenner Group met with our neighborhood on Monday, February 3rd at 1:30 pm. Our neighborhood sent over a list of pre-demolition items before the meeting that would have addressed concerns for preserving our historic district from potential hazards due to the demolition of the current structure and development of the newly proposed one. Drenner Group told us most items could not be addressed by them but all parties did agree to working on a restrictive covenant that would support our neighborhood. Drenner group also agreed to send a list of items for us to review and our neighborhood kindly requests to receive these items no later than 4 pm today so that we have time to discuss them. Given the compressed timeline, our neighborhood would like to request a postponement of the demolition permit application to allow for further discussions and negotiation of the restrictive covenant details with the Drenner Group. Our neighborhood is not against the development of this property but we are concerned about possible contamination (radiation, groundwater pollution), flooding, and an …

From: To: Subject: Date: Historic Preservation Office Against Review Case DA 24-165526 Monday, December 30, 2024 2:14:19 PM You don't often get email from . Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Dear Sam Fahnestock, I am writing to submit comments for the Historic Landmark Commission, regarding Review Case DA 24-165526 for the commission's consideration in advance of the January 8, 2025 meeting when this case will be discussed. I am a resident living within 500 feet of 2600 E. MLK Jr Blvd., which is the subject of DA 24-165526. I am AGAINST the proposed demolition of this building, which is the last surviving structure associated with the Holy Cross Hospital, the city’s first hospital for Black patients that was recently granted a historical marker through the Texas Historic Commission's Undertold Markers program (https://austin.towers.net/marking-the-medical-history-of-east-austin-at-holy-cross- hospital/). Preservation of this structure would honor the significant cultural history that it represents, while also building on the efforts of the immediately adjacent Rogers Washington Holy Cross Historic District in demonstrating the determination and success of the African American community in Austin. I am also concerned about broader plans for the development of this property following demolition, as this permit is one part of a proposal that involves converting the property from civic to mixed use zoning, including density bonuses (Zoning case C14-2024-0111 / Plan Amendment case NPA-2024-0008.01). The preservation of this structure would maintain a street-facing scale and style that is compatible with and complimentary to the adjacent historic residential neighborhoods, as well as other historically significant structures along this stretch of MLK, including David Chapel Missionary Baptist Church, the Della Phillips House, and Fuller-Sheffield Funeral Home--all located less than 500 feet on either side of the property, and characterized by horizontal massing and low slung roofs similar to the style of this structure. Maintaining the stylistic features of the surrounding area at this particular, prominent corner is important and meaningful for this community's and our city's identity. Thank you for your attention to these concerns and consideration of protecting this culturally and historically significant structure.

From: To: Subject: Date: Historic Preservation Office Case DA 24-165526 Demolition -Support for Demolition Monday, January 6, 2025 8:29:02 AM You don't often get email from . Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Attn: San Fahnestock I am writing to express my support for the proposed demolition of the property located at 2600 E Martin Luther King. . As a property owner at 2503 E MLK], I believe that the removal of this structure would greatly benefit our community for several reasons: 1. Safety Concerns : The current state of the building poses significant safety risks to the neighborhood. It has become a site for illegal activities, and its dilapidated condition could lead to accidents or injuries. 2. Aesthetic and Property Values : The property detracts from the aesthetic appeal of our neighborhood. Demolition would not only improve the visual environment but potentially increase property values for surrounding homes by removing an eyesore. 3. Urban Development : The demolition would open up opportunities for new development or green space, which could revitalize the area. This could align with broader urban planning goals such as increasing community spaces or supporting new housing projects. 4. Health and Environmental Issues : There might be health hazards associated with the current state of the building, such as mold, pests, or asbestos. Demolition would address these issues, ensuring a healthier environment for residents. 5. Community Sentiment : From discussions within the community, there seems to be a general consensus that this property should be removed. This move would be in line with the community's wishes for a cleaner, safer, and more vibrant neighborhood. Please consider this letter as my formal endorsement for the demolition of the property at 2600 E Martin Luther King Jr. BLVD. I would appreciate being kept informed about the decision and any public meetings where this matter will be discussed. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to seeing positive changes in our community. Sincerely, Lynn Morris Lynden Communities LLC 512-698-2129 CAUTION: This is an EXTERNAL email.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS MARCH 5, 2025 PR-2024-008236 4901 RIDGE OAK DRIVE 16.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1951 house. ARCHITECTURE Believed to have been designed by Austin architect Barton Riley1, the house at 4901 Ridge Oak Drive was constructed around 1951 for Edgar Perry III, grandson of Edgar Howard “Commodore” Perry. The single-story house is set on a triangular parcel that slopes towards the east, offering an optimal view of downtown. Clad in a combination white stone, concrete, and vertical wood siding, the house emphasizes its horizontality with two long wings in an L-shape. The north side of the lot features a driveway that curves around the house and terminates at a carport. There is an entry to the kitchen in this location, indicating that the doorway in the middle of the house, facing Ridge Oak Drive and opening onto the foyer and living room of the house, was designed to be the main entry. Arranging two doors in this way indicates that the automobile entry may have been seen as more of a service entry. The longer of the two wings extends to the north and includes living areas and bedrooms and features a rear door from the dining room to a broad deck that provides a view of downtown Austin. It also features ample swimming pool, which abuts a retaining wall. A flat roof covers the entire house, with moderate overhangs on several sides. Fenestration is generally not large but are grouped in several areas to create a ribbon window appearance. At the rear of the house, near the deck, is a large brick chimney that extends above the flat roof by a few feet. From the street, the exterior walls, windows, and doors are weathered but appear to be in fair condition. RESEARCH The Perry family has a long history in Austin that stretches across the city, both architecturally and civically. The house at 4901 Ridge Oak Drive was constructed for Edgar and Kathleen Perry to live in after their 1951 marriage and was completed when Edgar Perry III was in his early 20s. In the short years after their moving in, Edgar was involved in several family business ventures, including Southwest Ledge Stone Company, Terminix Termite Control, and, most recently, the Perry Manufacturing Company, which produced plastics and other newly developed materials for domestic use. He also became involved in, and …

T.B.P.E. Registration # F-9361 February 26, 2025 Mr. Travis Habersaat, Architect Jay Corder Architect 2700 W. Anderson Lane, Suite 309 Austin, TX 78757 RE: Visual Structural Assessment 4901 Ridge Oak Drive Austin, TX 78757 On February 25, 2025, Arch Consulting Engineers PLLC visited the above referenced project to assess the structural condition of the existing house and masonry retaining wall along the property line adjacent to Crestway Drive. Mr. Brad Farris, P.E. of Arch Consulting Engineers PLLC and Mr. Travis Habersaat of Jay Corder Architect were present at the site meeting. A home inspection report prepared by Power Check Inspections, PLLC dated February 21, 2025 was provided for our review. Structural drawings of the existing house were not available. It should be noted that the findings, opinions, and conclusions of this report are based on visual observations only and reflect only the accessible features of the property. Arch Consulting Engineers, PLLC has not performed any testing of the concrete or soils at the site which may or may not reveal defects that are not visible. Structural Systems Description: The existing structure of the single-family residence is a wood framed roof system supported by wood stud framed walls bearing on a concrete foundation. The foundation appears to be a combination of slab on grade and suspended concrete over a crawl space. The roof is flat with little to no slope. The exterior cladding consists of a combination of stone veneer and wood siding. General Evaluation: During the site visit, distress was noted in various locations including exterior stone veneer and interior flooring, walls, and ceilings. The cracking in the finish materials is likely a result of foundation movement. Additionally, there were various locations where the roof appears to be leaking as evidenced by wet spots in sheetrock ceilings and rotted exterior fascias and soffits. Response to Specific Areas of Concern: 1) Foundation Movement As noted above, various cracking at the interior and exterior walls, flooring, and ceilings were seen. Also, in numerous locations the existing soil appears to be higher than the foundation leading to rotten siding and possibly rotten wall framing. The soil should be lowered and graded away from the house to promote rapid drainage away from the house. In areas of rotted siding, the siding should be removed to expose the wall framing and determine the extent of necessary repairs and/or replacement. 2579 Western Trails Blvd. Suite 230 …

17 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS MARCH 5, 2025 PR-2025-011181; GF-2025-013625 932 E. 53RD STREET Demolish a ca. 1925 house and detached garage. PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story Craftsman house with a two-story rear addition constructed in 2001. The house is clad with horizontal wood siding and capped with a cross-gabled roof with deep eaves, exposed rafter tails, and decorative triangular brackets. Though the building is now boarded, 2022 photos appear to show screened 1:1 wood windows throughout the original portion of the house. The house at 932 E. 53rd Street was constructed around 1925 per appraisal district records, though its first occupants appear in City directories in the mid-1930s. Until the 1940s, it was the home of primarily short-term renters, including two carpenters and their families and a salesman. In 1945, the building was purchased by Albert S. and Eva Nooner. They rented it out for four years before moving in in 1949 along with their son, Sam, a Purple Heart recipient who worked as a fireman after returning from the Pacific Theater. Albert Nooner died in 1951 and the house was sold by the remaining family members. Painter R. L. Bozeman and his wife Laverne lived there during the mid-to-late 1950s until it was purchased by Herminia Rodriguez, who raised her family there until her death in 2018. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property is listed as medium priority in the 2020 North Loop-Hancock-Boggy Creek survey. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high integrity. The rear addition does not appear to destroy the building’s character- defining features as a Craftsman bungalow. 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 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 was not evaluated for its ability to 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 …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS MARCH 5, 2025 PR-2025-008862 1310 HASKELL STREET 18.0 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE Demolish three houses, all on one lot and all constructed ca. 1928. Three Craftsman style houses, constructed around 1928, occupy the lot at 1310 Haskell Street. Two of the houses are oriented towards Navasota Street at the side and the front house faces Haskell Street. All three houses are around 800 square feet and are a single-story, built on elevated piers. All three feature front porches that occupy about half the front façade and are covered by simple gables supported by corner posts. All front facades feature two windows and a door, some of which may have been replaced in the past as needed. Siding and roof materials are all in salvageable condition, and some patching has been done as needed. Exposed rafter tails are present at all three units, and there is no sign of ornamental details ever being present. RESEARCH The three houses were each listed for rental upon their construction and were occupied by various renters for at least thirty years. Those who lived there were various tradespeople, drivers, city sanitation workers, and there are several records of children being born and living in the simple houses. Names of residents appeared in local papers mostly for small legal transgressions, such as fighting and minor traffic violations, though numerous birth notices also appeared, with only some corresponding to names listed in city directories. PROPERTY EVALUATION The 2016 East Austin Historic Resource Survey recommends the property, including all three houses on it, as contributing resources to a potential National Register or local historic district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain 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: a. Architecture. The buildings are good examples of simple Craftsman style houses. b. Historical association.

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 …
