CITY OF AUSTIN HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Old Bakery & Emporium Mural Wall - Written Scope of Work The following scope of work provides information about a new mural on the south-facing wall of the Old Bakery & Artisan Emporium, located at 1006 Congress Avenue. The Old Bakery building is historically designated on the local, state, and federal levels. On the state level, the building is a State Antiquities Landmark and Recorded Texas Historical landmark. Additionally, the building is a City of Austin Landmark and individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a contributing building to the Congress Avenue National Register Historic District. The building was originally built as a Swedish bakery and has housed several uses over the years since its construction in the late-1800s. Currently, the building is home to a gift shop, museum, and artist gallery for artists over the age of 50 and is currently owned and operated by the City of Austin’s Parks and Recreation Department. The south-facing wall of the Old Bakery building was originally built as an interior party wall shared with the adjacent building. After the demolition of the adjacent building in the late-1960s, the limestone rubble masonry wall was stuccoed and painted over with a neutral gold tone. There are no significant or historic architectural elements on the south facade. In the years since the demolition of the adjacent building and the stuccoing of the new exterior wall, a drainpipe, light fixture, and ADA compliant handrail have been mounted to the wall face. Today, the stucco finish is in fair-to-poor condition with many visible cracks and discoloration in the painted surface. There are several unused penetrations and metal hardware in the wall’s surface from previous signage and modifications (see attached images for reference). Per feedback received during a consultation meeting with THC staff on May 22, 2023, the mural will have a minimum five-foot setback from the east-facing wall to maintain a corner visual with the main east elevation of today’s condition. The mural will only be located on the south-facing wall to comply with the City of Austin’s mural guidelines that prohibits murals facing onto the Congress Avenue, which is a National Register Historic District. There is a precedent set for murals on the side walls of buildings within the Congress Avenue National Register Historic District, such as Mexic-Arte’s north-facing Mero Muro Wall located …
