As you know, Edward Rendon, the long-time resident and owner was a civic activist and stone mason who did the stonework on the home. An uncounted number of neighborhood meetings took place at the house addressing the needs, concerns, and interests of East Austin residents. Edward Rendon Park on Lake Ladybird is named after him. And this is just a brief recollection that scratches the surface of a life lived in service of the East Austin community. It is critically important that the history of our neighborhood, it’s stories and it’s people are preserved and shared especially at a time when development is rapidly changing the face of East Austin. We hope that you join us in support of Historic Designation for La Casa Rendon. Sincerely, Susan Benz Chair East Cesar Chavez Neighborhood Planning Team CC: Hon.
