Slated for demolition

An Austin couple has purchased this property at 401 E. 7th St. as well as the adjacent vacant lot at the corner of Elm and 7th Streets. They plan to demolish this house and use both lots to build a new house. HARC approved demolition of this non-historic house at its July 28 meeting.

Coming Soon

Some lucky person was able to obtain this lot at the corner of Walnut and 4th Streets to build a new house in Old Town. Let's hope they build something that fits into Old Town!

Adding On

From my back yard I can see the new addition to this house at the corner of 9th and Ash Streets going up.

Future office space?

After several years of unsuccessfully trying to sell this house at 409 E. University Ave., the owners petitioned the city to change it from residential to office. However, after the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-1 against the rezoning at its June 7 meeting, the owners have indefinitely "pulled" the zoning change request.

Restoration Project

It looks like someone has taken on the challenge of restoring this house at the south end of Olive Street.

Under New Ownership

Someone has taken on the challenge of restoring this house in the 300 block of University. So many of the old houses along University have been lost, it is nice to see one being saved.

Down to the Shell

This house in the 900 block of Walnut Street has sat vacant for several years. Now it appears that renovation work is in full swing. The house has been stripped down to the shell and a new addition and garage are being added.
