Another Demolition Approved

At its April 26 meeting, HARC approved a request to demolish these two structures at 307. E. 18th St.

New B&B

A couple from Austin recently purchased this house at the corner of Austin Avenue and 16th Street and plans to open a small (two-room) bed and breakfast in it. At its March 22 meeting, HARC approved the additional use for the property and waived the requirement for additional parking spaces.

Double Demolition

At its March 22 meeting, the Historic and Architectural Review Commission (HARC) considered requests to demolish these two historic houses off W. 13th St. The house at 612 W. 13th St. is one of Georgetown's few remaining "shotgun" houses. Both demolitions were approved since the houses were deemed to be unsalvagable. The property these houses are on is now zoned for office use, so any future construction on these lots will not be residential. Both houses were owned at one time by a woman who was a cook at the former Carver High School.

Another Demolition Request

The Historic and Architectural Review Commission (HARC) considered a request at its March 22 meeting to demolish this house at 415 W. 10th St. The current owners of the property want to replace it with a new single-family residence. HARC approved the demolition of the old house but asked to see plans for the new house modified before they approve them.

Ranch Redo

This ranch house at the corner of Virginia and 16th Streets sat stripped down to the tar paper for several years. Someone has finally come in and finished the restoration. Several nearby ranch houses on Hutto Road have also recently been renovated as well.

Complete Renovation

A local resident recently purchased this house at the corner of College and 15th Streets and is completely renovating it before reselling it.
