PROJECT SUMMARY:
Briefly describe your proposed project (150 words or less).
In late 2017, residents of the Hancock Neighborhood came together to form a Local Historic District Committee
under the auspices of the Hancock Neighborhood Association. Our committee’s primary goal is to qualify for
LHD status to help preserve the architectural history and integrity of our neighborhood in the face of continuing
demolitions and threats from new development.
The Hancock Neighborhood is the largest historic, architecturally intact neighborhood in the City of Austin.
Hancock is home to a number of “High Style” mansions, but is also a neighborhood of early 20th century
bungalows and single-family houses and duplexes that together display the full range of nationally popular
architectural styles for suburban homes from the mid-1910s through the 1930s.
Common architectural styles in the neighborhood include: Vernacular houses, Victorian, Eclectic: Prairie
School, Eclectic: Classical Box, Eclectic: Craftsman, Eclectic houses: Period Revivals, Tudor Revival Houses,
Colonial Revival, Spanish Eclectic, Ranch Style, and Monterrey Style homes. More information on the
prominent architectural styles in the neighborhood can be found here:
https://hancocklhd.com/2018/07/09/architectural-styles/
Tip: The strongest proposals will clearly explain how each project helps promote historic preservation activities in Austin
and aligns with the Historic Preservation Office’s mission to “encourage the preservation of Austin’s historic buildings,
structures, sites, and districts; promote awareness of our cultural and architectural heritage; and help shape a more
sustainable, equitable, and livable city in collaboration with other City departments and community partners.”
Submit the completed Letter of Intent to steve.sadowsky@austintexas.gov by _____________. This Letter of
