TO: Historic Landmark Commission
FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Request for determination of historic significance and approval of demolition of five
single family residential structures, one garage apartment and one apartment house

STAFF REPORT
The Planning Director recommends that the structures be deemed "not historically significant"
and approved for demolition.
These single family residential structures, garage apartment and apartment house are all
located in Block 7, Ogden Addition, adjacent to Ogden Elementary School. These properties
are to be used by BISD for expansion of Ogden School. The City of Beaumont is
cooperating with the school district in this building effort. Due to the use of CDBG funds,
these structures were forwarded to the Texas Historical Commission, whereby they were
deemed eligible for the National Register of Historic Places as part of a potential historic
district. The Texas Historical Commission has determined that these houses are significant
as part of early 20th Century residential fabric.
None of these structures are included in SPARE Beaumont. Research in the City Directory
shows that most of these structures were built in the mid- 1920s.
Because of the apparently sound condition of several of these structures, Planning Staff
asked Sam Pullig for his assistance in seeing about the possibility of moving some of these
structures to different locations. Mr. Pullig made several contacts and some people are
interested in acquiring the better houses and moving them. However, no final decisions have
been made.
Staff recommends that the structures be deemed "not historically significant" and
recommended for demolition. Staff feels that while the loss of some of these structures will
be regrettable, the expansion of Ogden Elementary School will have much more of a positive
impact on the overall preservation of the neighborhood.
