19th-century building on Congress Avenue likely to be razed

A 19th-century Congress Avenue building could soon face the wrecking ball after a city commission all but cleared the way for its demolition.
The Austin Historic Landmark Commission agreed Monday night that few original features remain at the two-story building at 901 Congress Ave.
Texas Public Policy Foundation, the conservative think tank that owns the property, can raze the building once the historic commission reviews designs for the new structure.
The foundation intends to build a five-story building to accommodate its burgeoning operation. Proposed designs feature a wraparound porch and an indoor "amphitheater" for forum talks, according to Joshua Treviño, foundation spokesman.
