New Braunfels City Council approves resolution supporting historic designation for 2 properties

New Braunfels City Council approved a resolution supporting obtaining National Register of Historic Places designation for two properties within Dittlinger Family Residential Historic District on May 11.

The New Braunfels Historic Landmark Commission held a public hearing April 14 and voted unanimously to recommend the resolution to City Council, according to agenda documents.

In a nutshell

The district contains late 19th century and early 20th century resources on two properties—581 W. Coll St. and 372 Magazine Ave.—in the city’s Sophienburg Historic District, according to agenda documents.

The historic-age resources in the area date from around 1895-1925 and are associated with the Dittlinger family. The district was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places for its examples of National Folks, Late Victorian and Early 20th Century Revival architectural design. It was also nominated due to its association with architect James Wahrenberger, agenda documents state.

The item was approved on the consent agenda, and there was no discussion.
