Re: Building at 701 Tassey Street
Round Rock, Texas
Dear Mayor and Councilmembers,
I am unable to attend the public hearing on Thursday, June 15th. Please have
this letter read into the minutes.
I am the current owner of the building at 701 Tassey Street. I do not want to
destroy this building at present, as this building has historical significance
to the black people of Round Rock.
The material used in this building came from the Seed Tick School on Hairy Man
Road when it was demolished. Originally, in 1928, it housed a training school.
During this time E. A. Gay was Superintendent of Schools and E. C. Powell was
Principal. Later it was converted to elementary classrooms until intergration
occured in the 60's.
The following people can verify the history of this building:
Clyde Parker
Moody Mayfield
Claude Berkman
I plan to take out a building permit within the next 30 days, with completion
of restoration in six months. I would like to propose that a possible use for
this building be a meeting place for the Hope Well Ex Student Association.
Your consideration on this matter is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
)
