The move came in response to a request before the Austin Historic Landmark Commission to demolish the buildings on West Fourth and Colorado Streets and replace them with a proposed 400-unit high-rise building that would also house retail stores, restaurants, and bars on the ground floor.
The Historic Landmark Commission of Austin, Texas, unanimously approved the first steps of providing historic zoning for a section of the city’s Fourth Street warehouse district housing longtime LGBTQ+ clubs like Oil Can Harry’s, the Coconut Club, and Neon Grotto.
