The property is located within the College Street Residential Historic District and is landmarked. The proposed site plan and photos of historic houses which once stood in the Historic Township area is attached. These homes would be used to provide inspiration for new homes to be constructed on the new residential lots. The Sunday School building is a gable fronted rectangular structure that once adjoined the 1950 Grapevine Church of Christ Sanctuary Building which burned in the 1980s and was demolished. The Sunday School Building that remains is located in the center of the property. The Building is clad in Texas limestone veneer and has few windows. The building does not lend itself to being adapted to serve as a single-family residential structure. The outdoor Pavilion and decorative brick walls were constructed for the Winery which closed in 2010 and are currently in disrepair. See photos attached. 2024-04-24 HPC 2 HPC APRIL 24, 2024 The property is 78,972 square feet in size and would be divided into four large single- family residential lots ranging from 12,737 square feet to 15,899 square feet in size fronting on East College Street and one commercial lot of 21,716 square feet in size fronting on East Hudgins Street.

Their goal for this property is to clean up an eye sore on College Street and add value to the neighborhood. He said he would like do something special on the lots and provide future owners with plans to use that are above average and bring back some of the prominent historic homes from the Grapevine area. Vice-Chairman Telford made a comment that she knew many people who attended the Church of Christ. Later she visited the La Buena Vida Winery with the Candlelight Tour of Homes and other times. It breaks her heart driving down College Street to see the property has fallen into such disrepair. 2024-04-24 HPC 3 HPC APPIL 24, 2024 Commissioner Meyers asked if the place could be rehabbed as a winery again. David Klempin said after 10 years sitting empty it is not a viable option. Paul W. McCallum said the Sanctuary burned down in 1988. Some teenagers broke into the church sanctuary and caught the building on fire over the weekend. He was in the building on the Friday and by Monday the building was destroyed. The building exterior was solid limestone, that was fractured from the heat with nothing recoverable from it. The Sunday school is partially covered in a limestone veneer, in the back of the building are additions for office space. There is not any opportunity to rehab the facility. Mr. McCallum said the highest and best use of the property at this time is for residential homes. Commissioner Anderson remembers 20 years ago her child had a birthday party there and asked if the property needs a historic overlay. Mr. Klempin said the property is already included in the College Street Historic District.
