BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Comal County Historical Commission is interested in pursuing a project to list the subject properties in the National Register of Historic Places. The properties known as The Faust-Frueholz House at 305 S. Seguin Avenue and the Medical Building located at 152 E. Coll Street, respectively, have been determined eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places by the Texas Historical Commission. The inclusion of both properties in the National Register of Historic Places would increase awareness of their significance and history as well as the importance of historic preservation. The inclusion of both properties in the National Register of Historic Places would not place any additional restrictions on the use or maintenance of the property.
ISSUE:
As participants in the Certified Local Government program, the City’s Historic Landmark Commission is required to review and provide comments on any National Register nominations within the City’s jurisdiction.
