AGENDA ITEM COVER SHEET
SUBJECT
Discussion and possible action on acceptance by the City Council of the offer by the Episcopal Church Diocese of Houston to donate the Old Grace
Episcopal Church facility.
ITEM SUMMARY
The City has been offered, at no cost, the old Grace Episcopal Church facility located in Georgetown, which was built in 1881. If this offer is
accepted, the City must move the church to a location of the City's choice. Two locations have been considered as possible sites for this facility.
They are:
1. The site of the demolished Woodmen Of The World Building on North College Street; and,
2. The recently -purchased historic site at the corner of 9th and Church Streets.
The City Building Department advised that since the building is being moved to a new location, it must meet all City standard building codes as a
new building. The cost estimates listed below are in response to code requirements or recommended structural needs as determined by a building
remodeler with experience in restoring historic structures.
The estimated cost factors for moving and restoration of the church are listed in priority order:
1. Moving of facility and preparation of foundation. This is the North College Street
location. The City's Electric Department would be required to assist with electric wire
problems during moving.
