Shirley Marquardt, a local preservationist, called to ask
John the status of the Stage Coach Inn in RR.
John Dean gave the following feedback:
1.
The RR
Road Project along 620 which involved the State Coach Inn (French Quarter
Restaurant) will start around the year 2015 (1-1/2 years from now).
2.
The State
Coach Inn decision should be made by the City of RR sometime this summer 2013.
3.
John expects the decision process to begin
within the next 3-6 months.
4.
John plans to contact the RR Historic
Preservation Staff to receive guidance on the process to follow concerning the
State Coach Inn.
5.
Earlier discussions at the City of RR have
included demolishing the inn, reconstructing the Inn, moving the Inn to the
Beach Area which is in the older part of town, demolishing the structure and
installing an historic monument in its place.
The City is open to other options.
No firm plans have been made at this time; however, reconstruction had
been discussed as not a viable option because a reconstructed structure would
not be the same as the original structure.
6.
John said no cost figures have been developed on
the cost to demolish the Stage Coach Inn or the cost to move the structure to
another location. John said no cost
figures for these actions were included when the City of RR received approval
from the RR City Council to move forward on the 620 Road Project.
7.
John recommended I contact Joelle Jordan, City
of RR Historic Preservation Office, Plan & Dev Svc (512-218-5422) to find
out what their recommendations were on the Stage Coach Inn as his office would
look to them for guidance or next step actions.
