QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: architecture and historical associations HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: CASE MANAGER: Kalan Contreras, 512-974-2727 NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS: Austin Neighborhoods Council, CANPAC (Central Austin Neigh Plan Area Committee), Friends of Austin Neighborhoods, Homeless Neighborhood Association, North University Neighborhood Association, North University Neighborhood Association Development Review Committee, Preservation Austin DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The 2020 North University-Windsor-Hyde Park historic resource survey recommends the property as eligible for local landmark listing, individual listing on the National Register, and contributing to potential local and National Register historic districts. BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: § 25-2-352(3)(c)(i) Architecture. The property embodies the distinguishing characteristics of a recognized architectural style, type, or method of construction; exemplifies technological innovation in design or construction; displays high artistic value in representing ethnic or folk art, architecture, or construction; represents a rare example of an architectural style in the city; serves as an outstanding example of the work of an architect, builder, or artisan who significantly contributed to the development of the city, state, or nation; possesses cultural, historical, or architectural value as a particularly fine or unique example of a utilitarian or vernacular structure; or represents an architectural curiosity or one-of- a-kind building. The house at 400 W. 37th Street, constructed in 1912, is an excellent example of an early-20th-century Neoclassical bungalow. It is one story in height, with a hipped roof. Its symmetrical façade is composed of a central entrance bay flanked by matching 1/1 double-hung windows. It has a hipped dormer centered on the overarching roof and an inset full-façade front porch supported by four Doric order columns. According to applicant and architectural historian Terri Myers, its exceptional integrity of design, materials, setting, association and workmanship grant it a strong ability to convey an authentic sense of its own history as well as the early twentieth century context of Austin’s suburban expansion along the Guadalupe streetcar line north of the University of …

BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: § 25-2-352(3)(c)(i) Architecture. The property embodies the distinguishing characteristics of a recognized architectural style, type, or method of construction; exemplifies technological innovation in design or construction; displays high artistic value in representing ethnic or folk art, architecture, or construction; represents a rare example of an architectural style in the city; serves as an outstanding example of the work of an architect, builder, or artisan who significantly contributed to the development of the city, state, or nation; possesses cultural, historical, or architectural value as a particularly fine or unique example of a utilitarian or vernacular structure; or represents an architectural curiosity or one-of-a-kind building. As a civic building in its park setting, Doris Miller Auditorium occupies a prominent location in the neighborhood and the larger East Austin context. Originally constructed in 1944, with ownership transferring to the city in 1946, it first served as a facility for returning Black service members during World War II. As a USO recreation center, the facility (named for U.S. Navy cook Doris Miller, originally from Waco, who served during the attack on Pearl Harbor, earning the distinction of being the first Black servicemember receive the Naval Cross for his heroism) hosted events, including dances, concerts, and other social events. Additionally, there were facilities provided for athletics and stage performances, making the auditorium …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificate of Appropriateness July 1, 2026 PR-2026-008188; GF-2026-025308 Robertson/Stuart & Mair Historic District 1005 East 8th Street 4 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1906 house listed as contributing to a local historic district. Architecture The house at 1005 East 8th St. was likely originally constructed as a single story building, with the sloping elevation of the site creating a crawlspace or cellar to the east side of the building footprint. Since its construction, this has been enclosed, and a rear addition built, increasing the enclosed area of the building. However, the U-shaped form and Folk Victorian elements still read legibly, and decorative elements, especially at the front porch and gable ends, remain present. The integrity of the architecture is strong and the property remains contributing to the Robertson/Stuart & Mair historic district. Research For the first 30 years after construction, the property went through a series of renters, made up of families and individuals employed by various local industries and services, including carpenters, foundry workers, and porters. The first long term owners were Ernest & Marie Kemp, who operated a local grocery. Marie Kemp continued to live at the address after her husband’s death, but by the 1950s, the property was vacant before becoming subdivided for oil industry and other professional offices. A third housing unit was added in 1970, indicating that this property continued use as residential rentals. An overnight fire occurred at the property on November 12th, 20251. Department Comments This application will time out on August 15, 2026. Property Evaluation The property contributes to the Robertson/Stuart & Mair Historic District. Staff Recommendation Consider backup provided to determine need for total demolition versus opportunity for partial demolition or repair to the damaged existing structure. If more information or discussion is needed, postpone the public hearing to the August 5, 2026 Historic Landmark Commission meeting. 1 “Firefighter injured in East Austin house fire, investigation underway”. https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/afd-responding-to- house-fire-in-east-austin-no-injuries-reported Location Map 4 – 2 Property Information Photos 4 – 3 Texas Historical Commission, photograph, May 29, 1975.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificates of Appropriateness July 1, 2026 HR-2026-036164 Hyde Park Local Historic District 304 West 42nd Street 5 – 1 Proposal Demolish a contributing building and replace it with a new building. Project Specifications The proposed new building spans two lots and is oriented towards Avenue C rather than West 42nd Street. It is two stories in height, clad in horizontal lap siding with board and batten accents. The roof is composed of a series of compound gables and a shed-roof dormer at the southern elevation. A partial-width covered porch displays Craftsman-inspired proportions and triangular brackets at the 42nd Street elevation; similar brackets appear at gable ends on the Avenue C façade and at the westernmost carport elevation. Fenestration includes fixed, casement, and 1:1 windows interspersed throughout each elevation. Architecture 304 West 42nd Street is a ca. 1932 bungalow. It is one story in height, clad in horizontal wood siding, with simple massing and a side-gabled rectangular plan. A gabled garage abuts the easternmost elevation. Fenestration includes 1:1 wood windows. Exposed rafter tails are present at eaves and triangular brackets at gable ends. Design Standards The Hyde Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1. General Standards 1.1: Prevention of Demolition. Demolition of any contributing structure is strongly discouraged under all circumstances. The proposed project includes demolition of a contributing building. 5. Residential Standards: New Construction of Single-Family Structures 5.1: Massing, Scale, and Architectural Elements. Use massing, scale, and architectural elements typical of the contributing buildings on the block when designing a new building. The geometry of new house construction shall be in a scale with contributing buildings on the same block. When applying to Historic Landmark Commission, include photographs of all existing adjacent buildings and any other buildings on the block which have inspired design choices for the new construction. Proposed massing is more complicated than contributing buildings nearby, though the new building reflects historic-era gable forms. The building’s location, with the main entrance fronting Avenue C and the long secondary side along 42nd, is not consistent with the streetscape; however, the secondary entrance and gabled porch somewhat mitigate this. 5.3: Porches. Front porches on new construction are not necessary, but if present, they must be at least 7 feet deep. The proposed porch is approximately 5.25’ at the 42nd Street elevation …
Historic Landmark Commission Homeowner Response 304 W 42nd Street 1. The Home’s original location does not meet the intent of the area and is not compatible with Hyde Park’s NCCD Ordinance # 20101216-093 Design standards for both Remodeling and New Construction. The Home is located at the rear of the property, and 5’ of the existing structure is currently non-compliant with current City building guidelines for setbacks. The Ordinance requires 5.9 New construction garages to be detached and at the rear of the property, Carports can’t face the front of the building. This creates a hardship for the Owner, as the current location of the home will not allow for remodeling. The Owner wants to add a garage or carport, and the proposed way to alleviate the homeowner’s hardship is to construct a new Home within the NCCD’s guidelines and get the parking (carport) at the rear portion of the property. 2. Part 7 of Hyde Park NCCD shows that the intent of the property is to locate the House facing Ave C. Part 7 of The Hyde Park NCCD # 2009423-092, as well as current City Regulations, would require this property to Face Ave C. The City will consider the narrow or shorter side of the property Ave C the front regarding current setbacks 25’ front and the corner, longer side 15’ the side setback, side property. Reviewing the 3 corresponding corner properties (see attached) of 42nd street at Ave C, 4201 Ave C, 4114 Ave C and 4115 Ave C, all are front facing Ave C, all at the front setback line. The house at 304 W 42nd Street is built at the rear of the property line currently encroaching The City of Austin’s rear setback guidelines. 3. 4.2 of The Ordinance #20101216-093 requires that any new Additions be located at the rear or rear side to be less visible from the street. This part of the Ordinance gives additional hardship to the Owner as the current location of the existing home is entirely at the rear of the property and would not allow for any new additions because any new additions or alterations could only go to the front of the Lot and facing Ave C. The Owner wants a garage or carport, so there is no way of keeping part of the current homes “elevation” since this is the only location on the lot for a …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificate of Appropriateness July 1, 2026 HR-2026-057184 Aldridge Place Historic District 208 West 32nd Street 6 – 1 Proposal Relocate a contributing property on the same lot and construct a two-story addition, along with a detached garage. Project Specifications 1) Rotate an existing 1,382 square foot contributing resource on its existing site to allow it to fit within setback requirements. 2) Demolish a rear corner and side wall, along with a portion of the front wall and porch. In its place, construct an addition to the rear of the existing house, along with a second story that encompasses a portion of the existing house’s footprint. 3) Demolish the existing rear garage and construct a new garage in its place. Architecture This property is a single-story, largely symmetrical house that contributes to the Aldridge Place historic district. It features a deep front porch that is located at the center of the front elevation facing 32nd Street. Though it is on a corner lot, and many such properties in the district face Hemphill Park or otherwise open up to both streets, this house does not. There are several sets of paired wood windows on the front and sides of the house. One is found immediately adjacent to the front door, and two are located towards the rear of the Hemphill Park side. Windows are either 1-over-1 or 4-over-1 fixtures, which may indicate some replacement over time. The house is set on pier and beam foundation, and brick posts appear at the bottom half of the front porch supports. The roof is standing seam metal in material. Overall, the house is in a threatened condition due to years of neglect and likely requires foundation shoring and reinforcement. Design Standards The Aldridge Place Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: General Standards 5.1.1. Prevention of Demolition This application seeks to avoid total demolition, but does significantly alter the contributing property to the point that it will be read very differently from the street. While the street facing facades will be largely left intact, the two rear walls will see significant removal of historic material. 5.1.2. Retention of Historic Style Most of the existing historic style will be retained, and some demolition is propsed at non-historic infill, which is compliant with the standards. 5.1.3. Avoidance of False Historicism …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificate of Appropriateness July 1, 2026 HR-2026-052864 German Free School 507 East 10th Street 7 – 1 Proposal Install a metal roof on a City of Austin landmarked building. Project Specifications 1) Remove existing non-original roofing material, including damaged structural members and unsecured roof support elements. 2) Insulate the attic space and repair rafters where possible. 3) Install new roof decking and standing seam metal roof above, along with new flashing and sealed roof penetrations. Design Standards The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects at historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 1. General standards The existing roof of the main building is asphalt or composition shingle roof, which has been replaced as required since original construction. 3. Roofs Replacement metal roofing material can be found at the property above the porch overlooking the courtyard, which has been installed in such a way that decorative and structural material of the building’s walls have not been compromised. Due to the durability, as well as how it will match this section above the porch, a metal roof over the main structure is appropriate and meets design standard 3.1. The roof shape and pitch are not to be altered, and no additional decorative elements are proposed. However, more information is needed from the applicant regarding the exact appearance and dimensions of the metal material in order to determine it is appropriate and will not draw attention away from other architectural elements of the German Free School building. It is recommended that, if these details are not supplied at the time of the July 1 meeting, the applicant may submit them to Historic Preservation Office staff for administrative approval. 4. Exterior walls and trim Exterior trim details are not included in this scope, and it is highly recommended that as little interference is performed if not necessary to install the new roof. 7. Chimneys Existing chimneys and roof penetrations are to remain. Care must be taken when installing flashing to avoid potential for water infiltration as well as unnecessary covering of historic material. Summary The project generally meets the applicable standards. Department Comments This project has been awarded a 2026 Austin Arts, Culture, Music and Entertainment Heritage Preservation Grant. This application will time out …
