Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard on the south, and Chestnut Avenue (to 20th Street) on the west. See map for additional details.

SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the proposed zoning change to create the Rogers Washington Holy Cross Historic District. QUALIFICATIONS FOR HISTORIC DISTRICT DESIGNATION: The application for the Rogers Washington Holy Cross Historic District meets all Code requirements for the formation of a historic district. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The proposed Rogers Washington Holy Cross Historic District is a largely intact postwar neighborhood that demonstrates the determination and success of the African American community in Austin. The neighborhood was developed by Black professionals for Black professionals. This was a major milestone at a time when many white Austinites with similar socioeconomic and community standing were buying suburban homes and moving out of the city. Racially restrictive covenants, redlining, prejudiced lenders, and other social and governmental barriers prevented African Americans from making the same move. Rogers Washington Holy Cross was a powerful symbolic response, and established a tight-knit neighborhood of movers and shakers in the Black community, Austin, and beyond. Early residents included Huston-Tillotson Chancellor John Q. Taylor King; Carnegie H. Mims, Jr., the first Ombudsman at the University of Texas; T. C. Calhoun, longtime principal of Kealing Junior High School; and numerous other educational leaders, including Willie Mae Kirk, Carnegie Harvard Mims, Sr., and Ira Poole The Kirk family lived on Maple Avenue; Ms. Kirk’s husband Lee Sr. was the first African American postal worker and certified pilot in Austin, and her son Ron served as Dallas’s first African American Mayor and an Obama cabinet member. Jimmy Snell was a City Council member who served as the first Black Mayor Pro Tem. Norman Scales was a member of the famed Tuskegee Airmen. Prominent business owners, some of the earliest graduates from UT following desegregation, and even more leaders also called the …
Dear Members of the Historic Landmark Commission I thank you for your service and making time to listen to public input regarding the application for the Historic District Application for the Rogers Washington Holy Cross neighborhood. My wife and I own and lease a contributing property associated with the application. We collectively spent 15 years in Austin. We moved away from Austin to support extended family in 2014. However, we loved living in Austin and kept our home so that we can retire there. We look forward to spending more time with our Austin friends and the broader community. We treat our lessees like we would want to be treated and invest in the home as if we lived there. In the last decade, we have invested in over $30,000 in maintenance and improvements, including approximately $6,000 in above-code energy efficiency improvements. I cannot think of a time when we denied a tenant a request, from paying for smart thermostats to indoor air quality tests. As recently as July of this year, we upgraded the HVAC equipment at our property in Rogers Washington to meet current Energy Star standards. In March of this year, we offered rent forgiveness to our tenants - no strings attached - to alleviate the stress of COVID19. I’d be happy to share with you other anecdotes that demonstrate how we care for our tenants and property. We know it is stressful to live in an ever changing and growing Austin. While we support the Rogers Washington community in their stated objectives, we ultimately voted against the design standards because: (1) the processes used to develop the design standards excluded us; (2) some original features are required to be preserved where replacements may perform better; (3) there appear to be conflicts within the standards, particularly when combined with existing and future development requirements; and (4) we see no institutional mechanisms in place at the City to deal with these conflicts and democratize voices when preservation requires trade-offs. We found the processes used to develop the standards to be exclusive and opaque. We asked to join the design committee and neighborhood association and/or connect with the design committee by phone. We paid for a Basecamp account to share information online, as there is no online presence for the neighborhood association, the design committee, or draft documents submitted to the City. None of these efforts were successful. Twice …
ROGERS WASHINGTON HOLY CROSS HISTORIC DISTRICT DESIGN STANDARDS 1 CONTEXT Historic Rogers Washington Holy Cross was one of the first neighborhoods developed by black professionals for black professionals, and therefore the development pattern of the neighborhood is strongly tied to the cultural significance of the neighborhood as a professional, middle-class, suburban neighborhood. Historic Rogers Washington Holy Cross is an auto-oriented development. Therefore, the patterns of development are based on a street pattern favoring the auto, not the pedestrian. Much of the neighborhood is characterized by curvilinear streets without sidewalks. Construction in the neighborhood began around 1950. The oldest structure documented in the neighborhood is from 1947, but the era of significance of the District is between 1950 and 1965, when the majority of the houses were built. The District features classic mid-century American architecture, which falls into three primary styles: Minimal Traditional, Ranch and Contemporary. 2 INTRODUCTION The primary goal of this historic district is to preserve the overall character, identity, and presence of the Rogers Washington Holy Cross neighborhood. Buildings, sites, and landscapes help create the identity and character of the neighborhood. Design standards serve to preserve and protect areas of historical and architectural importance, as well as the overall visual characteristics of the district. The design standards recognize that change is inevitable. They are written to enable and empower property owners to acknowledge and maintain the integrity of historic buildings and comply with the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. Consequently, the Rogers Washington Holy Cross Design Standards provide guidance and support for the repair, rehabilitation, preservation and restoration of historic buildings within the historic district, and to ensure that additions and new construction are compatible with the architectural character of the district. Historic district designation does not require property owners to make changes to their properties, such as returning buildings to their historic appearance. Additionally, the historic review process that results from district designation is limited to projects that affect the exterior of the building and its site. Interior remodeling projects do not require Historic Preservation Office or Historic Landmark Commission review and approval. This document is a tool for property owners, tenants, contractors, design professionals, realtors, and anyone else planning a change to the exterior or site of a building or new construction within the district; as well as the Historic Landmark Commission in its evaluation of whether to grant a Certificate of Appropriateness for any …
Rogers Washington Holy Cross Historic District Preservation Plan & Narrative History 1 Rogers Washington Holy Cross Preservation Plan Overview About the historic district The Rogers Washington Holy Cross Historic District is one of the most intact concentrations of post-World War II housing for African Americans in Austin. As an early neighborhood developed by black professionals for black professionals, its development pattern is strongly tied to its cultural significance as a professional, middle-class, suburban neighborhood. Neighborhood residents positively impacted science, architecture, local and national government, education, the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force, and more. Architecturally, the houses represent post- war stylistic trends, including ranch, minimal traditional, contemporary and split-level styles. John Chase, the first African American to graduate from the University of Texas School of Architecture, designed houses in the district. Nash Phillips, a well-known builder, is also associated with the district. Historic district (HD) designation is intended to protect and enhance existing historic resources. By establishing Rogers Washington Holy Cross Historic District zoning, the City of Austin provides a mechanism to ensure that architectural changes within the district are compatible with its historic character. Some of the homes within the district may not have sufficient historical or architectural significance to be designated as individual historic landmarks, but they have significance as part of the neighborhood fabric and context. Rogers Washington Holy Cross has retained its original appearance and landscape patterns and conveys a distinct and accurate sense of its own history. As noted in the East Austin Historic Resource Survey, the district is significant for its relevance to important historic development and architectural trends in Austin, including post- World War II development patterns and its associations with Nash Phillips and John Chase, both known for their impact on Austin’s growth and development. In sum, Rogers Washington Holy Cross meets several of the criteria for local designation, including architecture, historical associations, and community value. The neighborhood is overwhelmingly comprised of historic-age resources that retain architectural integrity (47 of 57 resources), and it has an exceptional ratio of contributing to noncontributing properties with 82% contributing and 18% non-contributing. The Rogers Washington Holy Cross Historic District represents the history and significance of an underrepresented population and under-told story of the history of Austin. Purpose of the preservation plan The City of Austin benefits from having neighborhoods and buildings that represent its diverse history and with unique architectural styles. The Rogers Washington Holy …

July 17, 2020 Emily Reed, Chair City of Austin Historic Landmark Commission Re: Rogers Washington Holy Cross District LHD Application Dear Ms. Reed, Preservation Austin is so pleased to offer this letter of support for the Rogers Washington Holy Cross Historic District application. Our organization has been Austin’s leading nonprofit voice for historic preservation since 1953, with a mission to promote our city’s diverse cultural heritage through the preservation of historic places. We strongly support the establishment of a local historic district in Rogers Washington Holy Cross (RWHC). The Rogers Washington Holy Cross Historic District is one of the most intact concentrations of post- World War II housing for African Americans in Austin. As an early neighborhood developed by Black professionals for Black professionals, Rogers Washington Holy Cross represents the strength and tenacity of many African American families who dedicated their lives to the education and uplifting of their children and their community. The RWHC neighborhood is small in size but large in significance, including several architecturally distinct buildings designed by African American architect John Chase, FAIA, and many residences of individuals and families who made meaningful contributions to the city of Austin and beyond. Historic district status would help preserve this unique cultural and built legacy. The RWHC neighborhood organization has been committed to investing in the needs and improvements of the neighborhood for decades, despite the pressures of systemic racism and economic inequities. The neighborhood association has worked collaboratively and creatively with homeowners, renters, and businesses over the last three years to develop design standards that incorporate the spirit of preservation and the dynamic realities of this central East Austin neighborhood. Our nonprofit has supported this community-based, volunteer-driven effort for the past two years, including through two matching grants to help cover application fees. We’ve been honored to work with these advocates, and urge the Historic Landmark Commission to support making this district a reality. Sincerely, Lori Martin, President Dear Commissioners, Re: Rogers-Washington-Holy Cross District Preservation Application On behalf of the City of Austin's Equity Office, please accept this letter of support for the Rogers- Washington-Holy Cross Neighborhood Association [RWHC] Historic District Preservation Application. The City of Austin’s Strategic Direction 2023 calls for the focus on culture and lifelong learning being enriched by Austin’s unique civic, cultural, ethnic, and learning opportunities. Unfortunately, one of the major challenges we face is the loss of that culture and history of …

H ISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS JU LY 27, 2020 C14H-1996-0003 BA RTHOLOMEW-ROBINSON BUILDING 1415 LAVACA STREET B.1 - 1 PR OPOSAL Construct a mid-rise addition to the building. PR OJECT SPECIFICATIONS The applicant proposes to construct a mid-rise hotel addition to the building, which has been rendered untenantable by long-standing sewerage and drainage problems. The proposed addition will rise from within the existing walls of the building, and will have 10 stories of hotel rooms above a 24-foot tall glass-clad story that will house hotel meeting rooms and amenities. The total height of the building will be 149 feet. The base of the addition, clad in glass, will be set back 10 feet from the existing parapet wall of the historic structure on the Lavaca Street frontage and 14 feet behind the 15th Street frontage of the building. The remainder of the addition will be cantilvered out over the walls of the existing building; the bottom of the cantilevered section will be 8 feet above the existing mansard cupolas. The main entrance to the building will be located at the historic entrance location at the corner of 15th and Lavaca Streets. None of the windows or doors on the existing building will be modified. The walls of the addition will present as white and light gray. STA NDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are used to evaluate projects on historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1) A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal change to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships. Evaluation: The building has historically had a commercial use, most recently offices. The change of use to a hotel necessitates the construction of the proposed addition. The existing historic walls, openings, and distinctive mansard turrets on the corners of the original part of the building will be retained but will be visually impacted by the size and scale of an addition that does not meet Standard 9. Thus, the project also does not meet Standard 1. 2) The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a property will be avoided. Evaluation: The existing building will be retained. The addition will be built inside the …
