D.12 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DECEMBER 14, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0494 4310 ROSEDALE AVENUE PROPOSAL RESEARCH Demolish a garage of undetermined age and construct a new garage. ARCHITECTURE The garage is a one-story, square-plan, pyramidal-roofed frame structure. This the home that Kenneth and Mildred Threadgill lived in from around 1945 until around 1984. Kenneth Threadgill was a legend in Austin’s music history, as the proprietor of a gas station/beer joint on North Lamar Boulevard, where he hosted jam sessions among Austin’s musicians, including the young Janis Joplin, who made her stage debut at Threadgill’s before moving to San Francisco. This application is to provide the Commission with an opportunity to review changes to the site with an eye on a potential recommendation for landmark designation for the Threadgill house. STAFF COMMENTS The house is beyond the limit of any city survey to date. Staff has evaluated this house for designation as a historic landmark and has determined that the house meets the criteria for landmark designation as set forth in City Code: D.12 - 2 a. Architecture. The house is a 1930s stone-veneered cottage that embodies a vernacular style and material that is increasingly rare in Austin. The original part of the house is intact, but it does have a dormer addition to the front roof that is compatible with the design of the house, as well as a two-story addition to the rear which is not visible from the street and does not affect the historic appearance of the house. Despite the modifications, the house satisfies the criterion for architectural significance. b. Historical association. The house was the long-time home of Kenneth and Mildred Threadgill, who lived here from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. Kenneth Threadgill is an icon in Austin music history as the proprietor of a service station and beer joint that offered music and provided an opportunity for young singers, such as Janis Joplin, to perform. The house qualifies for landmark designation for its associations with Kenneth Threadgill. c. Archaeology. The house was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d. Community value. The house does not possess a unique location, physical characteristic, or significant feature that contributes to the character, image, or cultural identity of the city, the neighborhood, or a particular demographic group. e. Landscape feature. The property is not …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DECEMBER 14, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0400 1400 DRAKE AVENUE D.2 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1937 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story, rectangular-plan, side-gabled frame house with a central, front-gabled independent porch on paired, plain wood posts; single and paired 1:1 fenestration. The house was built around 1937 by Paul Kirschner, a local builder and developer. The house was first purchased by Emmitt and Gertie Grosskopf, who lived here from around 1938 until around 1943. Emmitt Grosskopf was a blue print operator for the State Highway Department; Gertie Grosskopf was a service representative for the telephone company. Joseph C. and Wilhelmina Collins purchased the house around 1948 after it having been rented out for several years in the mid-1940s. Joseph C. Collins was a deaf mute who worked as a linotype operator for the Steck Company, a local printing and bookbinding company. The Collinses lived here until around 1956. Sam Alton Brooks, a longtime service man for the City Water and Light Department, purchased the house around 1956 and lived here until his death in 1988. STAFF COMMENTS The house was listed with no priority for research in the Comprehensive Cultural Resources Survey (1984). It is contributing to the pending Travis Heights National Register Historic District. Staff has evaluated this house for designation as a historic landmark and has determined that the house may meet the criteria for landmark designation as set forth in City Code: a. Architecture. The house is a classic vernacular 1930s cottage with an oversized, front-gabled porch. While a common type at the time of its construction, this is a vanishing resource type, and reflects blue-collar housing in South Austin. b. Historical association. The house is associated with several working class families, none of whom achieved significance individually, but as a group, represent blue-collar families who were able to purchase a house in a popular area of South Austin. c. Archaeology. The house was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d. Community value. The house does not possess a unique location, physical characteristic, or significant feature that contributes to the character, image, or cultural identity of the city, the neighborhood, or a particular demographic group. e. Landscape feature. The property is not a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, aesthetic, cultural, or historical value to the city. STAFF RECOMMENDATION …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DECEMBER 14, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0410 815 WEST 11TH STREET D.3 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1911 house. ARCHITECTURE One-story, rectangular-plan, hipped roof frame house with permastone siding, a central, hipped-roof front-facing dormer containing two windows; partial-width inset porch on non- historic wood posts; . RESEARCH The house was built around 1911; the first occupants were Jasper J. and Blanche Coulter, who lived here until around 1917. Jasper Coulter was a book keeper for McKean-Eilers, a large wholesale dry goods company on Congress Avenue (their building is a historic landmark). The house was rented by Lucy Scott, a teacher at Pease School, in the late 1910s and early 1920s. Patrick J. Moran, an oil driller, and his wife, Imogene, are listed as the owners of the house in the 1927 city directory; only Imogene Moran is shown in the 1929 directory. Following the Morans’ ownership of the house, it was a rental property again, with a meat cutter, the superintendent for the Austin Coca-Cola bottling plant, and a projectionist at the Varsity Theater among the tenants. Around 1946, Mrs. Gretta Catterall, a widow, purchased the property; she lived here until around 1970. STAFF COMMENTS The house was listed as a Priority 2 for research in the Comprehensive Cultural Resources Survey (1984). Staff has evaluated this house for designation as a historic landmark and has determined that the house may meet the criteria for landmark designation as set forth in City Code: a. Architecture. The house is a good example of a transitional house, between the older Victorian styles and the later bungalows. This house has a traditional form, but without the architectural ornamentation of earlier tastes, and without the simple floorplan and prominent front porch of the later bungalows. This neighborhood has a number of transitional houses; this one would be contributing to a potential historic district in the west end of downtown. b. Historical association. The house was the home of several middle class families, and represents the lifestyle of the middle class during the early 20th century. The house also has a history of both home ownership and rentals that typified residential patterns in this section of the city. While none of the inhabitants appear to have figured significantly in the history of Austin, the character of the house reflects middle class values. c. Archaeology. The house was not evaluated for its …

Carter, FAIA Square One Consultants 15 November 2020 Item D.9 HDP‐2020‐0410 Demolition of 815 W. 11th St. I am one of the owners of the property to the west of this house (817 W. 11th St) where I have had my architectural office since 1985. I am opposed to the demolition of the approximately 100 year old home at 815 W. 11th St. The immediate block is mostly businesses that have successfully adapted the sites to accommodate their office use, while retaining the historic structures and feel of the neighborhood. The sole exception on our block, even at three stories, is an unwelcome intrusion on the rhythm, scale, articulations that make up the feel of the street. Unlike 815, at least the 1980s building is towards the end of the block and allows the historic vista to remain looking south or east. I sympathize with the potential buyers, however, I would ask for a postponement to allow us to work with the applicant to come up with compromise that is acceptable to the applicant, the city and the immediate neighbors on the alley. The current development code requirements provide no leeway or incentives to keep the existing structure when compared to other requirements of the code. Our design firm has looked at several development options that provide for the +/‐ 4500 sf development that a vacant lot would allow under the current entitlements. However, options would require some accommodation for parking, impervious cover or protected trees. The current code prioritizes these issues over the …

D.5.0 - 605 Barton Springs Road — original pdf
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DECEMBER 14, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0431 605 BARTON SPRINGS ROAD D.5 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1928 commercial building, apartment, and greenhouse. ARCHITECTURE The complex consists of a two-story rectangular-plan commercial building with living quarters upstairs; this building has single 1:1 fenestration and corner parapets; it is a stuccoed building. The front section of the two story building is a one-story, rectangular-plan commercial building with large display windows and a round-arched stuccoed trellis at the entryway. Several one-story glass and metal greenhouses flank the west (right) side of the commercial building. RESEARCH This complex was once the home of McPhail’s Wayside Gardens, later McPhail’s Wayside Florist, one of the first and only 24-hour florists in Austin. Virgil and Rosa McPhail came to Austin from Beaumont and established the Wayside Gardens on the south side of Barton Springs Road. They built their home and florist shop on the site around 1928; the business remained in family hands until about 10 years ago. Virgil McPhail had several relatives also involved in the floral business in Austin. A brother owned the Barton Springs Floral Company down the road, and various other family members owned florist shops throughout the city, including the Airport Florists on Airport Boulevard. After Virgil and Rosa McPhail divorced around 1938 (and Virgil moved to 1108 Lavaca Street while Rosa remained here), Virgil McPhail went on to operate the Avenue Florists at 19th (now Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard) and the Interregional Highway (now IH-35), while Rosa McPhail continued operations at this Barton Springs Road location. Virgil McPhail also served as the chief floral inspector for the State Department of Agriculture in the late 1930s, and was renowned for traveling the state investigating flowers that he could bring back to Austin to cultivate. The Wayside Gardens and Florists was only one of several business interests Virgil McPhail had in the city. He was also the proprietor of the Hokey Pokey Grocery Store at 709 E. 6th Street in the 1920s, and opened the Sunken Gardens, an amusement area, on Barton Springs Road in the early 1930s. It appears that Virgil and Rosa McPhail reunited after their divorce – she is listed as his widow in his 1965 obituary. STAFF COMMENTS The building is beyond the bounds of any City survey to date. Staff has evaluated this building for designation as a historic landmark …
