From: To: Subject: Date: Brummett, Elizabeth Contreras, Kalan FW: Regarding, 1104 Toyath Street, Case # HR 21-029755 Friday, April 16, 2021 8:55:58 AM FYI—I thought you’d want to see this update. Subject: Regarding, 1104 Toyath Street, Case # HR 21-029755 *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** In March, I asked that you postpone your decision regarding the release of a demo permit for 1104 Toyath so that the Clarksville Community Development Corporation (CCDC), the neighborhood organization for historic Clarksville where the property is located, could have time to try to work out a way to avoid a demo and the loss of a home that contributes to our NRHD. After the postponement was granted, members of the CCDC board of directors met with staff at Paradisa Homes, the home building company that purchased 1104 Toyath, to discuss alternatives to a demolition and design features appropriate for Clarksville. In the end, we were not able to convince Paradisa Homes to save the house. However, the company was willing to scrap its original new home design and design a better alternative. Also, Paradisa eliminated the front facing garage we had objected to. For these reasons, the CCDC will not oppose release of the demo permit for 1104 Toyath. Although we certainly don't want to lose the home, we have no viable options for saving it because Clarksville is not a LHD and 1104 is not a candidate for historic status. Therefore, achieving a better design for the new home is our best option.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER DISTRICTS APRIL 26, 2021 HR-2021-043586 WILSHIRE NATIONAL REGISTER DISTRICT 4113 LULLWOOD ROAD C.3 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Partially demolish ca. 1950 contributing house; remodel and construct additions. Demolish ca. 2000 detached garage and construct new detached garage, carport, and accessory dwelling unit. The proposed project entails partial demolition and new construction affecting all sides of the house. While some walls remain and the new construction uses matching random ashlar limestone cladding, the project fully alters the view of the property from the street through removal of the low stone entry courtyard, addition of new elements, and reconfiguration and replacement of all windows. The project also includes construction of a garage, carport, and accessory dwelling unit connected to the main house with a breezeway. These elements replace a non-historic detached garage. Reconfiguration of an existing backyard pool and changes to other landscape elements are also proposed. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH This cross-gabled Ranch-style house is situated diagonally on the lot in an expansive front yard with mature oak trees. The front entrance is at the inside corner of the ell, beyond metal porch supports and a partial height stepped limestone wall that forms a courtyard. The house is clad in random ashlar limestone and horizontal siding in the gable ends. It has a variety of window types: mulled and single 6:6 and 4:4 wood windows and a grouping of awning or hopper windows at the entry. During the 1950s, the home was owned by Joe K. and Nancy J. Alexander. Joe Alexander served in the Army Air Corps during World War II and subsequently operated the Joe K. Alexander Printing Company. The couple was active with the PTA at nearby Maplewood Elementary School. In 1959, the couple sold the house. By 1961, Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Mosley resided in the home. Mr. Mosley was a restauranteur. He opened the officers’ and non- commissioned officers’ clubs at Randolph Field, and in Austin, opened the Milam Cafeteria, Delwood Cafeteria, Allandale Cafeteria, and Twin Oaks Cafeteria between 1939 and 1954. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW Repair and alterations 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 in National Register Historic Districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 4.1 Repair, rather than replace, historic material, unless it is deteriorated beyond …

ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH STAFF COMMENTS One-story side-gabled house with partial-width porch, 1:1 wood windows, and horizontal wood siding. The house at 1710 Mohle Drive was constructed in 1939. Its first owner, salesman Jack Howell, stayed there only about four years before joining the Army. He sold the house to Joseph and Christine Terrill, who maintained ownership until their deaths in 1961 and 1975. Joseph Terrill, an engineer, worked for the United States Bureau of Roads and Texas Highway Department. Christine Terrill worked as an office secretary for the Texas Department of Banking. The building is listed as noncontributing to the Old West Austin National Register Historic District; however, it retains integrity and appears to have been constructed during the district’s period of significance. A non-original screened porch was removed in the 2010s, likely restoring the building to its historic appearance. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building does not appear to be architecturally significant. b. Historical association. The property does not appear to have significant historical associations. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d. Community value. The property 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.

One-story L-plan Folk Victorian house with cross-hipped metal roof; horizontal wood siding; a partial-width, shed-roofed porch with chamfered posts and jigsawn brackets; and 2:2 wood windows with screens. The house at 905 E. 2nd Street was constructed around 1906. Its earliest occupants were renters, who mostly worked at the nearby railyards and stayed in the home for relatively short periods, often sharing the building with another family. Other occupants included clerks, drivers, carpenters, and telephone company employees. In the late 1920s, the home was occupied by the Rollings family. William Rollings worked at the City Water and Light Department. His wife Bertha worked as a finisher at the Austin Hotel’s laundry, and some of the Rollings daughters also worked as laundresses and hotel laundry staff along with their mother. Their sons worked as a truck driver and a chauffeur. Other longer-term renters included Levi and Mary Van Sickle, an engineer and his eventual widow, and Milton B. Ayers and his wife and son. Ayers was an elevator operator, while his son worked as a machinist and carpenter. Paul and Alma Fick, a cigar company employee and clerk, lived in the house in the late 1950s along with their son, Paul Jr., who also found a job at Eli Witt Cigars.

If the historic building has a side-gabled, cross-gabled, hipped, or pyramidal roof form, set the addition behind the roof ridgeline or peak. 1.5 Minimize the loss of historic fabric by connecting additions to the existing building through the least possible invasive location and means.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS APRIL 26, 2021 PR-2020-192534 503 E. ANNIE STREET D.2 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1931 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story, rectangular-plan, side-gabled frame house with a central, front-gabled entry bay; paired 1:1 fenestration on the main elevation; single and paired 1:1 fenestration elsewhere; standing seam metal roof. The house appears to have been built in 1931, based upon city directory records and a sewer service permit issued for this address. The first owner and occupant was Elmer D. Wiginton, who may have moved in here as early as 1931 with a wife named Patricia (who only shows up in the 1932-33 city directory), or with his wife Lillian who appears in all later city directories; they married in April of 1932. Elmer D. Wiginton was an accountant for the City Auditing Department; he and Lillian lived here until 1940, when the moved to a house on Bonnieview in Fairview Park. The next owners and occupants, who lived here from around 1948 until at least 1974, were Tom B. and Rena Woodland. Tom B. Woodland was a retired farmer from Concho County, Texas; while living in Austin, he worked as a watchman. Rena Woodland was a saleslady in various hardware stores, including Woodland Hardware on South Congress Avenue, operated by Webb and David C. Woodland, Jr., possible relatives. STAFF COMMENTS The house is listed as contributing to the pending Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register District. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain a moderate to high degree of integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated this house for designation as a historic landmark and has determined that the house, while clearly contributing to the pending historic district, does not meet the criteria for landmark designation as set forth in City Code: a. Architecture. The house is a ca. 1931 Craftsman cottage, typical of many in the neighborhood, and characterizing a large number of middle-class residences in Travis Heights. This house does not reflect the architectural distinction necessary for qualification as a historic landmark under this criterion. b. Historical association. The house was first owned by an accountant for the city, and then by a retired farmer and his wife, who worked as a saleslady in a hardware store. There do not appear to be significant …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS APRIL 26, 2021 HR-2021-029739 1308 TRAVIS HEIGHTS BOULEVARD D.X – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1922 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story bungalow with horizontal wood siding, hipped roof with clipped gable at façade, partial-width porch, and attached carport. Fenestration includes paired 1:1 windows and replacement picture window. The house at 1308 Travis Heights Boulevard was built around 1922 by Woodhull T. and Thelma Lehmann. The Lehmanns did not stay in the house long; by 1927 they had sold the property to the Maloy family, its longest-term residents. James J. Maloy worked as a hardware clerk at the Walter Tips Company. Mary Maloy was an active leader in charity work for St. Ignatius Catholic Church. She helped to found the Home of the Holy Infancy, a charity for dependent infants at Seton Hospital, and served as its president. After Mary Maloy’s death in 1944, her son, James H. Maloy, and his wife, Edna, occupied the home. Upon returning from Europe as a veteran of World War II, Maloy worked as a projectionist for various schools and theaters. Maloy was an active union member and volunteered as a film educator. STAFF COMMENTS The house is listed as a potentially contributing resource in the pending Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register Historic District. 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate to low integrity. 3) Properties must meet two historic designation criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated this property and determined that the house does not meet the criteria for landmark designation as set forth in City Code: a) Architecture. The building does not appear to convey architectural significance. b) Historical association. The building does not appear to have historical associations. 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 Encourage rehabilitation and adaptive re-use, then relocation over demolition, but release the permit upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package. LOCATION …
