OWANA Old West Austin Neighborhood Association PO Box 2724 Austin, TX 78768 HR 21-048237 1816 West 11th Street April 23, 2021 Chair & Commissioners Historic Landmark Commission City of Austin Dear Commissioners, OWANA’s zoning committee met with the architect on this project and we voted to remain neutral. Although we were not in love with the design we were more concerned with allowing three separate units being built and used as rentals on the property. I understand that this may not fall under your purview but we felt that it would be important to document this. The owner of the property is constructing three separate buildings: the main house, an ADU and a garage with living space above. The owner claims that he will be using this for a studio for his hobby, and we have no reason to doubt him. But in other parts of the city, particularly in East Austin, stand-alone garages with living spaces above are being built and end up used as rentals. The city does not allow three units to be built on a residential zoned lot and used as rentals. Sincerely yours, RosemaryMerriam Chair, OWANA Zoning Committee
From: To: Subject: Date: Samuel Archer PAZ Preservation HR21-048417 - 1003 Maufrais St. Tuesday, April 20, 2021 1:27:13 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** The destruction of this house will rip another piece out of Old West Austin West Line and weaken our standing as a recognized historically intact neighborhood. However, the house at 1003 Maufrais is built in the basin for the rivulet that runs through West Austin Park, parallel to Nelson St. Eighth St. and then under Sixth St. Considering how damp that soil always is, I can understand why the owner would opt for demolition, as there is likely much rot and insect damage in its framing. Any new foundation put there should be piers about four feet tall with abundant ventilation of the crawl space, and then a beam and joist structure with termite deflectors on each pier. I do not hold much hope for that in a world run by bankers. My early formative years were lived in 1004 Maufrais in the 1950's. I am not declaring favor or objection to the application. Just do what you can to talk some sense into the applicant/owner. The house almost directly across the creek from it at about 1004 Lorraine was lifted up and outfitted with a new bottom storey, so house-jacking equipment has been moved in as close as that. Doing that on 1003 Maufrais would go a long way to preserve that piece of neighborhood historicity. . Samuel L.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS APRIL 26, 2021 PR-20-183612 1601 BRACKENRIDGE STREET D.1 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Partially demolish ca. 1915 house, construct a rear dormer, and construct an accessory dwelling unit. 1) Repair and restore the existing house, including foundation leveling, removal of a rear addition, restoration of the infilled front porch and relocation of windows and the front door to the front wall of the house. Work will entail repair and selective replacement of damaged or deteriorated shingles at the skirting, horizontal wood siding, trim, and knee braces. Brick porch columns and chimney will be repaired. Windows will be removed prior to foundation leveling for off-site restoration. New windows and doors will be similar to existing. The front steps will be rebuilt to be code compliant. 2) Construct a rear dormer to match the existing front dormer and add windows at the side-facing gable ends. 3) Construct a two-story accessory dwelling unit at the rear of the property. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-and-a-half story, rectangular-plan, side-gabled frame Craftsman bungalow with a central, partial-width, front-gabled dormer; single, paired, and triple fenestration in 1:1, 6:1, and 9:1 patterns; exterior brick chimney. It appears that the original front porch of the house was infilled, and that the windows currently on the front of the house were the original windows before the porch was infilled. The house appears to have been built around 1915 by William M. and Lettie Webster Davis, both teachers at the Texas School for the Deaf. Lettie Webster Davis was originally from Grayson County, Texas, and moved to Austin around 1903. She first boarded with noted deaf teacher William H. Davis, at his home on Newning Avenue (a city historic landmark). She married William M. Davis, a teacher in the manual department of the deaf institute, in 1911, and four years later either built or moved in to this house on Brackenridge Street, where they lived until William passed away in 1947 after a close- to-40-year career in deaf education. After his death, Lettie Davis moved to a house on Oakland Avenue in West Austin, across the street from her family’s home, where her sisters still resided. Both William and Lettie Davis taught at the Deaf School during a time of great upheaval in the methods of teaching deaf students and successfully adapted their teaching methods accordingly. As educators moved away from sign language in favor of …

From: To: Subject: Date: Michael Murray PAZ Preservation 503 E. Annie Wednesday, April 14, 2021 9:47:10 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** To: Elizabeth Brummett We are writing to express our support for the demolition of 503 E Annie Street. We know the owners, who live next door at 501 E Annie, to be thoughtful and considerate neighbors seeking to build a fully accessible structure connected to their current home for both sets of their aging parents. Further delaying a decision to release the demolition permit when it has already been established by the City staff that the current home does not meet any criteria for landmark designation calls into question the motivation behind such action. This is a circumstance of children performing a most selfless act of tender care. To stand in their way without justifiable cause seems oddly unfair.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS APRIL 26, 2021 HR-2021-044151 1304 BOB HARRISON STREET D.5 – 1 PROPOSAL Partially demolish a ca. 1924 house; construct a rear addition. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The proposed project involves ten parts: 1) Replacement of the front porch. The new porch will have a slightly larger footprint with full-width steps leading to a concrete deck and a flat metal roof supported by clad-wood steel members at the corners. 2) Replacement of all vinyl-sash windows with single-hung clad-wood windows in existing window openings. 3) Replacement of the existing door with a fully glazed wood door and a sidelight. 4) Replacement of the asphalt shingle roof with a metal roof. 5) Addition of skylights on the front (north) and secondary (west) roof slopes. 6) Repair and paint existing wood siding, trim, and rafter tails. 7) Demolition of side and rear additions. 8) Demolition of a rear deck. 9) Construction of a rear addition with a footprint of 600 square feet. The addition consists of 2-story and 1-story portions clad in vertical metal siding and capped by flat roofs. Windows are casement and fixed aluminum-sash. It is set back behind the historic portion of the existing building, nearly 30’ from the front wall. 10) Construction of a concrete deck behind the addition. One-story house clad in board and batten wood siding and capped with a pyramidal roof with exposed rafter tails. Features include vinyl-sash windows, a flush wood replacement door, and two pipe chimneys. A partial-width entry porch has a shed roof covered in corrugated metal and supported by square columns. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH 1304 Bob Harrison was built by Samuel and Clara Posey between 1922 and 1924, replacing two small rental houses on the same lot. Two generations of the Posey family lived in the house for more than 45 years, until at least 1969, and appraisal district records show that the Poseys sold the house in 1998, after 75 years of ownerships. Samuel Smith Posey was born in 1860 in Texas. By 1870, he was living with his family in Travis County, where his father worked as a field laborer. Samuel worked as a laborer for the Austin Gas Light Co. in 1909, then later for the Kuntz- Sternenberg Lumber Co. as a stacker in the 1920s. He married Jennie Stamps in 1893, and the couple had at least six children. In 1900, the family was living …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS APRIL 26, 2021 HR-2021-044071 803 W. JAMES STREET D.6 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Demolish a ca. 1935 house and non-historic accessory building (built 1999, not evaluated for significance). One-story rectangular-plan house with board and batten wood siding, side-gabled roof, partial-width porch, and 4-over-4 wood-sash windows. The house at 803 W. James Street was built around 1936 by James A. and Clara M. Hobbs (nee Polvado). James Hobbs was born around 1883 in Texas. He managed a gas station (1937) and later worked as a serviceman for the Austin Phonograph Co. (1944, 1941). James and Clara divorced in the late 1930s, and James moved out of the house by 1944. He died in Austin in 1961. Clara Mae Polvado was born in 1917 in Austin, where her father was a construction worker. In 1920 the family was living in Fort Worth. Clara married James Hobbs before 1934, and the couple had two children before divorcing in the late 1930s. Clara married Clinton Cayce in 1939; the next year, the couple was living with her parents on Haskell Street. They had at least two children together. Clara was living in Lockhart and working at the State Hospital when she died in 1964. From around 1944 until at least 1959, Robert L. and Willie Hobbs lived in the house. Robert was born in 1882 in Texas. He worked as farm laborer in Burnet (1900 and 1910) and Nueces County (1920) and a custodian at the University of Texas during the 1940s and possibly the 1930s. Robert Hobbs died in 1960 in Austin. Willie Hobbs was born in 1888 in San Saba, Texas, where her father worked as a farmer. She married Robert Hobbs around 1905, and the couple had at least eight children. In 1910, the Hobbs family was living in Burnet, where Willie worked as a laborer on their farm. By 1920, they had moved to Nueces County. In 1930, the family was living in East Austin on Willow Street, where Robert worked as a laborer and Willie worked as a janitor at a high school. They moved to W. James Street by 1944. Willie Hobbs died in 1977 in Austin. STAFF COMMENTS The house does not appear to be eligible for designation as a historic landmark. Historic landmarks must meet the following criteria: 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) …

A STATE-OF-THE-ART ARCHIVAL HISTORY CENTER FOR AUSTIN! Progress and planning update, April 2021 Conceptual rendering by Evan Taniguchi, Taniguchi Architects, Board of Directors & Past President of AHCA The Austin History Center (AHC), part of the Austin Public Library (APL) system, is a rapidly growing asset for Austin’s future. For 41 years, the Austin History Center Association (AHCA) has advocated to develop this destination-venue for ALL of Austin. The visionary passage of bonds by Austin voters in 2012 and 2018 is enabling critical infrastructure updates and repairs to the Faulk Library and the Austin History Center. AHCA shares an update about our aggressive pursuit of a critical path of planning activities: 1. In 2018, AHCA leaders and staff partnered with AHC staff and community stakeholders in a dynamic visioning process commissioned by APL and led by Gensler. Gensler’s report, Re- imagining the Faulk; Vision Project; Report on the Future of the Faulk Library Building - January 2019, strongly re-affirmed that archival use was the most desired outcome for the Faulk Building. 2. In 2019, AHCA committed to raise funds for a Master Plan to guide redeveloping and repurposing the 1978 Faulk Library building, the adjacent 1933 Library building, and the flex- space in between. To date, AHCA has raised $53,050 toward this goal. A Master Plan will support and facilitate our visioning process for programming and civic use that is compelling, engaging, attractive, accessible, and pertinent to the diverse history of ALL of Austin and its visitors. 3. In 2019, AHCA received a $12,000 donor grant to hire three graduate students at Texas State University’s School of Public History for Fall 2020-Spring 2021. These outstanding interns are tasked with researching master planning and programming at similar large American history centers, including the Houston Metropolitan Research Center, Atlanta History Center and San Diego History Center. They have also focused on the use of emergent technologies for history centers and archives to engage the public and provide dynamic and appealing exhibit ideas for the AHC Master Plan. Following the interns’ research, incoming AHCA President Kent Collins toured/ visited with Executive Staff of the Atlanta History Center this April! AHCA Executive Director Jeff Cohen also plans a July 2021 visit to the Atlanta History Center. 4. Ongoing tireless efforts to grow the profile and footprint of the AHCA in the Austin community have resulted in nearly 700 annual members for our organization. Our …
