01 March 2021 Claman Residence 1517 Murray Lane Austin, Texas Historic Review Application Proposed Work Structure 1. Due to the age and condition of the existing foundations, demolition and replacement of the existing foundation and ground floor slab is required to meet existing structural requirements and codes. The new foundations will match the current footprint of the original house on the North, West and South sides of the structure, with one exception. Currently, the North elevation projects 6” into the 5’ set back and this will be pulled back to align with the required set back. 2. Due to the replacement of the foundations, most if not all of the framing, except for the west wall at the first floor will be replaced to allow for proper replacement of the foundations. Front Façade – West Elevation 1. The original façade: siding, trim, porch roof and supports, will be maintained. Any elements that are damaged will either be repaired or replaced with similar profile components. The current wall shall be brought up to current energy efficiency guidelines. 2. Existing double hung window sashes will be replaced with new sashes to match the existing size and will incorporate insulated glass panels. Removable wood insect screens will be provided at all double hung windows. Original window trim will be reused unless damaged beyond repair. Any replacement materials will match the profile and size of the existing trim. 3. Extensions of the existing porch roof will be added to the north and south. The detailing and trim will match the existing porch structure. 4. The existing “eyebrow” windows will be replaced with new, operable “eyebrow” windows that are sized and located so that natural light is brought into the interior and establishes visual access to the exterior. The width and detailing of the “eyebrow” windows will be similar to the existing windows and are in keeping with the original aesthetic of the house. The original windows will be preserved for future use. 5. The existing asphalt shingle roof needs to be replaced due to its condition and age. The new roof material will be a synthetic slate or similar asphalt shingle profiled roof that is keeping with the aesthetic style of the original house. Side Façades – South and North Elevations 1. The existing framing, siding, trim will be removed and examined for possible reuse. The window sashes will be new, but match the …

C.4 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS MARCH 22, 2021 GF-2021-014474 1510 WEST 24TH STREET OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT PROPOSAL Demolish a contributing outbuilding and construct an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish a ca. 1953 carport with attached storage shed. 2) Rebuild existing retaining wall. 3) Construct a new ADU. The proposed ADU is two stories, with an open carport on the ground level and living space above, supported by exposed steel beams. It is clad in board-and-batten siding. The compound hipped, shed, and gabled roof is clad in standing-seam metal, and exposed rafter tails are visible at north, south, and east elevations. A metal guardrail surrounds the covered porch and elevated walkway. The east elevation includes a screened porch. RESEARCH The house at 1510 W. 24th Street was built in 1946 by Major General Arthur Balfour Knickerbocker, Texas State Adjutant, after his resignation as leader of the Texas National Guard. An Odessa native, Knickerbocker helped to organize the state guard there and served as commander until his 1942 appointment by Governor Coke Stevenson. After leaving the Guard in 1946, Knickerbocker and his family left their Camp Mabry living quarters and constructed this home in Pemberton Heights. The carport and attached storage shed were built in 1953 by subsequent owner-occupants Raleigh R. Ross, a physician, and his family. Dr. Ross served as chief of surgery at Brackenridge Hospital before climbing to chief of staff and, for a time, interim superintendent. During the 1950s and beyond, Ross chaired the State Board of Hospitals and Special Schools. Ross also served as president of the Travis County Medical Society and sat on the Board of Trustees for the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Crippled Children, among other hospital boards. In a 1980 American-Statesman article, Ross is credited with helping to modernize Austin’s medical system after World War II. Lucy Ellen Steck Ross, daughter of reporter and banker Lena Riddle Steck and local printer E. L. Steck, was president of the Junior League and participated in numerous other charity societies. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are used to evaluate new construction projects in National Register historic districts. Applicable standards include: 2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property …

B.5 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS MARCH 22, 2021 SMOOT-TERRACE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 803 PRESSLER STREET PROPOSAL Construct a new accessory dwelling unit and garage behind a non-contributing building. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Remove garage from rear of non-contributing house. 2) Construct detached garage with apartment above. The proposed new L-plan building is two stores, clad in horizontal siding with a cross-gabled roof and second-floor shed dormer at the east elevation. Fenestration includes irregularly placed, undivided fixed and casement windows of varying dimensions, two rooftop skylights, fully glazed sliding door, and a front-facing garage door. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Smoot-Terrace Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1. New construction shall have the same street orientation and distance from adjacent buildings as the contributing buildings in the same block. 3. Setbacks for new construction of a new auxiliary building, such as a garage, shall be consistent with setbacks of the district’s contributing auxiliary buildings by taking the average of the existing setbacks of contributing auxiliary buildings on the same block face, or by aligning with the setback of one adjacent contributing auxiliary buildings. This may allow setbacks that are shallower than the base zoning. The proposed ADU has the same street orientation as others in the district. It is set back 5’ and 6’ from the front and side walls of the existing non-contributing house and approximately 71’ from the street. 4. Design new buildings so that they are compatible with, but differentiated from, historic buildings in the district. The proposed building is differentiated from historic buildings in the district by its steeper roof pitch and modern window materials and configurations. The design’s simplicity enhances compatibility, though the street-facing garage door is less compatible. 5. For new residential buildings, garages shall be set back at least 15 feet from the front wall of the building (excluding the porch). The proposed garage apartment is set back approximately 46’ from the front wall of the existing house. 6. Protect large trees from damage during construction and from delayed damage due to construction activities. All applicants must coordinate with the appropriate City departments to coordinate tree protection during demolition and construction. The project mostly meets the applicable standards. COMMITTEE FEEDBACK Consider garage relocation. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the plans. B.5 - 2

The house at 1517 Murray Lane was constructed in 1927-28 by William H. and Delle M. Morley. Morley was the son of W.J. Morley, proprietor of Morley Brothers Druggists, the oldest continuously operating pharmacy and wholesale drug manufacturer in Austin at the time. W.J. Morley and his brother famously employed author Sidney Porter (pseudonym O. Henry), in the latter half of the 19th century. The Morley Brothers Building at 209 East 6th Street is a City of Austin Landmark. S.K. Morley’s house at 510 Baylor Street is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is also an Austin landmark. S.K. Morley, William H. Morley’s uncle, does not appear to be associated with the Morley drug manufacturing business after the sale of the 6th Street drugstore in the early 1930s. However, William H. Morley continued to run the drug manufacturing and wholesale business from his home at 1517 Murray Lane. Morley’s products were sold under multiple manufacturer names, including Cactus …
