A.1 - 1 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET HLC DATE: PC DATE: July 27, 2020 August 24, 2020 September 28, 2020 CASE NUMBER: HDP-2020-0214 APPLICANT: Historic Landmark Commission HISTORIC NAME: Chrysler Air-Temp House, Air-Conditioned Village WATERSHED: Shoal Creek ADDRESS OF PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE: 2502 Park View Drive ZONING FROM: SF-2 to SF-2-H Council District: 7 SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Commission not recommend historic zoning on this house as the owners of the property have proposed a plan for the rehabilitation of the house that will preserve the look and character of the house from the street. The owners have complied with the recommendations of the Architectural Review Committee, and have presented a plan (attached) that maintains the existing proportions and horizontal lines of the existing house, including decorative features such as the perforated brick walls and the clerestory windows, and plan to replace asbestos panels in the house with a less-toxic synthetic spandrel material that will present the same look as existing. Windows will be replaced in the existing frames with double-insulated glass. The owner’s proposal is very sensitive to the historic character of the house and the importance and context of the neighborhood. With this plan, staff is very comfortable in recommending against historic zoning because the house will be preserved; the appearance and character of the house from the public view will remain intact. QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: Architecture, historical associations, community value. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: July 27, 2020: Initiated historic zoning. Vote: 7-2-1 (Jacob and Papavasiliou opposed; McWhorter off-dais. August 24, 2020: Postponed at the owner’s request. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The house is beyond the bounds of any City survey to date. CITY COUNCIL DATE: ORDINANCE READINGS: 1ST 2ND 3RD CASE MANAGER: Steve Sadowsky NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION: Allandale Neighborhood Association PHONE: 974-6454 ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: A.1 - 2 BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: Architecture: One-story, rectangular -plan, shallow front-gabled mid-century Modern-styled wood frame house with rectangular asbestos panels set into a metal framing system on the front and back, and wood siding on secondary elevations. The house has fixed-sash and horizontal- sliding fenestration with a row of clerestory windows bridging the space between the asbestos panel section and the slightly-pitched roof, which is notable for its deep eaves.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0231 2609 SAN PEDRO STREET A.2 - 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Demolish a ca. 1935 house, originally constructed as a duplex. Two-story frame hipped-roof duplex with horizontal wood siding, 6:6 wood windows, composition shingles, and a second-floor balcony. The building at 2609 San Pedro Street was originally a duplex, built in 1935 as a rental property for medical journalist Josephine Draper Daniel. Daniel resided down the block at another rental property on Salado Street until she moved to San Pedro after 1944. After the 1914 death of her husband, physician F. E. Daniel, Josephine Daniel took over his position as editor of the Texas Medical Journal for the next thirty years. F. E. Daniel, a former Confederate army surgeon and Texas Medical College professor, founded the journal in 1885. It later became the most influential medical publication of its time in Texas. Prior to her tenure as editor, Josephine Daniel contributed as founder of the Texas Medical Journal’s “Women’s Department” section since 1912, appealing to a wider demographic than the predominantly male medical field. As editor, Daniel introduced her audience to early tenets of feminism in healthcare and openly contradicted the eugenicist positions championed by her late husband. In a fall 2001 article for The Historian, entitled “The Woman's Department: Maternalism and Feminism in the Texas Medical Journal,” historian Courtney Shah describes Daniel’s evolution as a journalist: Josephine Daniel, although not openly recommending a radical feminist political platform, quietly introduced feminist ideas to her maternalist audience as well as many male physicians. The Women’s Department walked a narrow path between deference to medical and societal experts, and a demand to liberate women from the very institutions the experts represented: the sexual hierarchy of the family, the medical profession, and the state […] [As editor] she [promoted] her own two-pronged campaign of reform: maternalist issues such as reducing infant mortality and pure food laws, and the more radical feminist edge of birth control and women’s emancipation. (Shah 2001, 96-97) Daniel wrote frankly about the importance of reproductive education, stating that "The health and happiness of every girl demands that she receive when approaching adolescence an intelligent presentation of the vital life process” (95). In 1929, Daniel sold the journal and devoted her time to women’s health and literacy advocacy in Austin. She led an active civic life as a state board …

"The department you are establishing... along this line, giving women good, wholesome knowledge without the taint of quackery is a most worthy undertaking and deserves hearty support,"1 he wrote. The Texas Medical Journal, the most popular and long-standing independent medical journal in the state, was the creation of Dr. Ferdinand Eugene Daniel. His wife, Josephine Draper Daniel, founded the Woman's Department as an insert within the pages of the TMJ. Like so many journalists and activists in the Progressive Era, Josephine used maternalism as a justification to expand women's roles in the public sphere, as well as to justify her own ambitions. But while she usually stressed conservative reforms that did not challenge the dominant model of family life or women's place within it, Josephine Daniel simultaneously presented two curious lines of dissent. First, she challenged the TM/s (and thus her husband's) pro-eugenics stance; and second, she introduced a veneer of radical feminism into the publication, expressed mainly in a more open attitude toward women's sexuality. As Americans coped with the harsh realities of industrialization, urbanization, and immigration in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, a reform-minded cadre of well educated, middle-class men and women saw the possibility for change to eradicate the …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION AUGUST 24, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0293 2816 SAN PEDRO STREET A.3 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1924 house. ARCHITECTURE 2816 San Pedro is a 1.5-story stucco residence with rectangular Cape Cod plan. It is side-gabled with a composite-shingle roof, three gabled dormers with 1:1 wood windows and lap siding, and a gabled portico supported by Classical columns. At the main elevation’s southernmost bay is a bank of 4:4 and 6:6 mulled windows framed with decorative shutters. The northernmost bay contains a single 12:12 window with similar shutters. The inset door is surrounded by a fanlight and sidelights. A hipped-roof addition to the south features 2:2 windows and a secondary double- door entry. A detached two-story garage apartment is northwest of the main house. RESEARCH The building at 2816 San Pedro Street was constructed for the Wyse family around 1924. William Riley Wyse, an independent oilman with ties to Austin’s power and water company, passed away shortly after its construction. Ellen Borroughs Wyse, his spouse, remained there with her son and daughter-in-law. Ellen Wyse was a prominent writer, editor, and business owner in Austin. Early in her career, Wyse served as the society editor for the Austin Statesman, then expanded her literary horizons to include her life’s passion: advertising. She established Gossip Advertising in 1911 at the age of thirty-eight, beginning with a single-page newspaper insert. By the 1920s, Gossip had grown into a multi-page publication and household name among Austinites, particularly women. The paper’s offices were located first at the Austin National Bank Building and later at the Scarbrough Building, as noted on its state historical marker. After more than thirty years of continuous publication, Wyse’s declining health shuttered Gossip’s pressroom in 1945. In addition to owning and operating a successful business—an extraordinary accomplishment for a woman in the early twentieth century—Wyse used her talent and charisma to reach out to other women writers. She presented to the Texas Presswomen’s Association across the state, sharing strategies for entering the male-dominated advertising field and establishing successful marketing tactics with a targeted and loyal readership. She was a founding member of the Quill Club (later, the Kwill Klub), a women’s organization that blossomed from a small collection of writers to a thriving consortium whose meetings included educators, librarians, professional authors (including Josephine Daniels, editor of the Texas Medical Journal, who also lived on San Pedro), prominent …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS B.4 - 1 SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 C14H-2010-0024 WILDER HOUSE 1412 WATHEN AVENUE PROPOSAL Replace the metal roof with a similar metal roof. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The applicant proposes to replace the existing metal roof with a new metal roof, as it is beginning to fail and the existing roof is no longer manufactured. The existing roof is original to the house. The house was designed in the French Provincial style by Houston architect Armon E. Mabry; the roof, with its distinctive lines, is integral to the design of the house. The applicant proposes to replace the front one-third of the roof with a custom product to match the existing failing sections of the roof. The proposed product for the front of the house is Kynar 1.5 Snap-Lock system with a classic batten; this is a custom product that comes as close to the existing standing seam metal roof as possible in terms of material thickness and dimensions. The existing standing seam and batten is 2 inches wide; the proposed replacement will be just under 2 inches wide. The existing standing seam and batten is 1.75 inches high; the replacement will be 1.5 inches tall. The differences between the dimensions of the existing and proposed roof are between 1/8 and ¼ of an inch. The proposed roof will be 24-gauge metal. For the middle section of the roof, the applicant proposes a Kynar 1.5” tall Snap-Lock 24g metal roof system with a seam of three-quarters of an inch. This section of the roof is not visible from the street. STANDARDS 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) 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 metal roof is failing and must be replaced to ensure the preservation of the house. 5) Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved. Evaluation: The existing ca. 1950 metal roof is no longer manufactured; the applicant is proposing a modern replacement that will be visually indistinguishable from the existing. 6) Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS B.5 - 1 SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 C14H-1982-0004 MILLER-SEARIGHT HOUSE 5400 FREIDRICH LANE PROPOSAL Replace all windows in the house. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The applicant proposes to replace all the windows in the historic house with a solid vinyl window as shown in the accompanying literature. The applicant has conducted a survey of the condition of all the windows in the house and has chosen to replace them all at the same time to maintain uniformity of appearance. Some of the windows are beyond repair. STANDARDS 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) 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: Replacing all of the windows in the house will affect the historic character of the property. The original wood windows are a big part of the historic appearance and character of the house. 5) Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved. Evaluation” The existing wood windows are a distinctive material on this property. The proposed solid vinyl windows will not present the same appearance. 6) Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design, color, texture, and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence. Evaluation: The applicant has conducted a window survey to determine the condition of each window on the house and its prospect for repair or rehabilitation. Any windows that are beyond repair due to their deterioration should be replaced in kind, or another wood window that maintains the profile and configuration of the existing historic windows. Design standards in place for local historic districts in Austin prohibit the use of vinyl windows on any street-facing elevation. 9) New additions and adjacent or related construction will be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired. Evaluation: If the Commission approves the proposed windows, they could be replaced at a …

C.1 - 1 PROPOSAL APPLICATION FOR A PERMIT WITHIN A NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION SIXTH STREET NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 HR-20-107348 319-323 E. 6TH STREET Construct a tall one-story addition to three contributing buildings within the Sixth Street National Register Historic District. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The applicant proposes the construction of a continuous one-story addition across three one- story buildings that would be contributing to the Sixth Street National Register Historic District. The proposed addition will be set back 15 feet back from the front wall of the existing buildings, with an open deck in front. The applicant proposes to remove an existing deck cover from the building, giving the proposed addition a clean look from the street. The existing metal railing on the building will be painted in a muted tone to lessen its visibility. The addition will have painted horizontal lap siding, a wooden cornice treatment that takes its cue from the one-story buildings on the street, aluminum and glass overhead doors; aluminum and glass single leaf doors opening onto the deck will have transoms, keeping the fenestration line even and clean. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are used to evaluate projects in National Register historic districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1. A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires minimal change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and environment. Evaluation: These are three commercial buildings that have become bars and night clubs over the years. The use of the proposed addition is not incompatible with the long-standing use of the ground-floor buildings, and is set back 15 feet from the wall to provide a visual distance between old and new. 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 shall be avoided. Evaluation: These three buildings are one-story commercial buildings. The proposed addition is one story with a taller cornice, but the height of the fenestration on the addition comports to the height of the fenestration and storefronts on the ground story. The proposed addition is recessed and fades into the background; it is very compatible with the historic character of the existing building. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or …
