HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS APRIL 26, 2021 GF-2021-007465 WEST LINE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1007 MAUFRAIS STREET C.1 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Partially demolish and construct additions to a ca. 1941 house. Demolish detached garage. Construct pool. 1) Demolish back and side walls of house and existing additions. 2) Construct a two-story addition to the rear of the house. The two-story portion features a flat roof, covered side porch, horizontal siding, and vertically oriented fixed windows. 3) Construct a front addition. The proposed addition, attached to the existing building via glass hyphen, has a gabled roof with shallow eaves, horizontal siding, and fixed undivided windows. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Cross-gabled, single-story house with metal roof, horizontal wood siding, paired front doors, partial-width front porch, and 1:1 single and mulled windows with 2:2 screens. The house at 1007 Maufrais Street was built in 1941 by Houston C. Piland and his wife, Nettie. Piland worked as a railway clerk and claim adjustor. The Pilands lived in the home for the rest of the 1940s, then sold it to mechanical and electrical contractor Ernest Jernigan, along with spouse Mildred Jernigan. The Jernigans did not stay long; by 1955, the Lawson family was renting the home. Opal Lawson worked for the Travis County tax assessor, and her husband Marvin was a mechanic with the Constant Service Company. After a brief vacancy, Robert Finlay purchased the house in 1959, then constructed an addition in 1961. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW 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: 1.1 Locate additions to the rear and sides of historic buildings to minimize visual impact. 1.2 Step back side additions from the front wall a distance that preserves the shape of the historic building from the street. 1.3 If an addition adds a story to the historic building, set it back from the front wall to minimize visual impact. 1.5 Minimize the loss of historic fabric by connecting additions to the existing building through the least possible invasive location and means. The proposed two-story addition is located to the rear and side of the historic building. The one-story addition is located to the side of the historic building. The two-story portion is located beyond …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS APRIL 26, 2021 HR-2021-029755 CLARKSVILLE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1104 TOYATH STREET C.2 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE Demolish a ca. 1922 contributing house. One-story gable-roofed house with full-width porch, clad in horizontal wood siding with board-and-batten at gable end. Fenestration includes 1:1 wood windows and an offset front door that may have once been paired. The roof is clad in seamed metal and features exposed rafter tails. RESEARCH The building at 1104 Toyath Street was built around 1922. In its earliest years, the lot hosted a rental property owned by laundress Luisa Roberts, who hosted up to four tenant families at a time. Most tenants worked as laborers or in the service industry. Renter Walter Carrington purchased the property between 1918 and 1920; newspaper records indicate that the current house was built in 1922. Carrington worked at Butler Bricks before becoming a carpenter; his wife, Josephine Johnson Carrington, worked as a cook. Their son, Ralph Carrington, was a painter and contractor. Despite legal trouble, including a 1941 murder charge reported in the Statesman, Ralph Carrington took possession of the home after 1958 and remained there for at least ten years. He constructed two additions to the house: one in 1948 for his mother, and another in 1968. STAFF COMMENTS The house is listed as a contributing building in a 2018 inventory of the Clarksville National Register Historic District. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it may meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building displays some Craftsman and vernacular influences b. Historical association. The Commission may wish to consider Walter and Josephine Carrington’s status as long-term Clarksville residents who rented, then owned, their property—one of the limited paths to homeownership for Black residents in segregated twentieth-century Austin. 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 …
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 …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS APRIL 26, 2021 PR-2021-038041 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1710 MOHLE DRIVE C.5 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1939 house. 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.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS APRIL 26, 2021 HR-2021-044123 907 WEST 22ND ½ STREET D.10 – 1 Relocate a ca. 1926 house to a property outside the city limits. PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH STAFF COMMENTS One-story cross-gabled Craftsman bungalow clad in horizontal wood siding, with 1:1 wood windows covered by 6:1 wood screens and a partial-width porch supported by masonry piers and tapered wood box columns. Decorative details include exposed rafters, triangular knee braces, and jigsawn bargeboards. A flat-roofed, asbestos-shingle-clad addition extends to the rear of the original building. The house at 907 W 22nd ½ Street was built in 1926 for Percy A. McDannell and his family. McDannell, an adjuster for the State Board of Industrial Accidents, lived there for about ten years with his mother and daughter. By 1937, the home had become a rental property; notable renters included Grady Faubion, treasurer of the Lower Colorado River Authority, and his wife and son.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS APRIL 26, 2021 GF-2021-050281 905 EAST 2ND STREET D.12 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Partially demolish and construct a two-story rear and side addition to a one-story ca. 1906 house. 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. By 1959, butcher Tom Resendez and his wife Mary were the home’s primary residents; they remained there until at least 1968. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW 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 at potential historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1.1 Locate additions to the rear and sides of historic buildings to minimize visual impact. 1.3 If an addition adds a story to the historic building, set it back from the front wall to minimize visual impact. a. 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. Recommendation: Locate additions behind the rear wall of the …

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 …

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.

ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story National Folk residence clad in board-and-batten siding. It features a pyramidal hipped roof clad in corrugated metal, exposed rafter tails, an inset partial-width porch supported by boxed columns, and screened 1:1 windows. The house at 2040 East Cesar Chavez Street was constructed around 1927 by Christian and Charlotte Kofahl for their family. The Kofahls were both born in Oldsloe, Germany and settled in Austin in 1878; Christian Kofahl was a successful barber and operated several barbershops and ladies’ hair salons, including for the Driskill. Kofahl was an active member of the German Lutheran church, serving as one of the first elders of St. Martin’s Evangelical Lutheran Church; the organization’s first building of worship was constructed in 1885 on land donated by Christian Kofahl. Kofahl died in 1930, and his family vacated the home. From 1932 into the 1940s, the property became primarily a rental house, with short-term residents including electricians, mechanics, salesmen, and bookkeepers. During the 1940s, it was occupied by a serviceman, a firefighter, and a driver and their families. By 1954, Otis Roe lived in the home and operated his service station across the street at 2027 East Cesar Chavez Street. In 1957, Albert G. and Zelma Gonzales purchased the house; they sold it two years later to Rosa M. Gillian. STAFF COMMENTS The 2016 East Austin historic resource survey lists the property as eligible for local landmark designation and individual listing on the National Register of Historic Places, as well as contributing to a potential local historic district and contributing to a potential National Register Historic District.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS APRIL 26, 2021 HR-2021-039343 SMOOT/TERRACE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 612 HIGHLAND AVENUE B.5 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct a 1-story house with a lower level and partial basement; renovate the existing garage. The proposed project is a 1-story house clad in stucco and capped by a combination hipped and flat roof covered in standing- seam metal. Features include a shed-roofed front dormer, full-height fixed and casement steel-sash windows, a fully glazed steel-frame front door, and a stucco chimney. Concrete steps provide access to a full-width, 11’ deep front porch with a low brick wall, steel railing with metal mesh panel, and flat metal roof with wood soffit. A screened porch on the south is capped by a low-pitched roof and set back 51’ from the front wall. A lower-level opening to the rear of the property is minimally visible from the street. An existing detached garage is proposed to be renovated. Changes include replacement of horizontal wood siding with board and batten hardiplank siding, replacement of the garage doors, and in-kind replacement of the roof covering. The garage is accessed by the rear alley and not visible from Highland Avenue. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Smoot/Terrace Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the 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. The building sits on the previous historic building’s footprint (destroyed by fire), with the same orientation and distance as contributing buildings on the block. The project meets this standard. 2. Setbacks for new construction shall be consistent with setbacks of the district’s contributing houses. The building’s setback aligns with the adjacent contributing building on the south. The project meets this standard. 4. Design new buildings so that they are compatible with, but differentiated from, historic buildings in the district.
