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 Carriers and Kinnans resided at 2407 Jarratt until the 1950s. Shorter-term tenants included students and professors at the University of Texas, salespeople, a secretary, and a clerk.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS MARCH 22, 2021 HR-2021-027327 73 RAINEY STREET RAINEY STREET NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT C.8 - 1 PROPOSAL Restore siding and columns and replace windows and roof on a ca. 1914 contributing building. Reclad and expand existing addition. Add window wall to rear elevation. Construct new outbuilding at rear. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Restore original teardrop siding and trim. Replace missing columns and remove non-original column at west elevation. 2) Construct accessible route to porch at main elevation. 3) Install a new standing-seam metal roof. 4) Replace vinyl windows with 1:1 double-hung wood windows at main and side elevations, replicating historic trim and profile from photo. 5) Construct a rear outbuilding and modify addition at east elevation. Addition will not increase height of existing 2014 addition. The proposed addition will be clad in Corten metal siding and feature operable doors. Its flat-roofed profile will remain. The proposed outbuilding will have weathered cedar board- and-batten siding and a simple gabled roof that mirrors the roof slope of the main building. 6) Remove illegal tent. 7) Remove rear wall and replace with full-height window wall and matching teardrop siding. ARCHITECTURE A 2012 Historic Preservation Office report describes the original architecture: The existing c. 1914 house is an approximately 1,220 sq. ft., one-story, Greek Revival cottage with a pyramidal roof form and partial width, inset front porch. The house has minimal Greek Revival details, such as the slender, un-fluted columns and simple frieze trim under the eaves. There are two entry doors from the front porch and two double-hung, wood windows on the façade. The porch has a low railing with turned spindles and the house is sided with narrow, drop siding, and has a composition shingle roof. Modifications since 2012 include the addition of a shipping container “garage” at the north elevation, replacement wood siding, window replacements, and removal of the Classical porch columns at the main elevation. RESEARCH The house at 73 Rainey Street was constructed as a rental property around 1914. Grocer Joseph Hubert Zimpelman and his family lived there until they moved into their shop at 902 East 1st Street (now East Cesar Chavez Street) during the early 1920s. Until 1935, the building housed short-term occupants, including a printer, a mechanic, a salon manager, and theater employees. Otto O. and Lillie Schlueder resided at 73 Rainey Street for at least the next …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION MARCH 22, 2021 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HR-2021-029755 CLARKSVILLE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1104 TOYATH STREET C.9 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1922 contributing house. ARCHITECTURE 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 named 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 to high integrity. 3) Properties must meet two historic designation criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). The property may demonstrate significance according to City Code: a) Architecture. The building displays Craftsman 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 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 …
