HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS FEBRUARY 28, 2022 HR-2021-205974 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK 804 RUTHERFORD PLACE C.1– 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish a contributing duplex and detached carport. Construct a new single-family residence with pool and two-story cabana. 1) Total demolition of existing contributing duplex and detached carport. 2) Construction of new single-family residence with pool and two-story cabana. The proposed primary building is two stories with a habitable attic and roof deck. It features an irregular flat, gabled, and shed roofline; fixed-pane and casement full-light fenestration in irregular pattern; stucco cladding; and a front-facing garage. The pool cabana is two stories in height with stucco cladding, a gabled roofline, and fixed-pane windows on two elevations; the west and south secondary elevations are windowless. ARCHITECTURE The 2020 Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register Nomination lists 804 Rutherford Place as the only example of a representative domestic property constructed with a “mixed” architectural style. This unique eclecticism includes Mission, Tudor Revival, and Swiss influences. The nomination’s description is as follows: The small apartment building at 804 Rutherford Place is a good example of an eclectic, mixed design that draws from three styles, in this case Mission Revival, Tudor Revival, and Swiss. The building is two stories in height, with buff- and tan-colored brick walls and a flat roof. The front elevation has a symmetrical arrangement, with a one-story, partial-width entrance volume extending from the rectangular main building volume. The projecting entrance has Tudor Revival details including an arched entrance door, arched hood molding over the door, narrow windows with decorative shutters, and flared wrought iron stair railings. The main two-story volume has little decoration. It has single 1/1 windows on the first floor and two sets of paired 1/1 windows on the second floor. Its modest Mission Revival details are limited to a narrow, divided light, arched window in the center of the upper floor, and a stepped parapet. The Swiss detailing includes the scalloped bargeboard. All window openings have brick sills, and the parapet coping is brick.1 Notably, the building at 806 Rutherford Place is constructed with a similar plan, form, and fenestration pattern, though 806 Rutherford shows only Mission influences. 806 Rutherford was constructed in 1925 by the Austin Real Estate Abstract Company. 803 E. Riverside Drive, constructed by the same company in 1925 and displaying similar Mission styling to 806 Rutherford, is located immediately behind 804 …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS FEBRUARY 28, 2022 HR-2022-016431; PR 2022-002618 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK 1803 KENWOOD AVE C.10. 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish a circa 1937 single-story residence and replace it with a new construction single-family residence. 1) Total demolition of existing contributing single-family residence built in 1937. 2) Construction of new single-family residence with in-ground pool in rear, garage, and carport. The proposed primary building is a two-story minimalist style. It features a compound roofline; fixed-pane and casement full-light fenestration in irregular pattern; dark grey brick on the exterior first story and light-colored exterior stucco cladding on the slightly overhanging second story. The rear second-story elevation has a small rear balcony with a horizontal metal railing overlooking the pool. Designs indicate a side entry garage and direct neighboring carport located in front of the residence with a horizontal wood fence located directly in front of the carport which shields the carport and garage from direct view from the street. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Wood frame, single-story, residential construction on pier and beam foundation. The structure is of the Minimal Traditional style with a side gable with a front-facing cross gable design. It is typical of minimal traditional design with horizontal wood siding, two sets of symmetrical multi-pane, 6:6 wood windows flanked by slim, simple shutters. There is a small, round gable vent in the front-facing gable façade. The single door entry has a concrete landing and is covered with a wooden awning supported by decorative wooden brackets. The awning is a continuation of the asphalt roof. There is a thin, slightly turned metal balustrade and railing on the front concrete steps and landing. Likely built by the prominent dentist and civic activist, Dr. R.L. Struhall in 1937. Dr. Struhall and wife Lillian Parma moved to 1805 Kenwood by 1942. According to City Directories, in 1941, 1803 Kenwood was owned by Raymond W., Jr. and his wife, Marjorie M. Ramsey. Raymond was employed at the R & R Service Station and they lived in the home until at least 1944. The house continued to be occupied short-term according to City Directory records until it was purchased by Donald B. and Elsie A. Ezell who lived in the home till Mr. Ezell’s death in 1961. The Ezell’s owned and operated The Chicken House Café, a restaurant located at 4201 Alice Avenue. Elsie Ezell was also a local high school …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS FEBRUARY 28, 2022 HR-2022-009233 OLD WEST AUSTIN 2507 HARTFORD ROAD C.12 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish a noncontributing garage and construct a new accessory dwelling unit. 1) Demolish existing garage (ca. 1999). 2) Construct a new ADU. The proposed building is two stories in height, with a compound hipped roof clad in composition shingles to match the main house. The ADU’s exterior is clad in fiber-cement siding and features 1:1 mulled and single aluminum-clad wood windows, as well as fixed windows and a front-facing garage door. RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS The house at 2507 Hartford Road was built around 1951 with an attached garage. It was built for John and Elsie Clemens and their family. John E. Clemens, a CPA, worked as the business manager for the Austin Independent School District. He was also president of Austin’s chapter of the American Kennel Club.1 Permit history shows several remodels to the house and garage during the 1990s and early 2000s, including reworking the home’s parking structure. 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 districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location The proposed ADU is constructed in roughly the same location as the existing garage, at the side and rear of the main house. 2. Orientation The proposed ADU’s orientation is consistent with the existing garage’s orientation, as well as the orientations of other detached garages in the district. 3. Scale, massing, and height While the proposed building is two stories in height, its location at the rear of the lot will likely mitigate its impact to the one-story front house. The applicant may wish to consider removing the projecting bay from the front elevation for enhanced compatibility. 4. Proportions The proposed building’s proportions appear compatible with the existing house and the district as a whole. 5. Design and style The proposed building’s design is relatively simple and appears mostly compatible with the main house. 6. Roofs With the exception of the projecting bay, the house’s hipped roof is compatible with the main house. 7. Exterior walls The proposed horizontal siding is understated and appropriate. 8. Windows and doors The proposed wood-clad aluminum windows and painted garage door appear appropriate.

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS DESIGN STANDARDS The proposed ADU is two stories, with an attached carport, uncovered wood deck, and roof deck. It is clad in fiber-cement siding with metal cable railings at the roof deck and stairwell. Windows are fixed, with varying proportions at each elevation. 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 districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location The proposed ADU is located at the rear of the lot, behind the contributing house. 2. Orientation The proposed ADU’s orientation of the entrance and the carport matches the orientation of contributing buildings and outbuildings in the district. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed ADU is located behind a substantial two-story addition to the original main house, so its two-story height is not obtrusive; however, the roof deck adds an element of height that may be visible from the street. The building’s massing is simple, with a small step-down between floors at the main elevation. 4. Proportions The building’s proportions are somewhat compatible with its surroundings—though its massing is strongly vertical, design elements help to reduce its impact. 5. Design and style Though the proposed building’s overall design is somewhat incompatible with the surrounding district, its position at the rear of the lot renders its overall impact minimal. 6. Roofs The proposed flat roof and roof deck are not compatible with the main house. 7. Exterior walls The proposed fiber-cement horizontal siding is compatible with the main house. 8. Windows and doors The proposed fixed windows and fully-glazed doors are mostly incompatible, though their rhythmic placement somewhat echoes the main house’s design. 11. Attached garages and carports The proposed carport is compatible; though it is not set back from the front wall of the ADU, it is placed far back on the lot and does not affect the view of the contributing house from the street. 9. Porches See 6. Summary The project meets some of the applicable standards. PROPERTY EVALUATION The primary building contributes to the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register district. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Comment on and release the plans. C.13 – …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS FEBRUARY 28TH, 2022 PR-2022-010250; GF-2022-017172 OLD WEST AUSTIN 1510 PEASE ROAD C.15 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Demolish a ca. 1936 multifamily (duplex) residence and detached metal frame covered carport. The structure is a Tudor-style brick construction residence that was built circa 1936 as a multi-family residence (duplex). The residence has a simple side-gabled design easily visible behind two smaller asymmetrical front-facing gables with a 1- unit entrance located on the front facade with an arched door containing a small circular quarter-divided window. The second unit is accessed via a matching door located beneath the side gable on the east elevation where there is a covered porch and decorative metal railing. There is a prominent front-facing chimney with an inward swooping detail above the firebox, flanked by quarter-shaped gable vents. The windows are simple 1:1 wood single pane. Each unit has a rear-covered porch. There is also a rear-covered metal frame carport which is not of significance. This property was built as a multi-family duplex circa 1936 and therefore has a history of tenants although none appeared to live in the property for more than a couple of years. The longest tenant appears to be Donald L. and Donna Hoskins. According to City Directory records, Donald was an Architect for Southerland & Page in 1955 and 1957 when he lived at the duplex. Of historical significance are tenants Juan A. and Carolina R. Merigo-Aza. Juan Antonio Merigo-Aza was the Vice Consular officer at the Mexican Consulate and was a delegate at the Mexico City conference that led to a new International Agreement for Migratory workers in 1951. The Agreement improved living and working conditions for migratory farmers but also provided legislation for the punishment of harboring or concealing those who enter the country without documentation. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Old West Austin National Register district. 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: architectural significance. a. Architecture. The building is a good example of a Tudor-style multi-family residence and does appear to convey b. Historical association. The property does not have significant historical associations. Juan Antonio Merigo-Aza was a prominent local …
Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Stef Schrader Thursday, February 24, 2022 7:55 AM PAZ Preservation Case #PR-2022-010250; GF-2022-017172 *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** To whom it may concern: I am writing against the demolition of the contributing home at 1510 Pease Road (GF 22‐017172). In my short time living a street over, I have noticed the Historic Landmark Commission approve too many demolitions of contributing structures in this area. At this rate, there be little left that defines this historic district! You can stop the bleeding now by denying some permits. Construction—especially the construction at 1601 Woodlawn and 1602 Pease—has made my life an absolute living hell. I have recorded jackhammering loud enough to violate race track sound limits on my front porch. My whole home shakes whenever they're banging on things or operating heavy machinery. Frankly, I have concerns about the build quality of the home going up next to mine as well as a number of their framing boards are ones I'd have left at Home Depot—but that's another story. Noise starts promptly at 7 AM and continues throughout my work day, which has not just interrupted my ability to work from home. Debris from the construction zone has also fallen onto my yard numerous times as well. Does that sound like life in a peaceful historic district to you? One where I can't bear to live in my own home based on the jackhammering nextdoor? Or where I'm constantly worried about nails in my tires? Furthermore, it is my understanding that 1510 Pease is a multifamily structure—the likes of which we need more of to meet Austin's housing needs. I have not seen 1510 Pease's specific plans, but demolishing it for a single‐family home would be a further slap in the face for a community that is in desperate need of enough housing to meet demand. Having lived through two such demolitions nearby already, I have also been appalled at the incredible amount of waste that gets sent to the landfill from the demolition of just one home. We have to be more mindful of the environmental impact of these teardowns as well. It is deeply irresponsible to throw that much away without a good reason, particularly from a livable structure.

We received a notice of public hearing for an application for a demolition permit for 512 East Monroe St. while we were out of town January 16‐19, and I didn’t see it until Thursday the 20th. I don’t understand how the City of Austin could give less than one week notice before a public hearing for a demolition. I have made several attempts to find information about this proposed demolition at https://abc.austintexas.gov/web/permit/public‐search‐other using the case numbers listed in the notice (PR‐2021‐ 200516; GF 22‐001167), but it only returns the answer “No rows returned.” The sign announcing the public hearing was not posted on the property, as it was laying on the ground in the front yard when I went by to look on Thursday the 20th (see attached photo). This house is a good example of the architecture of the Travis Heights‐Fairview Park National Historic District. It is in very good condition and should be preserved as an important part of the neighborhood (see attached photo). I oppose the demolition of this valuable part of our historic neighborhood. Please contact me before the public hearing tomorrow night at 6:00. Thank you, Clifton Ladd 1509 Newning Avenue Please let me know if you have any information about this. ‐‐‐‐ Clif Ladd 1
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS FEBRUARY 28, 2022 HR-2021-207618 SIXTH STREET NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 320 E. 6TH STREET C.3 – 1 PROPOSAL Exterior work to the storefront and entry vestibule; new signage. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Restore paired multi-light doors at the storefront entrance on the west end of the building. The doors are designed to match a historic photograph but be of code-compliant width, resulting in four rather than five doors within the existing masonry opening. Replace the canopy above the entrance on the existing frame. 2) Install a roll-down gate at the entry vestibule. The gate will mount into the concrete columns at either side of the vestibule and will not disturb the historic canopy. 3) Remove existing non-historic signage, patch and repaint stucco wall above the entrance. Install new sign to screen the roll-down gate. The sign will be approximately 16’ wide by 2’-10” in height. Three options are presented: a. Painted aluminum sign with bulbs to match underside of canopy; b. Painted aluminum sign with flat-cut aluminum letters and indirect lighting; or c. Painted aluminum sign with double-stroke neon to match neon on the canopy perimeter. 4) Replace non-original black tile at the recessed theater entrance with new patterned tile. 5) Replace one entry door with a Dutch door to match existing. Movie theater with three-story brick façade spanning two lots. The section at 320 E. 6th St. contains the theater entrance, recessed beneath a projecting metal canopy with rounded corners, studded on the underside with lights and ringed with neon. Above is a blade sign with lighted letters and neon perimeter. To the west at 318 E. 6th is a storefront entrance flush with the façade, consisting of paired glass doors and stucco infill. At the upper levels, picture windows have replaced the historic multi-light double-hung and casement windows. Window openings are set within recessed brick bands. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Jay J. Hegman opened the Ritz Theatre in 1929 at 320 E. 6th St. and expanded the theater to its current configuration encompassing 318 E. 6th St. in 1937. Architect Hugo Kuehne designed the 1937 theater. It was the first in Austin planned specifically for talking pictures. The theater originally served only white customers; later, it became the first integrated theater in Austin, though Black patrons were restricted to the balcony.1 It continued in operation as a movie theater until 1964, after …
320 EAST 6TH ST- THE RITZ The Ritz was built in 1929 by J.J. Hegman, who owned several movie theaters in Austin, Texas. It was the first theater in Austin to be built specifically for the talkies. The architect was Hugo Kuehne, the founding dean of the University of Texas School of Architecture, who also designed the Austin History Center (originally the Austin Public Library). The Ritz was originally a long narrow space, and was segregated like most movie theaters in Texas and other southern states at that time; there was a separate entrance leading to a balcony reserved for people of color.[1] The theater opened on 6th Street on October 13, 1929. It showed primarily first-run westerns with a lower ticket price than any other theater in town and frequently brought in stars like Wild Bill Elliott and Dub Taylor, along with country music acts who performed before the movies.[2] In 1937, Hegman's son Elmo took over management and expanded the theater to 800 seats by widening the theater by 25 feet. He continued showing Westerns until television siphoned off the audience; Elmo closed the theater in 1964.[1] Cary White, the production designer for The Faculty and Spy Kids, amongst other movies, was the projectionist and janitor at the Ritz during some of its last days as a movie house.[3] The theater remained shuttered until 1970, when it re-opened for three years as an adult theater. In October 1974, entrepreneurs Jim Franklin (artist) and Bill Livinggood renovated the theater and opened the doors as a music venue, offering an eclectic mix of programming from classical to rock and including live theater and movies. This was also short-lived, and the club closed in 1975.[4] Several other groups moved in over the years. The Center Stage theater group took it over in 1977, closing off the balcony to make a second, separate theater. Again, the venue didn't last long and the late 1970s saw a serious decline in the theater's fortunes, including another stint into porn exhibition.[5] In 1981, Shannon Sedwick and Michael Shelton took out a lease and turned management over to Craig Underwood, who began running the venue as a punk rock club. Shows such as Black Flag, which inaugurated the punk era on May 7, 1982, The Misfits, Hüsker Dü, The Circle Jerks, The Dead Kennedys, Minor Threat and others showed that there was an audience for hardcore …

C.4 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Replace existing wood windows and wood siding on the front and left side of the house on contributing residence built circa 1936 in the Travis Heights Fairview Park National Register District. 1) Replace existing wood windows, and wood siding on the front and left side of contributing residence built circa 1936 in the Travis Heights Fairview Park National Register District. 2) Windows: Design proposal includes replacing original wood windows with Andersen 100 Series fiberglass windows: single-hung, equal sash, no flange, with a white exterior frame, white sash/panel, and white interior frame, with interior sash/panel. The replacement windows will also have dual-pane, low-E argon fill, and ¾” white muntins, between-the- glass, of a 3 wide x 2 high, colonial pattern. Replacement of windows is needed due to: “energy efficiency (existing windows are leaky and have single-pane glass). Windows don't open and close properly.” (applicant) Replacements will be the 5 front facade windows and the seven windows along the south elevation (left side viewed from the street) as demonstrated in the plan photos. 3) Siding: The design proposal includes replacing all original wood siding from the original part (front façade and sides) with Hardie board to match Hardie siding on later additions to the property. Replacement is needed due to “rot and water damage, flaking and missing siding.” (applicant) ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Wood construction residence of Minimal Traditional style with asymmetrical cross-gabled roof and horizontal wood siding, with significant alterations and additions including 6:6 replacement windows, and additions of entry bay on the front side and rear two-story construction. The home appears to have been built in 1936 by A.R. McTee a journalist for the Austin American Statesman in the early 1930s. The house was then purchased and sold by several owners including Hurley and Alice E. Griffith, owners and manager of the Griffith Wallpaper & Paint Co. circa 1941-1944; Girvin H. and Ethel M. Sanderson, circa 1947-1949, a Professor at the University of Texas; and Charles G. and Vivian Puryear from 1952-1957, owners of Bradshaw & Puryear. Mr. Puryear was a Master Plumber and helped to organize the Mechanical Contractors Association of Austin and the Mechanical Contractor’s Association of Texas which he was a member of for 25 years till his death in 1979.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS FEBRUARY 28, 2022 HR-2022-003635 OLD WEST AUSTIN 1507 NORTHWOOD ROAD C.5 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a two-story addition to a single-story ca. 1935 house. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct a two-story addition. The proposed addition is located at the rear of the house and is clad in stucco. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS One-story stone-clad Tudor Revival house with steeply pitched, compound-gabled roof, arched entryway, decorative stonework trim, multilight bay window with shed roof and exposed rafter tails, and 6:6 screened wood windows. 1507 Northwood Road was constructed in 1935 as a rental property for Milton Burney.1 It had few long-term residents for the first half of the twentieth century; occupants appear to have been mostly University of Texas students, lecturers, and employees. Other short-term residents include a Southern Union salesman, a contractor, and an insurance agent. 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 districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential additions 1. Location The proposed addition is appropriately sited at the back wall of the house. The applicant should consider retaining the unique river-rock finish at the rear gable when attaching the addition. 2. Scale, massing, and height While the proposed addition is two stories in height, its substantial setback minimizes its visual impact to the street view. 3. Design and style The proposed addition’s design and style are appropriate, with compatible but differentiated exterior wall materials to delineate the new portion of the house. 4. Roofs The proposed cross-gabled roofline is simple in design. The applicant should consider architectural shingles matching the existing shingle profile, rather than applying wood shakes where they did not previously exist, as well as omitting the exposed rafter tails at the addition. These changes will help to avoid the appearance of false historicism. 5. Exterior walls The proposed stucco cladding is compatible with the existing stone. 6. Windows, screens, and doors The addition’s proposed fenestration is compatible with the historic portion of the house. 8. Chimneys The proposed addition does not appear to modify existing historic-age chimneys.
