HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 6, 2024 DA-2024-089522 WEST DOWNTOWN AUSTIN HISTORIC DISTRICT 810 WEST 11TH STREET 13.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a contributing property. ARCHITECTURE A wide, double-pitch side-gabled roof dominates the front façade of the house. A dormer vent is present at the center located above and behind a small gable overhang above the front door, which features a modest pair of brackets on either side of it. There are windows on either side of the brackets, and, while similar in size and material, do not match and provide a small amount of asymmetry to the elevation. The windows have been replaced with newer units and feature nonfunctional shutters. There is a concrete porch held two steps above ground in front of the door, with a simple metal handrail all around. The foundation is pier-on-beam, with a vented crawlspace underneath the floor. The house is almost entirely clad in buff brick in good condition, except for the side dormers, which are clad in wood lap siding with vents also present. RESEARCH The house at 810 West 11th Street was built in the early-to-mid 1930s, and the long-term owners for over 20 years were Joseph & Ida Kasper. The former was a furrier and owned a business at 109 East 9th Street in downtown Austin. While living at the address, they housed their children while they studied at the University of Texas. The son, Albert, was a dentistry student who left school to serve in World War II and finished his degree upon his return, graduating in 1945. Their daughter, Beatrice, graduated from university and became a teacher at Baker Junior High School in Hyde Park. She married Stewart Barnett in 1947 and they lived together in the house before moving out sometime after 1949. In 1987, the residence was converted to office use, and has continued in this function to present day. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the West Downtown 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: a. Architecture. The building is a good example of an intact minimal traditional bungalow in the district. b. Historical association. The property does …

From: To: Subject: Date: Attachments: Historic Preservation Office GF 24-104022 Demo Permit for 810 W 11th St ATTN Sam Fahnestock Tuesday, September 3, 2024 10:44:36 AM 810 demo objection.pdf You don't often get email from . Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution I am opposed to the demolition permit. Unfortunately I will be out of the country for the meeting this evening and not able to address the commission. This block of 11th St has been devastated by incremental rulings from the Historic Landmark Commission, Planning and Zoning and ultimately at the council level. We have lost one structure that was identified as contributing to a potential district. Then the property was up-zoned to 60 ft, and it appears that it is now at 90, as is the failed project across the street - Shoal Cycle. Each one uses the previous case as precedent, so soon there will be nothing left on the block. Each time a decision was made everyone said well at least we will get residential. However, there have never been any stipulations on whether that residential would be affordable or even appropriate. There were no stipulations on the demolition. There was no salvaging of perfectly good building materials, no serious attempt ot relocate the wood structure to provide a home for someone who can't afford our astronomically home prices. I urge you to think creatively about how additional housing could be put on this lot, keeping the historic structure. I urge you not to sacrifice another historic neighborhood one lot at a time, without any kind of guide as to where you will eventually end up going. Respectfully, -- Donna D.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 6, 2024 HR-2024-130564; PR-2024-132513 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 3000 BRYKER DRIVE 15.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a single-family residence on a non-contributing property. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construction of a two-story, single-family house on a lot previously occupied by a non-contributing resource to the Old West Austin National Register district. House is proposed to be set on a concrete slab and clad in Austin Common brick. Second floor will feature dormer windows and a steep-pitch roof, with design elements in keeping with the surrounding neighborhood. RESEARCH Shortly after construction, during the 1940s and 1950s, the property at 3000 Bryker Drive saw several successive owners for a few years each. The most notable of these was the family of Frank & Gretchen Cox, who moved to Austin from Iowa to serve as pastor at the Evangelist Church of Christ. During the 1940s, city directory records indicate several children living with them at various times, all of them listed as students. Marriage notifications for three daughters were printed during these years. The 1950s saw the ownership change hands four times, with each household owning the property for less than three years each. DESIGN STANDARDS 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 house is set back to the distances required by city code. Due to the lot shape and curved street, the front of the house is unable to be in continuous line with neighboring contributing properties, but the setback matches and does not negatively stand out. 2. Orientation The house faces towards the street and fits well even with the street curving at the front of the property. 3. Scale, massing, and height Standard 3.2 calls for the massing of new buildings to match nearby contributing buildings. The proposed design matches both size and scale of the district, but the massing is also compatible in form with its neighbors. Floor-to-floor heights are also similar to historic neighbors. 4. Proportions Proportions are appropriate and match neighboring houses. 5. Design and style Architectural details, including the front door gable, the bay window, and roof shape, are appropriate to the historic district. Though appropriate, these details are …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 6, 2024 HR-2024-133706; PR-2024-134463 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1505 TRAVIS HEIGHTS BOULEVARD 16.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a second-floor addition. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Build a second story addition within the current building footprint behind the front gable. The roof assembly for this addition would be a cross gable with ends at the sides of the house to reduce street visibility. The addition, totaling 784 square feet, would be clad in a standing seam metal roofing material that matches what is currently present and likely not original. Overall height of the house would increase slightly, with the highest point of the cross gable located more than halfway behind the front elevation. Original porch and windows are to be retained. A previous application was made at this property and reviewed by HLC in 2021, though work was never started. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS One-story Craftsman bungalow with gabled roof, horizontal wood siding, mulled 1/1 wood windows, and a full-width porch supported by boxed columns on brick piers. Intact decorative details include deep eaves with exposed rafter tails and triangular knee braces at gable ends. The house at 1505 Travis Heights Boulevard was built for Fred and Julia C. Penick before 1924. Fred Penick was a bank teller, cashier, and clerk at the American National Bank for most of his career. Julia Penick, active in various community- building and youth enrichment programs, ran a summer camp with her older children. Fred Penick had previously been employed as a camp employee at Yosemite National Park. 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 Addition is located towards the rear of the current house, though the new roof is proposed to start projecting 10 feet back from the front. Due to the roof pitch, the area under this section of roof will not be conditioned space, which is proposed to start approximately 22 feet from the front of the house. 2. Scale, massing, and height By sloping the roof up and away from the front of the house, a second-floor addition appears much more compatible than it may otherwise, and what was initially proposed in previous permit applications for …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 6, 2024 HR-2024-135867 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1508 WESTOVER ROAD 17.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a carport and construct a second unit in its place. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish a contributing carport, measuring approximately 200 square feet of enclosed space with overhang. 2) Construct a two-story second residential unit within side and rear setbacks, in an L shape to fit around existing pool. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS The main house on the property is an asymmetric Colonial Revival residence with large, mulled windows that dominate the front elevation. The roof is set at a moderate pitch and is side gabled in form. The front door is to one side and features a covered entryway, which is framed by two ornamented square posts. At one side of the house is an enclosed porch, which faces a side driveway that leads to the rear carport. The carport has about 200 square feet of enclosed space located behind covered parking for two cars, with the structure supported by plain wood posts. Built in 1931, the house at 1508 Westover Road was notably owned by Don & Muriel Phillips. Don Phillips worked at, and later became president of, the Nixon-Clay Commercial College, a secretarial school located on West 8th Street, across from the courthouse. The couple’s house was noted for hosting social events, and in 1956 Don was elected president of the Texas Amateur Softball Association. The two lived in the house until Don’s death in 1976, at which point it was sold. 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 Construction of the proposed second residential unit is located at the rear of the property and minimally visible from the street. 2. Orientation New construction is L-shaped to fit around the existing pool and to fit within setbacks but is generally oriented towards the front of the property. The front entry faces this direction, and the second floor features a large window with decorative shutters. 3. Scale, massing, and height The height of the new unit appears to be similar height or slightly shorter than the main house, though this may be lowered by setting …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 6, 2024 PR-2024-124120; GF-2024-138554 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1600 PALMA PLAZA 18.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a rear and side addition. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Increase the footprint of the house by constructing additions at the rear corner and sides of the existing. The extended footprint will mostly be located to the north and west elevations, which corresponds to the rear left corner when viewing the house from the front. A small projection is also proposed at the east elevation, which is directly visible from the W. Lynn Street right of way. The roof will remain hipped in form but will become more complex to accommodate the additional corners in the building footprint. New windows are proposed at the additions, and all other existing windows are proposed to be replaced. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS This one-story bungalow features a modest front porch supported by two brick piers topped with tapered, stucco-clad posts. The exterior is clad on all sides with multi-toned brick in a running bond. The gable end above the front porch is clad in horizontal wood siding and contains an attic vent. Over the main house, the roof becomes hipped in form and set at a moderate pitch, clad in asphalt shingle. At its base, the house is slightly elevated on pier-and-beam foundation. The property at 1600 Palma Plaza was occupied by the Carrington family for two decades upon construction. Joe Carrington was an underwriter for auto insurance in various roles. He and his wife Ethel raised a family at the address, who occasionally appeared in directory listings as living at the house into their young adulthood and attending school or working. The house was put up for sale in 1951 and was purchased by Milton & Mary Haberman. 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 Most of the addition is located at the rear and side of the current house. However, there is a small projection that is proposed at the east side, which directly faces a public right-of-way. The larger addition will be minimally visible from the street. 2. Scale, massing, and height The addition is deferential to the original …

28 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS NOVEMBER 6, 2024 PR-2024-043035; GF-2024-058054 1702 EAST MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. BOULEVARD PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1916 house and 1942 rear house. ARCHITECTURE One-story National Folk house with pyramidal hipped roof, board-and-batten siding, and inset partial-width porch supported by turned posts. Fenestration includes 1:1 and 4:1 wood windows; one of the original double entry doors has been converted to a window. Two decorative jigsawn brackets remain and two chimneys are present. The back house is a gabled, one-story building with horizontal wood siding and a partial width inset porch.

The effect created a more vertical emphasis. The rental houses of brothers Edmund (“E. J.”) Hofheinz and Oscar (“O. G.”) Hofheinz exemplified this trend. E. J. Hofheinz (ca. 1870–1949) was a real estate dealer and accountant, while O.G. Hofheinz (ca. 1880–1957) was an insurance salesman and developer. Together, the brothers subdivided land and built houses in East Austin and Clarksville. Real estate transaction articles in the Austin American Statesman indicate that the Hofheinz brothers both speculatively sold the houses that they built and retained them for rental income.2 Though the Hofheinz brothers rented some of their properties to tenants of color, their purchase of smaller lots and homes made property ownership even more difficult for East Austin residents. Even if African American homebuyers could secure a loan large enough to purchase a lot—a …
