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. RESEARCH The front house at 1702 East Martin Luther King was constructed around 1916 as a rental property. Its architectural detailing marks it as an example of National Folk houses rented to working-class East Austin families during the early years of the twentieth century by Edmund and Oscar Hofheinz. According to a 2019 Historic Preservation Office report, 11 known and 13 possible houses of this style and original use remain within the East Austin Historic Resource Survey area,1 though several have since been demolished. The East Austin Context Statement notes their impact on development patterns: The first two decades of the 1900s were rampant with development throughout East Austin…residential construction in these new developments reflected evolving trends in domestic designs, as the eclectic tastes of the Victorian era waned and simpler styles…became more widespread…new [working-class] house types began to replace more traditional forms. The linear, one‐ room‐deep plans that featured gabled roofs…gave way to deeper, more box‐like plans and often had hipped or pyramidal roofs with inset porches. 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 …

June 5, 2024 City of Austin Historic Preservation Board To whom it may concern, I am writing to express my strong support for Aisha Gooden-Williams and her family in their request to demolish structures on their property. As a scholar of the African American experience, particularly in Austin, I believe that denying this family the right to manage their property as they see fit, including demolition, would be an affront to the liberties that African Americans have fought tirelessly to secure. The legacy of African Americans in this country is deeply intertwined with issues of property and ownership. Historically, Black people were reduced to property through race-based chattel enslavement, bought, sold, and disposed of at the whims of others. Today, denying a Black family the autonomy to decide the fate of their property echoes these past injustices. The properties in question hold significant historical value. They are not just buildings but symbols of resilience and progress. My grandfather’s sister, Mrs. Winifred Hill Gooden, labored as a domestic worker in the Hoffenhiez residence for decades. As a Black woman born in the early 20th century to tenant farmers in rural Travis and Caldwell Counties, domestic work was one of the few employment opportunities available to her. Through her hard work, she was able to acquire many homes that the Hoffenhiez family reserved for “Colored” renters in the former Negro District of East Austin. This acquisition was a defining moment for Black property ownership in the area, representing a significant step toward economic empowerment for working-class Black families. I recognize and appreciate the City of Austin’s efforts, particularly through the Equity Preservation Plan, to address historical racial injustices. Preserving the histories, experiences, and contributions of African Americans and other marginalized communities is vital. Through my work with Black Austin Tours, I strive to fill the gaps in public consciousness and support programmatic efforts to this end. However, historic preservation should not solely focus on “preserving” the past. It must also consider financial and generational wealth. Equitable historic preservation involves educating and directing resources to historically excluded communities, empowering them to make decisions about their properties. If the Gooden family chooses to demolish a property to benefit from community development, they should be able to do so without impediment. The City of Austin should support their efforts to continue their family’s legacy of property ownership and economic progress. Moreover, this situation presents a …
June 10, 2024 City of Austin Historic Preservation Office Housing & Planning Department P.O. Box 1088 Austin, TX 78767 To whom it may concern, I am writing to wholeheartedly endorse Mrs. Aisha Gooden-Williams and her family's impassioned appeal to safeguard the residential dwellings on their ancestral property. As a resident of Austin, born and raised, it is important to recognize the importance of preserving the rights that African Americans have worked tirelessly to achieve. It would be unjust if this family were denied the chance to exercise their property rights, including the freedom to demolish their property. Appreciating and respecting the rich historical legacy of the African American community that flourished in Central East Austin is crucial. In accordance with its 1928 plan, the City of Austin implemented measures that mandated Black residents to reside within a designated 6-square mile zone, thereby endorsing segregationist policies. This district served as the residence for Black residents, businesses, schools, and churches, and it played a crucial role in influencing the lively heritage and cultural contributions of Austin's African American community. In order to preserve the respected legacy, set forth by the Gooden family in accordance with the 1928 plan, it is of utmost importance that these properties remain undisturbed. This will greatly contribute to the preservation of the past and the development of the future of The District, encompassing the properties owned by the Gooden family. Furthermore, the Gooden properties in question possess significant historical significance. These structures are not merely physical buildings; they serve as powerful symbols of resilience and progress. Sincerely, Shameika N. Brown-Smith
