HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JANUARY 10, 2024 HR-2023-128292 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 3001 FUNSTON STREET 21 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a new residence. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS DESIGN STANDARDS The proposed new building is two stories in height and capped with a compound shed and cross-gabled roof with decorative cedar brackets at gable ends. It is clad in board-and-batten and horizontal siding and features fixed and single-hung windows. The proposed garage is located at the secondary 30th Street 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 new building is located roughly at the center of the corner lot. 2. Orientation The proposed new building’s orientation is consistent with the orientation of the previous contributing building. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed building is larger in scale and height and more complex in massing than nearby contributing buildings; however, its design utilizes step-downs in building form that helps to minimize the building’s overall scale. 4. Proportions Proposed proportions are somewhat compatible. 5. Design and style The proposed design and style is consistent, but only somewhat reflects the surrounding district. 6. Roofs The compound roof is more complex than contributing buildings’ roofs. The triangular brackets at gable ends may give the appearance of false historicism, though this may be mitigated by the rest of the building’s modern design elements. 7. Exterior walls Exterior walls are somewhat appropriate, though board-and-batten appears mostly on outbuildings rather than historic-age primary buildings. 8. Windows and doors Proposed fenestration is mostly compatible at primary elevations. 9. Porches The proposed porch is mostly compatible. 11. Attached garages and carports The proposed garage is set back from the front wall of the house. Summary The project meets some of the applicable standards. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Comment on plans.

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The proposed new building is two stories in height. It is clad in stone veneer and standing seam metal and features twin front-facing second-floor gables with floor-to-roofline glass. Fenestration also includes large fixed undivided windows, a front-facing garage, and undivided casements.

Proportions The building’s proportions do not reflect the proportions of nearby contributing buildings. 5. Design and style The building’s design and style are internally consistent, but the double gable and monumental stone massing components do not appear compatible with the district. 6. Roofs See 5. 7. Exterior walls The proposed metal cladding is not compatible, though the stone is somewhat compatible. 8. Windows and doors While the proposed second floor’s transparency makes it more compatible, the offset undivided windows at the first floor are not compatible. 11.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JANUARY 10, 2024 HR-2023-160720 SIXTH STREET NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 218 EAST 6TH STREET/600-602 SAN JACINTO STREET 23 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Paint and repair storefront. Install new exterior vestibule at entrance. Install new metal awning. Replace deteriorated windows on the second floor to match existing. 1) Paint and repair existing stucco façade as needed. Repair and repaint upper-story pediments, replace deteriorated cornice details in-kind, repair and repaint storefront as needed. 2) Repair upper windows where possible, replacing in-kind where deteriorated beyond repair. Install new aluminum- 3) 4) clad windows in first-floor infilled arches. Install new metal awning at existing attachment points. Install new central-bay entry vestibule, set back 42”, to match existing flanking storefront windows. Install new light fixtures at entry. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Two-story stucco-over-brick structure with large arched openings at the street level and a deep pressed metal cornice. An awning installed in the 1930s has been removed, though connection points are evident. The building at 218 E. 6th Street was constructed around 1880. Its first occupant, the Gambrinus Saloon, was opened by O. Schubert and run by August Fuhrmann, though Fuhrmann’s stake in the business is unclear until the 1890s, when Austin city directories list him as the saloon’s proprietor. The saloon remained in business until after the turn of the twentieth century, when it became a grocer, a tire shop, and a furniture and carpet showroom owned by Felix Smith. After a brief vacancy, A. W. Brill opened a saddlery there in 1920 before purchasing his own building a block away. From the 1930s onward, the building was home to a variety of furniture stores: first the Gregory Furniture Store, owned by City Council- hopeful Tom Gregory; then the Brown-Sellers Company, operated by seasoned salesmen J.S. Brown and C.A. Sellers; then the short-lived Dayton Furniture Company, and finally the Craddock Furniture Company, who also owned the adjoining building. The building was later purchased by Dr. Ben Oran White, son of Councilman Ben White, and rented to a theater. 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: Repair and alterations 1. General standards The proposed project specifies that historic-age material will be replaced in-kind only …

24 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JANUARY 10, 2024 HR-2023-160745 SIXTH STREET NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 505-07 EAST 6TH STREET PROPOSAL RESEARCH Renovate the building and convert from bar to restaurant. Repair exterior masonry, repaint elements where coating has deteriorated, and repair or replace clerestory window. Replace the single door with a double door. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Repaint existing painted masonry where needed, repairing brick prior to coating if deteriorated. 2) Repair existing awning, replacing with like materials where needed. Repaint. 3) Replace easternmost single door with double door to match existing fenestration rhythm. 4) Remove faux brick over clerestory window. Repair or replace clerestory, depending on level of deterioration. If replacement is chosen, use a window with divided lights similar to those shown in twentieth-century photos. The building at 505 and 507 East 6th Street were constructed in 1912 by Saidi Ferris on the site of an earlier store, owned by Ferris since 1905. Ferris, a native of Beirut and transplant from Nebraska, began his Austin business endeavors in 1898 with a grocery store at 500 East 6th. He later became one of Austin’s most influential businessmen over the course of his long and productive career. Ferris also showed support for the other Syrian and Lebanese merchants who helped to establish 6th Street as a mercantile hub in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. At one time the owner of the most properties on 6th Street, Ferris operated a dry goods store which grew into several extremely profitable department stores through the twentieth century. In the 1920s, Ferris handed the department stores over to his three sons and took up wholesale trading in New York; he weathered the Great Depression in Austin as director of the Chamber of Commerce. The 6th Street department store was sold to a regional mercantile conglomerate in 1942; Ferris passed away seven years later. During the 1940s, the building was an A&P; it then became a hardware store. DESIGN STANDARDS The design standards established by Ordinance No. 20230720-160 (July 2023) and based on the Citywide Historic Design Standards for properties in the 500 and 600 blocks of East Sixth Street apply. The proposed project was evaluated based on the following applicable standards: Rehabilitate and adaptively reuse contributing buildings, including at least the first 15 feet of historic facades.

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Construct a fully conditioned building behind the existing façade. 2) Clean and repair limestone as needed. 3) Remove non-original sconces and repair connections. 4) Remove non-original gates and replace them with a painted metal storefront, with the two middle archways as the new entryway with doors recessed 3’-0”. 5) Construct a new painted awning. ARCHITECTURE This building was built ca. 1898 but has since been reduced to a free-standing façade. At the time of the 1975 National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form for the Sixth Street Historic District, the six arched openings had contrasting granite voussoirs. The façade was articulated with limestone; the original cornice detailing remains. When it was built in 1898, the structure at 606 East 6th Street housed a candy factory and soda water bottling company. By the early twentieth century, it served as a creamery for a series of small companies. After a stint in the 1920s as the Texas Meat Company and Austin Sausage Kitchen, the building fell vacant for a short time. By the end of the 1930s, it had transitioned to a space for automobile-related businesses, including transmission and tire shops. Aerial photographs show that it was reduced to a windowless and roofless shell between 1965 and 1975. RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS The design standards established by Ordinance No. 20230720-160 (July 2023) and based on the Citywide Historic Design Standards for properties in the 500 and 600 blocks of East Sixth Street apply. The proposed project was evaluated based on the following applicable standards: Rehabilitate and adaptively reuse contributing buildings, including at least the first 15 feet of historic façades. The proposed project retains the existing historic-age material, removes non-original material, and builds behind the remaining façade, with minor alterations to historic fabric that retain the rhythm of the streetscape. The proposed awning is in keeping with other awnings during the district’s period of significance. Summary The project meets the applicable standards. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Sixth Street National Register district. The 2022 Sixth Street Snapshot Resurvey lists the property as contributing to the historic district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building …

26 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JANUARY 10, 2024 HR-2023-160869 SIXTH STREET NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 610 EAST 6TH STREET PROPOSAL Convert a ca. 1872 building façade to a conditioned space. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Repaint existing painted areas at façade. 2) Removes the non-original wood walls covering the existing openings. 3) Remodel storefront based on photos showing the location of historic-age openings and proportions. The west bay of the proposed metal storefront includes a 42” setback to accommodate a new entry vestibule. Install clerestory windows with divided lite proportions based on 1975 photographs. 4) Repair and repaint the existing brick columns. 5) Repair and clean the original cast iron cornice. ARCHITECTURE 610 East 6th Street was built ca. 1872 and was once an auto garage, with two distinct bays and an ornamental metal cornice. At the time of the 1975 National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form for the Sixth Street Historic District, the structure consisted of two large bay openings with multiple doors and clerestory windows above. The façade was articulated with brick columns and a metal cornice. The brick and metal cornice are intact, though the building is open- air. The building at 610 E. 6th Street was constructed around 1872 according to the National Register inventory, though little evidence of its earliest occupancy remains. In the 1880s and ‘90s, it served as a mattress manufacturer and furrier, and by the turn of the century, at least part of the building was occupied by a collier’s office and yard. After a period of vacancy, it was renewed as an auto-oriented business in 1920 and remained so until at least the late 1970s. RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS The design standards established by Ordinance No. 20230720-160 (July 2023) and based on the Citywide Historic Design Standards for properties in the 500 and 600 blocks of East Sixth Street apply. The proposed project was evaluated based on the following applicable standards: Rehabilitate and adaptively reuse contributing buildings, including at least the first 15 feet of historic facades. The proposed project rehabilitates and adaptively reuses the building, restoring the historic elements of the existing façade in response to Committee feedback. Summary The project meets the applicable standards. PROPERTY EVALUATION The 2022 Sixth Street Snapshot Resurvey lists the property as contributing to the historic district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. …

27 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JANUARY 10, 2024 HR-2023-160912 SIXTH STREET NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 616 EAST 6TH STREET PROPOSAL Renovate and remodel a ca. 1872 building, enlarging existing openings. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Enlarge the existing openings. The proposed storefront references the historic proportions of the 1975 door and window locations by incorporating new openings to either side of the existing openings. The proposed new entry is recessed approximately 42” beyond the façade. 2) Clean and repair limestone as needed. 3) Increases the depth of the existing awning. 4) Remove the non-original lights connected to the parapet. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS One-part commercial building with a simple limestone façade with a single entry and a large square window. The building at 616 E. 6th Street is likely one of the oldest intact structures in the 600 block of E. 6th, but it appears to have been significantly altered over time and its simple form obscured. Early occupancy listings suggest that it was associated with the adjacent wagon yard as a feed store before being purchased by Austin Bottling Works around the turn of the century. It remained part of the bottling works until around 1920. In the 1930s it became part of an auto parts store, but by the late- ‘40s it was converted to the Three Aces bar. The design standards established by Ordinance No. 20230720-160 (July 2023) and based on the Citywide Historic Design Standards for properties in the 500 and 600 blocks of East Sixth Street apply. The proposed project was evaluated based on the following applicable standards: Rehabilitate and adaptively reuse contributing buildings, including at least the first 15 feet of historic facades. Though the proposed project removes some historic fabric from the building’s façade, it retains the majority of the historic stonework that remains; openings have been previously modified. Summary The project mostly meets the applicable standards. PROPERTY EVALUATION The 2022 Sixth Street Snapshot Resurvey lists the property as contributing to the historic district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate integrity. Openings have been altered. 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 convey architectural significance. b. Historical association. The …

The proposed project was evaluated based on the following applicable standards: Rehabilitate and adaptively reuse contributing buildings, including at least the first 15 feet of historic facades. The proposed project appropriately rehabilitates the building’s façade, approximating original openings and returning the entry door to its original offset location. The proposed awning is appropriate, as it appears visually light. Summary The project meets the applicable standards. PROPERTY EVALUATION The 2022 Sixth Street Snapshot Resurvey lists the property as contributing to the historic district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high to moderate 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 convey architectural significance. 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.

It does not recommend the house for designation. BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: § 25-2-352(3)(c)(i) Architecture. The property embodies the distinguishing characteristics of a recognized architectural style, type, or method of construction; exemplifies technological innovation in design or construction; displays high artistic value in representing ethnic or folk art, architecture, or construction; represents a rare example of an architectural style in the city; serves as an outstanding example of the work of an architect, builder, or artisan who significantly contributed to the development of the city, state, or nation; possesses cultural, historical, or architectural value as a particularly fine or unique example of a utilitarian or vernacular structure; or represents an architectural curiosity or one-of-a-kind building. The Green & White grocery is an intact example of a neighborhood grocery store, a rapidly disappearing property type in Austin.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JANUARY 10, 2024 HR-2023-161000 SIXTH STREET NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 719-21 EAST 6TH STREET 29 – 1 PROPOSAL Remodel storefront and awning. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH 1) The proposed design replaces the existing storefront with a new painted metal storefront. 2) The proposed design replaces the entry door in the same location, set back 3’-0” from the façade. 3) The proposed project extends the existing awning to space across the entire façade. 4) Repaint awning. Clean and repair columns, entry, and brickwork. One-story brick commercial building with two painted storefronts sheltered by a metal awning at the westernmost bay. The building at 719 and 721 East 6th Street was constructed around 1907. Its first occupants were William Goosby and Thomas McCoy, a restaurant owner and barber. City directories indicate that both business owners were African American. By 1912, brothers Abraham and Joe Nassour had moved into the building, along with restaurant owner Manuel Hernandez. Joe Nassour was a grocer, while Abraham ran a saloon. The brothers, born in Beirut, were part of a larger community of Syrian and Lebanese merchants—including the Daywood, Ferris, Attal, Fayad, Joseph, and other families--who helped to establish 6th Street as a bustling business district in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. By the early ‘20s, Joe and Abraham Nassour’s brother John was using both halves of the building for his grocery store. In the ‘30s and ‘40s, he shared the space with Samuel Fayad’s domino parlor and Louis Daywood’s billiards hall. By the late 1940s, the building held the Schooner Beer Bar and Golden Gloves Inn; in the ‘50s, Joe’s Inn and the Villalpando Barbershop, along with several cafes, made their homes there. 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: Repair and alterations 1. General standards The proposed project mostly removes non-historic storefront elements from the building, retaining wood panels, existing awning, and existing brickwork. 4. Exterior walls and trim The proposed project repairs existing brickwork and repaints only previously painted masonry. Repairs are proposed for existing wood storefront accents. 11. Commercial storefronts The proposed storefront replacement appears appropriate. Summary The project meets the applicable standards. Plans have been amended to include …

One-story brick and stucco building with two storefront bays beneath a cloth awning. The storefront has been replaced and original brick arches obscured. 723 and 725 E. 6th Street was constructed around 1903. Its first occupant, Walker M. Daywood, sold groceries and dry goods from half of the building, while the other half served as a saloon owned by George S. Hamby. By 1909, the building held four tenants: Daywood’s grocery, Alvear August’s tailor shop, and meat and fish markets operated by John Bius and Samual Stone. After 1910, however, the business briefly returned to its grocery-saloon format, with Daywood sharing the building with Abraham Tannous’ saloon. By 1916, Tannous’ inlaw, Joseph Bashara, opened a grocery store in the former saloon. Daywood sold his store to John Joseph, and the Joseph Brothers and Bashara Brothers groceries coexisted for around a decade. By the 1940s, Checker Front Stores had purchased the independent grocery at 723 E. 6th, and the corner unit at 725 had been turned into a drugstore. By the 1950s, the Ferris Drug Company had moved into 723 and 725 became a series of cafes. The Daywood, Joseph, Ferris, and Bashara families were each part of a larger community of mostly Syrian …

Victoria From: Sent: Cc: Subject: Attachments: Victoria Thursday, January 4, 2024 9:22 AM Ron Thrower; Contreras, Kalan; Fahnestock, Sam Item # - 6804 Mesa Drive - Request for demolition 6804 Mesa Survey.pdf; 6804 Mesa Pictures.pdf Hello Commissioner, On behalf of the landowner of 6804 Mesa Drive, I want to share information with you about this property, prior to the upcoming hearing on January 10th. The character defining features that made this structure unique and interesting in the 1960’s are no longer existing, calling to question the architectural integrity of the structure. As the property exists today, it is hardly recognizable to its original character; The U-shaped design touting a front facing courtyard have been walled off and closed in. The side-entry car port has been enclosed, becoming an interior space, and the property now has multiple 6ft rock walls that block much of the view of the property from the street. We respectfully ask that you consider the loss of integrity when reviewing his structure and request for demolition. Additionally, the property owner shares the following information: My name is Randy Johnson and I have owned 6804 Mesa for 10+ years and love our neighborhood. By way of background, I was born and raised here, attended public schools, graduated from UT and have spent 60+ years in Austin, including the last 30 years in NW Hills. Both of my daughters were raised in NW Hills and attended neighborhood public schools. I have respect for HLC’s mission, the commissioners, and staff. That said, I disagree with the idea of my home being considered for historical landmark designation. My reasons are outlined below: -The original house has been materially modified from its original condition and the street view has been mostly ‘closed in’ with walls added and the atrium and carport closed in. I am also attaching the survey of both lots and have highlighted the original street facing ‘sections’ in orange as well as the major additions and changes in yellow. All of these changes pre-date my ownership (see attached photographs)- Original atrium has been ‘closed in’ by a rock wall such that you cannot see the atrium at all. Original carport has been ‘closed in’ and converted to an interior room. A large, 6 ft rock wall has been added in front, on both the north and south sides and two middle sections of the lot, virtually eliminating any street …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS DECEMBER 13, 2023 PR-2023-138200; GF-2023-147641 6804 MESA DRIVE 32 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1962 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Mid-century Modern house designed by architect David Barrow, Jr. The Austin American notes its U-shaped plan around a central courtyard, expansive sliding glass doors and walls, and long covered porch.1 The house at 6804 Mesa Drive was constructed in 1962 by David B. Barrow and designed by architect David B. Barrow, Jr. for the 1962 Parade of Homes. Barrow and his father, David Barrow, Sr.—a long-time developer, realtor, and Planning Commissioner—were instrumental in establishing the Northwest Hills neighborhood and promoting its picturesque, hilled landscape as an ideal place for midcentury luxury homes. Barrow, Jr. studied under Harwell Hamilton Harris at the University of Texas and was the only student who went on to work for Harris’ Dallas firm as an associate. He joined Chuck Stahl to form Barrow & Stahl in the 1960s. David Barrow, Sr. and his associates in the Austin Corporation employed Barrow & Stahl for most of the planning and engineering services as Northwest Hills developed. 2 6804 Mesa was named the “Far Hills View Home” in the 1962 Parade of Homes. “Planned especially for its site,” reads the Austin American article featuring the home and its role in the Parade, “Far Hills View Home has been expertly constructed to blend with its surroundings.”3 In her National Register nomination for another Northwest Hills model home, Karen Twer discusses the importance of the Parade of Homes in Austin’s development history: By building model houses for events like the Parade of Homes, builders and developers could highlight the attractive and livable qualities of their volume-built houses and market new suburban developments to masses of potential homebuyers. As a kind of conceptual show window, their model houses needed to be centrally located…Not bounded by the existing urban landscape, developers could create the kind of neighborhoods second-time middle-class homebuyers were seeking. By hosting Parade of Homes events in outlying areas of growing cities, developers and builders were influential in shaping the suburban development of expanding cities like Austin. […] Builders and developers relied on architects to design the kind of distinctive houses that would rival custom-built houses…Model houses built for the Parade of Homes were collaborative interpretations of the kind of modern domestic lifestyle homebuyers dreamt of…In the 1960s, [Austin’s] Parade of Homes events continued …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS DECEMBER 13, 2023 PR-2023-095572; GF-2023-101935 1101 GARNER AVENUE 32 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1938 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story Tudor Revival house with two-story rear addition. The house is clad in rustic stone. Its cross-gabled roofline features intersecting gable ends with traditional cornice returns; the left-hand gable caps an arched entry door and abuts a prominent fireplace. The stone wall surrounding the property is of new construction. The house at 1101 Garner Avenue was built in 1938 for sisters Pearl, Maude, and Sophia Cummins. Pearl Cummins had been a Wichita Falls jewelry shop owner prior to moving to Austin with her sisters in 1937, after thirteen years of success. She then grew her business to include millinery as well as jewelry, and—with the help of sister Sophia, called Faye, who worked as the shop’s buyer—brought the designs of other Texas milliners to Austin throughout the 1930s and ‘40s. Faye Cummins was featured in a 1940 Statesman article honoring “Outstanding Business & Professional Women of Austin” for her association with the business. The shop expanded from a small shop on Congress Avenue to a larger one on E. 8th Street in the early 1940s. The Cummins sisters remained in their home on Garner Avenue for around ten years. PROPERTY EVALUATION Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate integrity. A rear-side addition, constructed in 1986, is minimally visible from the main streetscape; however, it greatly impacts the secondary streetscape. 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 is constructed in the Tudor Revival style. b. Historical association. The property is associated with the Cummins family, local milliners and businesswomen. 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 was not evaluated for its ability to 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 does not appear to be a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, aesthetic, cultural, or historical value to the city.

There is no long-standing association with property While admirable for being women business owners in the 1940s, there is no indication that their work was of “historic importance that contributed significantly to the city, state, or nation” Report indicates that a better association with the Cummins sisters’ business would be 912 Congress where the shop was located. 912 Congress is a historic landmark zoned CBD-H Property Includes Additions and Alterations that have “significantly compromised its integrity.” The 1986 second story addition is less than 15 feet from the façade and begins at the gable of the original roof and is actually higher than the original gable Addition does not appear to meet Historic Design Standards The 1986 addition is of an entirely different design with different materials and is visible from both Dexter St. and the intersection with Garner Ave. and Dexter St. The portico is visible from Garner The 2016 Rock Wall (which was not original) obstructs the view of the front of the building Views From Dexter and Garner Rock Wall 2023 – GOOGLE EARTH 2013 – GOOGLE EARTH Summary Cummins sisters were admirable women business owners in early 1940s, …

It appears to have been part of a “homestead” owned by the Click family, who appear to have moved back and forth from their South Austin property to their ranch in Dripping Springs until the 1920s, when they moved permanently to Austin. George Harvey and Sarah Josephine Click were both children of Texas pioneers. They lived on their family’s South Austin property, surrounded by their children and in-laws, for much of their lives. The house at 812, occupied by both the elder Clicks and later rented by their pastor, appears to be the oldest on the block. Newspaper research showing that Myra Click Clayton purchased and developed surrounding lots during the late 1930s. During the 1950s, the home was owned by Inez Piper and her husband Clifford, a painter. The couple divorced in 1960. Later that year, sales clerk Consuelo Sanchez and Air Force serviceman Robert Martinez married and moved into 812 West Elizabeth Street.

January 4, 2024 RE: 812 W. Elizabeth Street Historic Zoning Dear Chair Heimsath, Vice Chair Featherston, and Members of the Historic Landmark Commission, Preservation Austin exists to empower Austinites to shape a more inclusive, resilient, and meaningful community culture through preservation. We write to you today in support of historic zoning for 812 W. Elizabeth Street, initiated for designation at the December meeting of the Historic Landmark Commission. Built ca. 1890, this Folk Victorian home remains as one of the last vestiges of Bouldin Creek’s early development. While the staff report for this case cites the home’s association with the pioneering Click family, in addition to its architectural significance, the chain of renters who lived here throughout the 20th century reveals that the property likely has deeper ties with historic communities of color that should be more thoroughly understood. Bouldin Creek, a modest neighborhood of small cottages and bungalows west of South Congress, was home to substantial Black and Mexican American communities throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. Following the Civil War, many people formerly enslaved on plantations in South Austin remained in today’s Bouldin Creek neighborhood. There they established the Brackenridge freedmen’s community, named for the segregated school located at 319 W. Elizabeth Street, two blocks from the subject property. Following the Mexican Revolution of 1910-1920, Mexican immigration to Austin increased markedly. Around this time, Mexican Americans settled west of South 1st Street, anchored by two Spanish-speaking Catholic churches. 812 W. Elizabeth Street’s past occupants are typical of the neighborhood’s working-class history. A 1935 redlining map declared the entire area to be “Hazardous,” while neighborhoods east of South Congress were labeled “Still Desirable” and “Best.” This assessment was in no small part due to Bouldin’s communities of color (East Austin was similarly assessed as “Hazardous” on this map). These discriminatory real estate practices kept property values accessible, making rentals common. This diverse, working-class heritage is rapidly vanishing. Our research shows that from 2010-2021, 1309 residential demolitions occurred in the 78704 zip code where Bouldin Creek is located. Over this period, 78704 experienced the highest rate of residential demolitions of all zip codes citywide. The northeast corner of W. Elizabeth Street and Bouldin Avenue has already been diminished by the recent demolitions of homes at 816 and 814 W. Elizabeth Street, properties that have since been purchased by the owner of 812 W. Elizabeth Street. We urge the Commission to …
