HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS APRIL 3, 2024 HR-2024-029019; C14H-2003-0015 SHELBY HOUSE 1114 WEST 9TH STREET 8 – 1 PROPOSAL Replace roof and gutters. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS ARCHITECTURE 1) Replace the existing composite shingle roof with standing-seam metal roofing in charcoal grey. 2) Replace the gutters. According to the landmark designation application, the building is a “Two-story irregular-plan pyramidal hipped-roof frame house with minimal Prairie Style influences. The house contains a two-story partial-width inset porch; the second story of the porch has been enclosed with windows. Fenestration on the main part of the house is 1:1 wood frame windows. The doorway features a 3-light transom and single-light sidelights. […] Although not a true Prairie-style house, the Shelby House contains the horizontal lines popularized by [Frank Lloyd] Wright. […] Built around 1910, the house was originally a one-story frame structure containing 5 rooms and appeared to be a typical middle-class house when it was first constructed. L.E. Shelby, a prominent local dry goods merchant, purchased the house in 1911, and made significant changes to it, including the construction of a second story, blasting through the limestone shelf below to create a basement, and adding a porte-cochere.”1 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 at historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 1. General standards The proposed roof replacement does not remove historic material or change the historic roofline. 3. Roofs 3.5 Owners of landmark properties must replace roofs with material that approximates the appearance of the historic or existing roof material. d. Standing seam metal roofs, despite their historic look, are generally not acceptable for historic landmarks unless the owner can document that the building historically had a standing seam roof. Metal roof systems that replicate the historic roof material and have a historic appearance are acceptable. The proposed project replaces a shingle roof with a standing-seam metal roof. The original building likely would have been roofed with wood shakes or other shingle-form roofing, as metal roofing was generally restricted to carriage houses, stables, or other outbuildings in this area during the house’s period of significance. Summary The project mostly does not meet the applicable standards. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Postpone the public hearing to May 1, 2024, and invite the applicant to …

9 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS APRIL 3, 2024 HR-2024-030185; C14H- 2003-0007 VIOLET CROWN 1504 WEST LYNN STREET PROPOSAL Remove and replace incompatible non-historic additions, repaint, and construct a detached guesthouse. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct a new circular drive. 1) Remove the street-facing carport and replace it with a new, painted steel carport on the southeast side of the house. 2) Repaint the house with historically appropriate colors as seen in early photos. 3) Reclad the addition between the garage and the original house with painted vertical wood siding. 4) Construct a guesthouse and covered patio at the rear of the property. The proposed structure is clad with vertical wood siding and has painted steel fenestration. 5) Reconfigure the existing pool and add a new deck. ARCHITECTURE The 2003 landmark designation nomination describes the building as “a textbook example of the Tudor Revival style, with its false half-timbering, steeply pitched gable containing the round-arched doorway, stone facade, prominent chimney, and multi-light windows.”1 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 at historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 1. General standards The proposed project does not appear to significantly affect historic material. 3. Roofs Proposed alterations to the existing additions’ rooflines appear appropriate. 4. Exterior walls and trim The proposed new cladding appears appropriate in style and material and is sufficiently differentiated from historic material. 8. Attached garages and carports The proposed project removes an inappropriate and non-historic attached carport. Residential new construction 1. Location The proposed guest house is appropriately located at the rear of the property. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed new structure is very small in scale and does not appear visible from the street. 4. Proportions The proposed detached bedroom’s proportions are mostly compatible. 5. Design and style The proposed building’s design and style are appropriately simple. 6. Roofs Though the proposed building’s steep roofline is dramatic, it complements the original building’s more complex Tudor 1 Zoning Change Review Sheet: C14H-03-0007. Historic Preservation Office, 2003. 9 – 2 Revival roofline. 7. Exterior walls The proposed exterior walls are appropriate. 8. Windows and doors The proposed fenestration is compatible. 9. Porches The proposed covered porch is large in scale, but is not visible from …

Unfortunately, Amber was mistaken in her assessment, likely due to the complex nature of the site and its unit numbering; she did not consult with our team about either the property’s referral potential or about your communication with her. I recently performed a site visit to this property and determined that the mid-century building located between Windsor and East Windsor roads, previously owned by the Trueman O’Quinn family, would require Commission review due to both its contributing status in the historic district and its potential eligibility as a historic landmark. While Amber is no longer with the City of Austin, please know that I have escalated this issue to our division manager, Zoning Officer Joi Harden, who is also copied on this e-mail.

Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Sam, We are writing to Object to the demolition of 2307 Windsor Road - Unit 2, GF 24-030562 . This contributing property was purchased and built by Truman Edgar O'quinn Sr. He was the city attorney, as well as the Travis County, Democratic Chairman and legal counsel for the University of Texas. He was appointed to the Third Court of Civil Appeals and is also known for his role in acquiring the land that later became Bergstrom Air Force Base. Mr. O'Quinn's life as an outstanding citizen of Austin is impressive, but even more important is that the home requesting demolition is an exquisite example of mid-century, modern architecture that deserves to be preserved and restored. Can you kindly confirm who the architect was for this home? O'QUINN, TRUEMAN EDGAR, SR. (1905–1990).Trueman O'Quinn, attorney, judge, and historian, was born in Leesville, Louisiana, on May 7, 1905, to Dallas Patrick and Florence Isabelle (O'Connor) O'Quinn. He was one of three children. In 1917 the family left Vernon Parish and moved to East Texas. As a child, O'Quinn was active in Boy Scouts and eventually became an Eagle Scout. He graduated from Beaumont High School in 1922 and enrolled at the University of Texas that same year. O'Quinn supported himself through college by teaching fencing and writing syndicated news stories. He also served as editor of the Daily Texan, 1927–1928. After completing his bachelor's degree, O'Quinn studied law and passed the bar in 1932. He remained in Austin, where he opened a private practice. O'Quinn's interest in law led him to politics. He was elected to the Forty- Second Texas Legislature and served the 1931–1932 term as a representative for Jefferson County. In 1936, O'Quinn was appointed assistant city attorney of Austin, and by 1939 was city attorney. With the exception of the years he served during World War II, he held the position until 1950. During the war, O'Quinn served in various capacities. He was a lt. colonel in the 101st Airborne Division and fought in four major battles. As Staff Judge Advocate, he supervised court-martial trials in Normandy after the Allied invasion. He also served with the army of occupation …
