HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS OCTOBER 25, 2021 CASE NUMBER OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1400 MOHLE DRIVE C.11 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a new building PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The proposed new residence is two stories in height, clad in stucco. It has a low, hipped roof with deep eaves clad in standing-seam metal. Its aluminum divided-light windows are regularly placed. Divided sidelights and a transom window surround the partially glazed front door, and a flat-roofed awning shelters the entryway. The secondary street frontage includes a projecting bay window, stucco chimney, and garage door. The rear elevation contains a second-floor terrace with patio beneath. 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 proposed new building appears to be set back appropriately from the street. 2. Orientation The proposed new building is oriented toward the street, with the garage loading at the secondary street frontage, consistent with the existing detached garage. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed new building is two stories in height, while most nearby contributing buildings appear to be one or one and one-half stories in height. There are few contributing buildings on this part of Mohle Drive. The building’s simple massing is appropriate to the district. 4. Proportions The building’s proportions are appropriate at the main façade, though the Oakhurst Avenue elevation may appear somewhat monolithic from the street. 5. Design and style The proposed new building is appropriately differentiated from nearby contributing buildings by its stucco cladding and modern window configurations. Its rhythmic façade enhances compatibility when viewed from Mohle Drive. 6. Roofs The simple roof form complies with the design standards. 7. Exterior walls The stucco cladding is appropriate to the building’s style and helps to differentiate it from contributing buildings. 8. Windows and doors The Mohle Drive façade’s simple, rhythmic fenestration is appropriate and compatible with the district. The Oakhurst Avenue façade is somewhat compatible, with the exceptions of the projecting bay window and long vertical window. 9. Porches While the rear deck and patio are not found on nearby contributing buildings in the district, they are visible only from secondary elevations. 10. Chimneys The proposed chimney is clad in …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS OCTOBER 25, 2021 HR-2021-154877 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1411 ETHRIDGE AVENUE C.12 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Demolish a ca. 1939 contributing building and associated outbuildings. Two-story, symmetrical-plan, cross-gabled Classical Revival house with 6:6 and 9:9 wood windows, horizontal siding, and a full-width porch supported by boxed columns. Details include dentils at cornice, sidelights and transom at front door, Classical cornice returns at gable ends, and wood shutters. The house and outbuildings at 1411 Ethridge Avenue were built in 1939 for Claude A. and Clara Williams. Claude Williams served as Texas’ assistant Secretary of State at the time of the home’s construction. He went on to head the Texas Unemployment Commission. By 1949, Dr. Revace (called Sam) and Margaret Ann Swearingen had purchased the property. Dr. Sam Swearingen served as the chief of staff, chief of surgery, and chairman of the Board of Trustees at Brackenridge Hospital; he later became chief of staff at the Austin State Hospital, medical director of the Denton State School, and medical director of the San Angelo State Center. 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 may meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building is constructed in the Classical Revival style. b. Historical association. The property is associated with Claude A. Williams and Dr. Revace “Sam” Swearingen. 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 does not 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 may include a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, aesthetic, cultural, or historical value to the city. Further landscape research may be required. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Consider initiating historic zoning. Should the Commission decide against initiation, require completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package prior to permit release. Additionally, new construction in National Register districts must be reviewed by the Commission prior to release of the …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS OCTOBER 25, 2021 HR-2021-116459 CLARKSVILLE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1104 CHARLOTTE STREET C.2 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Raise house and move away from street to construct basement. Construct side addition. 1) Demolish back porch and portions of rear and southeast exterior wall and roof. 2) Move the house approximately four feet further from the street. 3) Raise the house approximately seven feet to install concrete foundation with crawlspace and basement floor. 4) Construct a two-story rear and side addition with screened porch. The proposed building’s exterior materials include fiber-cement board-and-batten siding, limestone, and stucco cladding, as well as horizontal fiber-cement skirting. It is capped by a hipped metal roof and features a flat vegetative roof at rear. 5) Install new handrails, stairs, and skylight to existing historic house. One-story square-plan cottage with hipped metal roof and partial-width porch supported by turned posts. Details include exposed rafter tails and board-and-batten siding. Symmetrical 4:4 wood windows flank the central entryway. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH The house at 1104 Charlotte Street appears to have been built around 1912. Though it was likely constructed as a rental property, it was owned and occupied by the Robinson family from 1916 until the end of the 1920s. William M. Robinson, a teamster, moved there after living with his family across the street at 1202 Charlotte Street upon his marriage. His wife, Elizabeth, worked as a laundress; one of her relatives, Nannie, stayed with them off and on over the years. By 1930, the home had been sold to James and Betty Green. After Betty Green sold the home around 1941, it was occupied by a series of renters, including a U.S. Army serviceman, a laundress, several laborers, and a Southern Union Gas employee. 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 minimizes the loss of historic fabric at the main elevation by restoring original windows, siding, and roof material. Some historic fabric is lost at the side and rear of the building, and its relationship to the street will change. 2. Foundations The proposed project does not appear to comply with Standard 2.1 (“Maintain the building’s historic …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A DEMOLITION PERMIT IN A NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT OCTOBER 25, 2021 PR-21-113815 WILLOW-SPENCE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 80 AND 82 SAN MARCOS STREET C.3 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish two ca. 1941 houses. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Two one-story, rectangular-plan, side-gabled, frame cottages on the same lot. The houses have a central entry topped with a front-gabled entry hood; paired 1:1 fenestration, some with decorative 3:1 wood screens. There is a building permit in city records evidencing construction of these houses in 1941; the Sanborn map of 1935 shows different houses on this site, and the 1962 Sanborn map shows the current houses. The 1941 building permits reflect construction by Louis Bonugli, who operated a neighborhood grocery store just a block from this site, and who invested in neighborhood real estate. Bonugli and his family lived at 80 San Marcos intermittently in the late 1940s and early 1950s, but in other years, the family is listed at their grocery store 78 San Marcos, likely to earn additional income from renting the house at 80 San Marcos. The house at 82 San Marcos was built as a rental unit. The house at 82 San Marcos was home to only two families during much of the historic period, one of whom lived in an earlier house on this site. The first residents of the house were Willie L. and Allie Smith, who lived here until around 1943, and had lived in the earlier house on this site since the early 1930s. Willie Smith was an auto mechanic. Raymond and Angie Miller moved into the house around 1943 and rented the house until around 1950. Raymond Miller was taxi driver who later opened his own filling station while living in this house. Angie Miller worked at Woolworth’s a downtown discount department store. PROPERTY EVALUATION The houses are listed as non-contributing to the Willow Spence National Register Historic District, but staff questions that determination, as they are intact examples of vernacular residential design that would be contributing to the historic district if evaluated today. The Willow-Spence National Register Historic District was nominated in 1985, when the houses would not have qualified under the 50-year threshold; the district nomination does not shed any light on the justification for the determination. The East Austin Historic Resources Survey (2016) does not identify the house at 80 San Marcos, but does recommend that the house …

October 20, 2021 Terri Myers, Chair City of Austin Historic Landmark Commission Re: 80 and 82 San Marcos Street Dear Ms. Myers, Preservation Austin exists to empower Austinites to shape a more inclusive, resilient, and meaningful community culture through preservation. We write today to express our concern over the possible demolition of 80 San Marcos Street and 82 San Marcos Street, two houses in the Willow-Spence Streets Historic District, which received National Register designation in 1985. We ask the Historic Landmark Commission to support historic zoning for these significant properties in the areas of Architecture, Historical Association, and Community Value, and as contributing houses to a Willow-Spence Local Historic District, as recommended by the 2016 East Austin Historic Survey. Both houses align with Preservation Austin’s Underrepresented Heritage Advocacy Priority for their associations with Austin’s Mexican American community. They also embody the City of Austin’s priorities for the retention of neighborhood character and the mitigation of displacement. The two houses on San Marcos Street retain integrity as defined by the National Register of Historic Places and clearly convey historical significance. Preservation Austin believes the properties meet the following criteria for preservation under Austin’s current development code and priorities for mitigating the cultural displacement of residents of historic neighborhoods: Architecture: - Built in 1941 on the same lot, the houses are one-story, rectangular wood frame cottages. The - - - front-gabled central entry and decorative wood screens lend character to the street. The houses retain a high degree of integrity and structural soundness, as do most of the surrounding structures. The houses are architecturally compatible with the surrounding structures. The buildings reflect common architectural plans for the time period that emphasized economy and affordability. Historical Associations: Community Value: - - - - - - The Willow-Spence Streets Historic District and surrounding neighborhood reflect the history of the displacement of Mexican American residents from downtown toward East Austin in the early twentieth century, exacerbated in the 1950s with the construction of I-35. The properties reflect a history of providing affordable housing for Austin’s working class, whether carpenters, sales clerks, grocers, or auto mechanics. The neighborhood has strong ties to Austin’s Mexican American community, making it a high priority under the City of Austin’s goals of mitigating the displacement of communities of color and maintaining its still extant neighborhood character in the face of gentrification. The integration of residential structures, such as these two …

The addition will have a composition shingle roof, painted wood siding, and windows similar to those used on the house. 2) Retention of character-defining features on the façade, including wood windows and screens, the street-facing front door, and attic vent and decorative brackets at the gable ends. Removal and storage of a second, side-facing door from the front porch. Retention of wood siding. 3) Replacement of original wood 1:1 windows and decorative screens with 6:1 windows on side elevations. Replacement of paired windows on the south elevation with a double door. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story Craftsman bungalow clad in horizontal wood siding. The front-gabled roof has a clipped gable with decorative brackets, and the partial-width porch has a round vent below the clipped gable. The porch roof is supported by tapered box columns atop partial height brick piers. Windows are single or groupings of two to three 1:1 sash with decorative screens. The front door has three vertical lights in the upper portion. The house at 1412 Alameda Dr. was constructed around 1932 and initially occupied by a series of renters. From at least 1947–1966, Homer G. and Lillian K. Monson owned the home. Homer Monson (1920–1996) sold used furniture; newspaper articles indicate he also managed and owned several ranches. He ran an unsuccessful write-in campaign for Travis County Commissioner in 1966. Homer married Lillian Kastner in 1946. Lillian held a lengthy tenure at Austin National Bank, marking 15–20 years of employment in 1960. During that time, she advanced from a clerk to a supervisor. The couple built an addition on the rear of the house in 1952.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS OCTOBER 25, 2021 PR-21-126586 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1809 W. 29TH STREET C.6 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a new building. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS DESIGN STANDARDS Construct a new two-story residence. The proposed building will be clad in vertical fiber-cement siding and have a compound gabled roof of standing-seam metal. Stone accents surround an offset picture window at the main elevation. Other fenestration includes 2:2 irregularly placed fixed and casement windows of varying dimensions throughout, a fully glazed front door with sidelights and transom, and a front-facing metal garage door. 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 appears to be set back over 30’ from the street. 2. Orientation The proposed new building is oriented toward the primary street. However, the front-loaded garage does not comply with the design standards. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed new building is two stories in height with compound massing, whereas the surrounding contributing buildings are one story with simple massing. 4. Proportions The proposed building’s steep roof, vertical siding, and vertically oriented windows emphasize its proportions, which are at odds with the more horizontally proportioned contributing buildings in the district. 5. Design and style The proposed building is adequately differentiated from historic buildings in the district. It is somewhat compatible in materials, though its proportions, fenestration patterns, and massing are less compatible. 6. Roofs The proposed roof appears relatively simple at the street-facing elevation, enhancing its compatibility with surrounding contributing buildings. 7. Exterior walls While the exterior siding material is appropriate, its vertical orientation is incompatible with the surrounding historic buildings. The stone accent material does not appear on nearby contributing buildings; it is not compatible. 8. Windows and doors The proposed building’s sparse and irregular placement of windows is not compatible with the surrounding traditional contributing buildings; however, its use of operable and divided-light windows somewhat enhances compatibility. The offset bay window and complex glazing pattern at the front door are not compatible. The front-facing garage does not comply with the design standards. 10. Chimneys The proposed chimney is clad with masonry, which complies with the design standards. 11. Attached garages …

The remainder is clad in siding with 1:1 windows to match existing on the rest of the house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS One-story side-gabled house with partial-width porch, limestone cladding, rubble masonry chimney, and front-facing dormers. The house has 1:1 replacement windows and added porches at the Woodlawn façade. The house at 1409 Woodlawn Boulevard was built around 1937 for the Melinger family. Julia Melinger, widow of Samuel Melinger, lived in the home until at least 1964. Her two sons, Jesse and Alfred, also lived in the home with their families at varying intervals. Jesse and Phyllis Melinger, who owned and operated a jewelry store, were long-term residents. Phyllis Melinger was active in the Sisterhood of Beth Israel Temple and participated on various committees for activities benefiting the congregation during her tenure in the home. 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 removes minimal historic fabric. Existing elements, such as masonry cladding and roof railings, will be repaired. The building’s main entrance will be located on Woodlawn Boulevard instead of Enfield Road. 3. Roofs The proposed roof repair will match the existing asphalt shingle roof. The additional proposed dormer will be located between the two existing dormers and behind an existing railing; it will not be tall enough to include a window. 6. Porches The proposed project fully encloses both porches. The Enfield Road façade will be encased in wood, while the Woodlawn Boulevard addition’s sunroom will be enclosed with glass. Residential additions 1. Location The proposed addition is located at the …

As advised by you, we are attaching a rendering of the home’s elevation with the proposed modification as seen from the street along Woodlawn Blvd. The main frontage of the house is along Woodlawn Blvd and that will also be the main entrance to the property. Also, I would appreciate it if the following comment can be shared with the commission. “We moved into Clarksville in 2014 leaving behind a typical suburban home in the Bee Caves area. The cottage-style character of this house and the warm, neighborly feel of Clarksville were magnetic for us. Our house, built in 1934, is close to perfect for us. During remodeling following purchase, we went out of the way to ensure that all our efforts were directed at improving the interior while leaving the exterior unaffected, except for the addition of a deck. With the blessing of grand children, we now find ourselves in need of a little more space. The house, however, is set at the back corner of the property and the setbacks and deed restrictions limit our ability to expand in any big way. In any case, we are not interested in any changes that would affect the look and appeal of the house – whether for us or our neighbors. Hence, we have opted, in the main, to combine the existing porch and deck into a sunroom that, with sliding glass doors on all exterior walls will appear like a large porch from the street while giving us usability in all seasons. The placement of the one-room addition is also based on our desire to minimally affect profile of the house and avoid a new gabled roof as the latter would greatly change the appearance. In the attached rendition, we have tried to convey the anticipated profile of the house for our neighbors as they venture down Woodlawn Blvd. We intend that our home, with its extension, will remain just as natural an element in this historical district as it was before. Thank you for your consideration, Kapil & Sangeeta Jain” …

ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Two-story Colonial revival house clad in horizontal siding and capped with a side-gabled roof. It features 6:6 wood windows and a covered entryway with a gabled roof supported by boxed columns. The house at 1617 Westover Road was either moved onto the lot or constructed to replace an existing fire-damaged building in 1939, according to conflicting permit records and newspaper reports. Its first residents were Truett B. and Leone L. Marshall. Truett B. Marshall served as Austin’s tax assessor and collector for two multi-year terms: 1928 to 1947, and 1952 to 1963. By 1949, the Marshalls had sold the house to its next owner-occupants, the Nelsons. Dr. Ellis C. Nelson worked as a professor at the Presbyterian Theological Seminary and authored several books on religious instruction during his tenure there.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS OCTOBER 25, 2021 PR-21-139080 1000 E. 38TH STREET D.2 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1940 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH PROPERTY EVALUATION One-story, wing-and-gable plan frame cottage with minimal traditional design features; synthetic siding, a partial-width independent porch on ornamental metal posts, and single and double 1:1 fenestration. The house was built in 1940 by Maynard Anderson, who, with his wife Laura, lived here all through the historic period. Maynard Anderson was a native of Travis County and was a clerk in a drug store before managing and then opening his own drug store, which he operated until his death. The property was identified as a medium priority for preservation in the 2019 draft survey of the Hancock neighborhood, but with no recommendation for individual designation or inclusion in a potential historic district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high integrity if the current siding is original. 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 minimal traditional cottage in a neighborhood characterized by this style; there does not appear to be architectural significance that would warrant individual designation of this house over any other in the neighborhood. b. Historical association. The property was the home of a drug store operator throughout the historic period, and 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. The property does not 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 is not a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, aesthetic, cultural, or historical value to the city. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Encourage rehabilitation and adaptive reuse, then relocation over demolition, but release the permit upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package, consisting of 8.5 x 11 photographs of all elevations, printed on photographic paper, a dimensioned sketch plan, and a narrative history for archiving at the Austin History Center.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS OCTOBER 25, 2021 PR-21-139164 1601 CEDAR AVENUE D.3 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1915 house. ARCHITECTURE One-story, rectangular-plan, hipped roof, frame transitional-style house with a partial-width inset porch with a segmental- arched bargeboard, raised rail, paired battered timber posts, and boxed panel spandrels; replacement single 6:6 fenestration; central, hipped roof frame attic vent dormer. RESEARCH According to Travis County real estate records, Mack Blocker purchased this property in the fall of 1914. The lot was across the street from his wife’s father’s property. He and his wife, the former Gertrude Parker, lived here until their deaths. Mack Blocker worked a variety of jobs, typical of African-American men in the first part of the 20th century: laborer, porter, truck driver, and janitor. He died in 1927, and his widow, Gertrude, continued to live in this house for decades to come. Gertrude Blocker apparently never remarried, and supported herself with work as a maid and cook for a private family. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property is recommended as contributing to a potential historic district by the East Austin Historic Resources Survey (2016). Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain medium to high integrity. 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 a good example of a transitional house, a period representing a bridge between the Victorian styles known for their architectural ornamentation and the more reserved and smaller-scale bungalow styles of the 1920s. Transitional houses were generally taller than the later bungalows, but began to exhibit a lower form than the Victorians of the past; a slow move from verticality to horizontality. Although the windows have been replaced, the house reflects a high degree of integrity for its age, and is also unusual for its continuous ownership by a Black family in an era where a house like this would have likely started off with white owners. The house appears to have architectural significance. b. Historical association. The property was owned and occupied by Mack Blocker and his widow, Gertrude Blocker, during the entire historic period. Both Mack and Gertrude Blocker worked in professions typifying Black life in Austin in the early 20th century: janitor, porter, laborer, cook, and maid. After Mack Blocker’s …
