HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS DECEMBER 14, 2022 GF-2022-138179 1800 GUADALUPE STREET 28 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Demolish a ca. 1923 apartment building and detached garage. Three-story Colonial Revival-Federalist Style building composed of painted brick on the central portion of the building, wood siding on the side additions, and stucco on the front and rear porch overhangs. Hip-gabled metal seam roof with two chimneys, five dormers on the front of the building, four dormers on the rear, and a single dormer on each side of the building above small rooftop decks. 6:6 wood windows throughout except for 4, 12:12 windows on the front of the building, and a classic Palladian window with a simple masonry arch over the main entry with fanlight and sidelight. The building located at 1800 Guadalupe St was constructed as an apartment building sometime around 1923. The apartments were referred to as the Carmen Apartments from 1924-1959, per city directory research. Sisters Alice and Eunice Carman, daughters of Robert Clarke and Alice Carman, built the apartments for an estimated $18,000, according to a 1923 article. Alice Carman lived in and owned the building from 1952 until her death in 1962. It is remarkable that the property was built by two women in 1923. It was just shortly earlier in 1900 that every state had passed legislation granting married women the right to keep their own wages and to own property in their own name. The legal right of women to own and manage property is equal to men today, but full financial autonomy for women didn’t come about until late in the 20th century. It wasn’t until the mid-1970s that a woman could access a line of credit independently without a man to cosign her application. Ten years later, the courts ruled that a husband doesn’t have the right to unilaterally take out a second mortgage on property held jointly with his wife. Despite legal protections for property rights, women still struggle against a real estate gender gap. Research points out that women spend an average of two percent more than men to purchase a home and get two percent less return on their investment when reselling, a significant obstacle to economic parity that has yet to be overcome, and such inequalities may help explain part of the overall gender gap in wealth accumulation.1 Despite such inequalities, the Carman sisters built 1800 Guadalupe …

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Eric John Matthies Friday, December 9, 2022 1:28 PM HPD Preservation Case #GF 22-169711 Follow Up Flag: Flag Status: Follow up Flagged . Learn why this is important at [You don't often get email from https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification ] *** External Email ‐ Exercise Caution *** Hello I am writing about the landmark commission application meeting for the property at 801 W. Johanna St While the public commission meeting is scheduled for the 14th it would appear that some demolition has already begun in the front yard area. Further, the back gate has been left disabled and open, as is the back door of the property. As close neighbors to the property we have concerns about this landmark craftsman being demolished, and the apparent haste with which the demo company and or the new property owners are treating the house and land prior to the hearing. Leaving the home accessible while obviously vacant is a concern for our neighborhood which already sees an increase in theft and burglary. Beginning to announce the demolition, and in fact appearing to have begun the work prior to a proper hearing is in the least, disrespectful of the neighborhood and neighbors. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Eric Matthies ‐ The universe is ceaselessly creative. ‐ CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

20 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 2, 2022 HR-2022-152879 WILLOW-SPENCE 1020 SPENCE STREET PROPOSAL Partially demolish and construct an addition to the rear side of a ca. 1912 contributing building. Construct a garage apartment at rear of lot. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Construct a rear addition two-story addition to the existing one-story house. The addition is connected to the main house by a glass hyphen. It is clad in stack bond brick, stucco, and vertical wood siding. The roofline is mostly flat and clad in TPO, save for a small section of standing-seam metal shed roofing. Fenestration is mostly fixed, undivided, and vertically oriented. 2) Construct a two-story detached garage apartment with alley access at the rear of the lot. Proposed finishes and roofline appear to match the new addition. 3) Replace siding, windows, and roof and move the front door at the main house. Construct an accessible ramp and handrail to the front porch. The proposed window and door replacements modify original openings and window configurations. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story National Folk house with pyramidal hipped roof, board-and-batten siding, and inset partial-width porch supported by turned posts. Fenestration includes double entry doors and 1:1 wood windows. The 1985 Willow-Spence National Register Historic District nomination describes the house as “a one-story, board-and-batten cottage with a hipped roof and corner porch. Many architectural details are intact, including a Victorian comer-porch column. New elements include a cement foundation, steps, and porch floor.”1 The house at 1020 Spence was constructed around 1912 as a rental property. Its architectural details share many similarities with “Hofheinz houses,” distinctive National Folk houses rented out in East Austin to working-class families during the early years of the twentieth century by Edmund and Oscar Hofheinz. From the East Austin Context Statement (East Austin Historic Resource Survey), Vol. 1, p. I-40: The first two decades of the 1900s were rampant with development throughout the East Austin survey area …residential construction in these new developments reflected evolving trends in domestic designs, as the eclectic tastes of the Victorian era waned and simpler styles and detailing became more widespread. Among the poor and working classes, new house types began to replace more traditional forms. The linear, one‐room‐deep plans that featured gabled roofs…gave way to a new generation of houses with deeper, more box‐like plans and often had hipped or pyramidal roofs with inset porches. The effect …
