HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS FEBRUARY 7, 2024 HR-2024-005097 SIXTH STREET NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 514 EAST SIXTH STREET 18 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Remodel and convert a ca. 1885 commercial building to a restaurant. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Repair and repaint the existing brick façade. 2) Replace non-historic fixed windows with more appropriate 1:1 wood-clad sash windows. 3) Replace the storefront within the existing openings, retaining existing corrugated metal paneling. 4) Add a painted metal awning. 514 E. 6th Street is a two-story brick structure with brick molds in a zigzag pattern and detailed brick cornice. The brick façade has been painted since the 1975 survey. The existing storefront is altered, with changes beginning during the 1950s according to City permits. Built before 1885, 514 East 6th Street appears on Sanborn maps as the earliest two-story building constructed entirely of brick on this block; its elaborate detailing on the second floor emphasizes that this building was likely an expensively crafted showpiece designed to draw customers. Listed as a grocery store with live-in tenants until 1889—including Dr. Quentin Neale, an African American physician and surgeon who officed and likely lived in the building--and then as a saloon in 1894, it soon transitioned into housing nearly a hundred years of retail sales. Addie and Albert Rysinger, Black business owners who worked as a milliner and a shoemaker, operated their business alongside a tailor shop, restaurant, and bakery at 514 East 6th for about 15 years, until Addie Rysinger appears to have taken over the restaurant portion of the business. By the 1920s, a series of furniture stores, a stove repair company, and a plumbing and heating business occupied the building. By the 1930s, African American businessman W. D. Lyons had purchased the building and constructed a new “sister” building next door at 516 East 6th, which eventually became a paint store. Notably, either the upper floor or a rear building was the home of the American Woodmen, a Black fraternal and benefits organization begun in Austin by Cassius M. White and Granville W. Norman at the turn of the century.1 By the 1950s, the Woodmen boasted about 50,000 members.2 By the 1960s, both buildings contained businesses owned by the Olson family under the Southern Investments umbrella. 514 focused on appliances and foreign car sales, while 516 housed the finance offices.

19 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS FEBRUARY 7, 2024 HR-2024-005147 SIXTH STREET NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 603 RED RIVER STREET PROPOSAL Remodel a ca. 1889-1900 building from a bar to a restaurant. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Repair and repaint the existing brick façade. 2) Remove non-historic accretions and connections at secondary elevations. Add a new shade structure and plantings at the north elevation. 3) Add brick detail on the west façade. 4) Retain the existing openings and replace the storefront. Reopen infilled openings at secondary elevations. 5) Replace awning. One-story masonry garage building with two bay doors, a metal awning with enlarged brackets, simple cornice detailing, and infilled arched openings at secondary elevations. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH The building at 603 Red River Street, alternately addressed as 601 and 605 Red River Street, was most likely first constructed as a one-bay frame structure with a stovepipe visible on 1889 Sanborn maps. By 1900, the building was reclad, and a masonry addition had been built to add the second (northernmost) bay. It appears to have been built and used as a blacksmith shop until 1920, when it was converted to an auto service station; by 1935 an addition had been constructed. A motorcycle and automobile repair shop shared the building until 1927, when both halves were occupied by Raven’s Garage. Raven’s stayed in business until at least 1959. Jesse L. Raven, a World War I veteran who enlisted at eighteen, opened the shop upon his return from the war. Raven was also an officer of the American Legion and executive officer of the Texas State Rifle Association; he remained a nationally recognized top marksman for much of the early twentieth century. According to a 2015 staff report by Historic Preservation Officer Steve Sadowsky for the Raven family home in Travis Heights (which was later demolished, despite the staff recommendation for landmark designation), the Raven’s Garage legacy continued after its days as a functional garage ended: Jesse Raven, along with his brother, Louis, grew up in Austin and were auto mechanics from a very early age. They opened Raven’s Garage at 605 Red River Street in the early 1920s and were in business at that location until around 1980. The building on Red River Street was then a live music club called Raven’s Garage for a couple of years in the 1980s, and later became Emo’s, the stalwart of …

20 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS FEBRUARY 7, 2024 PR-2023-158329; GF-2023-161497 2802 PEARCE LANE Demolish a ca. 1910 house and outbuilding. ARCHITECTURE PROPOSAL RESEARCH One-story rustic cabin with a Craftsman-style, shingle-clad front gable; deep front porch supported by simple posts atop massive, tapered stone piers; 6:6 wood windows; and rustic stone cladding throughout. The lot also contains a small, windowless stone outbuilding, consistent in appearance with Texas vernacular smokehouses or springhouses. As the property was annexed in 1982, historic-age research is largely unavailable from public sources. However, TCAD records indicate that the building’s legal description is Lot 1 of the Leigh Subdivision, with the plat filed in 1968, and that Mrs. Amelia Leigh, wife of the late Horage R. Leigh, owned the property. During the 1940s, the Leighs lived in Gonzales, and during the ‘50s, they lived across the river bend on Mt. Barker Drive. The building is directly adjacent to the Ski Shores marina. Aerial photographs show that the building was associated with small-scale farmland into the 1940s, though TCAD records indicate it was built in 1910. PROPERTY EVALUATION 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, but research on its occupancy and associations is incomplete: a. Architecture. The building is a good example of Texas vernacular architecture, combining classic Craftsman styling with rough rustic stone and unpainted woodwork. b. Historical association. The property was not able to be evaluated for its associations due to limitations on c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human available public research materials. 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 was not evaluated for its ability to possess a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, aesthetic, cultural, or historical value to the city. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Either encourage rehabilitation and adaptive reuse but release the demolition upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package, or postpone the public hearing …

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Remove non-original aluminum siding and repair wood siding beneath, replacing in-kind where needed. 2) Replace non-original windows and reopen infilled windows. 3) Replace roof in-kind with new shingles. 4) Repair or replace missing or deteriorated elements, including rafter ends, window screens, brackets, gable vent, and fascia. Non-original porch detailing will not be reconstructed. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS One-story Craftsman bungalow with horizontal wood siding, a full-width porch beneath a wide gabled roof, and a historic- age gabled rear addition. Some of the building’s character-defining features are missing, including brick porch piers likely removed during aluminum siding installation. The windows have been replaced, but the original openings have not been modified. Please review the information provided by the property owner below in Historical information on Ethel McDonald Jackson, Elmer Q. Jackson, and their family’s significant community impact in Robertson Hill. 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 potential historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 1. General standards The proposal mostly repairs or replaces historic material in-kind. 3. Roofs The proposed replacement shingles and roof repair are appropriate. 4. Exterior walls and trim Removal of aluminum siding and repair of underlying siding is appropriate. 5. Windows, doors, and screens The existing vinyl replacement windows are not appropriate. Repair of existing historic-age windows for use at the front of the building, as specified on the demolition sheet provided, is appropriate as long as dimensions remain consistent. The reopening of historic-age openings that have been enclosed is appropriate, provided that the new fenestration is compatible in materials, size, and configuration. The replacement of missing historic-age screens as specified in the demolition sheet is appropriate and encouraged. 6. Porches The proposed project does not recreate non-historic porch elements, which is appropriate; however, replacing the brick piers and tapered posts supporting the gabled porch from available photographs would restore a significant character-defining feature to this potential landmark. Summary The project meets most of the applicable standards, but vinyl window replacement may preclude the property from retaining the integrity …

ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story cross-gabled Ranch dwelling with stone veneer, a two-story rear addition, and a detached garage. The house at 1403 Elton Lane was built in 1950 by Kelly DeBusk. It is unclear whether Kelly DeBusk, Sr. or Kelly DeBusk, Jr. is listed on the initial permit for the home, as both father and son were involved in the construction industry: DeBusk, Sr. as the manager of the Lamar Lumber Company, and DeBusk, Jr. as an architectural engineer and prominent Austin homebuilder. Kelly DeBusk, Sr. and his wife, Katie DeBusk, lived in the home until DeBusk, Sr.’s death in 1952. Katie DeBusk continued to live in the home until at least the 1960s, renting out half of the duplex to students, servicemen, and others. DeBusk was the only child of an early pioneering family in Bell County, and was active in charitable organizations and University of Texas service clubs until her death in 1971. PROPERTY EVALUATION Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate integrity. Modern outbuildings and a modern two-story addition have been added to the rear of the property, though they are set far back from the street. Windows have been replaced. 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 is associated with the DeBusk family. 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.

ARCHITECTURE PROPOSAL RESEARCH One-story rectangular-plan house with corrugated metal roof, 1:1 wood windows, horizontal wood siding, and a steeply pitched gablet supported by decorative triangular brackets above the entry stoop. The house at 508 El Paso Street was built before 1949; the earliest evidence of its existence is a tap permit from 1948, though it appears to have been built in a much earlier style. Its first residents to appear in City directories were Hazel and Forrest Bowers, who sold the house to George and LaVerne Pickle. George Pickle worked as a mechanic at the Lopez Garage. The Pickles did not stay in the house long; by 1952, Christoval and Janie Sosa had purchased the home for their family. Christoval worked as an installer at Dill-Challstrom’s, who sold Venetian blinds and carports, and Janie worked as an office secretary for the R. C. Foster Company. PROPERTY EVALUATION 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).

ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH 711 West Monroe Street is a one-story L-plan house with a double hipped roof and a partial-width porch supported by boxed columns. It has 2:2 wood and aluminum windows and horizontal siding. The house at 711 West Monroe, addressed alternatively as 705 West Monroe, appears to have been built between 1904 and 1906. Its first occupants were the Wimberly family, who remained in the home until around 1934. Jim Wimberly worked as a carpenter, a saloon operator, and a grocer. He and his wife, Matilda, also owned the Wimberly Filling Station on South First Street for a short time. After building a new house on South First in 1934, the Wimberlys sold the house to Charles Douglas and Mary Benson. Charley Benson worked as a carpenter, a machinist, and superintendent at Wager Memorial Presbyterian Church, where he also served as a deacon. Mary Benson worked as a bookbinder at the Steck Company. They had four children and lived in the home until at least 1959. PROPERTY EVALUATION The 2016 Bouldin Creek survey lists the property as a medium priority and contributing to a potential historic district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate integrity. The building appears to have been added on to and clad with aluminum siding outside the period of significance, though the porch modifications date to the historic period and have gained significance in their own right. 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 constructed with National Folk and Classical-style influences. 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. The property does not appear 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.
