HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS DECEMBER 13, 2023 HR-2023-122500; GF-2023-130943 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK 1010 HARWOOD PLACE PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish a ca. 1935 house and construct a new residence, ADU, and pool. The proposed new primary building is two stories, clad in stucco and horizontal siding and capped with a standing seam metal roof. It has a compound roofline and undivided fixed windows of varying proportions placed at irregular intervals throughout. The proposed ADU is two stories in height and constructed to match the main house. It has a rear-facing garage. The original portion of the house at 1010 Harwood Place is one story, with a symmetrical plan and side-gabled roof. Its central stoop is sheltered by a gabled portico with Classical Revival columns and traditional cornice returns. The house has a two-story rear addition and gabled side addition with fireplace, mostly constructed within the period of significance. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH 1010 Harwood Place was constructed around 1935. Early residents included Hoyt and Jessie Henderson, who rented the property. Hoyt Henderson was the chief operator at the Western Union Telephone Company. The house was sold to C. Morley and Frances Bartholemew, who lived there throughout the 1940s. Morley Bartholemew worked as a salesman and an engineer. During the 1950s, Raymond Williams, who worked for the Western Republic Life Insurance Company, purchased the home. 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 main building is located 25’ from the primary street, and the rear building and garage are located to the rear of the primary building and adjacent to the alley. 2. Orientation The primary building is oriented toward Harwood Place, and the secondary structure toward the alley. 3. Scale, massing, and height Both buildings are larger in scale and taller in height than the surrounding contributing buildings. Their massing does not appear to reflect surrounding contributing buildings’ massing. 4. Proportions The buildings’ proportions do not appear compatible with surrounding contributing buildings’ proportions. 5. Design and style Both buildings are consistent in design and style, but do not reflect the character of the district. 6. Roofs The proposed rooflines are generally more complex than contributing buildings’ rooflines, though …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JANUARY 10, 2024 PR-2023-155098 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK NATIONAL REGISTER DISTRICT 402 LOCKHART DRIVE 14 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS Partially demolish and remodel a ca. 1939 house. One- and one-half story cross-gabled house with modern shed-roof two-story addition at rear; features horizontal wood siding, a partial-width porch, and 1:1 wood windows. The house at 402 Lockhart Drive was constructed in 1939 by T. C. Steiner. Its first owner, electrician Durward Waggoner, lived there only a year before selling the house to Mozelle and John T. Warren. John Warren worked as a public health instructor. The Warrens lived in the home until the end of the 1950s. The house then became a rental property, housing short-term occupants including a construction foreman and a National Guardsman. 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 design standards apply to the proposed project: Residential additions 1. Location The proposed additions are located atop the existing house. 2. Scale, massing, and height The proposed additions substantially increase the scale and height of the existing 1 ½ -story house and bring the bulk of the massing to the front elevation. 3. Design and style The proposed design and style are mostly appropriate. 4. Roofs The proposed compound roofline is more complex than the contributing rooflines in the district. 5. Exterior walls The proposed siding is appropriate. 6. Windows, screens, and doors The proposed fenestration appears compatible. 9. Attached garages and carports The proposed front-facing garage is not compatible with the district. Summary The project meets some of the applicable standards, though it changes the contributing building entirely. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate integrity. A two-story addition and fence were added in 2017. The original window screens have been removed. 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 …

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The proposed addition is two stories in height. It is clad in horizontal siding, which will be installed throughout. Its roofline mirrors that of the original house, with a clipped side gable and central gablet. Windows are 1:1 throughout, and doors are fully-glazed sliders at secondary elevations. The north elevation features a second-floor balcony with a covered patio below. One-story Craftsman with horizontal wood siding, screened wood windows, decorative shutters, a hooded entryway with decorative brackets, and a clipped-gable roof. The house at 1409 Alta Vista Avenue was built around 1926. Until 1947, its occupants were mostly short-term owners and renters, including an engineer, a state highway inspector, an office manager, and a mechanic. The home was then purchased by Frank and Lura Connolly. Frank Connolly was the editor, owner, and publisher of the Texas Tax Journal, while Lura worked both at the journal and as a Red Cross nurse. The Connollys sold the home in the late 1950s to Anna and William Duncum. William Duncum worked as a public school teacher. 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 removes some windows at secondary façades to accommodate the addition. It replaces existing siding with fiber cement siding. Residential additions 1. Location The proposed addition is located at the rear and side of the existing house, set approximately 17’ back from the front wall. 2. Scale, massing, and height The proposed addition appears mostly compatible in scale and massing, though a single story would be more compatible. 3. Design and style The proposed addition’s design and style are largely compatible. 4. Roofs The proposed roof form and materials are compatible. 5. Exterior walls The proposed siding is compatible; however, variations in siding could be used to differentiate original parts of the building from the new parts. 6. Windows, screens, and doors Proposed fenestration appears compatible. 7. Porches and decks Though the porch at the north …

23 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS DECEMBER 13, 2023 HR-2023-118825 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 514 EAST LIVE OAK STREET PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Demolish a house constructed between 1917 and 1930 and construct a new building. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The proposed new building is two and one-half stories in height. It is clad in stucco, horizontal siding, and brick veneer. Its compound roof is clad in standing-seam metal. Fenestration includes fixed and casement windows with various lite configurations, a partially glazed front door, and a front-facing garage. One-story bungalow with pyramidal hipped roof with intersecting porch gable; partial width inset porch; and horizontal siding. Decorative details include exposed rafter tails and remnants of jigsawn brackets. The house at 514 East Live Oak Street, addressed as both 400 East Live Oak and 2119 Brooklyn in archival documents, is identified in the National Register inventory as a 1917 structure. Though the building does not appear in City directories until the 1930s, its modified form and details suggest an earlier build than the 1930 water tap permit. The Plumley family are the earliest documented residents; they appear to have sold the house in the early 1930s after being caught storing liquor illegally at the house. In the late 1930s into the 1940s, the home was occupied by J. Buford Smith, a bookkeeper at the State Highway Department, and his wife, Katherine. In the 1950s, the house appears to have been primarily a rental property, with residents including a mill operator and a dry cleaner. 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 house is set back approximately 15’, per average setback on the block. 2. Orientation The proposed building is oriented toward the primary streetscape, with a front-facing garage that does not meet the standards. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed building’s scale, massing, and height all appear much larger and more monolithic than the surrounding buildings, though the changes in mass heights and other wall-plane offsets appear to mitigate some of the incompatibility. 4. Proportions The proposed building’s proportions do not appear to reflect the contributing properties’ proportions, except for the porch. 5. Design and style The …
