HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS DECEMBER 13, 2023 HR-2023-149931; GF-2023-150410 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 2716 WOOLDRIDGE DRIVE 18 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1940 house. Construct a new residence and pool. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The proposed new residence is eclectic in style, with elements of Dutch Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, and Gothic Revival styles. It is three stories in height, with a compound roofline clad in copper, slate, and architectural shingles with copper finials at gable ends and turret. Roof forms include traditional gables, a turret with cupola, catslide entryway, and gambrel. Exterior cladding includes limestone, sandstone, limewashed brick, limewashed stucco, and decorative faux half- timbering. Fenestration is varied throughout and includes arched doorways and a variety of Tudor Revival-style leaded glass windows of varying dimensions. The detached garage apartment faces the primary streetscape. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS The existing building is a one-story house with a cross-gabled roof, partial-width porch behind a simple loggia, attached carport, and brick cladding. The house at 2716 Wooldridge Drive was constructed around 1940. Its long-term residents were Helen and Harry Joseph. Harry Joseph, whose family owned several prominent businesses during the twentieth century, operated Harry’s Liquor Store and Schoonerville, a beer store. Eventually, Joseph and his father opened Centennial Liquor, as well as Austin’s first import business.1 The Josephs remained in the home until at least 1972. 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 primary building appears appropriately set back; however, the garage apartment is located at the front of the lot. 2. Orientation The proposed house is oriented toward the primary streetscape. The proposed garage apartment is not oriented consistently with similar outbuildings in the district. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed building is larger in scale, taller in height, and more complex in massing than most contributing buildings in the district. 4. Proportions The proposed building’s proportions do not appear consistent with contributing buildings in the district. 5. Design and style The proposed building’s eclectic design and style, while differentiated from other buildings in the district, is not compatible. 6. Roofs The proposed roof form and materials do not reflect the styles of contributing buildings …

The existing building was approved for demolition by the Historic Landmark Commission in November 2023. The proposed new building is a one-story Tudor Revival house, clad in painted brick with a compound roofline and divided- light windows. 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 house and garage appear appropriately set back and sited. 2. Orientation The proposed buildings match the orientations of contributing buildings in the district. 3. Scale, massing, and height The building’s scale and height appear appropriate; however, its massing is more complex than most contributing buildings’ massing nearby. 4. Proportions The building’s proportions are somewhat compatible; though the steep gables emphasize its height, they are stylistically appropriate. 5. Design and style The building’s design and style appear internally consistent. The Tudor Revival detailing is appropriate for the district’s period of significance and appears sufficiently differentiated. 6. Roofs The compound roofline is much more complex than surrounding contributing buildings’ rooflines. 7. Exterior walls The proposed painted brick is compatible. 8. Windows and doors Fenestration is mostly compatible and helps to differentiate the building. Summary The project meets most of the applicable standards. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Comment on plans, encouraging simpler massing. LOCATION MAP 27 – 2
Historical landmark commission, As the owner representative of our family’s estate we are wholeheartedly in agreement for a demolition permit to be issued. There are severe foundation and structural roofing conditions that have been prevalent for years that we have dealt with. We feel that there is nothing about our home that would contribute to a national historical district. Again we approve and support a demolition permit to be issued so we can better help and serve our family. Historical landmark commission, As the owner and representative of my family’s estate, we wholeheartedly, approve and agree on a demolition permit for the structure. The failing roof and foundation have been a problem for years. We also feel there is zero contributing attributes of this home and its shape, appearance or materials used that word contribute any kind of significance at all to a national historical registry.

19 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JANUARY 10, 2024 HR-2023-155105 WILSHIRE WOOD NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 4106 LULLWOOD ROAD PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS PROPOSAL shingled roof. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS Construct an addition to a ca. 1951 house. Remodel the garage and replace doors and windows at rear of house. Install new door in place of existing window. 1) Construct an addition to the front of the garage toward the street. The proposed addition is clad in wood siding, with a 2) Add a roll-up door the rear of the existing garage. 3) Replace door and windows at rear of house. Replace window at front of house with door. One-story Ranch house with cutstone veneer, multilight sliding and casement windows, and front-facing garage. 4106 Lullwood Road was built in 1951. Its first occupants were Carl G. and Lois Shepard. Carl Shepard owned and operated a furniture distribution company located on East 6th Street. By 1959, it had been sold to rancher Earl Tucker, and to R. S. Merrill by 1970. 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 historic material from the building’s exterior. 4. Exterior walls and trim The proposed wood siding differentiates the new material from the old; however, it partially replaces some of the original cutstone cladding. 5. Windows, doors, and screens While most of the window replacements are at the rear of the building and are therefore appropriate, the replacement of a front window with a door is not compatible. 8. Attached garages and carports The proposed garage alterations somewhat maintain the existing proportions and roofline, though changes will be highly visible from the street. Summary The project somewhat meets the applicable standards. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Wilshire Wood 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 does not meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building is a good example of the vernacular Ranch style. b. Historical association. The property does not appear …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JANUARY 10, 2024 HR-2023-128292 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 3001 FUNSTON STREET 21 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a new residence. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS DESIGN STANDARDS The proposed new building is two stories in height and capped with a compound shed and cross-gabled roof with decorative cedar brackets at gable ends. It is clad in board-and-batten and horizontal siding and features fixed and single-hung windows. The proposed garage is located at the secondary 30th Street elevation. 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 is located roughly at the center of the corner lot. 2. Orientation The proposed new building’s orientation is consistent with the orientation of the previous contributing building. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed building is larger in scale and height and more complex in massing than nearby contributing buildings; however, its design utilizes step-downs in building form that helps to minimize the building’s overall scale. 4. Proportions Proposed proportions are somewhat compatible. 5. Design and style The proposed design and style is consistent, but only somewhat reflects the surrounding district. 6. Roofs The compound roof is more complex than contributing buildings’ roofs. The triangular brackets at gable ends may give the appearance of false historicism, though this may be mitigated by the rest of the building’s modern design elements. 7. Exterior walls Exterior walls are somewhat appropriate, though board-and-batten appears mostly on outbuildings rather than historic-age primary buildings. 8. Windows and doors Proposed fenestration is mostly compatible at primary elevations. 9. Porches The proposed porch is mostly compatible. 11. Attached garages and carports The proposed garage is set back from the front wall of the house. Summary The project meets some of the applicable standards. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Comment on plans.
