HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 14, 2021 HR-2021-154877 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1411 ETHRIDGE AVENUE C.1 – 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. Toward the end of the historic period, in the late 1960s, the Villaseñor family moved into the house. Lois Villaseñor, along with her husband Charles, had opened Mission Funeral Home on East Cesar Chavez Street—the first funeral parlor that catered to Latinos in segregated Austin—in the 1950s. According to her obituary, Villaseñor “was one of only a handful of women to graduate from a mortuary college in Houston [in 1961]. She was the first Latino woman to serve on the Texas Funeral Service Commission as a 1989 appointee of Gov. Bill Clements. She also served on the boards of Catholic charities and Latino political groups, serving at one point as the president of the local LULAC council.”1 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 Lois and Charles Villaseñor, Claude A. Williams, and c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS MAY 4, 2022 HR-2022-016431; PR 2022-002618 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK 1803 KENWOOD AVE C.4 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish a circa 1937 single-story residence and replace it with a new construction single-family residence. 1) Total demolition of existing contributing single-family residence built-in 1937. 2) Construction of new single-family residence with in-ground pool in rear, garage, and carport. The proposed primary building is a two-story minimalist style. It features a compound roofline, fixed-pane, and casement full-light fenestration in irregular pattern; dark grey brick on the first story and light-colored exterior stucco cladding on the slightly overhanging second story. The rear second-story elevation has a small rear balcony with a horizontal metal railing overlooking the pool. Designs indicate a side entry garage and direct neighboring carport located in front of the residence. A horizontal wood fence is situated directly in front of the carport, which shields the carport and garage from direct view from the street. The roofline was changed to a front-gabled form after meeting with the Architecture Review Committee on March 18, 2022. The windows were changed to a regular fenestration pattern on the front façade, a small covered front porch and additional brick were also added to the primary facade, and the wood fence and garage were removed. The carport was turned to face the street directly. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Wood frame, single-story, residential construction on pier and beam foundation. The structure is of the Minimal Traditional style with a side gable with a front-facing cross gable design. It is typical of Minimal Traditional design with horizontal wood siding, two sets of symmetrical multi-pane, 6:6 wood windows flanked by slim, simple shutters. There is a small, round gable vent in the front-facing gable façade. The single door entry has a concrete landing and is covered with a wooden awning supported by decorative wooden brackets. The awning is a continuation of the asphalt roof. There is a thin, slightly turned metal balustrade and railing on the front concrete steps and landing. 1803 Kenwood Avenue was likely built by the prominent dentist and civic activist Dr. R.L. Struhall in 1937. Dr. Struhall and his wife Lillian Parma had moved to 1805 Kenwood by 1942. According to City Directories, in 1941, 1803, Kenwood was owned by Raymond W., Jr. and his wife, Marjorie M. Ramsey. Raymond was employed at the R & R Service …

It is essential to the historic fabric of this historic community. There are many others who have decided to maintain the historic nature of their homes by adding to their needs.

Anyone who is going to make an investment in our community should understand the need to maintain the intrinsic nature of the homes here and the long term value.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS MARCH 28, 2022 HR-2022-026102 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK 1205 ALTA VISTA AVENUE C.6 – 1 Demolish existing two-story duplex and secondary building and construct a new three-story single-family house. PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS 1) Demolish existing house and rear garage apartment. 2) Construct a three-story house. The proposed building is flat-roofed and clad in stucco, board-and-batten, tongue-and- groove siding, and cedar slats. Fenestration includes fixed undivided windows and casement windows with irregular spacing, proportions, and orientation throughout; a front-facing garage; and sliding glass doors. The primary building at 1205 Alta Vista Avenue is a two-story cross-gabled duplex with horizontal siding, 6:6 wood windows, arched six-light accent windows, and composition shingle roof. 1205 Alta Vista Avenue was constructed around 1939 for Mary G. Sanders, along with a garage.1 A rear dwelling unit was constructed later. It appears to have been constructed as a duplex, and mostly housed two families in the main building and one in the rear unit. Renters were largely short-term and included a cattle buyer, a meat inspector, a bookkeepers, students, and oil company employees. 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 set back approximately 25’, in line with historic-age buildings on the street. 2. Orientation The proposed new building’s orientation is consistent with the predominant orientation of contributing buildings on the same block. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed new building is three stories, while nearby contributing buildings are one and two stories; its floor-to-floor and foundation height does not appear consistent with nearby contributing buildings. Its monolithic massing is not compatible with the district. 4. Proportions The proposed building’s proportions are not compatible with those of contributing buildings on the block. 5. Design and style The proposed building is differentiated from historic buildings and its details are consistent with its style, but its overall design is at odds with the historic district in terms of scale, massing, proportions, patterns, and some materials. 1 "Real Estate Transaction 1 -- no Title."

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS MAY 4, 2022 HR-2022-045738 FAIRVIEW PARK-TRAVIS HEIGHTS 303 E. LIVE OAK C.7 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS DESIGN STANDARDS New construction of a single-family residence on an open lot in the Fairview Park-Travis Heights NRHD. 1) New construction of two-story, single-family residence with attached side carport and pool in the rear 2) Exterior materials are white and charcoal stucco, wood siding, and black stone 3) Roof is a black metal seam roof with a rear hip form (changed from a shed after ARC meeting) 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 the Fairview Park-Travis Heights National Register district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction The size, scale, massing, height, proportions, materials, and design orientation were generally accepted at the ARC meeting on April 11, 2022, and are compatible with Design Guidelines. 6. Roofs The ARC requested that the design have a gable on the primary facade to add a more traditional profile to the street, particularly a center gable presence on the single-story if possoble. The design revision lost the shed roofline in favor of a hip form that is more compatible with the district. 7. Exterior walls The exterior walls are comprised of stucco, brick, and wood. Stucco is not generally a compatible material choice. However, brick and wood are appropriate. 8. Windows and doors The ARC suggested taking fenestration cues from 307 E. Live Oak street. The fenestration pattern was revised after the ARC meeting. The windows on both the first and second story were separated into separated vertical proportions similar to those at 307 E. Live Oak and are now more compatible with the design standards and contributing properties in the district. 9. Porches ARC found the porches generally acceptable but requested the 1st-floor porch be a more significant feature if possible. The design was revised from a flat porch awning to a more substantial angled awning design and the color was changed from light to dark giving the porch a heavier visual effect. Summary The project meets the applicable standards. COMMITTEE FEEDBACK The ARC found the carport and front porch compatible, but the rooflines did not blend. ARC requested if the design could have more of a gable on the facade facing …

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish existing garage. 2) Relocate porch windows to center on gable. 3) Replace partially glazed front door with solid paneled door. 4) Replace all existing windows. Replacements include 1:1 sash windows, fixed undivided windows, and undivided casement windows. 5) Add trim and paint brick piers. 6) Replace existing shingle roof with standing-seam metal roof. 7) Replace siding and trim at gable ends, and repair damaged teardrop siding throughout. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH 1707 Alta Vista Avenue is a one-story Craftsman bungalow clad in horizontal wood siding with a cross-gabled and hipped roof. Its partial-width porch is supported by short, tapered stucco columns atop brick piers. Its partially glazed front door is sheltered beneath a gabled hood with ornate trim and triangular brackets. 1:1 sash windows are found throughout at the original portion of the house. The rear garage is a simple gable-roofed structure clad in board-and-batten siding, with exposed rafter tails at eaves. The house and garage at 1707 Alta Vista Avenue were built by T. C. Steiner in 1938. The property’s earliest occupants, Mozelle and Arthur Green, owned the home only a year. By 1941, it had been purchased by Benjamin and Gladys Berry. Gladys Berry worked as a stenographer, while Benjamin Berry worked as a store manager before opening his own coffee shop. After the Berry family’s tenure at the home, Berry was shot and killed while working as a Travis County Sheriff’s Deputy. After the Berrys left Travis Heights in the early 1950s, the home passed to I. R. S. examiner E. Ruth Morgan. 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 historic material from the primary building’s exterior and demolishes the historic-age garage. 3. Roofs The proposed project replaces a shingle roof with a standing-seam metal roof. 4. Exterior walls and trim The proposed project repairs, rather than replaces, the house’s teardrop siding. However, it removes original molding from side elevations and applies additional trim to porch …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS MAY 4, 2022 HR-2022--051589 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK 1503 ALTA VISTA AVENUE C.9 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a new building. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS DESIGN STANDARDS The proposed new building is two stories in height. It has a compound gabled standing-seam metal roof and is clad in a combination of vertical wood siding and masonry veneer. Fenestration is mostly undivided and irregular throughout. A shed-roof dormer projects at the south 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 building appears to be appropriately set back from the street. 2. Orientation The proposed building and parking area appear to have consistent orientation with other buildings on the street. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed building’s scale and height appear appropriate for the district, though its somewhat monolithic massing is not compatible with surrounding contributing buildings. 4. Proportions The proposed building’s proportions are not consistent with surrounding contributing buildings. 5. Design and style The building’s design and style appear appropriately differentiated from historic-age buildings, though it does not appear compatible with the street. 6. Roofs The building’s gabled roof form is somewhat compatible, though the dormer at the south elevation is less compatible. 7. Exterior walls The building’s exterior masonry cladding is somewhat compatible. The vertical siding at the second floor may make the building appear more vertically oriented than it is, increasing the risk of potentially overwhelming its neighbors. 8. Windows and doors The proposed building’s undivided and irregular windows and full-pane front entry are not compatible with surrounding contributing buildings. 9. Porches The recessed partial-width porch is not a style that appears on contributing buildings in the district, and its cantilevered second floor may make the building appear top-heavy. Summary The project meets few applicable standards. PROPERTY EVALUATION The existing building was approved for relocation in 2021. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Comment on and release the plans.
