Attached is a receipt for the HLC referral fees. Please confirm that we are set for the Nov. 6 HLC hearing. Additionally, I am attaching the notice of code violation we recently received for the property. The structure was vacant earlier this year and was being used by people experiencing homelessness. A fire was set inside the building in February, which led to a 2-alarm fire. After containing the fire, AFD was not able to investigate the cause because they could not enter the building due to the structural instability. The building has been boarded up to prevent human entry, but as you’ll see, DSD code inspectors recently investigated the property and found several life and safety violations, including plumbing, mechanical, and electrical hazards. The fire damage and resulting safety concerns are what led to the demolition permit application. I hope this additional context is helpful.

The property embodies the distinguishing characteristics of a recognized architectural style, type, or method of construction; exemplifies technological innovation in design or construction; displays high artistic value in representing ethnic or folk art, architecture, or construction; represents a rare example of an architectural style in the city; serves as an outstanding example of the work of an architect, builder, or artisan who significantly contributed to the development of the city, state, or nation; possesses cultural, historical, or architectural value as a particularly fine or unique example of a utilitarian or vernacular structure; or represents an architectural curiosity or one-of-a-kind building. The Town Lake Gazebo, as a unique example of Modernist architecture, is an icon of Austin’s Colorado River waterfront. Since its design and construction in 1969, it has been one of the most recognizable Town Lake touchpoints, as one of Austin’s only hyperbolic paraboloid structures, and has changed very little since its construction. Commissioned by the Austin Chapter of the National Association of Women in Construction in 1965, the gazebo project was supported by Over a dozen construction firms with donations of materials and labor. In her 2024 summary of the site, historian Lori Martin describes the building’s architectural significance in detail: Construction commenced in 1969, and the gazebo was dedicated in June 1970. Project architect J. Sterry Nill (and husband of NAWIC Austin Chapter president Lori Nill) designed the gazebo in keeping with the …
Sam Fahnestock Historic Preservation Office City of Austin May 23, 2024 Subject: Request to consider initiation of historic zoning, Fannie Davis Town Lake Gazebo/Women in Construction Gazebo (9037 Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail) Dear Mr. Fahnestock, We would like to include the Fannie Davis Town Lake Gazebo/Women in Construction Gazebo, located at 9037 Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail, on the Historic Landmark Commission’s June agenda for consideration of initiation of historic zoning. The owner, the City of Austin’s Parks and Recreation Department (PARD), has been notified of this request. The gazebo was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2019. Originally known as the Town Lake Gazebo, the Fannie Davis Town Lake Gazebo was the first public structure built in the effort to beautify the south shore of Town Lake (now Lady Bird Lake). The Austin Chapter of the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC), established in the 1950s for women working in the construction industry, spearheaded and raised funds for the project’s completion. The structure was built from 1969-1970 and features a striking hyperbolic paraboloid roof with folded plate ridges and valleys. Architect J. Sterry Nill designed a community structure that reflected the architectural trends of the 1960s and brought an iconic piece of architecture to the shores of Lady Bird Lake. The gazebo was later named after Fannie Davis, a charter member of the Austin chapter of NAWIC. The gazebo’s Mid-Century Modern design and contributions to the beautification of Town Lake meet the City’s Architecture and Community Value criteria for local landmark designation. It is also eligible for its Historical Associations with the development of the hike and bike trail, and women in construction. Thank you for your consideration and feel free to reach out regarding any questions or concerns.

July 2, 2024 RE: Fannie Davis Town Lake Gazebo Dear Chair Heimsath, Vice Chair Featherston, and Members of the Historic Landmark Commission, Preservation Austin exists to empower Austinites to shape a more inclusive, resilient, and meaningful community culture through preservation. We write today in support of designating the Fannie Davis Town Lake Gazebo as a City of Austin Historic Landmark for its historic associations with women in construction, its Mid-Century Modern architectural style, and its community value as a significant site in the beautification of Lady Bird Lake. Built in 1969-70, the Austin Chapter of the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) spearheaded the efforts to raise funds for what was originally known as the Town Lake Gazebo. The organization commissioned architect J. Sterry Nill to design the gazebo in a striking Mid-Century Modern style, featuring a dramatic geometric roofline with folded plate ridges and valleys. The gazebo was one of the first structures built to beautify the south shore of Town Lake (now Lady Bird Lake), and its design reflects the spirit of its age and its role as a community space. The gazebo was later named in honor of Fannie Davis, a charter member of the Austin Chapter of NAWIC. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2019. In alignment with our Underrepresented Heritage Advocacy Priority, we commend the Historic Landmark Commission for taking the initiative to honor this significant site of women’s heritage. We wholeheartedly support the designation of the Fannie Davis Town Lake Gazebo as a City of Austin Landmark. Thank you for your consideration and your service to our city. Sincerely, Melissa Barry, President
Austin Parks and Recreation Department 200 South Lamar Boulevard, Austin, Texas 78704 July 3, 2024 Historic Landmark Commission City of Austin Subject: Fannie Davis Gazebo Dear Members of the Historic Landmark Commission: Please accept this letter of support from the Austin Parks and Recreation Department for the designation of the Fannie Davis Gazebo as a City of Austin Historic Landmark. The 1969 Town Lake Gazebo was the first public structure built in the effort to beautify the south shore of Town Lake (now Lady Bird Lake), which was created after the construction of Longhorn Dam on the Colorado River in 1960. The Austin Chapter of the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC), established in the 1950s for women working in the construction industry, spearheaded and raised funds for the project. Inspired by Lady Bird Johnson, a national leader in environmental beautification and later the honorary co-chair of the Town Lake Beautification Committee, the Austin chapter began planning and raising money for the structure in 1965. Nearly 100 contractors and suppliers enthusiastically supported the gazebo project with donations of materials and labor. The gazebo was dedicated in June 1970, and then in 1984, the structure was named for Fannie Davis, a founding member of the Austin chapter of NAWIC. The gazebo was designed by architect, J. Sterry Nill, to resemble an inverted morning glory flower and its design reflects diverse architectural trends of the 1960s. The Fannie Davis Gazebo was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2020. Noted for its historical and architectural significance, the Fannie Davis Gazebo joined other properties under the stewardship of the Austin Parks and Recreation Department system with historic designation. The Parks and Recreation Department Historic Preservation & Tourism Program appreciates the support of the Historic Landmark Commission and looks forward to collaborating on the historic designation process.

The property has long-standing significant associations with persons, groups, institutions, businesses, or events of historical importance that contributed significantly to the history of the city, state, or nation or represents a significant portrayal of the cultural practices or the way of life of a definable group of people in a historic time. This property has connection to Dr. Francis Luther Whitney, who moved along with his wife Grace Whitney to Austin 1908 after declining a faculty position at the University of Michigan. Instead, Dr. Whitney took a professorship at the University of Texas’s newly formed paleontology department within the Department of Geological Sciences. He served in this role for the next 40 years, until his retirement. During the 1920s, he would serve as chair of the department, in addition to teaching, including a course of micropaleontology that was likely one of the first in the academic world. The opportunities for geological and paleontological research and development were immense in Texas during this time, and Dr. Whitney’s work spanned from acquiring collections of mollusk fossils still in the university’s possession to developing mathematical models to identify structures that would be used directly by the oil and gas industry to identify deposits.

Historical Narrative 1304 Guadalupe Austin, Texas Summary The Augusta Adams Ziller School was built as a simple Pre-railroad Folk style dwelling located at the comer of Guadalupe and, formerly Walnut-Street in downtown Austin. At the time 1304 Guadalupe was built, the area that is now the University of Texas was a native American camping site. The building is a contributing building to the newly designated West Downtown Historic District. The building uses forms and architectural patterns reflecting longstanding vernacular and folk traditions. Before the arrival of the railroad in Austin in 1871, building methods and forms typically were passed down through hands-on teaching and apprenticeships, often reflecting regional customs or traditions brought to the US by immigrants. Buildings classified as folk-influenced typically do not include ornamentation or detailing influenced by another style. The small frame building at 1304 Guadalupe was constructed in about 1877. Its original use was as a private school run by Theresa Adam, daughter of a pioneering female immigrant to Texas. 1304 Guadalupe and its next-door neighbor, 1306 Guadalupe, have been intertwined for over 140 years; 1306 Guadalupe was designated as historical in September 2023. Each has its beginning whenAugusta Kohn Adams immigrated to the United States, and ultimately to Austin, in 1857 with two young daughters. She had lost her father and husband and hoped to make a new life for her children in America. Basis for historical designation 25-2-352(3)(c)(i) Architecture- The property embodies the distinguishing characteristics of a recognized architectural style, type, or method of construction; exemplifies technological innovation in design or construction, displays high artistic value in representing ethnic or folk art, architecture, or construction represents a rare example of an architectural style in the city; serves as an outstanding example of the work of an architect, builder, or artisan who significantly contributed to the development of the city, state or nation; possesses cultural, historical or architectural value as a particularly fine or unique example of a utilitarian or vernacular structure; or represents an architectural curiosity or one of-a-kind building. 1304 Guadalupe Street is a rare and remarkably intact 155-year old vernacular structure. It exemplifies the simple beginnings of Austin's pioneer past. It is an 1 excellent example of the simplicity of early architectural endeavors built with local materials, prior to the arrival of the railroad in Austin in 1871. 25-2-352(3)( c)ii) Historical Associations.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS NOVEMBER 6, 2024 HR-2024-121988 GRAVES HOUSE 2 GREEN LANES 9.0 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS wraparound porch. ARCHITECTURE Construct a rear addition, restore fixtures to historic appearance, remove and rebuild a second-floor addition based on historic drawings. 1) Demolish southwest corner of ground floor and rebuild with expanded footprint, creating a kitchen, family room, and 2) Demolish non-historic second floor addition above current garage. 3) Recreate elements of the 1937 design and construct a second-floor space at the front that adheres to historic drawings. 4) Restore all wood windows. 5) Replace garage doors with assemblies more aligned with original drawings. The Graves House is a 1938 Colonial Revival House designed by local architect H.F. Kuehne in the Old West Austin Historic District. Original drawings show a main symmetrical house with a center door along with a garage wing with a two-car garage and second floor featuring dormer windows above it. Later alterations saw a second floor constructed above the garage that eliminated the dormers and created a front facing gable, which is the current appearance. The main house has remained largely the same, with the center door bracketed by columns and shuttered windows. The second-floor features three windows matching those below. Exterior cladding is brick, and the main house has a side gabled roof clad in composition shingle. At the rear, a sunroom is present and in the original drawings, though the sunroom’s windows appear different and may have been replaced. The Graves House was designated historic by the City of Austin in 2004. 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 at historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 1. General standards Alterations are proposed to the second floor of the garage wing’s front elevation, which are based off original design drawings from the architect. Aside from this major alteration, work proposed in this section is largely repair or replacement of non-original material with a more appropriate appearance. 3. Roofs Current roof is composition shingle, and the application proposes replacement in-kind due to deterioration.
