HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A DEMOLITION PERMIT IN A NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-21-113815 WILLOW-SPENCE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 82 SAN MARCOS STREET C.5 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1941 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story, rectangular-plan, side-gabled, frame cottage with a central entry topped with a front-gabled entry hood; paired 1:1 fenestration, some with decorative 3:1 wood screens. There is a building permit in city records evidencing construction of this house in 1941; the Sanborn map of 1935 shows a different house on this site, and the 1962 Sanborn map shows the current house. This house, however, appears to reflect 1930s construction in its masing and style, leading to some confusion with a water utility permit dating from 1932. The confusion would not affect the determination of historical significance for this house, as it was home to only two families during much of the historic period, one of whom lived in the earlier house on this site. The 1941 building permit reflects construction by Louis Bonugli, who operated a neighborhood grocery store just a block from this site, and who invested in neighborhood real estate. This house was built as a rental unit. The first residents of the house were Willie L. and Allie Smith, who lived here until around 1943, and had lived in the earlier house on this site since the early 1930s. Willie Smith was an auto mechanic. Raymond and Angie Miller moved into the house around 1943 and rented the house until around 1950. Raymond Miller was taxi driver who later opened his own filling station while living in this house. Angie Miller worked at Woolworth’s a downtown discount department store. PROPERTY EVALUATION The house is listed as non-contributing to the Willow Spence National Register Historic District, but staff questions that determination, as the house is an intact example of vernacular residential design that would be contributing to the historic district if evaluated today. The Willow-Spence National Register Historic District was nominated in 1985, when this house would not have qualified under the 50-year threshold; the district nomination does not shed any light on the justification for the determination. 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 while the house would …

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Sunday, August 22, 2021 6:01 PM PAZ Preservation 82 San Marcos St case # PR-21-113815 This message is from Sylvia Marroquin. I received a notice of the hearing on the demolition of the property located at 82 San Marcos on Thursday. I see that the letter was dated for mailing on Aug 12. I do not believe that a local letter should take over a week to be delivered. In any case, the mailing date and the delivery dates are 2 very different things. I do not believe that enough notice has been given to all my neighbors to have the hearing as scheduled . I object to having the hearing until all interested parties are properly notified. Additionally, I would like to add that I went by the house and found the sign lying on the ground behind tall weeds. not visible to the street! The house in question in inside of the Willow Spence National Historic district. The entire district is comprised of 4 blocks total. Thus far we have had no one try to destroy any of our historic homes. The house in question is by far in better condition than my house at 908 willow street was when I purchased it. I restored my home! The house will need some updating as all these 1920‐ 1930's homes do, but it is not a tear down. There are plenty of homes all over the east side that developers can buy and tear down without hardly any problem. This house is in a National Historic District. If the buyers of this property did not like the house and had no intention of restoring, then they should not have bought it. It was their choice! Do not set a precedent that it is okay to tear down the homes in the Willow Spence National Historic District!! We must work to preserve the homes . It is only 4 blocks! Please do not allow historic homes to be torn down and contemporary style homes be built in these 4 little blocks!! 1

We've seen their plans to renovate their home and we like the fact that the updates to the siding, roof and windows will retain the cottage feel of the house. They are expanding in the basement so the house will still look and feel like a one‐story house from the street. We appreciate the fact that they are not going to tear the house down to build something modern and new. We support this project and believe it will be a great update to our block!

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Wil Richards Tuesday, September 21, 2021 7:24 PM Allen, Amber 1505 Travis Heights Blvd *** External Email ‐ Exercise Caution *** Amber, I've been living in Travis Heights for the past 3 years in the condo complex where Paige and Andy Hart are owners. They recently purchased a home in Travis Heights, at 1505 Travis Heights Blvd. It's a smaller home that needs to be updated. They've shown me their plans for the renovations and I like the fact that they are keeping the house much the same as it's been for many years. It will have new siding, and the roof will be more pitched, but they're retaining the small "cottage" feel to the property. The largest portion of the additional square footage of usable space will be in the basement, which can't be seen from the street. So, the house will still fit within the scale of the neighborhood. It will still be seen as a single‐story house from the street. I support this project and look forward to seeing Paige and Andy once their renovation is complete. Sincerely, Wil Richards CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source. Please use caution when clicking links or opening attachments.

The addition will have a composition shingle roof, fiber-cement siding, and windows similar to those used on the house. 2) Replacement of front door. Replacement of original wood 1:1 windows and decorative screens with 6:1 windows of an unspecified material. Replacement of paired windows on the south elevation with a double door. 3) Replacement of original wood siding and trim with fiber-cement siding. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story Craftsman bungalow clad in horizontal wood siding. The front-gabled roof has a clipped gable with decorative brackets, and the partial-width porch has a round vent below the clipped gable. The porch roof is supported by tapered box columns atop partial height brick piers. Windows are single or groupings of two to three 1:1 sash with decorative screens. The front door has three vertical lights in the upper portion. The house at 1412 Alameda Dr. was constructed around 1932 and initially occupied by a series of renters. From at least 1947–1966, Homer G. and Lillian K. Monson owned the home. Homer Monson (1920–1996) sold used furniture; newspaper articles indicate he also managed and owned several ranches. He ran an unsuccessful write-in campaign for Travis County Commissioner in 1966. Homer married Lillian Kastner in 1946. Lillian held a lengthy tenure at Austin National Bank, marking 15–20 years of employment in 1960. During that time, she advanced from a clerk to a supervisor. The couple built an addition on the rear of the house in 1952. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW 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 4. Exterior walls and trim 5. Windows, doors, and screens Standards in each of these sections emphasize retaining intact historic materials and pursuing selective replacement only when absolutely necessary due to deterioration. Standard 5.3.c provides for greater flexibility in window replacement on side and rear elevations not visible from the street. However, the proposed wholesale replacement of the historic front door, windows, siding, …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-2021-121876 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 2400 PEMBERTON PLACE C.8 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a contributing building. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story, hipped-roof Ranch house with enclosed garage, painted brick veneer, multilight metal windows, and metal roof. The house at 2400 Pemberton Place was built for Dr. Ralph Hanna and his family in 1949. Hanna, a pediatrician, was one of the nation’s leading cerebral palsy clinicians; he was widely lauded for his research, leadership, and compassion as a medical practitioner and patient advocate. Dr. Hanna served on the board of the Austin Cerebral Palsy Center as well as president of the United Cerebral Palsy Association of Texas, regional vice-president of the UCPA, chairman of the UCPA’s Medical Professional Advisory Board, and chairman of the Austin Cerebral Palsy Center’s medical advisory board. Dr. Hanna also served on the first board of directors of the Jewish Community Council of Austin, a philanthropic and service organization. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register Historic District. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain low 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 does not appear to convey architectural significance. b. Historical association. The property is associated with Dr. Ralph Hanna, pediatrician and civic leader. 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 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 is not a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, aesthetic, cultural, or historical value to the city. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Release the demolition permit. Although Dr. Ralph Hanna’s contributions as a physician and educator are significant to Austin’s history, the house no longer retains integrity. All new construction plans for National Register Historic District properties must be reviewed by the Historic Landmark Commission prior to permit issuance.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER DISTRICTS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 HR-2021-135437 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER DISTRICT 2308 WOODLAWN BLVD. C.9 – 1 PROPOSAL Reconstruct 1940 contributing house following fire damage. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The house was significantly damaged by a fire on March 12, 2021 that occurred during a renovation project. The fire destroyed much of the central, two-story volume of the house. On May 24, 2021, the Historic Landmark Commission voted unanimously to approve a demolition application to allow the owners to address life safety concerns; see prior staff report. The current project entails rebuilding the house: 1) Reconstruction of the two-story central volume of the house, including masonry repair and/or reconstruction, repair of monumental columns, and reconstruction of the entablature at the porch. Replacement of red paver flooring with limestone tile, and reinstallation of stained rather than painted wood at the porch ceiling. Replacement of balcony guardrail with a different design. 2) Installation of new multi-light French doors in window openings at the central portion of the façade. Replacement of the fire-damaged front door in a different configuration, changing from a door with fanlight and sidelights to paired solid doors with a fanlight and cut stone surround. 3) Reconfiguration and modifications to rear wings, which primarily consist of previous additions to the house. The south wing of the house will be enlarged. The central octagonal volume will be removed and a pool constructed in its place. A covered outdoor dining area will be added along the inside of the north wing. A small breakfast nook will be added on the north side of the house. Brick, roofing, eave and cornice details will match the existing house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH This brick Neoclassical mansion consists of a central, two-story portion flanked by symmetrical one-story wings. The central portion has a full-façade porch with Doric columns supporting an entablature and a full-width balcony with decorative railing. The wings each have a slightly recessed hyphen terminating in a front-gabled volume, with quoins at the corners and cornice returns and cupolas at the roofs. The central front door has an elliptical transom and sidelights, and multi-light windows on the front of the house have operable shutters. The house has a rear addition to the northern wing, including a garage, and an octagonal addition at the center rear. The house was built in 1940 for Frank W. and Olivia M. Woolsey. Frank Woolsey, …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-2021-134031 4512 AVENUE C D.11 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a 1946 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story Minimal Traditional house clad in asbestos shingles. The house is side-gabled, with a partial-width, shed-roofed porch next to a small front-gabled wing. Windows are 8:8 and 6:6 double-hung wood sash. The house at 4512 Avenue C was briefly owned by a grocer, Robert Fannin, and then by a proprietor of two beauty shops, Seaborn Speir. During the historic period, the longest tenure was that of Conrad N. and Ercylee L. Voigt, who were first listed as renters in 1949 and subsequently as owners of the home. Conrad Voigt was an insurance agent. By 1964, the Voigts lived on Northridge Drive. PROPERTY EVALUATION The Historic Building Survey Report for North Central Austin: West Campus, North University, Heritage, Bryker Woods, and North Hyde Park (HHM, Inc., 2021) lists the property as contributing to a potential North Hyde Park Historic District, recommended as eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places and as a local historic district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building retains a high degree of integrity. The survey notes a historic-age addition as the only modification. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (Land Development Code §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The house is a typical example of the Minimal Traditional style with limited modifications. b. Historical association. The house does not appear to have any 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 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 is not a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, aesthetic, cultural, or historical value to the city.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-21-105009 2501 INWOOD PLACE D.2 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1948 house. ARCHITECTURE One-story, irregular plan, flat-roofed house with elements of International Style and mid-century Modern design, plus eclectic modifications including turned wood columns, geometric wood medallions, and vintage wrought iron lighting fixtures. The house was constructed in 1948, with a 1952 addition. It has expansive roof overhangs with wood soffits, a combination of horizontal and vertical wood siding, and stone veneer. Stands of oaks, along with stone planters, walls, and steps extending from the house, lend a strong connection between the house and landscape. Stonework on the chimney and walls is narrow random ashlar, while planters and site walls are uncoursed rubble stonework, suggesting different construction periods. Windows are groupings of steel casements that meet at building corners, with one floor-to-ceiling commercial storefront window. RESEARCH Hugh McMath The house was owned and occupied by Hugh and Frances McMath from the time of its construction until their deaths, and it remained in the McMath family until this year. Hugh McMath (1904–1992) taught at the University of Texas School of Architecture for 44 years. He was a renowned professor with a specialization in Mexican architecture. He was instrumental in introducing his students to the principles of Mexican architecture and worked to introduce Mexican architectural programs into the greater sphere of American architectural studies. During the 1950s, he arranged annual summer trips of U.S. students to the Instituto Tecnologico of Monterrey, Mexico, and later organized architectural tours to promote interest in Mexican heritage and architecture. McMath served as chair of the School of Architecture from 1946–1948, director from 1948–1950, and acting director from 1953–1956. During this time, McMath encouraged John S. Chase to apply to the architecture program, telling him about the pending Sweatt v. Painter case that desegregated the university. Chase went on to many firsts as an African American: the first to enroll at the University of Texas, the first to graduate with an architecture degree, and the first in Texas to become a licensed architect. Beyond academia, McMath served in other leadership roles in architecture. He was co-chair of a committee to draw up a long-range plan for Pioneer Farms when it was formed in 1956. McMath also served as president of the Central Texas branch of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) in 1958. He served on …

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Attachments: Importance: High Vincent Huebinger Wednesday, August 18, 2021 3:17 PM Sadowsky, Steve; Allen, Amber Dane Wilkins RE: Item D-6 2501 Inwood Demo Hugh McMath 1.JPG Steve, just left you and Amber a VM. It is indeed a very interesting house but we are not finding the Mid‐century modern aspects on 2501 Inwood based on the industry (architectural) standards. Yes there are some pronounced windows but no lines and angles established in this front elevation or roof. Most mid‐century modern houses built in 1950‐60’s had had lines with open spaces and pronounced split level roofs. The exterior wood is an odd combination and is not repairable. We are preparing some backup material for Landmark commissioners to try to emphasize the lack of element for this agenda. I have another hearing on Monday evening in Grand Prairie, therefore Dane Wilkins out of our office will be on the live line of the meeting. I am assuming that the postponement policy by staff will be granted (since it always is) and this is the last item on the agenda. Knowing the process, I believe you will be requesting postponements at the beginning of the hearing? We did find 2502 Inwood went to your landmark commission in 2018 and was allowed to be demo’d and rebuilt as a combination of mid‐century and eclectic. Others on that block were also demo’d. Regarding Hugh McMath, he was a very impressive tenured professor and acting director for a few years. The most we have found on him are his international trips to Monterrey, his thesis at MIT and some other articles. We can agree to postpone in light of your mention of Ned Cole and Plan con, which we did not discover in our research. The only thing we know about Ned Cole is that he may have been a student of Professor McMath. We also need to finish the structural walk Monday morning for the interior. From the exterior, Mike McIntyre has already found very disturbing damage & conditions, to be documented by the next hearing. We can include his preliminary exterior findings sometime tomorrow morning in the backup. According to his daughter, Hugh did not design the house. Let us know the best way we should proceed and your thoughts on if Laura Burkhart would benefit on having some architectural renderings available next month? She may be …

Vincent Gerard & associates, inc. McMath House Property Evaluation 1) Age: Building permits put the construction of the house and the addition in the year 1948 and 1952 respectively, making this a 74-year-old home. 2) The buildings structural integrity has degraded quickly since McMath’s death in 1992. There are Trees that lean on the structure, patio support beams that have rotted and water damage on the garage I beam as seen in photos. (See structural engineer John McIntyre report exhibit B) 3) In our opinion this property meets one of the four proposed criteria for it to be determined for landmark designation. a. The architecture is a mix of three or more architectures and does not conform to the styles of International or Mid-century Modern as shown below. b. McMath and his wife Frances Marian, were a beloved member of the local University community hosting student study abroad trips to Monterey where the majority of Hugh’s study and design took place. Hugh makes note that the majority of his work was on documenting the influence of American Architecture on Mexico, not the other way around. Hugh was the interim director of the school of architecture during its transition from the school of engineering but was not the author of the movement merely the acting director and then the official director for 1 and for 5 years respectively. During McMath’s LAND PLANNING, DEVELOPMENT & ZONING CONSULTANTS 1715 SOUTH CAPITAL OF TEXAS HIGHWAY • SUITE 207 • AUSTIN, TEXAS 78746 VINCENTGERARD.COM • (512) 328-2693 tenure there were no news articles we discovered exhibiting his architectural prowess like what are seen by other Deans of the school of architecture, Deans who became Titians of the local Austin community. An example of a peer would be the following; c. There are no known prehistoric features on this .4-acre site located at the city’s core. d. The building does not 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. This building is barely visible to those off site. e. The landscape is very natural and has a great deal of erosion due to poor drainage of the property. Features of Mid-century Modern Architecture* • Glass and Large Windows • Straight and Flat Lines • Open and Split-Level Spaces • Minimal Ornamentation and Furniture with Many Built-Ins …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-2021-123039 4711 DELORES AVENUE D.3 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Convert church building to residence, replacing fenestration and cladding and constructing a two-story addition and third- floor roof deck. 1) Partially demolish church building. Remove cladding, windows, and doors from masonry addition and original frame church structure. Demolish entryway, deck, and steps. 2) Replace fenestration at existing portion of church with single-pane fixed windows, fully glazed single and double doors, and metal bay doors. 3) Construct a two-story rear and side addition. The proposed addition is clad in vertical corrugated metal siding, with a flat roof and irregularly spaced single-pane fixed and casement windows. The stairwell to the roof deck extends outward at the east elevation. 4) Add third-story rooftop deck with corrugated metal handrail to match proposed siding. The existing building is a single-story gabled church building with cross-gabled rear addition. The main portion of the church is clad in brick and horizontal siding, with exposed rafter tails at eaves and triangular knee braces at gable end, a gabled portico supported by Classical columns, and aluminum windows. A pyramidal steeple sits atop the roof’s ridgeline. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH The church was moved from Elroy, Texas to this site in 1959 for the congregation of New Home A. M. E. In 1966, the original frame structure was relocated on the lot; permit records suggest that this original portion now faces Mansell Street. It was used as an education building when the new masonry sanctuary was built facing Delores Street between 1968 and 1970. The triangular brackets at the sanctuary’s gable may have been removed from the original structure and reused at the building’s new entrance. 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 potential historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Institutional buildings 1. General standards 1.1 Ensure that the building’s historic character is preserved through careful repair and maintenance of historic materials. The proposed project removes and replaces original fenestration, cladding, decorative details, and porch. The proposed corrugated metal cladding and fenestration changes at the main façade are not compatible with historic institutional or residential buildings. The proposed two-story addition, stairwell, and roof deck are significantly set back, but may not appear subordinate from the main …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-2021-113751 3411 CLEARVIEW DRIVE D.4 – 1 Demolish a ca. 1951 house and rear accessory building. PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story Modern house with two-story rear addition and one-story rear studio. The primary building is clad in stucco and features a flat roof, integrated stone planters, an attached carport, and aluminum ribbon windows. The ca. 1958 studio is similarly styled. The house was built in 1951 for Alexander Strachan and Jerry Duncan. A. S. Duncan was a World War II veteran who worked as a real estate agent and sales manager with Harrison-Wilson-Pearson and Nelson Puett before opening his own agency in the mid-1960s, where he partnered with Puett. He served as chairman of the Austin Board of Realtors and was widely praised for his abilities as a salesman. Jerry Duncan was an active participant in the University Women and Helping Hand organizations. PROPERTY EVALUATION Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate integrity. A second-story rear addition was constructed in 2002 which may limit the building’s designation potential. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not appear to meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building displays Modern stylistic influences. b. Historical association. There do not appear to be significant historical associations, though the Commission may wish to consider A. S. Duncan’s contributions to Austin real estate at midcentury. 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 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 is not a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, aesthetic, cultural, or historical value to the city. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Encourage rehabilitation and adaptive reuse, but release the demolition permit upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-2021-117734 2103 E. 8TH STREET D.5 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE Demolish a house that may have been moved ca. 1939. This one-story Modified L-plan house appears on Sanborn maps between 1935 and 1961, with a sewer connection permit from 1939. Although the City has no record of a relocation permit, the house has Folk Victorian elements suggesting an earlier date of construction and may have been moved onto the lot. These elements include 2:2 wood windows, sawn brackets at the eaves, and a chamfered wood pilaster at the porch. The house has horizontal wood siding, covered with asbestos shingles under the porch. RESEARCH The house at 2103 E. 8th Street was occupied from 1944–1955 by the family of James L. and Grace Finnin, working-class African Americans. James Finnin (ca. 1889–1982) worked as a farm laborer before moving into Austin and subsequently was a laborer at the City of Austin Water & Light Department. Grace Underwood Finnin (1897–1993) raised the couple’s many children and was involved with the Mary Church Terrell District Association of Federated Women’s Clubs, serving as reporter for the organization in 1961. Some of their children continued to live in the house on E. 8th upon reaching adulthood; city directory listings include multiple of their names: Ella, Everett, Horace (Billie), Harvey, and Inez, who held working-class jobs including laborer, porter, cook, and maid. PROPERTY EVALUATION The East Austin Historic Resources Survey (Hardy Heck Moore, Inc., 2016) does not indicate the property is eligible for historic designation. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building retains a moderate degree of integrity. Some porch columns and parts of the porch roof have been replaced, and asbestos shingles cover part of the siding. The house appears to be in poor condition. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (Land Development Code §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building appears to be a Folk Victorian house that may have been moved to the site. b. Historical association. The house was associated with the Finnin family. Readily accessible archival material on African Americans in Austin is limited, and sufficient grounds are lacking to make a case for significant historical associations. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-2021-130003 909 W. ANNIE STREET D.9 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Partially demolish a 1939 house, construct a two-story addition, and replace windows and siding. 1) Construct a rear and second-story addition. The addition extends the height of the ridge of the side-gabled roofline and adds a shed-roofed dormer and balcony over the front porch. Roofing will be standing-seam metal. 2) Replace 1:1 wood windows with new windows. Windows are to be installed in existing openings on the front of the house, but windows on the sides will be reconfigured. Replace the existing front door with a new door and sidelights. Replace wood siding with new lap siding. Window, door, and siding materials are not specified. One-story, side-gabled bungalow clad in wood siding. The house has a central gabled porch with box columns and partial height square piers at the front steps. The porch is flanked on both sides by paired 1:1 windows with decorative screens. Side elevations have paired windows at the first floor and single 1:1 windows at the attic level. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH The house at 909 W. Annie St. was owned throughout the historic period by Cecil E. and Dorothy B. Kelso. Cecil Kelso (1907–1988) worked as a projectionist in Austin movie theaters for at least 45 years, beginning in 1927. He served on a Motion Picture Board, an advisory body to City Council, during the 1950s. In an interview in the Austin Statesman in 1972, Kelso remarked, “The modern films aren’t for me. My favorites are Walt Disney and family types” and classic films. Dorothy Kelso (1916–2010) was a teacher at Allison and Webb elementaries. Their son Gordon Kelso (1941–2018) was a corporal in the U.S. Marine Corps. While a student at the University of Texas and working for a local television station, he filmed broadcast footage of the UT tower shooting. 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 potential historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 3. Roofs The standards indicate that metal roofing is generally acceptable within historic districts but should only be installed on landmarks if there is historic precedent. The house currently has composition shingle roofing and likely had wood shingles originally. 4. Exterior …

Design and style The proposed design is differentiated from historic-age buildings by its massing, roofline, fenestration patterns and materials, and cladding materials. The proposed design, with its eclectic French and Mediterranean influences, is not compatible with the Colonial Revival and Ranch style buildings in this part of the district. 6.

Exterior walls Most nearby contributing buildings are brick or horizontal wood siding, though stucco examples do exist elsewhere in the district. The limestone accents, however, are less compatible. 8.
