The buildings at 1206 East 13th Street and 1209 Bob Harrison Street are associated with African American businesswoman and cosmetologist Ethel McDonald Jackson, who ran a successful home-based business from 1944 to 1974 and whose family served their community as civic leaders throughout the twentieth century. According to Ms. Belinda Davis, daughter of Elmer and Ethel McDonald Jackson, her mother’s ambitious spirit was sparked as soon as she finished high school in Bastrop, Texas. “My Mama often spoke of why she did not attend a four-year college after high school,” writes Davis. “As a child of The Great Depression, she wanted to enter the workforce as soon as possible to assist her family.” Ethel McDonald finished beauty college and immediately became both an instructor at the school and a working hairdresser at the Triple Mirror Beauty Shop at 605 San Jacinto.

6 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS MARCH 6, 2024 HR-2024-007660 HYDE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 4204 AVENUE H PROPOSAL Construct a second-floor addition. Replace the foundation and roof. Restore front windows. Construct a new garage. Construct a pool. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Construct a second-floor addition, clad in reused teardrop siding and new matching siding. 2) Replace the foundation with concrete footers. 3) Restore the front windows, replacing deteriorated wood elements in-kind. 4) Replace the metal roof with a new metal roof. 5) Construct a new rear garage. 6) Construct a new pool. 7) Add a screened patio to the rear and a covered porch to the front-side of the building. ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STANDARDS One-story Craftsman bungalow with covered entry, horizontal wood siding, 1:1 wood windows, and traditional Craftsman detailing. The Hyde Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1. General Standards 1.1: Prevention of Demolition Demolition of any contributing structure is strongly discouraged under all circumstances. The proposed project demolishes the rear of the building to construct a new addition. 1.2: Retention of Historic Style Respect the historic style of existing structures and retain their historic features, including character-defining elements and building scale. The proposed project retains some historic features at the front of the building but changes its scale. 1.3: Avoidance of False Historicism Respect each contributing structure as an example of the architecture of its time. Do not make alterations that have no historic basis, such as the addition of gingerbread trim to a 1920s bungalow. Do not give an existing contributing structure a “historic” appearance it never had. The proposed addition and garage include details that make differentiation of new from historic materials challenging, such as exposed rafter tails and triangular eave brackets. It extends the roofline and chimney and replaces the existing bracket in the new location. 1.4: Appropriate Treatment Options for Contributing or Potentially Contributing Structures 1. Preserve the historic fabric: Repair deteriorated historic features and architectural elements. 2. Reconstruct missing or un-repairable architectural features with the following: a) Recycled historic materials that approximate the size and match the scale, profile, and appearance of the deteriorated or missing feature, if available. b) New material that approximates the size and matches the scale, profile, and appearance of the historic material. Reconstruct or rebuild missing architectural features using photographic …
7 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS APRIL 3, 2024 HR-2024-020047 HYDE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 4004 AVENUE H PROPOSAL Add a screened porch. Construct a two-story accessory building. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Add a screened porch to the north side of the house. The proposed porch is one-story and capped with a shingled, side- gabled roof to match the existing roof. 2) Construct a new two-story studio in the backyard. The proposed accessory building is located at the rear side of the house, behind the driveway. It is clad in fiber cement horizontal siding and features a hipped roof and fixed undivided windows. ARCHITECTURE One-story Craftsman bungalow. DESIGN STANDARDS The Hyde Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1. General Standards 1.2: Retention of Historic Style Respect the historic style of existing structures and retain their historic features, including character-defining elements and building scale. The proposed project retains the historic style of the contributing building. 1.3: Avoidance of False Historicism The proposed project mostly avoids false historicism through the placement of the porch, though excluding exposed rafter tails would increase the differentiation between new and old materials. 4. Residential Standards: Additions to Contributing Single Family and Multi-Family Structures 4.1: Preservation of Historic Character Construct additions so as to require the removal or modification of a minimum of historic fabric. Do not construct additions which will require the removal of any portion of the front façade. Design additions to existing residential buildings to reflect the form and style of the existing house. The proposed addition removes minimal historic fabric and reflects the form and style of the existing house. 4.2: Location Locate new additions and alterations to the rear or rear side of the building so that they will be less visible from the street. The proposed porch is located at the side of the house. 4.3: Roof, Fenestration, and Siding 1. Make the pitch and height of the roof of the addition compatible to that of the existing house. 2. Make windows visible from the street on any addition compatible with those on the existing house in terms of sash configuration, proportion, spacing and placement. 3. Use exterior siding materials on the addition which match or are compatible with that of the existing house. The proposed project’s roof, fenestration, and materials are compatible. …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS APRIL 3, 2024 HR-2024-029019; C14H-2003-0015 SHELBY HOUSE 1114 WEST 9TH STREET 8 – 1 PROPOSAL Replace roof and gutters. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS ARCHITECTURE 1) Replace the existing composite shingle roof with standing-seam metal roofing in charcoal grey. 2) Replace the gutters. According to the landmark designation application, the building is a “Two-story irregular-plan pyramidal hipped-roof frame house with minimal Prairie Style influences. The house contains a two-story partial-width inset porch; the second story of the porch has been enclosed with windows. Fenestration on the main part of the house is 1:1 wood frame windows. The doorway features a 3-light transom and single-light sidelights. […] Although not a true Prairie-style house, the Shelby House contains the horizontal lines popularized by [Frank Lloyd] Wright. […] Built around 1910, the house was originally a one-story frame structure containing 5 rooms and appeared to be a typical middle-class house when it was first constructed. L.E. Shelby, a prominent local dry goods merchant, purchased the house in 1911, and made significant changes to it, including the construction of a second story, blasting through the limestone shelf below to create a basement, and adding a porte-cochere.”1 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 The proposed roof replacement does not remove historic material or change the historic roofline. 3. Roofs 3.5 Owners of landmark properties must replace roofs with material that approximates the appearance of the historic or existing roof material. d. Standing seam metal roofs, despite their historic look, are generally not acceptable for historic landmarks unless the owner can document that the building historically had a standing seam roof. Metal roof systems that replicate the historic roof material and have a historic appearance are acceptable. The proposed project replaces a shingle roof with a standing-seam metal roof. The original building likely would have been roofed with wood shakes or other shingle-form roofing, as metal roofing was generally restricted to carriage houses, stables, or other outbuildings in this area during the house’s period of significance. Summary The project mostly does not meet the applicable standards. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Postpone the public hearing to May 1, 2024, and invite the applicant to …
