20 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 2, 2022 HR-2022-152879 WILLOW-SPENCE 1020 SPENCE STREET PROPOSAL Partially demolish and construct an addition to the rear side of a ca. 1912 contributing building. Construct a garage apartment at rear of lot. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Construct a rear addition two-story addition to the existing one-story house. The addition is connected to the main house by a glass hyphen. It is clad in stack bond brick, stucco, and vertical wood siding. The roofline is mostly flat and clad in TPO, save for a small section of standing-seam metal shed roofing. Fenestration is mostly fixed, undivided, and vertically oriented. 2) Construct a two-story detached garage apartment with alley access at the rear of the lot. Proposed finishes and roofline appear to match the new addition. 3) Replace siding, windows, and roof and move the front door at the main house. Construct an accessible ramp and handrail to the front porch. The proposed window and door replacements modify original openings and window configurations. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story National Folk house with pyramidal hipped roof, board-and-batten siding, and inset partial-width porch supported by turned posts. Fenestration includes double entry doors and 1:1 wood windows. The 1985 Willow-Spence National Register Historic District nomination describes the house as “a one-story, board-and-batten cottage with a hipped roof and corner porch. Many architectural details are intact, including a Victorian comer-porch column. New elements include a cement foundation, steps, and porch floor.”1 The house at 1020 Spence was constructed around 1912 as a rental property. Its architectural details share many similarities with “Hofheinz houses,” distinctive National Folk houses rented out in East Austin to working-class families during the early years of the twentieth century by Edmund and Oscar Hofheinz. From the East Austin Context Statement (East Austin Historic Resource Survey), Vol. 1, p. I-40: The first two decades of the 1900s were rampant with development throughout the East Austin survey area …residential construction in these new developments reflected evolving trends in domestic designs, as the eclectic tastes of the Victorian era waned and simpler styles and detailing became more widespread. Among the poor and working classes, new house types began to replace more traditional forms. The linear, one‐room‐deep plans that featured gabled roofs…gave way to a new generation of houses with deeper, more box‐like plans and often had hipped or pyramidal roofs with inset porches. The effect …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 2, 2022 HR-2022-155521 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK 1907 KENWOOD AVENUE 21 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolition of an existing quadplex and new construction of a duplex. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Total demolition of a circa 1947 duplex that has been converted to a quadplex, a contributing structure to the Travis Heights National Register District. 2) New construction of an interior split-level, two-story duplex using brick, stucco, and clear sealed wood. ARCHITECTURE The structure is circa 1947 Contemporary Style brick and tile quadruplex with a flat roof. The structure is built into the hillside, initially with garage space down, like a walk-out basement plan. The Contemporary Style house typically could be built on steep hillsides where Ranches and even Split-levels would be challenging to place. The house appears to be a single story from the street, but downhill reveals a two-story structure. The fenestration seems to be original 4:5 metal frame casement windows, with a slightly recessed central entry on the front façade. The second street-level unit is accessed via a side entry door. The rear façade reveals a partial width upper and lower balcony with rear stairs for accessing the rear-facing living units. RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS The property first appears in the 1949 Citywide directory as rented by Marvis and Bess Bell, with Mr. Bell’s occupation listed as a “salesman.” It was followed by several other renters, such as Robert E. Rips and Nina Brewer, whose occupations were not listed. The interior was repaired and remodeled in 1960. 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 project seeks to demolish a historic building that provides four living units and replace it with compatible new construction which will only offer two living units. Repair and rehabilitation are always recommended over demolition. Furthermore, historic housing stock is more affordable than new construction, and the project proposes demolishing four existing housing units. The replacement will be two new construction units, which will likely be less affordable than those it replaces. Residential new construction 1. Location The new construction project is sited appropriately from the street and in keeping with the rhythm of other contributing structures. 2. Orientation The project …

22 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION /PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 2, 2022 HR-2022-155536 TRAVIS HEIGHTS - FAIRVIEW PARK 1407 ALTA VISTA AVENUE PROPOSAL Remodel a ca. 1932 duplex to convert it to single-family use. Demolish a detached garage and construct a new garage apartment in its place. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Convert duplex to single-family use. Change roofline, remove double entryways and gables, replace siding, replace windows, replace doors, replace porch. Materials include painted aluminum roofing, fiber cement siding, metal windows with wood casing and trim, and painted metal railing. 2) Demo existing garage and build new detached garage apartment. The proposed garage apartment is one and one-half stories in height, with a shed roof and fixed undivided windows. A full-height vertical screen structure accents horizontal fiber cement siding, and a round window appears at the west elevation above a concrete and wood retaining wall. A metal fence to match the main house’s porch guardrail surrounds the garage. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS Two-story Tudor Revival duplex with symmetrical plan, wood siding, and decorative steeply pitched entry gables with ornamental bargeboards, friezes, and brackets. The duplex at 1407 Alta Vista was constructed around 1932 as a rental property for Mrs. John L. Smith. Residents were mostly short-term, and included military servicemen, University of Texas students, clerks, state government employees, and hospital 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: Repair and alterations 1. General standards The proposed alterations remove the remaining character-defining features of the house. 3. Roofs The proposed alterations do not retain the historic roof configuration, pitch, eave detailing, decorative elements, or design. 4. Exterior walls and trim The proposed replacement siding appears appropriate. 5. Windows, doors, and screens The proposed window replacements further exacerbate the loss of material from the 2013 remodel. They do not match the size and details of the original windows in historic photographs and further alter openings. 6. Porches Though a historic photograph indicates that separate angled stairwells were original to the duplex, there is no precedent for a single angled stairwell leading to a centered entryway; the design does not appear to successfully convey its intended sympathy for the building’s historic form.

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Converting the covered porch and above balcony to conditioned space (front of house). -glass, screen wall, and concrete 2) Expand existing planters, modifying front porch steps. -glass, screen wall & concrete 3) Partially converting covered wood deck space to conditioned space (side of house) – (1st story living room and second story exercise room)- wood, glass, and brick 4) Demolishing the current recessed front entry & walls. ARCHITECTURE 2212 E. Windsor is a two-story masonry residential construction with a flat roof and symmetrical façade with central, recessed entry. The home was modified with replacement windows, doors, significant first and second-story additions, and a balcony circa 2004. RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS Initial research into historical associations includes Paul Bolton, an Austin news commentator and politician circa 1946 who lived at the property. 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 project seeks to demolish and construct a new front entryway as well as demolish a rear portion of a side wall. City- wide Design Guidelines encourage repair over replacement. However, the property appears to have been significantly altered and, therefore, would no longer qualify for historic landmarking due to a lack of historic integrity. 1.1 Do not remove intact historic material from the exterior of a building. 1.2 Always attempt repair first. Replacement should only be undertaken when absolutely necessary and for the smallest area possible. 1.3 When historic material must be replaced due to damage or deterioration, replacement materials should look the same, perform reliably within the existing construction, and, in most cases, be made of the same material. 1.5 When demolishing additions or features that were built after the building’s period of significance, minimize damage to the building. a. Stabilize and repair building walls that are exposed when non-historic additions or features are removed. b. Avoid demolition that removes historic structural systems or compromises the structural integrity of a historic building. 4. Exterior walls and trim Exterior walls should be repaired rather than replaced to minimize …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 2, 2022 HR-2022-156263 CONGRESS AVENUE 308 CONGRESS AVENUE 26. – 1 Construct a new tower addition to the W. B. Smith Building and adjacent historic age buildings. PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STANDARDS Commercial additions 1. Location Reconstruct the street-facing east façade and demolish the remainder of the building to accommodate the new tower. Construct a new mixed-use tower set back 15 feet. Two-part commercial block with dentil ornamentation, corbelled accents, and decorative pilasters on the first floor. Balanced storefront with central door flanked by transom windows on the first floor with 2:2 arched hooded windows above. A small ground-floor entrance door provides access to upper the upper floors located on the far right (as viewed from the street) of the composition of the street-facing façade. 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: 1.1 Locate additions at the rear and sides of historic buildings to minimize visual impact. 1.2 Set back additions from the front wall at a distance that preserves the perceived massing of the historic building, considering the pedestrian view from the opposite side of the primary street. a. Additions must be set back at least 20’ from the front wall of the historic building. 1.3 Minimize the loss of historic fabric by connecting additions to the existing building through the most noninvasive location and methods. 1.4 Additions are not appropriate for all historic landmarks and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The addition is located at the rear of the property and is setback initially 15 feet from the historic façade, which the proposed project deconstructs and reconstructs.
