10 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS SEPTEMBER 4, 2024 HR-2024-040291 BERNER-CLARK-MERCADO HOUSE 1807 EAST CESAR CHAVEZ STREET PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS DESIGN STANDARDS Stabilize porch structure by repairing deck, balcony rails, and porch posts. Paint over graffiti. The proposed porch repairs were completed without a permit. Balcony railings, porch supports, and decking have been replaced. Graffiti remediation and new paint are proposed. 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 Historic materials have been removed from the building; the extent of deterioration prior to removal is not clear. The replacement materials do not look the same as the removed historic materials. 6. Porches Deteriorated porch elements have been removed and replaced with inappropriate new materials. The repaired porch decking appears appropriately constructed. Summary The project mostly does not meet the applicable standards. COMMITTEE FEEDBACK Use the same profiles and designs for all woodwork. Porch columns, balustrades, and bracket detailing should be put back exactly, using historic photographs. Add transparent extensions to railings at original height where required by Code, e.g., a light metal topping rail. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Grant the applicant’s request to postpone the public hearing to allow time to implement Committee feedback. LOCATION MAP 10 – 2
11 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS SEPTEMBER 4, 2024 HR-2024-070259 STANLEY HOMESTEAD 1811 NEWTON STREET PROPOSAL Remove and rebuild limestone walls and stairs in new location. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The project consists of several Right-of-Way repairs and improvements, including: 1) Construct a sidewalk in place of the existing limestone block wall and stairs. 2) Reconstruct the non-historic limestone block wall and potentially historic-age stairs in new alignment with salvaged materials, replacing blocks in-kind where deteriorated beyond salvageability. ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STANDARDS The main house is a one-story limestone block cottage with gabled roof, 2:2 windows, and a covered front porch. The existing retaining wall and stairs are constructed of matching limestone blocks outside the fenceline. 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: Sites and streetscapes 2. Walls and fences 2.1 Retain historic fences and site walls on the street side or sides of the property, including gates and hardware. 2.2 Repair historic street-side fences and site walls with matching design and materials. 2.3 If damage or deterioration requires replacement of a portion of a street-side fence or site wall, replace only that portion in-kind, matching the design, materials, size, and finish. The proposal includes retention of existing materials, both historic-age and non-historic age, but moves the locations of the existing retaining wall and stairs. Where deteriorated, limestone will be replaced in-kind. 5. Sidewalks, driveways, and parking 5.2 Construct new sidewalks and driveways that are compatible with the character of the district in location, size, width, pattern, and material. The proposed project includes construction of a new sidewalk to match the existing sidewalk at the corner of the property. 6.Streetscape elements 6.3 Construct new streets, sidewalks, planting strips, curbs, ADA ramps, and alleys to be compatible with the style, scale, materials, and configuration of the historic district. 6.7 Constructing new sidewalks is encouraged, even if they were not historically present. See 5.2. Summary The project mostly meets the applicable standards. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the application.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS SEPTEMBER 4, 2024 HR-2024-101715 STATE THEATRE 719 CONGRESS AVENUE 12 – 1 PROPOSAL Reconstruct and replace sign. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Remove and store existing 1930s-era sign. 2) Reconstruct a replica sign, using the existing sign as a model. Though lighter and more energy-efficient than the original, the proposed replica sign is to be constructed of the same materials as the extant sign. Dimensions and neon lettering will match the extant sign as well. ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STANDARDS Two-story stucco theater building with metal awning and lit neon blade sign. The City of Austin’s Guidelines for Signs in Historic Districts or at City Landmarks are used to evaluate new, non-historic signage at locally-zoned landmarks and districts, as well as National Register Historic Districts. As the proposed project includes alteration to a historic-aged sign that is a character-defining feature of the State Theatre, the City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards, based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation, are used to evaluate this project. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 1. General standards While the proposed project removes intact historic material from the building’s exterior, removal is required to prolong the lifespan of the building itself, which was not designed to support the weight of the non-original extant sign.

Summary The project meets the applicable standards. The applicant has amended the proposal to reflect Committee feedback. COMMITTEE FEEDBACK STAFF RECOMMENDATION Repair or rehang existing sign if possible. Use neon lighting rather than LED lighting. Explore options for storage of existing sign. Approve the application.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS SEPTEMBER 4, 2024 HR-2024-095214 CASTLE HILL HISTORIC DISTRICT 701 BAYLOR STREET 14 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct a second-floor addition at the center-to-rear of the house, projecting above the existing roofline. Construction of a rooftop addition containing a bedroom and bathroom, to be accessed from within at a stairway from the ground floor residence. Addition will also feature a flat side terrace at the south half of the house, removing the existing side-gabled roof. The second-floor addition will have a roof sloping to the side that projects above the peak of the historic roof assembly by roughly five feet. The addition will be clad in steel and glass, and the wood cladding will be vertical, rather than horizontal, in orientation. Most windows are proposed to be removed at the ground floor of the southeast and northeast elevations, to be replaced with various styles of windows, most of which are steel framed. At the rear of the property, the ground floor deck is proposed to be extended, with a glass paneled handrail replacing the wood picket system. Below, the lower floor rear deck will be visually enclosed by a vertical slat assembly. Lower floor is proposed to be converted from one unit into two and would see one exterior door at the rear of the building removed. This would result in the property becoming a three-unit development. ARCHITECTURE The asymmetrical bungalow at 701 Baylor Street appears to be one-story from the front of the property, but due to the sloping elevation, there is a full lower floor that can be accessed from the side and rear. The house features an ample front gable with a smaller inset gable serving as cover over the front porch, which is supported by three ample brick and wood support posts. This porch extends across the southern two-thirds of the front façade. Four large windows are also present, two in each side of the front door. A slender chimney is located at the north side of the house, which extends above the moderately-pitched roof. The side of the house facing an alley features a privacy wall constructed of stone, brick, ceramic tile, and is capped with salvaged bowling balls.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS SEPTEMBER 4, 2024 HR-2024-100502 FINCH-KRUEGER HOUSE 3300 DUVAL STREET X.X – 1 PROPOSAL Install a replacement roof at sections of a landmarked building. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Remove limited sections of non-historic flat roof located at the rear half of the house. 2) Construct new roof structure, set at 2:12 pitch, and clad the walls in stucco. 3) Tie in the roof structure to the historic, with the partial height stucco walls located on top of existing load bearing walls. 4) Top the roof with metal roof to match the existing. ARCHITECTURE The Finch-Krueger House, built around 1914, was designed in the Prairie Craftsman style and features tan brick of varying shades on all sides. It sits prominently on the former of Duval Street and East 33rd Street, though is now moderately obstructed by foliage. The two-story residence features a generous front veranda recessed beneath a second-floor enclosed porch, which is accessed by a front stair that is bracketed by cylindrical columns tapered to the top and bottom. The front of the house can be viewed as a series of four stepped bays, with the third from the left projecting forward the most and featuring the main entryway. Three of the bays feature decorative brickwork between the first and second floors, and service accesses are present at both sides of the house. The roof is clad in red clay tile set at a moderate pitch. The overall roof pattern is complex but features gables above entryways at the side and front. 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 Replacement and patching of historic materials, in addition to the alterations required to make the roof pitched, are proposed to match those existing on other sections of the roof in accordance with Standard 1.3. Historic material will be retained to the greatest degree possible. 3. Roofs Material selected for repair, replacement, and new addition is appropriate to the character of the existing roof and will blend in well. The proposed roof enclosure is located at the rear of the property and will not be visible from Duval Street, and minimally visible from East 33rd Street. New …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS SEPTEMBER 4, 2024 HR-2023-043027 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1409 ALTA VISTA AVENUE 16 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1926 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story Craftsman with horizontal wood siding, screened wood windows, decorative shutters, a hooded entryway with decorative brackets, and a clipped-gable roof. The house at 1409 Alta Vista Avenue was built around 1926. Until 1947, its occupants were mostly short-term owners and renters, including an engineer, a state highway inspector, an office manager, and a mechanic. The home was then purchased by Frank and Lura Connolly. Frank Connolly was the editor, owner, and publisher of the Texas Tax Journal, while Lura worked both at the journal and as a Red Cross nurse. The Connollys sold the home in the late 1950s to Anna and William Duncum. William Duncum worked as a public-school teacher. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Travis Heights-Fairview Park 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 does not meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building is a good example of modest Craftsman architecture in Travis Heights. b. Historical association. The property does not appear to have 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 appear to 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 does not appear to be a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, aesthetic, cultural, or historical value to the city. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Strongly encourage adaptive reuse and rehabilitation, then relocation over demolition, but release the demolition permit upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package. The Historic Landmark Commission must review plans for new construction in National Register Historic Districts before the demolition permit is released.

Learn why this is External Email - Exercise Caution Hello -- I am writing regarding the planned demolition of 1409 Alta Vista Avenue. I am a proponent of new development within our city, but without careful planning and consideration, this project could be an imminent danger to heritage trees on the property, negatively impact the neighborhood and Alta Vista Avenue, and set the wrong precedent for development under updated building codes. I am urging a postponement of the demolition approval until a full development plan is shared and neighborhood concerns are addressed. I observed at the June 5, 2024 Historic Landmark Commission meeting that the owner of this property intends to carry out a full demolition followed by the construction of a triplex. The owner, however, has not attempted to contact or make clear his plans with immediate neighbors or the neighborhood association. As the owner and resident of the house next door, 1407 Alta Vista, I am greatly concerned about the impact of this project on the neighborhood, Alta Vista Avenue, and my property. While I support the creation of additional affordable housing units in our city, I have concerns about approving the demolition of this original structure without a clear understanding of the triplex plans for this lot. My specific concerns include: Preservation of Heritage Trees: There are seven heritage trees documented on the demolition permit. How will the project address the preservation of the beautiful heritage oak trees on the property? How do we ensure that the developer does not willfully violate tree preservation rules? Maintaining Existing Feel and Setbacks How will the project ensure the preservation of existing street's feel? The setbacks create a sense of openness and greenery that is unique and core to the identity of Travis Heights Street and Alley Access and Parking: How will access and parking be managed for three units on this lot? I urge the Historic Landmark Commission, and the city, to hold off on approving the demolition of the existing structure until there is a comprehensive review of the proposed plans to ensure …
From: To: Subject: Date: Hillary Bilheimer Historic Preservation Office Tree Ordinance Review Sunday, June 9, 2024 9:53:41 AM You don't often get email from . Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Hello I am writing about 1409 Alta Vista Av 78704 and the proposed development that is being permitted at that location. The developer has submitted plans for demolition of existing and building 3 new structures on the property. With seven heritage trees on the site, I am curious how this will happen. I am very much in support of keeping existing trees and setbacks in this neighborhood (I am an Alta Vista resident, myself). I do not support the current CoA loophole of essentially allowing developers to remove trees by paying a fine. This allows developers to merely absorb the fine in the case where they will turn around and sell whatever they are building at extremely inflated prices. It does nothing to actually preserve our heritage trees. In this particular case, both the developer and architect are from outside of Austin and can be assumed to only see the trees as a nuisance and not as the habitat-providing, shade-providing members of our urban forest that they are. Please let me know what is being done and what can still be done at this stage in order to protect these trees. Thank you Hillary Bilheimer 1802 Alta Vista Av CAUTION: This is an EXTERNAL email.

I am Co-chair of the South River City Citizens (SRCC) Historic Preservation Committee and a resident of the Travis Heights - Fairview Park National Register Historic District. Thank you for this opportunity to comment. The SRCC approved a resolution regarding this home, which will be provided to you separately. Because of technical difficulties last month, I was unable to speak virtually at that meeting, though I had signed up and was on the line when my name was called. What follows is substantively what I had intended to say, had the system worked as it should have. I will not be able to attend in person or virtually on July 3. Thank you for considering my comments in your decision. The Travis Heights - Fairview Park National Register Historic District includes 353 acres of the South River City Citizens neighborhood area. It includes the core of the neighborhood and many of the oldest homes in the neighborhood. The district was approved in July 2021, because it meets the required eligibility criteria for protection on the National Register. I urge you to disapprove the application for demolition of 1409 Alta Vista. Alta Vista is one of the most important streets in the National Register District. For example, the 2024 Preservation Austin historic homes tour featured the Mabel Davis home at 1308 Alta Vista, just a block away from this home proposed for demolition. Both the house and the separate but associated garage are identified as contributing structures in the National Register Historic District listing. As such, they would need separate applications for a demolition permit. 1409 Alta Vista is a beautiful one-story craftsman home built in approximately 1926. I appreciate the staff review of this home, though I believe the property may meet the three required designation criteria for historic landmark status, including community value. I encourage you to evaluate this further. …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS SEPTEMBER 4, 2024 HR-2024-097641 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 1703 NEWNING AVENUE 17 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a residence on a currently empty lot. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The proposal is construction of a new, single-family residence on a previously subdivided lot. RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS The lots now listed as 1701 and 1703 Newning Avenue were subdivided in 2010 for the purpose of constructing two single- family houses. Previously, a single residence was constructed in the mid-1940s, and demolished in 2006. Since that time, the land has remained undeveloped, with remnants of the original slab foundation present. There are records of renters living at this address as early as 1916, but no record could be found about buildings or structures on the site. 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. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location The street setback is generally consistent with the neighborhood, and although several structures on the street in the immediate vicinity are non-contributing newer builds, the proposed structure is in line with them. 2. Orientation Proposed construction is oriented towards the street, similar to contributing buildings in the neighborhood. The front door faces the street, though it is inset from the front carport, which dominates the right half of the front elevation. 3. Scale, massing, and height Many of the structures on the block, which are recent construction or are non-contributing, are two stories in height, like the proposed design. However, this height is not consistent with the larger neighborhood, which is largely single-story. Contributing houses are generally simple and rectangular in plan, often with rear additions for additional square footage. Due to the elevation changes in the neighborhood, second floors aren’t uncommon, but they are commonly found in the form of basements or lower floors at the back of a property. The design of the proposed project is not consistent with this, with the two-story section projecting towards the frontmost part of the house. An attached carport is attached to the side, and a rooftop shade assembly increases the maximum project height further. 4. Proportions District character is horizontal in detail, with lapped siding and wide front elevations with modestly pitched gable- or hipped- roofs are typical. The …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS SEPTEMBER 4, 2024 HR-2024-090303 OLD WEST AUSTIN HISTORIC DISTRICT 1109 CLAIRE AVENUE 18 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a detached 2-car garage at rear of the property. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct a 2-car garage at the rear of the property, where a different garage structure was previously located. Demolition of that structure was approved by HLC in 2024. The design of the proposed garage is oriented towards the side driveway present at the property. The roof of the garage is hipped is set at a modest pitch, which is similar in angle to the house. The garage will be held back from the contributing resource and will not be attached in any way. One side of the structure will be integrated into a general outdoor seating area with an outdoor fireplace and chimney proposed. ARCHITECTURE The main house located at 1109 Claire Avenue is a two-story asymmetrical construction clad in white stone with a covered porch located at the right two-thirds of both floors. These porches are supported by four square posts with modestly decorated capitals and bases. The first-floor posts are slightly larger than those above to support the additional weight, and the second floor has had a later handrail installed. At the left third of the front façade, a gable roof projects out towards the street. Windows on this elevation are hung 6-over-6s and 8-over-8s. The house, which has an overall side-gabled roof structure, is bookended with ample chimneys on the left and right sides, which are located at the center of their respective facades. The house extends to the rear of the property to create an L-shaped footprint. A front driveway bends around the property’s front, along the side, and to a parking are at the rear. RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS Constructed in 1941, this property was owned for several decades by E. Stuart & Dorrace Watt, owners of Stuart Watt Inc., which was heavily involved in the East Texas gas industry. The couple raised their children at this address with the help of a live-in attendant, Mamie Devaughn. E. Stuart Watt’s work with the oil and natural gas industry was in the distribution sector, with an office headquartered in downtown Austin.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS SEPTEMBER 4, 2024 DA-2024-089522 WEST DOWNTOWN AUSTIN HISTORIC DISTRICT 810 WEST 11TH STREET 19 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a contributing property. ARCHITECTURE A wide, double-pitch side-gabled roof dominates the front façade of the house. A dormer vent is present at the center located above and behind a small gable overhang above the front door, which features a modest pair of brackets on either side of it. There are windows on either side of the brackets, and, while similar in size and material, do not match and provide a small amount of asymmetry to the elevation. The windows have been replaced with newer units and feature nonfunctional shutters. There is a concrete porch held two steps above ground in front of the door, with a simple metal handrail all around. The foundation is pier-on-beam, with a vented crawlspace underneath the floor. The house is almost entirely clad in buff brick in good condition, except for the side dormers, which are clad in wood lap siding with vents also present. RESEARCH The house at 810 West 11th Street was built in the early-to-mid 1930s, and the long-term owners for over 20 years were Joseph & Ida Kasper. The former was a furrier and owned a business at 109 East 9th Street in downtown Austin. While living at the address, they housed their children while they studied at the University of Texas. The son, Albert, was a dentistry student who left school to serve in World War II and finished his degree upon his return, graduating in 1945. Their daughter, Beatrice, graduated from university and became a teacher at Baker Junior High School in Hyde Park. She married Stewart Barnett in 1947 and they lived together in the house before moving out sometime after 1949. In 1987, the residence was converted to office use, and has continued in this function to present day. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the West Downtown 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 does not meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building is a good example of an intact minimal traditional bungalow in the district. b. Historical association. The property does …

20 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS SEPTEMBER 4, 2024 PR-2024-042274; GF-2024-043970 1205 COTTON STREET PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1923 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story Craftsman bungalow with horizontal siding, 1:1 wood windows, and a partial-width porch supported by tapered posts atop stucco piers. It features exposed rafter tails beneath the gabled roof’s deep eaves. The house at 1205 Cotton Street was likely constructed around 1920, though the property’s longest-term occupants purchased the lot several years before. Henry Peter sold the property to Edward “Eddie” T. and Effie Esler White Yerwood in December of 1912. The Yerwoods, newlyweds, were both educators: Professor E. T. Yerwood was the principal of the West Austin School and district superintendent of the Sunday School convention of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and Effie E. Yerwood was a teacher of history at L. C. Anderson High School. Professor Yerwood died on March 1, 1917. Between 1922 and 1935, Effie Yerwood either remodeled the existing house extensively or constructed a new house at the same place on the lot. Mrs. Effie Esler White Yerwood completed teaching coursework at Guadalupe College and Texas College in Seguin and Tyler. She attended Tillotson College and received her B.A. from Samuel Huston College shortly thereafter. Because Black teachers could not earn teaching certificates in Texas at the time1, she also studied at the University of Colorado and the University of California.2 After beginning her teaching career in 1910, Effie E. Yerwood taught at L. C. Anderson from 1917 until 1954. In a 1971 retrospective on her years of service with Anderson High with home economics dean Mattie Durden (who eventually became President of the Community Welfare Association and trustee of Huston Tillotson College3), Yerwood recounts the disparity between Black and white schools during the era of segregation: “[Anderson was] lacking a whole lot…the only equipment [Yerwood] remembers having was an old Bunsen burner, some rocks, and a tuning fork.”4 Yerwood and Durden also recalled the significant discrepancy between white teachers’ pay and their own, and how school administration explained away this injustice by stating that Black teachers had a lower cost of living than white ones. “I would tell them that just because you are a Negro doesn’t mean that you get discounts at stores,”5 Yerwood told the Austin American-Statesman. During the 1950s, as she neared retirement, Yerwood purchased the house next door and moved it onto the rear …
