HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FEBRUARY 28, 2022 CASE NUMBER C14H-1977-0015 REVEREND JACOB FONTAINE GOLD DOLLAR BUILDING 2402 SAN GABRIEL STREET Remove ca. 1942 enclosure and return the second-floor balcony to its ca. 1923 appearance. 1) Remove horizontal and vertical wood siding and wood windows from the second-floor balcony enclosure. 2) Retain and repair wood framing from previous open balcony configuration, including chamfered columns and roof PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS structure. 3) Install a wood railing. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE The Rev. Jacob Fontaine Gold Dollar Building is highly significant as the sole remaining building of Wheatville. This community was a freedom colony otherwise erased through redlining and implementation of the 1928 City Plan, which established a “negro district” in East Austin by denying basic services elsewhere in the city. In 2018, the building was renamed from the Franzetti Store to the Reverend Jacob Fontaine Gold Dollar Building to recognize its earlier significance in African American history. Rev. Fontaine established several Baptist churches, was an educator, was politically active, and published the Gold Dollar, an early Black newspaper. His home at 2400 San Gabriel St. was destroyed by arson and rebuilt. Family history indicates that this building, 2402 San Gabriel, was the location of the Gold Dollar and the founding of New Hope Baptist Church. Fontaine died in 1898. In the early 20th century, Italian immigrant families, the Perrones and Franzettis, operated a neighborhood grocery store in the building. It remained in the Franzetti family through the time of landmark designation in 1977. During their ownership, the Franzettis made multiple additions and modifications to the building.1 ARCHITECTURE Two-story limestone building with paired doors and a storefront window with transoms on the ground floor of the façade and segmental-arched window openings with 6:6-light wood windows on the side elevations at the second floor. On the front of the building, three stuccoed columns support a second-floor balcony with a shed roof, enclosed with horizontal and vertical wood siding and square single-hung wood windows. There is a two-story shed-roofed addition on the rear (west) elevation. Extending north from the façade is a one-story stone wall, behind which a one-story shed-roofed addition is no longer extant. The façade of the building at the first floor, the one-story wall, and the first-floor porch columns are stuccoed. The building was originally constructed around 1869 as a one-story stone building, expanded to its two-story form around …

2/21/22, 11:17 AM Preserve the Jacob Fontaine Gold Dollar Building – RETELLING CENTRAL TEXAS HISTORY RETELLING CENTRAL TEXAS HISTORY https://ctxretold.org/preserve-the-jacob-fontaine-gold-dollar-building/ 1/14 2/21/22, 11:17 AM Preserve the Jacob Fontaine Gold Dollar Building – RETELLING CENTRAL TEXAS HISTORY Preserve the Jacob Fontaine Gold Dollar Building As the last remaining structure of Wheatville, a mostly forgotten community of persons who were formerly enslaved in Texas and across the US, the Jacob Fontaine Gold Dollar Building at 2402 San Gabriel Street is an important physical foundation for Black social memory in Austin. While it is a City of Austin Landmark, the structure has endured significant physical changes over the years—alterations that are nevertheless of historic age, part of the building’s historic significance. This statement reanimates and substantiates the history of the structure and the freed-person community originally surrounding it, establishing the Gold Dollar Building as a valuable site for the city’s Black heritage and collective historical memory. In doing so, it makes the case for its treatment as a commemorative space and calls into question allowing further physical modifications to the structure. During a time when Austin’s Black population was at about 36%, several white men who owned property in Division D began to sell lots to freedmen. Joseph Caruthers, a freedman from North or South Carolina, acquired property in outlot 46, including the site of present-day 900 West 24 Street, from Colonel John M. Thomas in December 1868. Shortly after, in the th spring and summer of 1869, a freedman from Arkansas, James Wheat, acquired three parcels from Thomas, also in outlot 46 and including present-day 2409 San Gabriel. The Wheat family became the namesake, if not the founders, of a freedom colony or freedmen’s community called Wheatville. Other Black folks soon also bought small lots in the area—including George Franklin, who bought property at present-day 2402 San Gabriel St. that same year and set up a wagon park on it—and the self-directed community began to grow. The increase in that property’s value indicates that Franklin developed it in some way, possibly with a one-story, stone building with a lean-to (FIG 1). https://ctxretold.org/preserve-the-jacob-fontaine-gold-dollar-building/ 2/14 2/21/22, 11:17 AM Preserve the Jacob Fontaine Gold Dollar Building – RETELLING CENTRAL TEXAS HISTORY Figure 1 – Gold Dollar Building 1869-1875.

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS DESIGN STANDARDS 5.2.5: Roofs Replace existing shingle roof with standing-seam metal in brown color. No slope change is proposed. The Aldridge Place Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1. Retain the original roof pitches and profiles on the building. Avoid changes to roofs on the front of the building. Avoid adding to the eave height of original roofs, especially at the front of the structure. Retain historic dormers. The proposed project does not modify existing roof pitches or profiles. 2. In replacing roof materials, consider first the use of the original material, then the use of a product that resembles the original material, such as a fiberglass or other energy-efficient shingle. metal roofs are also acceptable. Preserve original gable/attic vents and roof brackets. The proposed project replaces a shingle roof with metal. Summary The project meets the applicable standards. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Aldridge Place Historic District. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the application, encouraging the applicant to choose a shingle replacement over standing-seam metal for enhanced compatibility.

207 West 33rd Street in Aldridge Place Historic District Replace Composition Shingle Roof with Standing Seam Metal Roof •Front gabled house with front gabled porch, meaning visibility of roof from the front is limited •Like all the composition shingled houses in my neighborhood, my roof needs replacement •Proposed roof would be brown-colored standing seam metal West View East View Only Similar Request to HLC from 2019 through 2021 4205 Avenue F Approved on Consent September 28, 2020 (Its roof has greater visibility than mine) Climate-Related Environmental Reasons for Request • Heat and hail are primary reasons • In Austin, eight of the top ten years by number of days over 100 degrees have been since 2000 • The past seven years were Earth's warmest on record "by a clear margin" • A team of Canadian researchers estimates that stronger storms, combined with larger updrafts, will lead to the production of bigger hailstones in parts of North America Composition Shingle Limitations • Thermal changes cause composition shingles to break down as they heat up and cool down • Their lifespan is 20 to 25 years in an average climate (Austin is a hotter than average climate) • When replaced, the existing shingles must be discarded. They take up landfill space and are a waste of resources Advantages of Metal Roofs • Metal roof are made, in part, of recycled materials • Metal roofs can be recycled if replacement is needed • Metal roofs have an average lifespan of 50 to 70 years More Advantages of Metal Roofs • Metal roofs are more energy-efficient because of their reflective qualities (thanks to microscopic ceramics bits in the paint that reflect heat) • They absorb less heat during the day and reduce heat transmission to a home’s interior • Because they don’t absorb as much heat as shingles, metal roofs cool down faster at night. They don’t contribute as much to the heat island effect that exists in Central Austin Aldridge Place Design Standards 5.2.5: Roofs (Identical to Hyde Park Historic District’s Standards) 1. Retain the original roof pitches and profiles on the building. Avoid changes to roofs on the front of the building.… 2.
