HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS SEPTEMBER 7, 2022 HR-2022-067914 TRAVIS HEIGHTS - FAIRVIEW PARK 2107 BRACKENRIDGE STREET 12 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish ca. 1946 house and ca. 1940 accessory building and construct a new duplex. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish existing buildings and construct a new duplex. The proposed duplex has a compound flat and gabled roof clad in standing-seam metal. Its exterior cladding includes stucco, diagonal wood siding, and stone. Fenestration is irregular throughout and includes undivided fixed and casement windows and full height sliding doors. ARCHITECTURE One-story cross-gabled house with horizontal siding, 1:1 windows, and rear two-story garage apartment. RESEARCH The primary building at 2107 Brackenridge Street was built in 1946 in front of an existing garage apartment, built 1940, which was converted to a duplex in 1949. Its residents included a cleaner, two carpenters, a rental property manager, and a tailor. 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 in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location The proposed duplex is located approximately 50’ from Brackenridge Street. 2. Orientation The front unit of the proposed duplex is oriented toward the primary streetscape. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed duplex is two stories in height, with complex massing that appears at odds with the relatively simple massing of surrounding buildings. 4. Proportions The proposed duplex’s two-story height and top-heavy massing appear incompatible with nearby contributing buildings. 5. Design and style The proposed duplex’s postmodern style does not appear compatible with surrounding buildings. 6. Roofs The gabled roofline is somewhat compatible, though the complexity of the roofline is not. 7. Exterior walls The proposed cladding materials are not appropriate for the district, with the exception of the stucco, which appears elsewhere in the district. 8. Windows and doors The proposed irregular fenestration is largely incompatible; however, the applicant has amended the design to improve compatibility. 11. Attached garages and carports The proposed carports somewhat serve as a step-up element to mitigate the duplex’s upper-story visual weight. Summary The project does not meet most of the applicable standards. 12 – 2 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 …

The following standards apply to the proposed project: The ADU is sited at the rear of the property and behind the primary contributing property. It is is compatible with the historic design guidelines. 1.3 Locate accessory buildings in a way that follows the historic location and setback patterns of similar buildings on the block or in the district. Garage apartments, detached garages, and other accessory buildings are typically located at the rear of the lot, behind and to the side of the front building. 3. Scale, massing, proportions and height The ADU’s two story height and proportions detracts from the primary contributing structure but the rear placement and setback on the lot helps to offset the height. 3.6 Design accessory buildings to be visually subordinate to the primary building in height, massing, and form, as viewed from the street. 5. Design and style The design and style of the ADU is of simple, clean lines, with wood and stucco materials, not dissimilar to Mid-Century Modern buildings. Its placement at the rear of the property helps it appear further sympathetic, and it does not compete with the Ranch Style of the primary house …

No plans for new construction have been submitted. One-story cross-gabled Minimal Traditional house with cut-stone veneer, simple wood frieze and pilasters, and 6:6 wood windows. 1200 Marshall Lane was built in 1939 for Mrs. Jennie Davis. Jennie Davis worked as a clerk at the State Highway Department, and shared the home with her son, Sam Davis, until he joined the Army and was sent to Fort Sam Houston to work as a medical technician in 1941. Davis then rented portions of her home to tenants, including a lawyer and a university student, throughout the 1950s.

Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352).

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS SEPTEMBER 7, 2022 HR-2022-119946 WEST LINE 1206 MARSHALL LANE 16 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1946 building and construct a new residence. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish existing residence. 2) Construct a two- and one-half story house. The proposed building is clad in stucco with vertical wood accent siding and painted steel panels. It is capped by a compound hipped, flat, and shed roof of standing-seam metal. Fenestration includes undivided sliders, fixed, and casement windows, as well as fully glazed doors. A flat-roofed porch extends at the first level to form a carport. 3) Construct a two-story garage apartment. The proposed building is attached to the main house by a flat steel trellis and is clad to match. Fenestration is simple and the gabled roof is of standing-seam metal. 4) Construct a swimming pool. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS One-story Minimal Traditional house with partial-width porch, 1:1 windows, cross-gabled roof, and masonry veneer. The house at 1206 Marshall Lane was built in 1946 by K. S. DeBusk. Its first owner was Louise P. Dolman, who worked as a clerk at the State Adjutant General and the IRS. Following Dolman’s departure, it was occupied by salesman Clyde Achols and State Education Agency consultant Margaret Scholl. 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: Residential new construction 1. Location The proposed buildings appear appropriately sited and set back. 2. Orientation The proposed buildings’ orientations appear consistent with contributing buildings on the block. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed building’s height is one-half story taller than the tallest surrounding building. Its irregular massing is mitigated by the horizontal front porch and carport and stepped-down flat roof. 4. Proportions The main building’s proportions are not compatible with nearby contributing buildings. 5. Design and style The proposed buildings’ design and style appear consistent and differentiated, though they do not appear to take cues from the surrounding district. 6. Roofs The proposed compound roofline does not appear compatible. 7. Exterior walls While the proposed stucco cladding is somewhat compatible, the metal accent panels are not; horizontal siding would be more compatible than vertical. 8. Windows and doors The proposed irregular fenestration is not compatible with nearby contributing …
