HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS MARCH 28, 2022 2206 EAST SIDE DRIVE D.3 – 1 Relocate a ca. 1915-1920 house outside city limits. PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story Craftsman bungalow with partial-width covered porch supported by tapered columns atop brick piers, 1:1 screened wood windows, exposed rafter tails at eaves, and triangular brackets at gable ends. The house at 2206 East Side Drive, formerly known as 2210 East Side Drive and 2210 Goodall Street, was built by the Wright family in the early twentieth century as part of the family’s dairy farm. City directories do not include records prior to the 1930s, as the farm was located outside the city limits. The Wright family had operated a dairy farm in South Austin since at least 1899.1 Claude W. Wright, Sr., and his wife Ethel Bowling Wright inherited the business from William W. Wright, who migrated to Texas from Mississippi after serving in the Confederate army as a teenager. Claude Wright, known as “Cap,” also served as a city fireman2 after his retirement from the dairy industry in 1946, a post he held for nearly twenty years. After the Wright family sold the dairy farm, the house became a rental property to several families. Renters during the 1940s and 1950s included clerks, butchers, saleswomen, and manufacturing employees. PROPERTY EVALUATION Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high integrity. However, the building’s integrity of setting has been compromised, as it no longer retains the rural surroundings appropriate for an agricultural complex, nor does it retain significant associated outbuildings present in historic photos. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it may meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building is a Craftsman bungalow. b. Historical association. The property appears to have been part of the Wright dairy farm prior to the widespread c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human urbanization of South Austin. history or prehistory of the region. d. Community value. The property does not 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 is not a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, …

I've lived there for 40 years. I found the home first listed in the directory at the Austin History Center in the early 1940s as the C.W. Wright Dairy. Both 2206 and 2210 East Side Drive were listed as properties owned by the C.W Wright Dairy. I was told that I am only the third owner of the property. I bought the property from Allen Messenger and his wife who owned it for only a short time while they were building a home outside of the city limits. My neighbor, Mr. Victor Polanco, who lived across the street told me that the home was rented out for years and it became severely deteriorated. From his front yard, he saw rats entering the home through holes in the roof and wood siding. The back yard was 1 covered by an asphalt parking area that extended almost to the back of the lot. It was large enough to accommodate several cars. When I closed on my home in January 1982, this area was not safe. South Congress was a very dangerous place where no one walked at night. Of course, that’s changed. This house sits on what used to be open land on the outer edges of the city prior to the 1940s. Over the past ten years, the character of East Side Drive has changed. Most of the surrounding homes have been …

It will have an exterior cladding of brick and stained wood siding. Windows will be a mixture of casement, sliding, and fixed single pane glass windows. The primary façade is composed of two fixed single-pane windows and a centrally placed entry door with sidelight. There is a front deck of approximately 112 square feet and a rear back patio. The modern aesthetic takes cues from the Minimal Traditional style in its lack of ornamentation, proportions, and material choice. 1717 W. 30th is a Minimal Traditional style single-family residence built circa 1941. It is on pier and beam foundation and approximately 1625 square feet of wood frame construction with asbestos shingle siding, a hipped roof, and wood 1:1 single-pane windows. It has a central small covered front porch with simple boxed pilasters supporting a hipped roof extension over a single paneled door entrance. There is a raised wooden deck with steps attached to the back of the residence. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH 1717 W. 30th was built circa 1941 by Ken Sanders. It was then rented by James W. and Ora Robinson in 1944. The property was then purchased by M. C. and Elizabeth S. Robinson around 1947. Still, it was vacant by 1949 until it was purchased by E. Morris and Grace E. Alford, owners of Morris Alford Insurance Agency. Mr Morris served as a staff officer at Lackland Air Force Base and President of the Austin Appraisal Association. Donald O. and Dorothy Reinhackel, who owned Harold G. Reinhackel & Son, insurance company, purchased the home in approximately 1955 and welcomed a son while living at here.

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Replace all existing steel casement windows with fiberglass clad wood windows, no divided lite. Current window locations and sizes remain the same. The owner is open to a divided lite pattern if the Commission feels like that would be a more appropriate replacement. 2) Three exterior doors on North and West facades to be replaced with the new fiberglass casement windows. New windows will fit within existing door openings. This modification will move the entrance from the street-facing façade to the East façade. 3) Replace the existing window with a new full-lite, fiberglass door, and sidelights on the East façade.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS FEBRUARY 28, 2022 HR-2022-016431; PR 2022-002618 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK 1803 KENWOOD AVE C.10. 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish a circa 1937 single-story residence and replace it with a new construction single-family residence. 1) Total demolition of existing contributing single-family residence built-in 1937. 2) Construction of new single-family residence with in-ground pool in rear, garage, and carport. The proposed primary building is a two-story minimalist style. It features a compound roofline, fixed-pane, and casement full-light fenestration in irregular pattern; dark grey brick on the first story and light-colored exterior stucco cladding on the slightly overhanging second story. The rear second-story elevation has a small rear balcony with a horizontal metal railing overlooking the pool. Designs indicate a side entry garage and direct neighboring carport located in front of the residence. A horizontal wood fence is situated directly in front of the carport, which shields the carport and garage from direct view from the street. The roofline was changed to a front-gabled form after meeting with the Architecture Review Committee on March 18, 2022. The windows were changed to a regular fenestration pattern on the front façade, a small covered front porch and additional brick were also added to the primary facade, and the wood fence and garage were removed. The carport was turned to face the street directly. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Wood frame, single-story, residential construction on pier and beam foundation. The structure is of the Minimal Traditional style with a side gable with a front-facing cross gable design.
