HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS JUNE 1, 2022 C14H-2011-0020; HR-2022-062618 LINDEMANN HOUSE 1100 E 8TH STREET B.8 – 1 PROPOSAL Window replacement throughout. Convert a rear window into a door. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The existing building has 2:2 double-hung wood windows with wood screens. The applicant is proposing to replace the existing windows with 2:2 wood windows and replace a rear window with a wood door. ARCHITECTURE Constructed ca. 1887, the Lindemann House is a 1 ½-story Folk Victorian house built of Austin common brick. The house has a side-gabled roof with a centered, front-facing gable. The full-width porch has a jigsawn balustrade between six square columns with chamfered corners, decorative trim, and jigsawn brackets. Windows are 2:2 double-hung wood within segmental arched openings. The house sits on a considerable rise above E. 8th and Waller streets. A raised lawn surrounding the house is reached by steps from the corner and side street, with decorative metal gates and railings. Between, dense primrose jasmine grows along the slope out to the curb line, with no sidewalk. 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 5. Windows, doors, and screens Standard 5.13 establishes requirements for historic landmarks. It states that window and door openings should not be enlarged, moved, or enclosed except as required by an addition. On the north elevation, a window will be replaced by a white pine door, altering the existing opening. However, the window that is being replaced is on the back of the house and will not be visible from the street. Summary The project largely meets the applicable standards. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the application but encourage the applicant to repair, rather than replace, any original windows at front and sides of house or where visible from the street. Consider approval of rear window replacement with door. Should the Commission allow replacement, encourage the applicant to keep and store the existing window so that the alteration may be reversed in the future.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JUNE 1, 2021 HR-2021-154877 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1411 ETHRIDGE AVENUE C.1 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Demolish a ca. 1939 contributing building and associated outbuildings. Two-story, symmetrical-plan, cross-gabled Classical Revival house with 6:6 and 9:9 wood windows, horizontal siding, and a full-width porch supported by boxed columns. Details include dentils at cornice, sidelights and transom at front door, Classical cornice returns at gable ends, and wood shutters. The house and outbuildings at 1411 Ethridge Avenue were built in 1939 for Claude A. and Clara Williams. Claude Williams served as Texas’ assistant Secretary of State at the time of the home’s construction. He went on to head the Texas Unemployment Commission. By 1949, Dr. Revace (called Sam) and Margaret Ann Swearingen had purchased the property. Dr. Sam Swearingen served as the chief of staff, chief of surgery, and chairman of the Board of Trustees at Brackenridge Hospital; he later became chief of staff at the Austin State Hospital, medical director of the Denton State School, and medical director of the San Angelo State Center. Toward the end of the historic period, in the late 1960s, the Villaseñor family moved into the house. Lois Villaseñor, along with her husband Charles, had opened Mission Funeral Home on East Cesar Chavez Street—the first funeral parlor that catered to Latinos in segregated Austin—in the 1950s. According to her obituary, Villaseñor “was one of only a handful of women to graduate from a mortuary college in Houston [in 1961]. She was the first Latino woman to serve on the Texas Funeral Service Commission as a 1989 appointee of Gov. Bill Clements. She also served on the boards of Catholic charities and Latino political groups, serving at one point as the president of the local LULAC council.”1 PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Old West 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 may meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building is constructed in the Classical Revival style. b. Historical association. The property is associated with Lois and Charles Villaseñor, Claude A. Williams, and c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant …

ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story side-gabled house with shed-roofed covered entryway, symmetrical paired 6:6 wood windows, and an enclosed rear porch. The house at 1810 Mohle Drive was built in 1946 by James R. Mosely. It served as a rental for the first few years of its existence. By 1949, Ralph R. and Faye Upchurch had purchased the property. Ralph Upchurch worked as the chief auditor for the Texas State Employees’ Retirement System. The Upchurch family occupied the residence until around 1957, when it again became a rental property. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Old West 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 does not appear to convey architectural significance. 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 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. e. Landscape feature. The property is not a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, aesthetic, cultural, or historical value to the city.

PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Design proposal includes replacing 21 original wood windows with double-hung fiberglass windows. Muntins are located between the glass in a 3 x 2 configuration. Window openings will remain the same size throughout. Two-story, side-gabled, masonry veneer house with 6:6 wood windows, wood shutters, and metal roof. The home appears to have been built in 1932 by Maurice F. Granville, though city directories only have him listed as living there in 1932. Directories reveal that his wife and widow, Dora H. Granville, lived in the house during most of the period of significance. Dora Granville lived in the house with her children Maurice Jr., Chester, and Charles Granville. Chester Granville was the captain of the University of Texas basketball team and later served in the United States military in World War II. Charles Granville was an internationally known concert pianist and composer who performed in Europe and Central and South America.1 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: Repair and alterations 5. Windows, doors, and screens Standards in this section emphasize retaining intact historic windows and pursuing selective replacement only when necessary due to deterioration. Per the application, the windows merit replacement based on concerns for energy efficiency and lack of function. The design standards weather-stripping, sealing joints and cracks, installing more efficient heating and cooling equipment, insulating the roof, installing solar screens in existing frames, and adding interior storm windows before replacing historic windows The proposed windows’ false muntins are not appropriate for replacement windows, though the grid pattern is generally compatible with the character of the building and district. Summary The project does not meet the applicable standards. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Old West Austin National Register district. 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).

FRAME OPTIONS Frame design considerations on the Renewal by Andersen portfolio of products begin with evaluating the installation strategies utilized in window replacement. These strategies are: Insert Installation Strategy The old window frame is solid and/or interior or exterior trim needs to be saved. In this case, an insert application is the appropriate installation strategy. These installations are also typically less disruptive to the home. A typical installation requires removing the old sash and any interfering hardware from the existing window frame, yet leaves the frame and trim intact. Universal Frame The Universal Frame design incorporates features on the frame to enable both INSERT and FULL FRAME installations. The products utilizing the Universal Frame design can be configured with a variety of accessories or frame modifica- tions to accommodate the installation method that is appro- priate for the home AND incorporates an accessory kerf on the exterior for inserting L-Trims or coil stock to complete the installation. Full Frame The Full Frame design incorporates features on the frame that allow for the attachment of interior and exterior trim accessories. NOTE: The only Renewal by Andersen® products that utilize a “full-frame” design are the DB Double-Hung and PWF Picture Window. Insert Frame The Insert Frame design incorporates features in the frame the enable a seamless insert installation into existing window frames. The frame exterior includes an accessory kerf for inserting L-Trims or coil stock to complete the installation on the exterior. NOTE: The only Renewal by Andersen® products that utilize an “insert frame” design are the DB Double-Hung and PWI Picture Window. Weatherstrip A diverse system made up of automotive grade EPDM foam filled bulbs, piles and constant-force reinforced low friction polymer components provide multiple layers of protection from the elements. Refer to specific product sections for weatherstrip details. Solid Frame Window Insert Full Frame Installation Strategy The old window is deteriorated beyond repair or opening modifications are required. In this case, a full frame applica- tion is the appropriate installation strategy. These installa- tions can be more disruptive to a home and typically require complete removal of the existing window as well as the interior and exterior trim components. In order to achieve either an insert or full frame window replacement strategy, the Renewal by Andersen portfolio of products incorporates three different frame designs.

Exterior materials include metal paneling, brick, and stucco. The proposed new house is set back approximately 25’ from the street. A perforated CMU wall shields the structure’s first floor. Fenestration includes fixed single-pane full-height windows with transoms, single-pane sliders with transoms, casements, and fixed clerestory windows. Balconies with metal guardrails accent the secondary elevations. The proposed garage is oriented toward the alley at the back of the lot. 2) Construct an ADU adjacent to the main house. The proposed ADU is clad in brick and stucco, with a gabled roof and second-floor balcony at gable end. A solid CMU wall with wood entry gate shields the building’s first floor, and a partial-width awning shelters the entrance. Fenestration includes 1:1 sash windows, single-pane casement windows, a fully glazed front door, and full-height sash windows. 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 buildings are located 25’ from the street, with parking and garages at the alley side of the lot. 2. Orientation Both properties are oriented toward the street. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed buildings appear an appropriate height and scale at the main elevation, though their massing is somewhat monolithic compared with the more articulated historic-age houses in the district. 4. Proportions The proposed buildings’ proportions appear somewhat compatible at the main façade, though secondary façades do not appear to reflect proportions elsewhere in the district. The metal screening at the second floor of the main house may decrease compatibility. 5. Design and style Both proposed buildings are consistent in their design and style, though both designs are somewhat incompatible with nearby contributing buildings. 6. Roofs The compound flat roof at the proposed primary structure is not found elsewhere in the district. The gabled roof at the proposed secondary structure is somewhat compatible, though its lack of eaves detracts from its compatibility. 7. Exterior …

ARCHITECTURE The 2020 Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register Nomination lists 804 Rutherford Place as the only exemplar of a representative domestic property constructed with a “mixed” architectural style. This unique eclecticism includes Mission, Tudor Revival, and Swiss influences. The nomination’s description is as follows: The small apartment building at 804 Rutherford Place is a good example of an eclectic, mixed design that draws from three styles, in this case Mission Revival, Tudor Revival, and Swiss. The building is two stories in height, with buff- and tan-colored brick walls and a flat roof. The front elevation has a symmetrical arrangement, with a one- story, partial-width entrance volume extending from the rectangular main building volume. The projecting entrance has Tudor Revival details including an arched entrance door, arched hood molding over the door, narrow windows with decorative shutters, and flared wrought iron stair railings. The main two-story volume has little decoration. It has single 1/1 windows on the first floor and two sets of paired 1/1 windows on the second floor. Its modest Mission Revival details are limited to a narrow, divided light, arched window in the center of the upper floor, and a stepped parapet. The Swiss detailing includes the scalloped bargeboard. All window openings have brick sills, and the parapet coping is brick.i The building at 806 Rutherford Place is constructed with a similar plan, form, and fenestration pattern, though 806 Rutherford shows only Mission influences. 806 Rutherford Place was constructed in 1925 by the Austin Real Estate Abstract Company. 803 E.

804 Rutherford Pl. Remodel Proposed Plans and Scope of Work Our goal of this project is to preserve the existing structure, while converting it from a duplex to a single-family residence and update the exterior as well as the interior. As the current home is suffering from years of neglect or poor workmanship on repairs, we are hoping to repair or replace the failing materials/systems and return this home to its former glory. We are hoping to get the approval of the Historic Landmark Commission to make the following proposed changes. Street-Facing Elevation - Exterior Changes: • Repair/replace damaged brick façade and mortar with in-kind materials. We propose sourcing bricks manufactured at roughly the same time as existing or from a vendor, such as Old Texas Brick, who uses century old machines, as well as expertly skilled craftsmen, to produce a beautiful blend of artisanal brick, full of character and beauty. Will be as close to original as possible. • Replace all windows with similar single hung wood frame windows. • Replace existing composite shingle roof, on gable, and flashing. • Repair/replace and paint exterior wood trim. • Replace front door with similar wood door and inset glazing. • Replace steel handrail and front steps with similar design and materials. • Potentially add a privacy fence/wall that matches building masonry/materials • Replant and update landscaping Eastern and Western Elevations – Exterior Changes: • Repair/replace damaged brick façade (same as proposed front elevation). o Potentially change rear half of building to more cost-effective material, such as fiber cement siding in a “board and batten” pattern. • Replace all windows with similar single hung wood frame windows. o Potentially reprogram windows in rear half of building to allow for interior changes. Rear Elevation – Exterior Changes: • Remove two-story wood deck. • Add roughly 300 square feet of new air-conditioned living space on first floor. o Full architectural plans to follow committee approval • Rebuild covered deck on second floor of building. Additional New Construction: • Swimming Pool added in rear of property • Guest/pool house added in rear of property. Roughly 500 square feet. o Designed to look like main structure. o Not to exceed maximum allowable F.A.R. or impervious cover for property. • 6-foot wooden privacy fence at sides and rear of property. • Landscape and drainage plan TBD.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JUNE 1, 2022 HR-2022-016431; PR 2022-002618 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK 1803 KENWOOD AVE C.4 – 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. It is typical of Minimal Traditional design with horizontal wood siding, two sets of symmetrical multi-pane, 6:6 wood windows flanked by slim, simple shutters. There is a small, round gable vent in the front-facing gable façade. The single door entry has a concrete landing and is covered with a wooden awning supported by decorative wooden brackets. The awning is a continuation of the asphalt roof. There is a thin, slightly turned metal balustrade and railing on the front concrete steps and landing. 1803 Kenwood Avenue was likely built by the prominent dentist and civic activist Dr. R.L. Struhall in 1937. Dr. Struhall and his wife Lillian Parma had moved to 1805 Kenwood by 1942. According to City Directories, in 1941, 1803, Kenwood was owned by Raymond W., Jr. and his wife, Marjorie M. Ramsey. Raymond was employed at the R & R Service …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JUNE 1, 2022 HR-2022-026102 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK 1205 ALTA VISTA AVENUE C.6 – 1 Demolish existing two-story duplex and secondary building and construct a new three-story single-family house. PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS 1) Demolish existing house and rear garage apartment. 2) Construct a three-story house. The proposed building is flat-roofed and clad in stucco, board-and-batten, tongue-and- groove siding, and cedar slats. Fenestration includes fixed undivided windows and casement windows with irregular spacing, proportions, and orientation throughout; a front-facing garage; and sliding glass doors. The primary building at 1205 Alta Vista Avenue is a two-story cross-gabled duplex with horizontal siding, 6:6 wood windows, arched six-light accent windows, and composition shingle roof. 1205 Alta Vista Avenue was constructed around 1939 for Mary G. Sanders, along with a garage.1 A rear dwelling unit was constructed later. It appears to have been constructed as a duplex, and mostly housed two families in the main building and one in the rear unit. Renters were largely short-term and included a cattle buyer, a meat inspector, a bookkeepers, students, and oil company 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: Residential new construction 1. Location The proposed new building is set back approximately 25’, in line with historic-age buildings on the street. 2. Orientation The proposed new building’s orientation is consistent with the predominant orientation of contributing buildings on the same block. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed new building is three stories, while nearby contributing buildings are one and two stories; its floor-to-floor and foundation height does not appear consistent with nearby contributing buildings. Its monolithic massing is not compatible with the district. 4. Proportions The proposed building’s proportions are not compatible with those of contributing buildings on the block. 5. Design and style The proposed building is differentiated from historic buildings and its details are consistent with its style, but its overall design is at odds with the historic district in terms of scale, massing, proportions, patterns, and some materials. 1 "Real Estate Transaction 1 -- no Title."
