2.A – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION STAFF UPDATE ON RELOCATION ISSUE JUNE 28, 2021 C14H-2000-0012 STANLEY HOMESTEAD OUTBUILDING 1809 NEWTON ST. PROJECT BACKGROUND The Historic Landmark Commission approved a Certificate of Appropriateness on February 27, 2017 for relocation of a historic landmark, the Stanley Homestead Outbuilding, within its site. This approval was specifically based on an understanding that the stones would be numbered and reassembled in the exact same configuration. In a post on LinkedIn on May 20, 2021, the former owner of the building posted a link to a 2017 video, which appears to show demolition rather than relocation of the building. Commissioners viewed the video at the May 24, 2021 Commission meeting and voted to request that staff pursue legal remedies.

The Commission approved relocation of the outbuilding in accordance with the applicant’s proposal to number stones, dismantle, and rebuild the building. • November 19, 2018 Commission meeting, Item B.3, application to construct two new houses and move the outbuilding again. The case was postponed to December 17, 2018. • December 17, 2018 Commission meeting, Item B.3, application for new construction without a second relocation of the outbuilding. This request was approved. UPDATE Since the May Historic Landmark Commission meeting, staff took photographs of the Stanley Homestead Outbuilding; pulled photographs from the historic zoning file; examined prior code compliance reports, which include dated photographs; and consulted other online sources. Comparison of the photographs shows the following: • While the stonework bears a similar rusticated surface and coursed ashlar pattern, the exact sizes and placement of the stones before and after relocation of the outbuilding does not match. • There are two clear departures in the overall design. The gable on the main (south) elevation now has a wood beam rather than smooth stonework, and stonework extends higher to fill in what was an open loft. On the west side, a window has been added. • Between the relocation in 2017 and a code compliance inspection in 2018, an enclosure was built on the front of the building. An addition on the east side does not appear in available dated photographs. Historic Preservation Office staff …

The roof and some windows have been replaced and the roof pitch potentially altered; the existing standing-seam metal roof was installed after the period of significance. A ca. 1967 secondary unit is immediately adjacent the original and connected by a walkway; this site change may have altered the original building’s relationship to the topography as designed by Roessner.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS JUNE 28, 2021 C14H-2010-0009; HR-2021-041008 VOSS HOUSE 1501 NORTHWOOD ROAD B.3 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a rear and second-level addition. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish detached garage. 2) Construct a rear addition. The addition extends the back corner of the house by 5’-1” to the south and 8’-5 ½” to the west. Another building, 16’-5” by 25’-2”, is connected by an open porch in a dog-trot configuration. The additions have cross-gabled, standing-seam metal roofs and are clad in horizontal wood siding. Windows are 1:1 light and are of similar size and proportions to the windows on the house. Windows and doors opening onto the porch are steel-framed. 3) Construct a second-story addition to the house. The addition consists of a shed-roofed dormer on the west roof slope and a side-gabled volume near the back of the house, set back from the Harris Blvd. (east) side. These elements also have standing-seam metal roofing and horizontal wood siding. Windows are 1:1 light, arranged singly or in groupings, and are of similar or smaller size but the same proportions as the windows on the house. ARCHITECTURE The Voss House faces Northwood Road; however, the following description from the landmark nomination considers the Harris Blvd. side as the primary elevation. The house is a one-story, rectangular-plan, side-gabled frame bungalow with a partial-width front-gabled independent porch on battered posts and stone piers with a brick cap and a vertical baluster railing. Fenestration consists of 1:1 wood-frame, wood-sash units in single and multiple configurations; the entry is flanked with sidelights. A battered stone chimney pierces the north side gable of the house. The garage is not mentioned in the landmark nomination. It has a low-pitched pyramidal roof and is clad in board-and- batten siding. The garage is located to the southwest of the house at the rear corner of the property, with a modern overhead garage door facing Harris Blvd. While the 1961 Sanborn Fire Insurance map shows a garage at the same location, it has a different footprint. Building permits show the garage was remodeled in 2000, though the description indicates installation of a concrete slab and interior remodel only. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW Repair and alterations Residential additions 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. …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS JUNE 28, 2021 2021-058680 PR HYDE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 4006 1/2 AVENUE B B.3– 1 Construct a two-story rear addition to a one-story contributing building. Replace existing windows and doors. PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS ARCHITECTURE STANDARDS FOR REVIEW 1) Partially demolish rear of residence. 2) Construct a two-story addition. The proposed addition is set back approximately 15’ from the front wall of the house. It has a compound gabled roof and horizontal wood siding. Single and paired 1:1 wood windows are regularly spaced throughout. 3) Replace existing non-original windows with 1:1s. Replace non-original door. The existing building is a one-story Craftsman bungalow with horizontal wood siding, 4:6 paired and single windows, a partial-width porch supported by tapered columns, and a gabled roof with exposed rafter tails and triangular knee braces at eaves. The Hyde Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1.2 Respect the historic style of existing structures and retain their historic features, including character-defining elements and building scale. 1.3 Respect each contributing structure as an example of the architecture of its time. Do not make alterations that have no historic basis, such as the addition of gingerbread trim to a 1920s bungalow. Do not give an existing contributing structure a “historic” appearance it never had. 1.4 Repair deteriorated historic features and architectural elements. The proposed addition retains some aspects of the building’s historic style but changes its scale. It is differentiated in scale and detailing, as the design has been amended per Architectural Review Committee feedback to remove inappropriate decorative details and add a horizontal trim between old and new construction. The proposed cladding will match the existing building’s horizontal siding. 3.1 Retain the historic facade of a house in terms of door and window placement and exterior wall materials. Repair damaged or deteriorated exterior wall materials where reasonably possible. If replacement of exterior wall materials is necessary, choose a material identical in size, profile, and appearance as the historic material. 3.2 Do not enlarge, alter, or relocate single doorways on the façade of the house. Retain and repair an original entry door. In cases where replacement of an original entry door is required, or where the house does not have the original door, choose a replacement door that is compatible in terms of design and appearance …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS JUNE 28, 2021 C14H-2009-0020; HR-2021-084049 DR. RALPH AND ANNA CLOUD HOUSE 1718 SUMMIT VIEW B.7 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish and replace existing rear building; construct detached carport; and limited addition or replacement of windows and doors. 1) Demolish existing guest house addition and construct a new addition. The addition consists of a two-story, side-gabled guest house across the rear of the property, linked to the main house through a flat-roofed hyphen and an entryway that fills in an inset corner at the rear of the house. The guest house and entryway additions are clad in vertical wood siding in a dark finish. A wood deck will extend between the historic house and guest house along its length, terminating on the Hartford Rd. (west) end in raised planters and steps to the yard. 2) Construct a detached carport east of and 2’ behind the front corner of the house, at the end of the existing driveway. The carport will have steel supports and a flat roof that aligns with the beam at the top of the adjacent enclosed porch. 3) Selectively replace and reconfigure window and door openings. On the east elevation, at a previously enclosed porch, paired doors and two windows will be replaced with a single door and window. Also on the east elevation, paired doors will be replaced with a single window, and paired windows replaced with paired doors. Two new windows and a door will be added on the rear wall. On the west elevation, two windows will be added to an existing pair of mulled windows. 4) Install landscape improvements, including in-place replacement of the driveway, walkways, and swimming pool, and installation of a gate in the side fence. The driveway will be brick and will be within the same general footprint as the existing. The front walkway will consist of concrete pavers within a gravel band, leading to a brick walkway with steps, and a walkway from Hartford Rd. to the side entrance will be concrete pavers. A walkway from the back of the carport to the addition will be gravel. Work also entails removal of other site pathways, landscape edging, and fencing that divides the side yard.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS JUNE 28, 2021 HR-2021-084547 ROGERS WASHINGTON HOLY CROSS HISTORIC DISTRICT 2401 GIVENS AVENUE B.9 – 1 PROPOSAL Replace windows at front and rear of contributing house. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Replace 2 aluminum slider windows at front elevation. Proposed replacements are aluminum-clad vinyl-wood composite material with screens to match existing. 2) Replace 1 aluminum window at rear elevation. Proposed replacement is aluminum-clad vinyl-wood composite material with screen to match existing. ARCHITECTURE STANDARDS FOR REVIEW One-story Transitional Ranch house clad in brick with side-gabled roof, built-in planters, sliding and clerestory windows, and deep overhangs at eaves. The Rogers Washington Holy Cross Historic District Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 4.5.1 Do not enlarge, move, or enclose historic window openings on protected facades. Do not create new window openings on protected façades. It may be appropriate to restore original window openings that have been enclosed. 4.5.2 Repair historic windows, surrounds, and elements rather than replacing them. If replacement is necessary due to severe deterioration or damage, or to meet a whole-house energy standard along with other energy-efficiency measures, the replacement shall match the historic window size, profile, appearance, window pane number and configuration, and other design characteristics. The relationship between the replacement windows, the window surrounds, and the screens (if present) shall match the original. 4.5.3 Do not install vinyl-clad wood windows or vinyl-sash windows. 4.5.4 Muntins, the strip of wood or metal separating and holding panes of glass in a window, must match the profile of the original window with either true divided lights or dimensional muntins placed on the outside of the glass. 4.5.5 Replacement glazing shall be clear. The application of clear ultraviolet (UV) film to window glazing is the least costly option for reducing heat gain from sunlight and may be an acceptable addition to window glass. The proposed project does not move, enlarge, or otherwise alter window openings. The replacements at the building’s protected façade match the original existing windows in profile, size, appearance, and configuration. The replacement at the rear matches the existing window. Proposed replacement windows are aluminum-clad composite with stainless steel tracks; only vinyl and vinyl-clad wood is prohibited by the standards. All windows are operable, and all proposed new glazing is clear. The project meets the applicable standards. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JUNE 28, 2021 GF-2021-060230 CLARKSVILLE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1805 WATERSTON AVENUE C.1 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1952 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story side-gabled house with partial-width gabled porch, 2:2:2 picture window, board-and-batten siding, and attached carport. The house at 1805 Waterston Avenue was built around 1952 for Kelly Louis and Johnnie Mary Jackson Meador. Kelly Meador taught vocational studies at the Texas State Blind, Deaf, and Orphan School (later the Texas State School for the Deaf). A pastor’s son, Meador was an active member of the Metropolitan AME congregation. The Meadors were both Tillotson College alumni and contributed to the United Negro College Fund as fundraising committee members. They also operated the Economy Radio and TV Service, a repair shop, around 1959. STAFF COMMENTS The building contributes to the Clarksville National Register Historic District according to a 2018 historic resource survey. 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). 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 is associated with Texas School for the Deaf teacher Kelly Louis Meador. 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 group. e. Landscape feature. The property is not a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, aesthetic, cultural, or historical value to the city. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Encourage rehabilitation and adaptive reuse, then relocation, but release the demolition permit upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package. New construction at this address must be reviewed by the Historic Landmark Commission prior to demolition permit release.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JUNE 28, 2021 HR-2021-083636 WILLOW-SPENCE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 902 SPENCE STREET C.10 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a two-story rear addition to a one-story frame house. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS AND DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS The existing house is a one-story, rectangular-plan, pyramidal-roofed-roof frame house with a partial-width inset porch. The applicant proposes to construct a two-story, pyramidal-roof rear addition with a combination of vertical metal panels and horizontal wood siding and a composition shingle roof. The addition will have an inset balcony on the back of the structure; it will be supported on steel posts. The Willow-Spence National Register Historic District does not have specific design guidelines for new additions to contributing buildings, but the City has developed a uniform set of design guidelines for projects such as this: RA1.1 Locate additions to the rear and sides of historic buildings to minimize visual impact. The project complies. RA1.3 If an addition adds a story to the historic building, set it back from the front wall to minimize visual impact. The project complies. RA1.5: Minimize the loss of historic fabric by connecting additions to the existing building through the least possible invasive location and means. Staff recommends consideration of this standard to minimize the loss of historic fabric. RA2.1 Design an addition to complement the scale and massing of the building, including height. The addition must appear subordinate to the historic building. The proposed addition is two stories on a one-story house but complements the scale and massing of the existing house. RA2.2 Minimize the appearance of the addition from the street faced by the historic building’s front wall. The project complies. RA3.1 Design additions to be compatible with and differentiated from the historic building, if they are visible from the street. Design proportions and patterns such as window-to-wall area ratios, floor-to-floor heights, fenestration patterns, and bay divisions to increase compatibility. The proposed addition uses the form of the existing house as a guide but then uses a blank front wall which is out of character with the contributing buildings n the neighborhood and district. RA3.2 No particular architectural style is required for addition design. Designs in both traditional and contemporary styles can successfully achieve compatibility and differentiation with historic buildings. The proposed addition is compatible in its style with the existing building, but the use of vertical metal panels is at odds with the …
