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.

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 …

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."

The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location The proposed building appears to be appropriately set back from the street. 2. Orientation The proposed building and parking area appear to have consistent orientation with other buildings on the street. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed building’s scale and height is not appropriate for the district. The massing is not compatible with surrounding contributing buildings. 4. Proportions The proposed building’s proportions are not consistent with surrounding contributing buildings. 5. Design and style The building’s design and style appear appropriately differentiated from historic-age buildings, though it does not appear compatible with the street. 6. Roofs The building’s gabled roof form is somewhat compatible. 7. Exterior walls The building’s exterior masonry cladding is somewhat compatible. The vertical siding at the second floor may make the building appear more vertically oriented than it is, increasing the risk of potentially overwhelming its neighbors. 8. Windows and doors The proposed building’s undivided and irregular windows and full-pane front entry are not compatible with surrounding contributing buildings. 9. Porches The recessed partial-width porch is not a style that appears on contributing buildings in the district, and its cantilevered second floor may make the building appear top-heavy. The balcony located on the street-facing East elevation is not compatible with surrounding contributing buildings. Summary The project meets few applicable standards.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JUNE 1, 2022 HR-2022--059926 OLD WEST AUSTIN 3104 HARRIS BOULEVARD C.9 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish a contributing ca. 1940 building and construct a new building in its place. 1) Demolish existing house. 2) Construct a new building. The proposed building is two stories in height, set back approximately 25’ from the street. It has a side-gabled roof and features a partial-width front porch and street-facing carport. Its central gable with offset eaves shelters an arched entryway. Windows at the second-floor primary elevation are 8-light casements. Secondary elevations contain shed-roofed dormers and fixed clerestory windows. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS One-story cross-gabled Tudor Revival house with an arched entryway beneath a single gable, rustic stone cladding, a dramatic front staircase, and 4:4 wood windows. The house at 3104 Harris Boulevard was built in 1940 by Jack Birge. Its first occupants were Martin and Ella Westling, who worked as a salesman and a clerk, and their daughter, Ella. By 1942, the house had passed to Pete Laird, who had recently purchased the W. H. Richardson hardware store. By 1947, the house was owned by the pastor of University Presbyterian Church, Reverend Moffett, and his family. Later owners included the veterans’ representative to the Texas Employment Commission and the secretary to the Texas Industrial Union Council. 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 building is set back approximately 25’ from the street. 2. Orientation The proposed building is oriented toward the primary streetscape. 3. Scale, massing, and height While the proposed new building is taller than the existing historic building, its stepped-down massing at the front elevation mitigates its effect on the streetscape. 4.

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: GREG UNDERWOOD Monday, May 23, 2022 5:42 PM HPD Preservation Stuart Sampley; 3104 Harris Blvd *** External Email ‐ Exercise Caution *** The Historic Review Committee of the Bryker Woods Neighborhood Association votes to not oppose the demolition of 3104 Harris Blvd but requests the applicant and owner give strong consideration to this committees recommendations which follow this email. Sincerely. Greg Underwood‐HRC member BWNA president (Email to the applicant) Stuart, The plans look good. The overall design is simple and symmetrical, a design discipline encouraged in Bryker Woods. We’re pleased to see the direct inspiration from the old house to the front entryway. The arch and steeple are a fine acknowledgement of the original house. We have (2) suggestions the entire committee is in agreement with. 1.) We request real wood windowpane windows be used in the project. Metal or aluminum windows aren’t in keeping with the Bryker Woods style. 2.) The committee requests as much of the old house’s design elements and fixtures be used in the new house. For example, the old house’s front porch lantern would work well with the new entry. The old houses’s front porch ironwork would be an inspired addition to the new front entryway We’ve found neighbors who redeploy the original homes’ fixtures like door knobs, door hardware & outdoor iron work create a house with more character & personality. The old house has some wonderful vintage touches, both outside and inside please use them if possible. Let me know if you have any comments or questions.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS JUNE 1, 2022 PR- 2002-032448 2002 SCENIC DR. D.1 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE Total demolition of ca. 1923 residence and accessory structures. The primary building at 2002 Scenic Drive, known historically as River Street or River Avenue, is a two-story Spanish eclectic residence with Modern and eclectic additions constructed during the historic period. It is clad in stucco and masonry and capped with a compound-hipped roof with deep eaves. Fenestration includes multi-light wood casement windows irregularly placed throughout. A cylindrical turret with a crenellated parapet and arched windows flanks an open masonry porch that leads to an expansive designed landscape. The secondary building is an eclectic Gothic Revival cottage. It is two stories in height with an arched palisade, cedar-shake roof, and masonry cladding. A two-story turret with faux chequerwork trim dominates the principal elevation. Each round arch includes a limestone keystone carved by famed local stoneworker Peter Mansbendel. A renovation was designed circa 1946-47 for C.H. and Mildred Slator by prominent Austin architects Fehr & Granger. Officially established in 1946, Fehr & Granger was one of the first and possibly most influential mid-century modern architectural firms in Austin. The firm flourished and includes an extensive body of work consisting of both residential and commercial projects. They received multiple awards for their work in the magazine Progressive Architecture. Their Robert Mueller Airport received a Design Award in 1959 and another in 1961. RESEARCH The house at 2002 Scenic Drive, called River Street or River Avenue before 1940, was constructed around 1923 by Raymond Maurice Delisle. Delisle, the son of a Houston architect, built 16 other houses in the River Street area while also working as an optician in Austin. He owned and operated the Austin Optical Company from the early 1920s until his retirement around 1940. He was one of the 1927 incorporators of the Urnite Manufacturing Company. Urnite, a synthetic stone material, appears to have been used in several landscape features around the property. Later occupants include William Foster and then Mr. and Mrs. K.D. Shoudy. After the Shoudys lost a young son while living at the property in 1945, they sold the house to C.H. and Mildred Slator. It stayed in the Slator family until 2021, according to TCAD records. C.H. Slator, son of a prominent Llano rancher, was a local attorney and co-owner of the Tavern (ca. 1953). PROPERTY EVALUATION …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS JUNE 1, 2022 GF-2022-050222 1100 EAST 5TH STREET D.2 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE Demolish a compound Quonset hut warehouse erected on or moved to the lot ca. 1948. 1100 East 5th Street is an example of a rare multiple Quonset hut composed of five connected barrel-arch units, all of corrugated steel paneling. Roll-up metal bay doors provide access at the vault ends. A corrugated metal hood protects the western entrance, while the eastern portion of the site has been redeveloped into outdoor event space. Quonset huts are generally accepted as a historically significant building typology within preservation industry standards. An example context statement from The City of Los Angeles describes Quonsets “as an important World War II-era building type and method of construction, notable for its simple construction, distinctive shape, and use of prefabricated materials, and flexible interior plan. Intact examples represent the design and development of a low-cost and highly-versatile structure by the U.S. Navy for military use during World War II, and its adaptive reuse for housing and other uses during the postwar years.”1 In a 2003 historic thematic resource survey for the City of Fort Collins, Colorado, principal historian Adam Thomas notes that “[The Quonset hut] is one of the most unique American building forms ever created.” 2 “[It] was an engineering marvel,” asserts John Vara in the Journal of Light Construction. “It could be shipped anywhere and…assembled by a 10- man crew in one day, using only hand tools. Throughout World War II, the Quonset became the standard military utility building of all regions and climates…At the end of the war, […] Quonsets were everywhere, from homes to churches and auto dealerships […] Quonsets are now a rarity.”3 In 2015, Preservation Austin honored 1100 East 5th Street with a Merit Award for outstanding rehabilitation and adaptive reuse by Thoughtbarn and Delineate Studio. “Austin's most iconic Quonset hut on East Fifth might well have been demolished for parking, or an apartment complex had not a development team led by Richard Kooris and Dennis McDaniel stepped in to transform it into Fair Market, hands down one of the most stunning event spaces in the city.”4 RESEARCH The warehouse at 1100 East 5th Street was constructed in 1948-1949 by Ben H. Powell, Jr. Powell purchased the land from the nearby railway, which had previously used the lot for storage,5 and rented it …

5.26.22 NOTES REGARDING DEMOLITION OF QUONSET HUT LOCATED AT 1100 E. 5TH STREET The applicants are proposing to demolish the 16,000 square foot Quonset Hut at 1100 East Fifth Street and move or demolish the small frame house to the east of the Quonset Hut. The intent of the demolition request is to allow the construction of a new multi-story building on the site. There are several reasons that the HLC should approve this demolition request: 1. Quonset hut buildings are not designed to be permanent structures, unlike frame or masonry buildings. The Quonset design was introduced at the time of the Second World War as a lightweight structure that could be easily transported and erected quickly by a small crew to provide shelter from the elements and storage in war zones. Quonset huts continued to be used after the war as a low-cost building type, but they were never intended to be permanent structures, due to the lightweight materials used in their construction and the difficulty of waterproofing and thermally insulating the buildings for contemporary use and to meet current code standards. 2. This Quonset Hut has no insulation, and it is impossible to insulate it to current energy code standards without completely covering the forms of the building. Because we wanted to explore all options to preserve the building through adaptive re-use, in 2017 we commissioned an architecture firm to do a feasibility study to explore strategies that would enable us to thermally insulate the Quonset Hut to the extent that would permit us to condition the interior. The results of that study confirmed that the lightweight structure of the current building would not support the weight of insulation and an air distribution system. To properly insulate the building, we would have had to cover the entire interior of the space with a thick blanket of insulation and add also insulation to the exterior, severely compromising the Quonset Hut form to the point that the distinctive structure and form of the building would be invisible. We elected not to proceed with this option for these reasons and for reasons of cost. 3. When we proposed the new building for the site, we considered dis-assembling and moving the Quonset Hut to another location. This proved to be unfeasible for the following reasons: {W1151819.1} 1 a. We could not find a suitable and affordable vacant site in our market area, …

ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story styled Ranch house with symmetrical plan, Classical Revival-style columned porch, and pediments above 6:6 aluminum windows at the main façade. The house at 707 W. Slaughter Lane was built in 1971 for real estate developer Don West, best known for his purchase and restoration of a significant portion of Gruene, Texas.

May 31, 2022 Terri Myers, Chair City of Austin Historic Landmark Commission Dear Ms. Myers, Re: 310, 312, 314-318 Colorado Street and 201, 209, 211, and 213 4th Street Preservation Austin exists to empower Austinites to shape a more inclusive, resilient, and meaningful community culture through preservation. We write to you today to address the alarming losses that our LGBTQIA community may face with the proposed demolitions of 310, 312, 314-318 Colorado Street and 201, 209, 211, and 213 4th Street. We ask the Historic Landmark Commission to reject the proposed demolitions and support historic zoning for these significant properties in the areas of Community Value and Architecture. These cases aligns with Preservation Austin’s Underrepresented Heritage Advocacy Priority for their associations with Austin’s LGQBTIA community. Since adopting this priority, Preservation Austin’s Advocacy Committee and our Fowler Family Underrepresented Heritage Interns have done extensive research into Austin’s LGBTQIA heritage and the sites associated with it, many of which are no longer extant. To date, no historic landmarks, markers, or designations honor Austin’s LGBTQIA heritage. This problem is not unique to Austin––scholars Camden Miller and Alex Bitterman aptly summarized this phenomenon in their essay “Commemorating Historically Significant Gay Places Across the United States”: “Gay spaces across the United States are steeped in important and ephemeral history. However, the stories of these spaces—and the people that lived the struggle to gain LGBTQ+ rights—are largely unrecorded, undocumented, and are not centrally collected or archived beyond Wikipedia entries and oral histories. Many gay places and gay neighborhoods have no formal means of recognition or historic protection such as those that are available to other classifications of landmarks from state or federal agencies. The pioneering generation that gave rise to the LGBTQ+ rights movement is aging and the time to capture the unprecedented—and largely undocumented—history of their efforts and struggle is endangered.” Preservation Austin remains committed to researching and protecting the spaces vital to our city’s LGBTQIA heritage. We believe it is important to do so because this is a story that is not often told, but one that is essential to the complete story of Austin. The Warehouse District has been home to a vibrant queer community for many decades, and within its walls and on its streets the very history of Austin’s LGBTQIA community has been written. We heard from the Hanover company as they attempted to deny and downplay the historic associations of …
May 27, 2022 City of Austin Historic Landmark Commission Commissioners, We are reaching to support the project and in opposition to historic zoning applications for the W. 4th Street item that will be on your June 1st agenda as items A6 and A7. The Hanover Group has been very intentional in their planning to not only respect the historical nature of the buildings but more over, the historical and cultural nature that 4th street is and has been for decades to the LGBT community. As a city, we can all point to countless developments that have disregarded the significance of small businesses in their path to redevelop a lot. It is harder to find examples like the Hanover Group that have not only made it a point to preserve bricks and mortar but to preserve the nexus of a community and make every effort to improve the long term viability of community centered small businesses in the area. This developer could have done like most others and simply worked with the land owners to build from the sidewalk up, mowing over every small local business in it’s path but this developer is setting anew standard of reaching beyond the expected and working with not only with the land owner but also the existing small businesses and the community. We hope to see more intentionality in future developments in the city that respects not only the physical historical aspects, but are also inclusive of the cultural aspects and housing needs of Austin. Sincerely yours, Tina Cannon President & CEO Austin LGBT Chamber of Commerce 211 WEST 5TH STREET AUSTIN, TX 78701 || 512-761-LGBT || WWW.AUSTINLGBTCHAMBER.COM
