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 …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JUNE 28, 2021 HR-2021-082850 WEST LINE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1415 W. 10TH STREET C.11 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish ca. 1939 noncontributing secondary apartment. Construct new building, detached cabana, and garage. 1) Demolish existing noncontributing building. 2) Construct a new primary building. The proposed new construction is two and one-half stories in height. It is set back approximately 134’ from W. 10th Street, atop the relative location of the existing garage apartment building. It is clad in a Dekton-brand prefabricated masonry composite paneling system, with glass handrails, painted-steel accents, a curved secondary façade, and single-pane fixed windows with irregular placement and dimensions at all elevations. The compound roofline features multiple materials and pitches, including shallow hipped metal, flat, and flat with “green” roofing. 3) Construct a two-story garage. The garage is attached to the main building by an enclosed glass walkway at the second floor and is set back approximately 100’ from W. 10th Street. It is clad in prefabricated masonry composite panels and sited in front of the main residence. 4) Construct a one-story cabana at the rear of the lot. It is clad in prefabricated masonry composite panels and sited behind the main residence. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW 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 Historic Districts The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1.1 Set back a new primary building from the street in line with nearby historic buildings. An appropriate setback may be calculated with the following: a. The setback of one adjacent contributing historic building; or b. The median of contributing historic buildings on the same block. This method must be used if contributing buildings on the block have a variety of setbacks. 1.2 Locate a new building to maintain the rhythm of contributing buildings on the street. 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. The proposed main building is sited at the rough location of the existing noncontributing building, set back approximately 134’ from W. 10th Street. …

Ed Richardson Contreras, Kalan Allen, Amber 1415 W 10th St | OWANA and Neighborhood Meeting Dates Summary Monday, June 21, 2021 12:49:02 PM From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: H Folks, Below is a summary of our outreach to both OWANA’s Zoning Committee and through that process to the adjacent neighbors to the project. We will also meet with them (OWANA) Thursday the 24th to give them an update. For context, our client’s father became sick after the second round of meetings (and eventually passed away early 2021) so the project was somewhat delayed as a result – hence the gap between the fall meetings and permitting in 2021. We will send the updated presentation on Thursday for distribution to HLC members. -9.24.2020: OWANA Zoning Committee Meeting: Ed Richardson | CRA presents existing site conditions and proposed design to OWANA Zoning Committee. - 10.13.2020: Meeting with Adjacent Neighbors: Ed Richardson | CRA meets all directly adjacent neighbors at 1415 W 10th to review proposed design. Topics included: - Reviewed Existing and Proposed Drainage on site with east neighbor. - Reviewed Height and Location of proposed structures. Reviewed what each neighbor with views into the lot could expect to see from their homes. - Discussed Fence Heights and Location. We will revisit the Fence and Fence Heights when project is closer to construction. We are open to a lower fence along 10thstreet. - Reviewed Second Floor Window Alignments: between the proposed structure and the existing home to the east. Clark Richardson field surveyed the window locations and mapped them on the survey and reviewed with property owner. There are no direct window alignments. - 10.22.2020: OWANA Zoning Committee Meeting II: Ed Richardson | CRA presented our responses to the comments / concerns from the previous meeting Shoring: The noise and disruption from potential shoring for the construction of the basement was a primary concern for neighbors. CRA recommends no driven piles be used for shoring and instead drilled piers be used in any temporary shoring required. The structural work for the shoring will be part of the means and methods for construction of the basement by the contractor and therefore while it will be engineered. The precise drawings will not be included in the architectural drawings. Street Façade: We’re proposing a specimen tree be added in front of the street façade complimenting the window located towards the west side of the façade …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JUNE 28, 2021 SB-2021-071307, 2021-071325 CONGRESS AVENUE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 111 CONGRESS AVENUE C.9 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Install two freestanding gateway signs adjacent to a non-historic building and plaza. The gateway signs for Fareground Eat + Drink will be located at the steps down to the sunken plaza of 111 Congress Ave. Sign A is near the corner of Congress Ave. and E. Cesar Chavez St. Sign B is along a diagonal sidewalk from the corner of Congress Ave. and E. 2nd St. Both signs will be 15’-3 7/8” tall. Their widths are based on the width of the stairs at each location. Sign A is 19’-4 ¾” wide, while Sign B is 26’-6 ¾” wide. The signs consist of reverse-lit channel letters mounted to 3” horizontal gold bars, which in turn are mounted to 8” black square posts. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The City of Austin’s Historic Sign Standards 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: Number of signs. The Commission allows one sign per building, unless the building has multiple tenants; in this case, the Commission may allow one sign per façade module if the façade modules correspond to tenant spaces. The Commission may also allow one sign for each street frontage if the building is at an intersection. Sign types. The Commission may allow window signs, awning signs, projecting signs, and flush mounted signs for most commercial buildings. Freestanding signs are allowed for office and retail uses in historic residential buildings. Constructed in 1987, 111 Congress is a Late-Modernist office tower sited diagonally across the middle of the block to create a sunken plaza at the corner of Congress Ave. and Cesar Chavez St. The sign standards do not address this type of building or site, as public plazas in the Sixth Street and Congress Avenue historic districts are uncommon and are not historic in age. Further, the sign standards primarily address historic commercial buildings of a much more limited size and are not directly applicable to a building that occupies a full city block. The proposed gateway signs will be in addition to existing signage. This includes building-mounted signs for Wells Fargo Bank, primary building signage with a tenant directory along the sidewalk …

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Construct a new house. The proposed design is two stories in height. It features a cross-gabled roof with three shed- roofed dormers and regularly spaced 4- and 6-pane divided-light windows at the main façade. The building’s primary mass is clad in limestone veneer with a slurry wash. A partial-width, flat-roofed porch is supported by wood columns. The proposed chimney is stuccoed, and the roof is clad in dimensional shingles. Secondary elevations feature combinations of stucco and stone cladding and built-in wood planters. 2) Construct an accessory building. The proposed building is one-story, with a gabled roof and limestone cladding. It features sliding glazed doors, a stucco chimney, and exposed rafter tails at secondary elevations.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JUNE 28, 2021 HR-2021-084436 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1512 GASTON AVENUE C.8 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a new two-story building and one-story garage. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Construct a two-story residence. The proposed building is set back approximately 40’ from the street. It is clad in brick, with a compound hipped roof clad in shingles, three stucco chimneys, and a covered entryway. Fenestration includes 4:4 aluminum-clad wood windows of different dimensions at the main elevation and a paneled door flanked by decorative wood paneling beneath a shallow portico. 2) Construct a rear one-story garage, attached to the main building by a breezeway. The proposed garage features a hipped shingled roof, fixed aluminum-clad wood windows, and cladding to match the primary building. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW 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 Historic Districts The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1.1 Set back a new primary building from the street in line with nearby historic buildings. 1.2 Locate a new building to maintain the rhythm of contributing buildings on the street. 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. The proposed building is set back approximately 40’, in line with contributing buildings on the block and consistent with the rhythm of the streetscape. The proposed garage is located at the rear of the lot and will be minimally visible from the street. 2.1 Orient a new building to be consistent with the predominant orientation of contributing buildings on the same block. 2.2 Orient a new building towards the primary street. 2.3 For detached garages, match the predominant garage orientation found on the block’s contributing properties.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER DISTRICTS JUNE 28, 2021 HR-2021-082905; PR-2021-070768 WILSHIRE NATIONAL REGISTER DISTRICT 4200 LULLWOOD ROAD C.9 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Partially demolish ca. 1948 contributing house; construct a two-story rear addition; and replace steel casement windows with fiberglass windows. 1) Demolition of rear garage and bedroom additions. 2) Construction of a new two-story addition within a similar footprint as the existing additions. The complex roof of the addition, with a central hip and gabled and hipped extensions, will largely appear side gabled as viewed from the front and will have composition shingles to match the house. The addition will be clad in fiber cement siding, with multi- light fixed and casement windows to match the proportions, size, and design of the replacement windows for the house. 3) Replacement of original steel casement windows with fixed or casement fiberglass windows. The specified windows are Andersen 100 series in dark bronze with full divided lights. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH This side-gabled Ranch-style house sits within an expansive yard with mature oak trees, as is characteristic of the Wilshire National Register District. The front entrance is slightly recessed, next to a projecting front-facing gable. The house is clad in random ashlar limestone, with horizontal siding in the gable ends and on rear additions. Windows are single or groupings of up to four steel casement windows. The house at 4200 Lullwood Road was constructed around 1948 and owned by Hilton E. and Eleanor Nau through at least 1959. The Naus are known for founding Nau’s Enfield Drug Store, which remains in operation at W. 12th and West Lynn streets in the West Line National Register District. Historically, multiple drug stores bore the Nau name, most owned by Hilton’s older brother Ladner. Ladner Nau came to Austin in 1926 to go to pharmacy school at the University of Texas. After working at a drug store for a couple of years, he and the proprietor of that store opened the Community Drug Store at 1201 E. 1st (Cesar Chavez) and Waller streets. Shortly thereafter, he bought the business outright. In 1935, Ladner established Nau’s San Jacinto Drug Store at 1819–21 San Jacinto St. This location remained in operation for nearly 30 years. Nau’s Drug Store No. 2 at 913 E. 1st St. operated under the management of Maynard Anderson from at least 1949 through 1959. In 1964, Ladner Nau closed the San …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS JUNE 28, 2021 PR-2021-084005 3009 BOWMAN AVENUE D.10 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Demolish a ca. 1941 house, a ca. 2018 addition, and pool. One-story Colonial Revival-styled wood frame house with a front-gabled entry and a partial-width independent porch on round columns; single and paired fenestration. The original house has a large, two-story, front-gabled frame addition to the south, which replaced a what appears to be an original detached garage, and then a later detached garage. The original house retains its articulation despite the additions to the south. The house appears to have been built around 1941 for John Barclay, the pastor of the Central Christian Church in downtown Austin. There is a water service permit to Burt Dyke, who owned the large estate at what was the end of Bowman Avenue, and whose home is now known as the Tarry House; there does not appear to be a building permit for this house; but the water service permit does reference this address. John and Mattie Barclay were married in 1941, and he began his pastorship at Central Christian that year. Barclay was an influential leader in Austin’s religious community, organizing the Austin Council of Churches. He presided at Central Christian over its period of greatest growth, and offered the Protestant prayer at the inauguration of President John F. Kennedy in 1961. While serving as U.S. Senator, Lyndon B. Johnson was a member of this church. STAFF COMMENTS Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The original building is more than 50 years old. 2) The original building is still discernible, but has a large non-historic addition. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined it may meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The house is a good example of Colonial Revival architecture, and reflects a variant of Colonial Revival that was more common in the Carolinas; John Barclay, the first owner of this house, was from North Carolina. While Barclay would definitely recognize the original part of the house, the new addition to the south dwarfs it so there is a question of integrity here that the Commission needs to decide as to whether the house meets the architectural significance criterion at this point. b. Historical association. The house is associated with John Barclay, who lived here from 1941 until his retirement. Barclay was the pastor …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS JUNE 28, 2021 PR-2021-064110 2305 RIO GRANDE STREET D.2 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1921 house. ARCHITECTURE One-and a half story 1920s Craftsman cottage with Colonial Revival influences; the house has a side-gabled composition with an elevated roofline at the rear to accommodate a second story under the main roofline; it is unclear whether this is original architecture or a later addition, but appears to be of historic age. The façade consists of a twin set of front-facing gablets, each containing a double set of windows. The principal entry in centered in the façade with a single window on each side of the door and a projecting portico on round columns and with a round-arched eyebrow roofline at the center. RESEARCH STAFF COMMENTS This house was the home of Fred and Nellie Kingdon, who lived here from 1921 until their deaths. Fred Kingdon was a native of Illinois who worked as a car salesman for Covert Auto Company after managing Isaac Bledsoe’s piano and organ store. His 1967 death certificate showed him to be the manager of a music company, so perhaps he went back into the music business in his later years, but city directories show him as a car salesman for the majority of his career. His first wife, Nell, died in 1940, and Fred married again; his second wife Delsie was an administrative secretary for the University of Texas. 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 it does not meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The house is a relatively common type of 1920s residential housing that is found in many neighborhoods near the UT campus and in the North University neighborhood. This house does not represent an outstanding example of this style. However, ironically, it is adjacent to the historic landmark Robert L. Moore house, which was moved to the neighborhood for its preservation, partly because of the context of the neighborhood (which has since continued to be degraded with new student housing developments). b. Historical association. The house does not have any significant historical associations; it was owned and occupied by a music store manager who then became a car salesman for most of the historic period. …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS JUNE 28, 2021 PR-2021-066307 1611 CANTERBURY STREET D.3 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1904 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story, wing-and-gable plan, frame house with a partial-width independent porch on ornamental metal posts; front door with a transom; single 1:1 fenestration; synthetic siding. The house appears to have been built around 1904 for Nathaniel Hessey, a pioneer merchant and jeweler in Austin. Hessey worked for John A. Jackson, a jeweler and silversmith at the time he first appears in city directories at this address. From 1904 until his death in 1908, he is listed as a pawnbroker and jeweler. His wife, Tennie, then continued to reside in this house, but also is listed at 2309 San Antonio Street, a house where she also took in boarders. Tennie Hessey resided here sporadically, more constantly in her later years; she died in 1949. Tennie Hessey’s daughter, Helen Duval, is also listed at this address in her mother’s later years. She was married to Easton Duval, a design engineer for the highway department. In the late 1950s, the family sold the house to Frank and Pauline Casarez, who lived here at least through the early 1990s. Frank Casarez was an optician for Dickinson Optical for many years.
