HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS FEBRUARY 28, 2022 HR-2022-012669 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK 2108 KENWOOD AVENUE C.13 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct an accessory dwelling unit. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS DESIGN STANDARDS The proposed ADU is two stories, with an attached carport, uncovered wood deck, and roof deck. It is clad in fiber-cement siding with metal cable railings at the roof deck and stairwell. Windows are fixed, with varying proportions at each elevation. 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 ADU is located at the rear of the lot, behind the contributing house. 2. Orientation The proposed ADU’s orientation of the entrance and the carport matches the orientation of contributing buildings and outbuildings in the district. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed ADU is located behind a substantial two-story addition to the original main house, so its two-story height is not obtrusive; however, the roof deck adds an element of height that may be visible from the street. The building’s massing is simple, with a small step-down between floors at the main elevation. 4. Proportions The building’s proportions are somewhat compatible with its surroundings—though its massing is strongly vertical, design elements help to reduce its impact. 5. Design and style Though the proposed building’s overall design is somewhat incompatible with the surrounding district, its position at the rear of the lot renders its overall impact minimal. 6. Roofs The proposed flat roof and roof deck are not compatible with the main house. 7. Exterior walls The proposed fiber-cement horizontal siding is compatible with the main house. 8. Windows and doors The proposed fixed windows and fully-glazed doors are mostly incompatible, though their rhythmic placement somewhat echoes the main house’s design. 11. Attached garages and carports The proposed carport is compatible; though it is not set back from the front wall of the ADU, it is placed far back on the lot and does not affect the view of the contributing house from the street. 9. Porches See 6. Summary The project meets some of the applicable standards. PROPERTY EVALUATION The primary building contributes to the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register district. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Comment on and release the plans. C.13 – …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS FEBRUARY 28TH, 2022 PR-2022-010250; GF-2022-017172 OLD WEST AUSTIN 1510 PEASE ROAD C.15 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Demolish a ca. 1936 multifamily (duplex) residence and detached metal frame covered carport. The structure is a Tudor-style brick construction residence that was built circa 1936 as a multi-family residence (duplex). The residence has a simple side-gabled design easily visible behind two smaller asymmetrical front-facing gables with a 1- unit entrance located on the front facade with an arched door containing a small circular quarter-divided window. The second unit is accessed via a matching door located beneath the side gable on the east elevation where there is a covered porch and decorative metal railing. There is a prominent front-facing chimney with an inward swooping detail above the firebox, flanked by quarter-shaped gable vents. The windows are simple 1:1 wood single pane. Each unit has a rear-covered porch. There is also a rear-covered metal frame carport which is not of significance. This property was built as a multi-family duplex circa 1936 and therefore has a history of tenants although none appeared to live in the property for more than a couple of years. The longest tenant appears to be Donald L. and Donna Hoskins. According to City Directory records, Donald was an Architect for Southerland & Page in 1955 and 1957 when he lived at the duplex. Of historical significance are tenants Juan A. and Carolina R. Merigo-Aza. Juan Antonio Merigo-Aza was the Vice Consular officer at the Mexican Consulate and was a delegate at the Mexico City conference that led to a new International Agreement for Migratory workers in 1951. The Agreement improved living and working conditions for migratory farmers but also provided legislation for the punishment of harboring or concealing those who enter the country without documentation. 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: architectural significance. a. Architecture. The building is a good example of a Tudor-style multi-family residence and does appear to convey b. Historical association. The property does not have significant historical associations. Juan Antonio Merigo-Aza was a prominent local …

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Stef Schrader Thursday, February 24, 2022 7:55 AM PAZ Preservation Case #PR-2022-010250; GF-2022-017172 *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** To whom it may concern: I am writing against the demolition of the contributing home at 1510 Pease Road (GF 22‐017172). In my short time living a street over, I have noticed the Historic Landmark Commission approve too many demolitions of contributing structures in this area. At this rate, there be little left that defines this historic district! You can stop the bleeding now by denying some permits. Construction—especially the construction at 1601 Woodlawn and 1602 Pease—has made my life an absolute living hell. I have recorded jackhammering loud enough to violate race track sound limits on my front porch. My whole home shakes whenever they're banging on things or operating heavy machinery. Frankly, I have concerns about the build quality of the home going up next to mine as well as a number of their framing boards are ones I'd have left at Home Depot—but that's another story. Noise starts promptly at 7 AM and continues throughout my work day, which has not just interrupted my ability to work from home. Debris from the construction zone has also fallen onto my yard numerous times as well. Does that sound like life in a peaceful historic district to you? One where I can't bear to live in my own home based on the jackhammering nextdoor? Or where I'm constantly worried about nails in my tires? Furthermore, it is my understanding that 1510 Pease is a multifamily structure—the likes of which we need more of to meet Austin's housing needs. I have not seen 1510 Pease's specific plans, but demolishing it for a single‐family home would be a further slap in the face for a community that is in desperate need of enough housing to meet demand. Having lived through two such demolitions nearby already, I have also been appalled at the incredible amount of waste that gets sent to the landfill from the demolition of just one home. We have to be more mindful of the environmental impact of these teardowns as well. It is deeply irresponsible to throw that much away without a good reason, particularly from a livable structure. If the home is repairable or can be renovated, I'm fine with that—make it livable and enjoy! However, I firmly believe that this …

We received a notice of public hearing for an application for a demolition permit for 512 East Monroe St. while we were out of town January 16‐19, and I didn’t see it until Thursday the 20th. I don’t understand how the City of Austin could give less than one week notice before a public hearing for a demolition. I have made several attempts to find information about this proposed demolition at https://abc.austintexas.gov/web/permit/public‐search‐other using the case numbers listed in the notice (PR‐2021‐ 200516; GF 22‐001167), but it only returns the answer “No rows returned.” The sign announcing the public hearing was not posted on the property, as it was laying on the ground in the front yard when I went by to look on Thursday the 20th (see attached photo). This house is a good example of the architecture of the Travis Heights‐Fairview Park National Historic District. It is in very good condition and should be preserved as an important part of the neighborhood (see attached photo). I oppose the demolition of this valuable part of our historic neighborhood. Please contact me before the public hearing tomorrow night at 6:00. Thank you, Clifton Ladd 1509 Newning Avenue Please let me know if you have any information about this. ‐‐‐‐ Clif Ladd 1

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS FEBRUARY 28, 2022 HR-2021-207618 SIXTH STREET NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 320 E. 6TH STREET C.3 – 1 PROPOSAL Exterior work to the storefront and entry vestibule; new signage. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Restore paired multi-light doors at the storefront entrance on the west end of the building. The doors are designed to match a historic photograph but be of code-compliant width, resulting in four rather than five doors within the existing masonry opening. Replace the canopy above the entrance on the existing frame. 2) Install a roll-down gate at the entry vestibule. The gate will mount into the concrete columns at either side of the vestibule and will not disturb the historic canopy. 3) Remove existing non-historic signage, patch and repaint stucco wall above the entrance. Install new sign to screen the roll-down gate. The sign will be approximately 16’ wide by 2’-10” in height. Three options are presented: a. Painted aluminum sign with bulbs to match underside of canopy; b. Painted aluminum sign with flat-cut aluminum letters and indirect lighting; or c. Painted aluminum sign with double-stroke neon to match neon on the canopy perimeter. 4) Replace non-original black tile at the recessed theater entrance with new patterned tile. 5) Replace one entry door with a Dutch door to match existing. Movie theater with three-story brick façade spanning two lots. The section at 320 E. 6th St. contains the theater entrance, recessed beneath a projecting metal canopy with rounded corners, studded on the underside with lights and ringed with neon. Above is a blade sign with lighted letters and neon perimeter. To the west at 318 E. 6th is a storefront entrance flush with the façade, consisting of paired glass doors and stucco infill. At the upper levels, picture windows have replaced the historic multi-light double-hung and casement windows. Window openings are set within recessed brick bands. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Jay J. Hegman opened the Ritz Theatre in 1929 at 320 E. 6th St. and expanded the theater to its current configuration encompassing 318 E. 6th St. in 1937. Architect Hugo Kuehne designed the 1937 theater. It was the first in Austin planned specifically for talking pictures. The theater originally served only white customers; later, it became the first integrated theater in Austin, though Black patrons were restricted to the balcony.1 It continued in operation as a movie theater until 1964, after …
C.3.1 - 320 E 6th St - Plans — original pdf
320 EAST 6TH ST- THE RITZ The Ritz was built in 1929 by J.J. Hegman, who owned several movie theaters in Austin, Texas. It was the first theater in Austin to be built specifically for the talkies. The architect was Hugo Kuehne, the founding dean of the University of Texas School of Architecture, who also designed the Austin History Center (originally the Austin Public Library). The Ritz was originally a long narrow space, and was segregated like most movie theaters in Texas and other southern states at that time; there was a separate entrance leading to a balcony reserved for people of color.[1] The theater opened on 6th Street on October 13, 1929. It showed primarily first-run westerns with a lower ticket price than any other theater in town and frequently brought in stars like Wild Bill Elliott and Dub Taylor, along with country music acts who performed before the movies.[2] In 1937, Hegman's son Elmo took over management and expanded the theater to 800 seats by widening the theater by 25 feet. He continued showing Westerns until television siphoned off the audience; Elmo closed the theater in 1964.[1] Cary White, the production designer for The Faculty and Spy Kids, amongst other movies, was the projectionist and janitor at the Ritz during some of its last days as a movie house.[3] The theater remained shuttered until 1970, when it re-opened for three years as an adult theater. In October 1974, entrepreneurs Jim Franklin (artist) and Bill Livinggood renovated the theater and opened the doors as a music venue, offering an eclectic mix of programming from classical to rock and including live theater and movies. This was also short-lived, and the club closed in 1975.[4] Several other groups moved in over the years. The Center Stage theater group took it over in 1977, closing off the balcony to make a second, separate theater. Again, the venue didn't last long and the late 1970s saw a serious decline in the theater's fortunes, including another stint into porn exhibition.[5] In 1981, Shannon Sedwick and Michael Shelton took out a lease and turned management over to Craig Underwood, who began running the venue as a punk rock club. Shows such as Black Flag, which inaugurated the punk era on May 7, 1982, The Misfits, Hüsker Dü, The Circle Jerks, The Dead Kennedys, Minor Threat and others showed that there was an audience for hardcore …

C.4 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Replace existing wood windows and wood siding on the front and left side of the house on contributing residence built circa 1936 in the Travis Heights Fairview Park National Register District. 1) Replace existing wood windows, and wood siding on the front and left side of contributing residence built circa 1936 in the Travis Heights Fairview Park National Register District. 2) Windows: Design proposal includes replacing original wood windows with Andersen 100 Series fiberglass windows: single-hung, equal sash, no flange, with a white exterior frame, white sash/panel, and white interior frame, with interior sash/panel. The replacement windows will also have dual-pane, low-E argon fill, and ¾” white muntins, between-the- glass, of a 3 wide x 2 high, colonial pattern. Replacement of windows is needed due to: “energy efficiency (existing windows are leaky and have single-pane glass). Windows don't open and close properly.” (applicant) Replacements will be the 5 front facade windows and the seven windows along the south elevation (left side viewed from the street) as demonstrated in the plan photos. 3) Siding: The design proposal includes replacing all original wood siding from the original part (front façade and sides) with Hardie board to match Hardie siding on later additions to the property. Replacement is needed due to “rot and water damage, flaking and missing siding.” (applicant) ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Wood construction residence of Minimal Traditional style with asymmetrical cross-gabled roof and horizontal wood siding, with significant alterations and additions including 6:6 replacement windows, and additions of entry bay on the front side and rear two-story construction. The home appears to have been built in 1936 by A.R. McTee a journalist for the Austin American Statesman in the early 1930s. The house was then purchased and sold by several owners including Hurley and Alice E. Griffith, owners and manager of the Griffith Wallpaper & Paint Co. circa 1941-1944; Girvin H. and Ethel M. Sanderson, circa 1947-1949, a Professor at the University of Texas; and Charles G. and Vivian Puryear from 1952-1957, owners of Bradshaw & Puryear.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS FEBRUARY 28, 2022 HR-2022-003635 OLD WEST AUSTIN 1507 NORTHWOOD ROAD C.5 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a two-story addition to a single-story ca. 1935 house. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct a two-story addition. The proposed addition is located at the rear of the house and is clad in stucco. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS One-story stone-clad Tudor Revival house with steeply pitched, compound-gabled roof, arched entryway, decorative stonework trim, multilight bay window with shed roof and exposed rafter tails, and 6:6 screened wood windows. 1507 Northwood Road was constructed in 1935 as a rental property for Milton Burney.1 It had few long-term residents for the first half of the twentieth century; occupants appear to have been mostly University of Texas students, lecturers, and employees. Other short-term residents include a Southern Union salesman, a contractor, and an insurance agent. 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 additions 1. Location The proposed addition is appropriately sited at the back wall of the house. The applicant should consider retaining the unique river-rock finish at the rear gable when attaching the addition. 2. Scale, massing, and height While the proposed addition is two stories in height, its substantial setback minimizes its visual impact to the street view. 3. Design and style The proposed addition’s design and style are appropriate, with compatible but differentiated exterior wall materials to delineate the new portion of the house. 4. Roofs The proposed cross-gabled roofline is simple in design. The applicant should consider architectural shingles matching the existing shingle profile, rather than applying wood shakes where they did not previously exist, as well as omitting the exposed rafter tails at the addition. These changes will help to avoid the appearance of false historicism. 5. Exterior walls The proposed stucco cladding is compatible with the existing stone. 6. Windows, screens, and doors The addition’s proposed fenestration is compatible with the historic portion of the house. 8. Chimneys The proposed addition does not appear to modify existing historic-age chimneys.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS FEBRUARY 28, 2022 HR-2022-002129 WEST LINE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1609 WATERSTON AVE. C.6 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a rear addition and replace windows on ca. 1933 house. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Remove existing sunroom addition at the rear of the house. Construct a new sunroom with a screened porch in its place. The sunroom will be clad in painted wood siding to match the house. The screened porch extends approximately 6’ beyond the side of the house. 2) Remove concrete front porch slab and replace with a wood-framed porch floor. Retain the porch roof and columns. 3) Replace all windows with casement windows. Windows on the front elevation appear to be within the existing openings, while those on the side elevations have different sizes and placement than the historic windows. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story side-gabled bungalow clad in wood siding. The house has a partial width front-gabled porch with fluted box columns and an arched beam. The porch is a concrete slab with decorative iron railings. Windows are single and paired 1:1 wood sash with screens with a 6:1 light pattern. The front-facing gable has a lattice vent, with knee braces at the side-facing gable ends. At the rear is a shed-roofed addition. The house at 1609 Waterston Ave. was built around 1933 for P. J. Anthony, who lived at 1613 Waterston Ave. The first recorded occupants of the house are Seth D. and Evelyn H. Breeding, who married in 1933 and lived in the house around 1935. Evelyn Breeding studied to join the CIA before working at the State Highway Department. Seth Breeding earned a degree in engineering from the University of Texas and worked for the Texas Water Development Board and U.S. Geological Survey. Between 1939 and 1944, Benjamin W. and Alice Janosky rented the house. Benjamin Janosky worked as a salesperson at Scarbrough’s and EMS & Sons. Subsequently, a series of short-term occupants included a bank employee, the owner of the Fred Jones Garage, a plasterer, and a mechanic.
