HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-2021-113751 3411 CLEARVIEW DRIVE D.4 – 1 Demolish a ca. 1951 house and rear accessory building. PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story Modern house with two-story rear addition and one-story rear studio. The primary building is clad in stucco and features a flat roof, integrated stone planters, an attached carport, and aluminum ribbon windows. The ca. 1958 studio is similarly styled. The house was built in 1951 for Alexander Strachan and Jerry Duncan. A. S. Duncan was a World War II veteran who worked as a real estate agent and sales manager with Harrison-Wilson-Pearson and Nelson Puett before opening his own agency in the mid-1960s, where he partnered with Puett. He served as chairman of the Austin Board of Realtors and was widely praised for his abilities as a salesman. Jerry Duncan was an active participant in the University Women and Helping Hand organizations. PROPERTY EVALUATION Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate integrity. A second-story rear addition was constructed in 2002 which may limit the building’s designation potential. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not appear to meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building displays Modern stylistic influences. b. Historical association. There do not appear to be significant historical associations, though the Commission may wish to consider A. S. Duncan’s contributions to Austin real estate at midcentury. 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, but release the demolition permit upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-2021-117734 2103 E. 8TH STREET D.5 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE Demolish a house that may have been moved ca. 1939. This one-story Modified L-plan house appears on Sanborn maps between 1935 and 1961, with a sewer connection permit from 1939. Although the City has no record of a relocation permit, the house has Folk Victorian elements suggesting an earlier date of construction and may have been moved onto the lot. These elements include 2:2 wood windows, sawn brackets at the eaves, and a chamfered wood pilaster at the porch. The house has horizontal wood siding, covered with asbestos shingles under the porch. RESEARCH The house at 2103 E. 8th Street was occupied from 1944–1955 by the family of James L. and Grace Finnin, working-class African Americans. James Finnin (ca. 1889–1982) worked as a farm laborer before moving into Austin and subsequently was a laborer at the City of Austin Water & Light Department. Grace Underwood Finnin (1897–1993) raised the couple’s many children and was involved with the Mary Church Terrell District Association of Federated Women’s Clubs, serving as reporter for the organization in 1961. Some of their children continued to live in the house on E. 8th upon reaching adulthood; city directory listings include multiple of their names: Ella, Everett, Horace (Billie), Harvey, and Inez, who held working-class jobs including laborer, porter, cook, and maid. PROPERTY EVALUATION The East Austin Historic Resources Survey (Hardy Heck Moore, Inc., 2016) does not indicate the property is eligible for historic designation. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building retains a moderate degree of integrity. Some porch columns and parts of the porch roof have been replaced, and asbestos shingles cover part of the siding. The house appears to be in poor condition. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (Land Development Code §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building appears to be a Folk Victorian house that may have been moved to the site. b. Historical association. The house was associated with the Finnin family. Readily accessible archival material on African Americans in Austin is limited, and sufficient grounds are lacking to make a case for significant historical associations. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-2021-130003 909 W. ANNIE STREET D.9 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Partially demolish a 1939 house, construct a two-story addition, and replace windows and siding. 1) Construct a rear and second-story addition. The addition extends the height of the ridge of the side-gabled roofline and adds a shed-roofed dormer and balcony over the front porch. Roofing will be standing-seam metal. 2) Replace 1:1 wood windows with new windows. Windows are to be installed in existing openings on the front of the house, but windows on the sides will be reconfigured. Replace the existing front door with a new door and sidelights. Replace wood siding with new lap siding. Window, door, and siding materials are not specified. One-story, side-gabled bungalow clad in wood siding. The house has a central gabled porch with box columns and partial height square piers at the front steps. The porch is flanked on both sides by paired 1:1 windows with decorative screens. Side elevations have paired windows at the first floor and single 1:1 windows at the attic level. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH The house at 909 W. Annie St. was owned throughout the historic period by Cecil E. and Dorothy B. Kelso. Cecil Kelso (1907–1988) worked as a projectionist in Austin movie theaters for at least 45 years, beginning in 1927. He served on a Motion Picture Board, an advisory body to City Council, during the 1950s. In an interview in the Austin Statesman in 1972, Kelso remarked, “The modern films aren’t for me. My favorites are Walt Disney and family types” and classic films. Dorothy Kelso (1916–2010) was a teacher at Allison and Webb elementaries. Their son Gordon Kelso (1941–2018) was a corporal in the U.S. Marine Corps. While a student at the University of Texas and working for a local television station, he filmed broadcast footage of the UT tower shooting. 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 potential historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 3. Roofs The standards indicate that metal roofing is generally acceptable within historic districts but should only be installed on landmarks if there is historic precedent. The house currently has composition shingle roofing and likely had wood shingles originally. 4. Exterior …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT PERMITS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-21-092304 2521 JARRATT AVENUE OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT C.2 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a new residence and accessory building. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish existing contributing house. 2) Construct a new residence and detached garage. The proposed primary building is two stories, with a compound hipped roof clad in metal tiles and double arched entryway. It is clad in stucco with limestone accents at the covered main entry. Fenestration includes fixed and casement divided-light windows, an arched front door with transom, and a fully glazed arched secondary front door. A second-floor balcony with a decorative steel railing sits atop the entryway. 3) Construct a two-story accessory building, with first-floor garage and living space above. The proposed accessory building is located behind the primary residence and connects to it with a covered breezeway. 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 building appears to be set back from the street at approximately the same location as the existing house. 2. Orientation The proposed new building has a consistent orientation with the rest of the buildings on the block. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed new building appears to be similar in height and scale to other contributing buildings on the block. Its more complex massing is less compatible with nearby contributing buildings. 4. Proportions The proposed new building’s proportions appear mostly compatible. 5. Design and style The proposed design is differentiated from historic-age buildings by its massing, roofline, fenestration patterns and materials, and cladding materials. The proposed design, with its eclectic French and Mediterranean influences, is not compatible with the Colonial Revival and Ranch style buildings in this part of the district. 6. Roofs The compound hipped roofline with faux-slate tiles is appropriate to the building style, though similar rooflines do not exist on nearby contributing buildings. 7. Exterior walls Most nearby contributing buildings are brick or horizontal wood siding, though stucco examples do exist elsewhere in the district. The limestone accents, however, are less compatible. 8. Windows and doors The proposed fenestration at the main elevation is somewhat compatible, though the arched entryways, double front doors, and …
