A.3 - 1 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET HLC DATE: PC DATE: October 25, 2021 November 15, 2021 CASE NUMBER: PR-21-139164 COUNCIL DISTRICT: 1 APPLICANT: Historic Landmark Commission HISTORIC NAME: Mack and Gertrude Blocker House WATERSHED: Boggy Creek ADDRESS OF PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE: 1601 Cedar Avenue ZONING FROM: SF-3-NP to SF-3-H-NP SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the proposed zoning change from single family residence – Neighborhood Plan (SF-3-NP) combining district to single family residence – Historic Landmark – Neighborhood Plan (SF-3-H-NP) combining district zoning. QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: Architecture and historical associations. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: October 25, 2021: Initiated historic zoning. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The East Austin Historic Resources Survey (2016) recommends this house as contributing to a potential local or National Register Historic District. ACTION: PHONE: 974-6454 ORDINANCE NUMBER: CITY COUNCIL DATE: ORDINANCE READINGS: 1ST 2ND 3RD CASE MANAGER: Steve Sadowsky NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION: Austin Independent School District, Austin Lost and Found Pets, Austin Neighborhoods Council, Chestnut Addition Neighborhood Assn. (C.A.N.A.), Chestnut Neighborhood Plan Contact Team, Chestnut Neighborhood Revitalization Corporation (CNRC), Del Valle Community Coalition, East Austin Conservancy, Friends of Austin Neighborhoods, Homeless Neighborhood Association, Neighborhood Empowerment Foundation, Neighbors United for Progress, Preservation Austin, SELTexas, Sierra Club, Austin Regional Group BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: Architecture: One-story, rectangular-plan, hipped roof, frame transitional-style house with a partial-width inset porch with a segmental-arched bargeboard, raised rail, paired battered timber posts, A.3 -2 and boxed panel spandrels; replacement single 6:6 fenestration; central, hipped roof frame attic vent dormer. The building is a good example of a transitional house, a period representing a bridge between the Victorian styles known for their architectural ornamentation and the more reserved and smaller-scale bungalow styles of the 1920s. Transitional houses were generally taller than the later bungalows, but began to exhibit a lower form than the Victorians of the past; a slow move from verticality to horizontality. Although the windows have been replaced, the house reflects a high degree of integrity for its age, and is also unusual for its continuous ownership by a Black family in an era where a house like this would have likely started off with white owners. The house appears to have architectural significance. Historical Associations: According to Travis County real estate records, Mack Blocker purchased this property in the fall of 1914. The lot was across the street from his wife’s father’s property. He and his wife, the former Gertrude Parker, lived …

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Sarah Arvey Tuesday, October 19, 2021 9:18 AM PAZ Preservation East Austin historic home needs to be saved *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** PR-2021-139064 Dear Commission, As a 10 year resident of East Austin, in the East Cesar Chavez neighborhood, I have witnessed the demolition of countless older homes like 1601 Cedar Ave. For the most part, developers replace these older homes of character and historic importance with homes in truly atrocious architectural styles that have nothing to do with the original homes and neighborhood styles. Quite often, these new homes are sold and turned into STR for tourists. Please consider recommending that 1601 Cedar Ave (PR‐2021‐139064) be designated historical, and worthy of saving from demolition. Thank you, Sarah Arvey ‐‐ ********************************* Sarah R.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS NOVEMBER 14, 2021 HR-2021-157034 HYDE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 3810 DUVAL STREET B.1 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct additions to a contributing house and noncontributing ADU. 1) Construct second-floor addition at south and west elevation, with dormers at north elevation. Proposed materials include fiber-cement shingle siding, composition roofing shingles, wood windows, and steel exterior stairs. 2) Add screened porch at west elevation and open porch at rear. Proposed materials include fiber-cement shingle siding and concrete porch and ramp, enclosed by a wood porch with metal screens. 3) Construct second-floor addition to existing ADU. Proposed materials include fiber-cement shingle siding, vinyl windows, and composition shingle roofing. ARCHITECTURE 1.5-story cross-gabled Craftsman bungalow with brick and stucco cladding, decorative bargeboards and gable ends, a partial-width porch with gabled roof, exposed rafter tails, and brick-clad piers. Fenestration includes single and mulled wood windows with decorative screens. The existing ADU is a one-story building with horizontal wood siding, a side- gabled roof with exposed rafter tails, and varying fenestration types. DESIGN STANDARDS The Hyde Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 4.1: Preservation of Historic Character. Construct additions so as to require the removal or modification of a minimum of historic fabric. Do not construct additions which will require the removal of any portion of the front façade. Design additions to existing residential buildings to reflect the form and style of the existing house. The proposed first-story rear addition requires removal of minimal historic fabric, while the second-floor addition removes a significant amount of existing roof material. It appears to incorporate an existing non-historic dormer addition. 4.2: Location. Locate new additions and alterations to the rear or rear side of the building so that they will be less visible from the street. While the proposed rear addition is appropriately sited, the second-floor addition is located atop the existing ridgeline at the main façade. The large staircase at the south elevation may also be visible from the street. 4.3: Roof, Fenestration, and Siding. 1. Make the pitch and height of the roof of the addition compatible to that of the existing house. 2. Make windows visible from the street on any addition compatible with those on the existing house in terms of sash configuration, proportion, spacing and placement. 3. Use exterior siding materials on …

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. 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 Claude A. Williams and Dr. Revace “Sam” Swearingen. 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 may include a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, aesthetic, cultural, or historical value to the city. Further landscape research may be required. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Consider initiating historic zoning. Should the Commission decide against initiation, require completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package prior to permit release. Additionally, new construction in National Register districts must be reviewed by the Commission prior to release of the …

C.4 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish rear addition on ca. 1915 house and demolish detached garage; construct new rear addition and garage with accessory dwelling unit. 1) Reopen previously enclosed section of the front porch. Remove infill between and restore historic box columns. 2) Repair and selectively replace siding and trim. Install a new stucco foundation skirt and new concrete steps to the porch. 3) Install new fiberglass-clad 1:1 wood windows in an existing opening on the front (east) elevation, under the restored porch, and in enlarged openings on the south elevation.

Two doors open from the porch, with a transom over the primary door. Windows are 1:1 wood sash. Wood moulding at the tops of the box columns and window trim lends refinement to the otherwise simple house. The house at 1012 Shelley Ave. was constructed around 1915.
