HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION OCTOBER 26, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0340 4714 ROWENA STREET D.2 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1932 house. ARCHITECTURE One-story, wing-and-gable plan stuccoed frame house with a partial-width inset porch featuring a segmental arched arcaded front wall; single 1:1 fenestration; second-story belvedere at the back of the house; metal roof. RESEARCH The house is associated with Jay J. and Elisabeth Hegman, who lived here from the time of its construction around 1932 until 1948, when they moved to a historic landmark house at 720 E. 32nd Street. Jay J. Hegman was born in 1883 in Galveston, and arrived in Austin in 1915 after operating a theater in Temple, Texas. He opened the “old” Queen Theater on Congress Avenue in 1916, then persuaded Major George W. Littlefield to build a new, larger theater in 1920, the “new” Queen, also on Congress Avenue. The Queen was the first theater in Austin solely dedicated to showing motion pictures; all the other theaters also featured stage shows. Hegman ran afoul of local authorities in the early1920s for showing movies at the Queen on Sundays, in violation of Texas blue laws, which prohibited many businesses from operation on the Sabbath. He was fined for his violations, and in 1924, sold the Queen Theater. He then went to Galveston to operate the Grand Opera House there, before returning to Austin. There are indications that Hegman split his time between Galveston and Austin in the mid-1920s; the city directory of 1924 shows the Hegman family living on Crockett Street, and operating the Star and Crescent theaters. The 1927 directory is the first showing the Hegmans in this neighborhood. They opened the Ritz Theater on E. 6th Street in 1929, and revamped the theater to its current configuration in 1937. His son, Elmo W. Hegman, who grew up in this house on Rowena, started off as a projectionist in his parents’ theaters, and later became the manager of the family’s theater business. Besides the theater businesses in Austin, which included the Queen, Crescent, and Star theaters in the 1920s, Jay J. Hegman was also a real estate man, developing the J.J. Hegman Subdivision in north Austin in the mid-1920s, consisting of Rowena Street and Avenue F between 47th and 51st Streets. The 1930 U.S. Census shows the Hegman family living in a house worth $10,000 with an address of 4805 Avenue F, which …
D.4 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION OCTOBER 26, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0353 2505 PARK VIEW DRIVE PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1954 house in the Air-Conditioned Village. ARCHITECTURE One-story, side-gabled, Ranch-style house with deep eaves and an extension of the front roofline to constitute a covered walkway from what was the attached carport to the front door. The house has a combination of red brick and wood siding; fenestration consists of aluminum-framed sliding windows with a clerestory pane above; grouped in a triple configuration on the front of the house. The carport has been enclosed with horizontal siding, and contains a paired set of the same windows. The porch has been modified to give the house somewhat of an Arts and Crafts appearance with tapered porch posts and stone piers at the front door. To the left of the front door is a brick-veneered wall that extends almost to the roofline; a narrow band of horizontal wood siding containing a pair of sliding windows tops the brick veneer and wraps around the left side of the house. The house has two rear additions, constructed in 1963 and 1964, the latter providing a mother-in-law apartment on-site. RESEARCH The house at 2505 Park View Drive was the Frigidaire House, designed by Ned A. Cole. S.R. Sheppard was the builder. Frigidaire was one of the air conditioning companies pairing with local homebuilders and the National Association of Home Builders to construct houses to test the cost effectiveness and appeal of central air conditioning in houses priced for middle-class consumers. This house is one of several in the Air-Conditioned Village designed by Ned Cole, a local architect and designer, who was instrumental in attracting the National Association of Home Builders to Austin to build a small neighborhood of modest homes with central air conditioning. The builder was S.R. Sheppard, a local contractor who was interested in energy efficiency and had already constructed a house with wall and attic insulation and air conditioning in a nearby West Austin neighborhood before embarking on this more modest house in the Air-Conditioned Village. Austin’s Air-Conditioned Village was the largest of several experiments throughout the country in the early 1950s to test the feasibility of designing and building homes with central air conditioning for middle class buyers. Up until that time, central air conditioning was generally only offered in more expensive homes, and the need for more homes …
D.5 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION OCTOBER 26, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0352 2507 PARK VIEW DRIVE PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1954 house in Austin’s Air-Conditioned Village. ARCHITECTURE The house is one-story, designed in the Ranch style with a combination of board-and-batten, and a horizontally-laid random narrow stone course veneer wainscoting across the front of the house; a side-gabled roof with deep eaves shades the structure. Fenestration consists of metal-framed horizontally-sliding window to the right of the single-leaf glazed front door (a modern replacement) and then a series of awning-style wood-frame windows above the stone wainscoting. The house has an attached garage at the far right end of the facade, once an open double carport. RESEARCH This house is the Carrier house, designed by the Carrier Corporation in conjunction with local architect H.D. Powers, and built by local contractor Andrew S. Patton. H.D. Powers had worked for the Federal Housing Administration prior to this job, and designed five houses in the Air-Conditioned Village for various air conditioning manufacturers. All of his houses had masonry veneer exteriors and were built on a slab. Powers and Patton collaborated on a house featured in the 1953 Parade of Homes. Austin’s Air-Conditioned Village was the largest of one of several experiments throughout the country in the early 1950s to test the feasibility of designing and building homes with central air conditioning for the middle class. Up until that time, central air conditioning was something that was only offered in high-end homes, and the need for more homes for returning servicemen spurred an increase in developing technology for new middle-class homeowners. The Air-Conditioned Village in Austin was specifically envisioned as a neighborhood of relatively modest, if technologically-advanced houses, all with a price tag affordable to many middle-class buyers and as a test case for the cost effectiveness for modest homes in a warm and humid climate. Typical of the early purchasers of the houses in the Air-Conditioned Village, the house at 2507 Park View Drive was initially occupied by Cyrus and Dorothy Brown, who only lived here for a short period of time. His occupation was not listed in the Austin city directory, but it appears that Cyrus Brown was a lumberman from Shallowater, near Lubbock. He does not appear in city directories either before or after the edition of 1954, and he died in Vernon, Texas in 1981. His death certificate noted that …
D.6 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION OCTOBER 26, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS GF-2020-140147 1806 TRAVIS HEIGHTS BOULEVARD PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Partially demolish and construct an addition to a ca. 1930 house. 1) Reconfigure and replace windows and doors. Proposed fenestration includes an added French door at main façade. Glazing replacements include double-hung, awning, and fixed aluminum-clad, divided-light windows. 2) Construct a 2-story addition to the rear of the house. The proposed addition, clad in horizontal fiber-cement siding, features a gabled roof with slope to match existing roofline, 4:4 double-hung aluminum-clad windows capped by standing-seam shed awnings, and a rear dormer with metal shed roof, mulled 4-light windows, and exposed rafter tails. 3) Construct a second-story dormer at the east (main) elevation. The proposed dormer is clad in horizontal fiber-cement siding. It features a standing-seam metal shed roof with exposed rafter tails and 4-light aluminum-clad ribbon windows. 4) Add a wraparound deck with metal guardrail to the main, north, and west elevations. Main elevation deck will replace existing concrete stoop. 5) Whitewash stone. Stucco over brick. ARCHITECTURE One-story Tudor Revival house clad in stone, brick, stucco, and horizontal wood with a cross- gabled roof. It has mulled and single double-hung 1:1 wood windows, a stone veneer chimney, and exposed rafter tails at the front and rear elevations. The gable features a steeply sloped roofline with deep eaves, extending downward to meet the gable’s flared stone detailing. RESEARCH 1806 Travis Heights Boulevard was constructed between 1926 and 1930 by the Stussy Realty Company. Its first occupant was contractor William A. Woolsey. Woolsey also constructed a garage apartment on the property, then rented out one building while he occupied the other. By 1944, he had sold the house. A series of short-term occupants lived there until 1952, when it was purchased by Neil D. and Louetta R. Galbraith. Neil Galbraith worked as a pharmacist and later managed a dry- cleaning company; Louetta Galbraith worked as a clerk and manager at several women’s clothing stores. STAFF COMMENTS The building is recommended contributing to a potential Travis Heights National Register Historic District; however, the district nomination has not completed the federal designation approval process. 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). D. 6- 2 a) Architecture. The house is constructed …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION OCTOBER 26, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS GF-20-140200 4509 BALCONES DRIVE D.7 - 1 PROPOSAL Construct an addition to a ca. 1959 residence. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Partially demolish exterior at north side of house. 2) Construct a single-story addition. The proposed addition features a flat roof, stone veneer and horizontal wood siding, a flat roof with exposed rafter tails, fixed and casement windows, and sliding glass doors. 3) Add casement and fixed windows at the west and north elevations. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Split-level house with horizontal and vertical wood siding; fixed and sliding undivided full- height and ribbon windows; a cross-gabled roof with gable-end detailing, exposed rafter tails, deep eaves, and triangular brackets; and Japanese-inspired decorative wood details at railings, roofline, and fenestration. The site is terraced with masonry retaining walls that follow the contours of its topography, softening the transition between house and landscape. The building at 4509 Balcones Drive was constructed in 1959 by architect David C. Graeber as his personal dwelling. Graeber, who moved to Austin to attend the University of Texas School of Architecture after building homes with his father’s lumber business in San Antonio, joined Kuhne, Brooks, and Barr in 1957. He became a firm partner in 1961. When the firm began consulting for the University of Texas in 1962, Graeber led the design teams for all new UT buildings for the next four years. He established Graeber, Simmons, and Cowan in 1978. Notable projects throughout Graeber’s career include the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library, the All Faiths Chapel of the Austin State Supported Living Center, the Johnson Space Center in Houston, the U.S. Consulate in Mexico City, numerous high-tech firms in Austin, and pro-bono work at the Paramount Theater, the Long Center, and the Austin Convention Center. Graeber also participated enthusiastically in the revitalization of Austin’s downtown. Through a philosophy of “continuity, not conflict,” (Austin-American Statesman, 1965) he championed urban living and moved his family to Sixth Street in 1967, restoring and landmarking a nineteenth-century stone building where he lived for the next forty years. Since then, his vision of a skyscraper-filled residential downtown has come to fruition. He served on the boards of the Texas Society of Architects, Old Pecan Street Association, and other civic-minded planning and architecture organizations. In 1969, he chaired the Governor’s Conference on Urban Affairs, and later initiated Austin’s street tree planting program along Congress Avenue. STAFF …

D.8 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION OCTOBER 26, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS GF-20-146072 1601 WILLOW STREET PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Partially demolish a ca. 1912 house and construct a new addition. 1) Demolish two-story portion of house. 2) Construct a two-story addition. The proposed addition includes a side gable set atop the existing roof, immediately behind the hipped ridgeline and intersected by a south (rear)-facing cross gable with exposed rafter tails. It is clad in horizontal wood siding to match existing and features double-hung 1:1 mulled and single windows with wood trim to match existing. The existing wraparound porch is extended to the east and south elevations, with all wood details to match existing. The roof is clad in composite shingles to match existing. 3) Add a masonry chimney to rear elevation. 4) Repaint existing siding, trim, railings, doors, and windows. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH The 2-story house is clad in horizontal wood siding and has 1:1 mulled and single wood windows. Its compound gabled and hipped roof is clad in composition shingles and features exposed rafter tails. Its first-floor wraparound porch is supported by Classical columns. The building at 1601 Willow Street was constructed between 1910 and 1912. The Thomson family, its first occupants, rented the home until James Thomson’s death in 1914; his widow remained in the home for at least another two years. A series of short-term renters lived in the house until 1924, when Leonard and Helen Gillaspy purchased it. It is likely that the Gillaspy family added the two-story portion of the house to accommodate renters, who appear in Austin directories in 1935. Leonard Gillaspy, a postal worker, passed away in 1938. His wife, Helen, married Uel V. Ives, a WWI veteran and American Legion luminary, by 1947; the couple lived in the home until the 1950s. Their daughter Helen and her husband Robert Primose lived with them after Robert returned from service in WWII until at least 1952. After a decade of short-term renters, the home was purchased by Augustin and Reyes Castillo in 1964. Augustin Castillo, a quarry worker, passed away in 1969; Reyes Castillo, a waitress, continued to live in the house until her death in 2017. She raised 11 children there, and her porch became a neighborhood nexus. In a 2016 Austin American-Statesman article, Michael Barnes asked Castillos’s sons what it was like to grow up in the house: “Mama’s house, because of …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION OCTOBER 26, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0384 906 E. 13TH STREET D.9 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a one-story house. ARCHITECTURE One-story building with compound hipped and gabled roof and covered entryway. Clad in horizontal wood siding and stone veneer, the house has aluminum windows with iron grilles and a partial width covered porch shaded by a metal awning. A similar awning covers the house’s large picture window. RESEARCH 906 East 13th Street was constructed in 1949 for Boston P. Grant, III and his family. Grant, an Austin native and longtime Texas educator, had just returned from a stint in San Marcos as principal of the Negro school there. As a former mathematics professor at Samuel Huston College and a former department head at Anderson High School, Grant was already well-established in Austin’s educational community prior to his return to Anderson as counselor in 1947. As one of the first certified school counselors in Texas, Grant pioneered career training programs, testing reform, and vocational mentoring at Anderson. He advocated for testing strategies that were tailored to his African American students, understanding that their educational and vocational needs were uniquely challenging in segregation-era Texas. Above all, Grant encouraged educators and counselors to listen and learn from their pupils, and to foster an environment in which young people could speak freely about their feelings as they looked toward the future. Grant’s daughter, Deloria H. Grant, took possession of the home after his death in 1980. Grant, a Samuel Huston alumnus like her father, became a licensed vocational nurse who cared for some of Austin’s most prominent families. Deloria H. Grant passed away in July of 2020. STAFF COMMENTS 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 historic designation criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2- 352). The property may demonstrate significance according to City Code: a) Architecture. The house is constructed with Minimal Traditional influences. b) Historical association. The house is associated with educator Boston P. Grant, III. c) Archaeology. The house was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d) Community value. The house 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 …
