David Rudick < > Maison Rêve - Historic Exterior Color Palette Options Leah B Flippen To: David Rudick Hello Everyone, Chris Pisculli Wed, Mar 12 at 12:16 PM , Molly Parks In preparation for today's historic society walk-through, I've developed two elegant exterior color schemes for Maison Rêve using verified Sherwin Williams historic colors that would meet approval requirements for the grant. I've attached a visual reference of both palettes for your review. *Option 1: Victorian Jewel Harmony* - Main Body: Downing Slate SW 2819 - Trim/Porch Details: Classical White SW 2829 - Accent (Corbels/Window Sashes): Mulberry Silk SW 0001 - Front Door: Rockwood Red SW 2802 - Porch Ceiling: Queen Anne Lilac SW 0021 This combination creates a distinctive exterior that stands out while maintaining historical authenticity. The sophisticated Downing Slate provides a beautiful backdrop for the architectural details, while the Mulberry Silk creates an elegant transition between the slate and red elements. The vibrant Rockwood Red door serves as a jewelry-like focal point that hints at the interior jewel tones, and the Queen Anne Lilac ceiling adds a subtle connection to our interior color palette. *Option 2: Victorian Classic Drama* - Main Body: Downing Slate SW 2819 - Trim/Porch Details: Classical White SW 2829 - Accent (Corbels/Window Sashes): Rockwood Dark Red SW 2801 - Front Door: Rockwood Red SW 2802 - Porch Ceiling: Dutch Tile Blue SW 0031 This palette offers a more traditional approach with higher contrast between elements, creating a bold yet historically accurate exterior. The deep Rockwood Dark Red accents provide rich depth against the blue- gray slate, while the Dutch Tile Blue ceiling complements the main color beautifully. This combination honors Victorian color traditions while creating a memorable street presence. Both options would create a stunning exterior that reflects the sophistication of the interior design. I'm continuing to research historically appropriate front door options and will follow up with recommendations as soon as possible. I'm available to discuss these options during today's walk-through if you'd like to review them with the historic representative present. Best regards, Leah Leah B.

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The project includes large-scale repair of window trim, glass, and sealing on the third floor and above. Per the conditions survey provided to the applicant, varying levels of deterioration of frames and glazing—from minor to severe—are present at both the original 1886 building and the 1930s-era tower; glazing putty and seals throughout are in poor condition. The project’s engineering consultant proposes the following repairs: In all locations, we recommend removing and resetting glazing within the fixed frames. This includes windows at the original 1886 hotel as well as the tower; recommended work sequence is as follows: Remove exterior wood glazing stops and/or glazing putty. Cut back glazing seals and remove existing glass, taking care to avoid damage to glass and frame components. Clean glass and glazing pocket of debris and deleterious materials. Repair or replace damaged portions of interior window framing. Apply new glazing putty or silicone sealant into glazing pocket in a continuous manner. Set glass into glazing pocket in a level and plumb manner. Tool exterior glazing putty/setting sealant and install new exterior wood glazing stops set in glazing tape or silicone sealant. Reset glass at upper tower levels and discrete lower levels of identified water leakage and interior damage. Cut out and replace exterior glazing putty at the 1886 historic windows, including cleaning of the glazing pocket outboard of the glass. If only partial repairs of the glazing are pursued, we recommend resetting glass in locations of known leakage or where visible gaps and/or discontinuities in the glass-to-frame interfaces were noted. At a minimum, this should include the following work: Windows identified with minimal frame damage should be scraped of loose paint, primed, and repainted. This includes scraping loose paint, replacing pieces that are severely damaged, filling small areas of damage, removing and replacing broken glass lites, and cutting out and replacing degraded glazing putty, then priming and painting. Windows identified as having partial-depth or discrete areas of frame damage should be repaired by scraping loose paint, cleaning surfaces, and filling damaged wood frame elements prior to priming and repainting. Windows identified as the most damaged, with highly degraded frame components experiencing section loss, …

Acton Partners, LLC PO Box 203663 Austin, Texas 78720-3663 TBPE Firm F-16437 www.ActonPC.com P: ACTON PARTNERS Sent via electronic mail to j January 14, 2025 John Bryant Vice President of Construction and Development Woodbine Development Corporation 1845 Woodall Rodgers, Ste. 1700 Dallas, Texas 75201 Re: Preliminary Letter Report – Window Condition Survey -- DRAFT -- Driskill Hotel Room Refresh APC No. 2024.0277 Dear Mr. Bryant: In accordance with our proposal dated December 10, 2024, Acton Partners, LLC Consulting (APC) has performed a field survey of the historic wood-framed windows at the Driskill Hotel and has prepared the following report summarizing our findings and recommendations. BACKGROUND The historic Driskill Hotel, located in downtown Austin, Texas, is a four-story Romanesque-style hotel structure located at the corner of East 6th Street and Brazos that was constructed in 1886. A thirteen-story tower was added to the north side of the historic building, along 7th Street, in 1930. Woodbine Development is planning ongoing renovations for the historic building, to include repairs to the exterior wood-framed windows. Accordingly, APC was engaged to review the condition of the wood frames, glazing, and perimeter seals. VISUAL OBSERVATIONS Window Frames and Glazing APC visited the site on January 2 and 3, 2025, to perform a visual review of the current conditions of the window systems from the interior of units, accessible low roofs, balconies, and ground level. Our observations of the conditions are described below. During our assessment, we directly accessed 115 of 189 guest rooms across the original 1886 building and the tower. At the historic building, the windows are typically fixed and single-hung, wood-framed units of varying sizes and geometries (Figure 1). The larger units have exposed exterior glazing putty between the single pane glazing and frames, some include muntins between glass units, and others include leaded stained glass (Figure 2, Figure 3, and Figure 4). The operable portions of the windows are fixed in place and are typically covered with a fixed storm/sound panel at the interior (Figure 5). Glazing putty throughout these units is in poor condition, appearing embrittled and with voids or missing exterior portions (Figure 6). At the tower, the windows are typically fixed, wood-framed units, with single pane glass held in place with exterior wood glazing stops attached to the fixed frames with finish nails (Figure 7, Figure 8, and Figure 9). Discontinuities are present throughout the tower in the back-bedded seals …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS MAY 7, 2025 HR-2025-043034 ZIMMERMAN CABIN 9019 PARKFIELD DRIVE 9.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Stabilize and restore the original 1854 construction of this Austin landmark. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Shore west wall and repair foundation, including installing concrete piers and steel beams. Utilize existing stones to retain original appearance. 2) Restore fachwerk walls, including restoration of half-timbering and removal of cement-based plaster, to be replaced with lime mortars and plasters. 3) Reproduce wood windows in their original appearance and install new period-appropriate shutters. ARCHITECTURE The one-story frame residence known as the Zimmerman Cabin was originally a four-room cottage that featured half- timbering, known also as fachwerk, construction. Originally built in 1854, the house was used by the Zimmerman family who owned the land in what is now North Austin. Alterations and additions over time added several rooms and saw non- compatible finishes and materials such as Portland cement used for repairs. Currently, the house features a front porch with an overhang supported by decorative metal posts, and a variety of siding types. Upon receipt of this application, the west façade had been exposed to the original fachwork, which is in good condition given its age and years of entrapment. The roof is clad in composite shingle, and alterations have occurred to the front door and some of the windows. There is plywood covering a section of the roof gable, most likely where a vent was installed in the past. The side-gabled roof features a brick chimney at one end, in relatively good condition. 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 historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 1. General standards The proposal is to remove non-historic and inappropriate materials such as cement mortars, then patch and repair with appropriate and compatible. Removal of non-historic siding will reveal the level of repairs required. 2. Foundations Stabilizing with concrete and steel foundation, then cladding it in original stone, will ensure that the foundation will support the required loads for the future, while not altering the historic appearance. 3. Roofs Roof repairs will include new wooden shingles, which match in appearance to the original construction. 4. Exterior walls and trim The removal of non-historic wall cladding will reveal …
