A.1 - 1 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET April 27, 2020 HLC DATE: CASE NUMBER: C14H-2020-0020 PC DATE: APPLICANTS: Neema and Pedram Amini HISTORIC NAME: Majors-Butler-Thomas House WATERSHED: Boggy Creek ADDRESS OF PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE: 1119 E. 11th Street ZONING FROM: CS-1-H-NP-NCCD to CS-1-NP-NCCD SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The application is to remove historic zoning from the property. Staff cannot recommend the proposed zoning change to remove H zoning from this parcel without a plan for the landmark house and seeks guidance from the Commission for exploring courses of action. The applicant has provided substantial evidence of the long-term deterioration of the existing house, indicating that the house has been rendered unusable without an imprudent investment of funds for restoration and rehabilitation, and will therefore seek demolition of the house if the requested zoning change is recommended and ultimately approved by the City Council. QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: The Majors-Butler-Thomas House was designated as a historic landmark in 2015 for its significance in architecture and historical associations. The original staff report and supporting materials are appended to this report. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The house was designated as a historic landmark by the City Council in 2015. Since then, it has failed several inspections relating to maintenance of the property and the owners were denied their tax exemption for this property last year. ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: CITY COUNCIL DATE: ORDINANCE READINGS: 1ST 2ND 3RD CASE MANAGER: Steve Sadowsky NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION: Organization of Central East Austin Neighborhoods BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: The applicants seek to remove the historic landmark designation (H) zoning from the property based upon its deteriorated condition and infeasibility to repair, restore, and rehabilitate. While staff recognizes the condition of the house, and agrees with the assessments contained therein, the designation of the property as a historic landmark was known to the current applicants, who are the prospective buyers of the property. The condition of the house has worsened since the time of initial designation of this house, as it PHONE: 974-6454 A.1 - 2 has remained vacant. Staff seeks further evaluation of ways the historic landmark house can be incorporated into the applicants’ proposal for the property or other alternatives to eventual demolition of the structure. Rehabilitation of this house in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for use as a non-homestead property may also qualify for state and federal tax credits to …
600 N Pearl Street Suite S1900 Dallas, TX 75201 (855) 349-6757 Texas Registered Engineering Firm 20170 Project No. 16596 February 14, 2020 Re: Structural Review of Existing Residence 1119 E 11th Street Austin, TX 78702 Dear Pedram Amini, As requested, personnel of GreenWorks Engineering and Consulting have completed a structural review of the address referenced above on February 11, 2019. The purpose of the observation was to collect information and provide information about the current state of the structure. For the purposes of this report, the house faces north. The house is a single-story wood framed structure built in 1916. The foundation system of the house is a pier and beam with a perimeter skirt. The house has had at least (2) additions constructed at the rear of the residence. All the information gathered was from the visual evaluation and no destructive or invasive testing was performed. Introduction: Observations: Roof: The roof of the house is a hip roof, with a gable roof over the kitchen addition, and a flat roof over the family room addition. The roof is composed of 2x4 rafters spaced at 24 inches on center. The roof is covered with composition asphalt shingles. There is a visible dip in the north side of the hip roof, as viewed from the exterior of the house. There was some water damage noted on the wood shakes at the south face of the hip roof as viewed from the attic. There was noticeable separation between the roof and the ceiling. The rafters at the kitchen addition have been excessively notched over the exterior wall. A portion of the roof framing over the family room has collapsed due to apparent water damage. Ceilings: The ceiling framing is composed of 2x4 joists spaced at 24 inches on center and are oriented in the east/west direction. The ceiling joists bear on the interior wall and both exterior walls. There is a noticeable deflection in the ceiling joists as viewed from the attic. Portions of the ceiling drywall and sheathing have detached from the ceiling joists throughout the residence. The beam on the east Project No. 16596 February 14, 2020 side of the porch has broken and is no longer supporting the roof and ceiling. The base of the guardrails around the porch have deteriorated, and no longer support the rail. Walls: The exterior walls of the living room, bathroom, and kitchen appear …
A.2-1 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET HLC DATE: April 27, 2020 PC DATE: CASE NUMBER: C14H-2020-0033 APPLICANT: Willy Fischler, owner HISTORIC NAME: Teer-Peterson House WATERSHED: Shoal Creek ADDRESS OF PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE: 2408 Harris Boulevard ZONING FROM: SF-3 to SF-3-H SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the proposed zoning change from single family residence (SF-3) district to single family residence – Historic Landmark (SF-3-H) combining district zoning. QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: Architecture and historical associations. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The house is beyond the bounds of the Comprehensive Cultural Resources Survey (1984), but was identified as contributing to the Old West Austin National Register Historic District. ACTION: PHONE: 974-6454 ORDINANCE NUMBER: CITY COUNCIL DATE: ORDINANCE READINGS: 1ST 2ND 3RD CASE MANAGER: Steve Sadowsky NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION: Pemberton Heights Neighborhood Association BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: Architecture: One-story, L-plan, stone-veneered Tudor Revival house two steep front-facing gables, a prominent front-facing exterior stone chimney, a stuccoed gabled bay with false half- timbering containing the principal entry, and a combination of 9:9 and diamond-paned casement fenestration. There is an integral screened porch to the left of the principal block of the house. The house was designed by Charles H. Page, of the prominent Austin architectural firm of Page Brothers in 1930 and completed in 1933. Page designed a rear addition, known as the “Lodge” in 1935, and another addition designed by Austin architects Niggli & Gustafson was completed in 1945. There is a more modern gabled wood carport to the south (left) of the house. A.2 - 2 Historical Associations: The house was designed and built for former state representative and then-chair of the State Board of Control Claude D. Teer and his wife Clara. Teer lived in his home town of Granger until 1927, when he moved his family to Austin. Prior to their residence in this house, the Teer family lived in a rented house on W. 13th Street. The family moved in around 1934. The 1932- 33 city directory shows the family on W. 13th Street; by 1935, they lived at this Harris Boulevard address. Claude D. Teer was born in Arkansas in 1881 but lived as a young man in Granger, Texas. He was elected to the State House of Representatives from Granger in 1919 and served until 1927 with a position on the appropriations committee. While in the legislature, he was active in the Texas Committee on Prisons, …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS B.1 - 1 APRIL 27, 2020 C14H-1989-0020 and -0021 PLATT AND DITTLINGER BUILDINGS 302-04 E. 6TH STREET Construct a new balcony across the front of the buildings; convert two second-story windows to doors. PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The applicant proposes the construction of a wood balcony across the front of both buildings, in accordance with historic photographs. The current awning will be removed for the construction of the balcony. The applicant has based the design and positioning of the balcony on the historic photographs and will recreate the balcony exactly as shown. The applicant further proposes the conversion of two of the second-story windows to doors to allow for access to the new balcony. The applicant proposes to keep the existing original window in place, secure the sashes with a wooden member and interior steel bracing, and then install hinges on the windows so that it will swing in to the building. The applicant asserts that the window will operate securely and will cause no change to the exterior appearance of the building. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are used to evaluate projects on historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1) A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal change to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships. Evaluation: Historic photographs indicate the existence of the balcony across both buildings, which is typical for 19th century commercial buildings along 6th Street. The balconies principally provided shade to the sidewalk below; use of the balconies as outdoor space for the businesses is less apparent in historic photographs. However, it is not uncommon for the balconies to have some use, especially on buildings where the windows could be opened to the extent to allow the ingress or egress from the second story to the balcony. 2) The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a property will be avoided. Evaluation: The applicant maintains that the proposal to convert two windows to doors will not affect the exterior appearance of the building and will not require the removal or alteration of historic features other than changing the way two windows on the second story operate. 3) …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS B.10 - 1 APRIL 27, 2020 C14H-1982-0014 LAGUNA GLORIA 3809 W. 35TH STREET PROPOSAL Replace roofing on the villa; repair/replace deteriorated wood elements, including window screens, powerwash the windows and stucco exterior, and replace awnings. This proposal is an application for a heritage grant. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The applicant proposes to replace the existing shingled roof with a new shingled roof, and the flat membrane roof with a new membrane roof. The applicant further proposes to repair and paint deteriorated wooden elements on the structure, including the decorative wood window screens, and replace any wooden elements that are too deteriorated to repair with a replica of the existing feature, power-wash the stucco and windows, replace awnings, and design new ADA walkways as part of a greater plan for landscape modifications at a later date. Staff asked the applicant to provide the answers to the questions below: their answers are in green. 1. What is the roof replacement material, and has there been a determination that the roof is failing in its entirety or whether the existing materials can be repaired (assuming that it is a historic roof)? Please see the attached bids from Lone Star Roofing for details regarding the roof replacement materials. The existing roof has deteriorated significantly and additional patch repairs are no longer a viable option for the existing roof, which has led to significant leaks in multiple locations across the interior of the Villa. Also, please reference the attached Plans and Specifications document, which includes pictures of the failing roof, which clearly has extensive patching, on page 5. 2. Do you have a plan for the ADA walkway and other accessibility features that are being proposed? I have talked with Laurie Limbacher about this, but to my knowledge, I can't remember seeing a plan yet. Please see the attached Plans and Specifications document, which includes a preliminary plan for the ADA walkway on pages 6 and 7. At the time the museum submitted the application for the Heritage Tourism Grant, our budget for the ADA walkway included design fees, as the plans had not been drawn in detail at the time of submission. In addition, the narrative in the application indicated that further study of the landscape, as well as investigation into permitting, would be necessary after the award had been made in order to move forward with …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS B.11 - 1 APRIL 27, 2020 C14H-2007-0040 PARRISH-FLEMING HOUSE 1410 NORTHWOOD ROAD PROPOSAL Consideration of remediation proposal. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The applicant replaced the windows in the house without a Certificate of Appropriateness. The house historically had 1:1 windows with decorative wooden screens simulating a 6:6 pane configuration. The applicant replaced the deteriorating windows on the house with 6:6 windows with no screens. The Commission directed the applicant to prepare a plan for remediating the conditions for consideration by the Commission. The applicant has the original screens, which he is having re-finished and painted green (as original) for re- installation on the house at the suggestion of a commissioner for a possible resolution of this situation. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are used to evaluate projects on historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1) Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design, color, texture, and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence. Evaluation: The applicant states that the existing windows were deteriorated beyond repair, leading to his decision to replace them. The applicant’s proposal is to re-install the existing screens on the house to re-create the historic look of the house. Behind the screens, the new 6:6 windows will remain. The project meets the applicable standards. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS Not reviewed since the last Commission meeting. In a previous meeting, the Committee did not recommend a solution to the problem; at the Commission meeting, the proposal to re-install the existing or replica screens was offered to the applicant but without a motion to direct this course. The applicant still had the screens and is proposing to refinish and re- install them. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the proposal. This is certainly not an ideal situation, but the fact that the applicant retained the screens and will re-install them over the new windows seems to be an appropriate measure to resolve the situation. B.11 - 2 Google streetview photo - 2014 E-mail from the applicant, April 9, 2020: Steve, The original screens are off to get repaired and fitted properly. Using all the original wood etc...except for a few pieces that were rotted through. …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS B.12 - 1 APRIL 27, 2020 Un-numbered UPTOWN SPORTS BAR 1200 E. 6TH STREET Restoration of a historic building with heritage grant funds; addition of a rear patio and rooftop railing. PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The applicant proposes the restoration of the Uptown Sports Club at the corner of 6th and Waller Streets in East Austin. This ca. 1906 building is probably one of the best-known abandoned buildings in the city. Originally a meat market and bakery owned by a Swedish immigrant, Frank Zakrison, with his daughters, the building became a tavern later. The applicant proposes a restaurant use for the site, with restoration of the existing structure. Existing doors and windows will be restored or replaced with exact replicas. Infilled door and window openings will be restored with either existing historic fabric where it exists, or a replica of an existing feature. The exterior masonry will be cleaned and treated; the signature picket awning on the building will be restored; any elements too deteriorated to be repaired and restored will be replaced in-kind. Painted sections of the masonry exterior will be restored. A new patio will be built on the north (back) side of the building along Waller Street; the patio will have a wood and steel canopy and the infill of an existing arch will be removed and a new steel window and door system will be installed in the existing arch. Mechanical equipment will be installed on the roof with a 42” steel guardrail enclosure. The building is not yet designated a historic landmark, but has been determined eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places by the Texas Historical Commission. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are used to evaluate projects on historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1) A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal change to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships. Evaluation: The proposed restaurant use of the building does not require changes to the building to accommodate this new use. 2) The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a property will be avoided. Evaluation: The applicant proposes the restoration of the …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS B.2 - 1 APRIL 27, 2020 C14H-2010-0040 PAULSON-SING HOUSE 1705 WILLOW STREET Demolish the existing detached garage and construct a two-story ADU at the rear of the property. PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The applicant proposes to demolish the existing detached garage and construct a two-story ADU in its place. The proposed ADU will have a footprint of 744 square feet and will open on the alley at the south end of the property. The new building will be approximately 30 feet behind the back wall of the historic house and will be just over 26 feet tall. The proposed ADU will have hardi-plank siding with a horizontal pattern except for a two-story section of vertical hardi-plank siding in a board-and-batten pattern to the right of the round-arched door (complementing the round-arched door on the main house). The ADU will have a composition shingle roof in a cross-gabled configuration and Fibrex windows. A one-bay garage will face the alley to the right of the entry door. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are used to evaluate projects on historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1) A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal change to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships. Evaluation: Many historic houses in East Austin have secondary dwelling units. The proposed ADU fits a historic pattern of settlement in the neighborhood. 2) The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a property will be avoided. Evaluation: The proposed ADU will be set back approximately XX feet from the back wall of the house, preserving the spatial context of the historic house. The back wall of the ADU will face the back wall of the house so it will have a complementary relationship to the context of the house. 9) New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment. Evaluation: The proposed ADU is separated from …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS B.3 - 1 APRIL 27, 2020 C14H-2006-0016 NORWOOD TOWER 114 W. 7TH STREET Replace infilled sections of the ground-floor wall on the alley (south) elevation with new glass and opaque materials. PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Four former openings along the south (alley) ground flor elevation of the building have been infilled over time with plastered CMU and architectural glass blocks. In the first two bays in from the street, the applicant proposes to remove the plastered infill to reveal the original window frame and glass, and install low-E glass. In the remaining bays along the alley, the applicant proposes to remove the existing infill (glass block and CMU) and fill the bay with a bronze frame to match existing window frames on the building and a combination of low-E glass, clear glass, and Kalwall, a translucent but opaque panel. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are used to evaluate projects on historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1) The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a property will be avoided. Evaluation: It is unclear when the glass blocks were installed in the building, but they are likely not original. The removal of the glass blocks and replacement with glass and Kalwall will not impugn the overall character of the property. 2) Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or elements from other historic properties, will not be undertaken. Evaluation: The applicant will be restoring two previously-covered windows towards the street side of this elevation. 4) Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained and preserved. Evaluation: It is not clear when the glass blocks were installed; they do not constitute a significant architectural feature of the building that should require retention. 5) New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property …

703 Oakland Avenue Inspection Report : Exterior Walls Deficient: Significant and detrimental water damage observed at wall assemblies. Condition is most severe at east wall and "garage" transition. Other locations included around all wall openings (doors, windows, etc.). As repairs are conducted, additional areas are expected to be discovered. The water damage is correlated with deferred maintenance, missing flashing and weatherization details and poor construction practices. If ignored, condition will progress. Visible active termites Smoot Terrace Design Standards : Exterior Walls If replacement of the historic exterior wall materials is necessary, choose a material similar in dimensions, profile, reveal, and texture to the historic material, and install the new materials so that they do not damage adjacent historic fabric and so that they maintain the planar relationships and joint patterns that existed historically relative to window frames, door frames, and other exterior features What Katie Did: Discussion with OWANA zoning members Selected tear-drop siding based on the historical significance and relates to the character of the homes built in 1930s. Installed flashing and water barrier (zip board) for long term preservation. Replaced window molding with pressure-treated wood for long term preservation but maintaining same architectural design from 1938. Inspection Report : Windows Deficient: The windows are in over-all very poor condition. The majority of windows observed with water penetrations issues, air infiltration issues, deteriorated glazing, cracked panes and damaged/missing counter balance springs, impeded egress (can not escape during emergency - windows do not open). Smoot Terrace Design Standards : Windows 1. Avoid alterations that enlarge or relocate window openings 2. Retain and repair all components of existing historic windows unless HPO staff and/or the HLC agree that the individual component is deteriorated beyond repair 3. If replacement of historic windows is necessary, use windows that are the same size and match the dimensions, profile, and configuration of historic windows 4. Substitute materials are appropriate if they maintain the profile and finish appearance of the historic window. What Katie Did 1. Did not enlarge or relocate any window openings with the exception two rear kitchen windows (south wall - facing backyard) 2. Retained and repaired all possible historic windows by mixing and matching components which were salvageable. 3. For necessary replacement of historic windows, used windows that are the same size and match the dimensions, profile, and configuration of historic windows 4. Substituted materials are appropriate to the profile and finish …

ARCHITECTURE One-story, rectangular-plan house with a gable roof, wood cladding, 4-over-1 and 3-over-1 wood-sash windows, and a gable-roofed entry porch with battered piers. The house has a partial-width habitable basement where the grade slopes down from the street. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish the existing basement and construct a larger basement with vertical wood siding, triple banks of fixed and sliding windows, and paired fully glazed doors. Replace an existing wood staircase at the rear (west) elevation with a new steel-framed staircase. The primary façade of the historic building will not be altered. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The property is contributing to the Smoot/Terrace Park Historic District. The following requirements from the historic district design standards apply to the proposed project: Additions to Contributing Buildings 1. New additions should be compatible with the historic building by reflecting the scale, massing, and/or materials of the historic building, but differentiated enough so that they are not confused as historic or original to the building. The basement addition is clad in vertical wood siding that is similar to the historic siding in material, but differentiated in orientation and pattern. The project meets this standard. 3. Design new additions that are subordinate to and do not overpower the historic building. The basement addition is minimally visible and subordinate to the historic building. It meets this standard. 4. Construct additions that avoid the removal or obstruction of any historic exterior features on the front of the building or the sides within 15 feet of the front. The basement addition does not entail the removal or obstruction of historic exterior features. It meets this standard. 6. A new basement addition may extend to the front of the house. The basement addition extends to the front of the house, as allowed. It meets this standard. B.7 - 2 7.

The basement addition does not raise the floor level of the house. It meets this standard. The project …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS B.8 - 1 APRIL 27, 2020 C14H-1986-0008 SCARBROUGH BUILDING 522 CONGRESS AVENUE Remove plate glass from the Congress Avenue storefront to create a semi-outdoor dining area for a new restaurant and install a new railing at the opening. PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The applicant proposes the removal of the plate glass storefront windows along the Congress Avenue elevation of the building to align with the applicant’s restaurant use and create a sheltered outdoor dining area. To separate the dining area from the street, the applicant proposes the installation of a new ornamental metal railing, painted black. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are used to evaluate projects on historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1) A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal change to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships. Evaluation: The Scarbrough Building housed E.M. Scarbrough & Sons, downtown Austin’s premier department store. The plate glass storefronts along Congress Avenue were display windows for their merchandise. The restaurant that has come into the former department store space has removed the plate glass. Besides the attraction of a semi-open air dining area for the restaurant, there does not appear to be any clear need for altering the building by removing the plate glass display windows. 2) The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a property will be avoided. Evaluation: The display windows along Congress Avenue are part of the building’s history as a department store. The removal of the windows has compromised the integrity and historical context of the building. The project does NOT meet the applicable standards. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS Not reviewed. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Deny the application for the removal of the plate glass and direct that the applicant immediately restore the windows removed without review and approval by the Commission. Condition the applicant’s application for a property tax exemption for this property on the restoration of the removed windows. B.8 - 2 E-mail from applicant, March 25, 2020: I am sorry to hear that we missed this requirement when making the submission of this revision to the City of Austin. We did submit a revision to the City of Austin, …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS B.9 - 1 APRIL 27, 2020 C14H-1978-0033 LITTLEFIELD BUILDING 106 E. 6TH STREET Install a removable metal canopy along with 6th Street elevation of the building. PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The applicant proposes a suspended metal canopy along the east portion of the 6th Street elevation of the building. The canopy will extend over the retail spaces to the east of the 6th Street entrance to the building. The canopy will be suspended from metal cables and will be constructed of welded aluminum with a sheet metal roof and a frosted plexiglass ceiling. The exterior of the canopy will be finished in black. The canopy has a modern design. The applicant’s drawings show signage to be installed on the face of the canopy but no application for signs has been submitted at this time. There is currently a metal canopy over the 6th Street entrance to the building, but canvas awnings over the retail space to the east. Historic photos show the metal awning and the entry on 6th Street but nothing over the current retail space to the east: B.9 - 2 B.9 - 3 B.9 - 4 STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are used to evaluate projects on historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1) Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or elements from other historic properties, will not be undertaken. Evaluation: There is no historic record of a metal canopy at this location on the building. 9) New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment. Evaluation: If permitted, the new canopy will not mimic the historic style of the existing canopy over the 6th Street entrance (which is a modern reconstruction of the historic canopy), but will be compatible with the scale and materials of the existing canopies. B.9 - 5 10) New additions and adjacent or related construction will be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed …

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish existing contributing building. 2) Construct new 53-floor, 606’ tower, occupying two adjacent lots at 90 (now Container Bar) and 92 Rainey Street. The tower includes: a) Below-ground garage b) Commercial space (first and second floors plus third-floor bar area): i. Materials throughout include a transparent glass curtainwall system with metal mullions; simplified pilasters of textured stone at bay divisions; recessed mural panels with overhead lighting, and textured concrete cladding. Flat metal awnings above each tenant entrance at 1 and 1.5 stories are topped with lit signage. ii. At the east elevation, vertically-articulated panel systems of varying widths define tenant spaces. An altered metal shipping container with viewport projects from a recessed bar space at the second floor, hovering above the streetscape.

Its first owner was Alonzo B. Cook, who ran a horseshoeing shop on Congress Avenue. From 1914 to 1920, the house had many owners and renters, including a painter, a grocer, and a night watchman. By 1920, it had been purchased by Emil and Edith Bohls. Emil Bohls was the proprietor of a restaurant in 1920, but he soon opened an auto paint shop on 5th Street, which remained in business for many years. By 1937, as Austin’s automobile culture continued to grow, Bohls had expanded his repertoire to include a tourist camp, as well as a filling station, on South Congress Avenue. By 1939, the Bohls family had sold the home to Charles B. and Pearl Eustace. The Eustace family had lived across the street at 95 Rainey since 1922. Charles had recently retired from the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company after a 39-year …

Features include multi-lite vinyl-sash windows, a shed-roofed entry porch, and triple gable dormers with arched windows. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The project has two parts: 1) Construct a hip-roofed carport attached to the south wall and supported by turned wood posts. The carport will be set back 13’ from the front wall of the house; and 2) Construct a one-story rear addition with a footprint of 614 square feet. The addition will be capped with a gable roof, clad in horizontal siding to match existing, and have fixed, casement, and 1:1 wood-sash windows. A gable-roofed entry porch supported by turned posts will be attached to the south wall. RESEARCH The house was constructed by W. B. Houston and occupied by a series of short-term renters, with none remaining for more than five years. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The house is a contributing property in the Old West Austin National Register Historic District. It does not appear to meet the standards for designation as a historic landmark. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building retains a moderate degree of integrity. 3) Properties must meet at least two historic designation criteria for landmark designation (City of Austin Land Development Code Section 25-2-352). The property does not appear to be significant under any criteria. a. Architecture. The building does not appear to be architecturally significant. b. Historical association. A series of short-term renters occupied the house during the historic period. There do not appear to be significant historical associations. 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 appear to possess a unique location, physical characteristic, or significant feature that contributes to the character, image, or cultural identity of the community, Austin, or Texas as a whole. e.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APRIL 27, 2020 NRD-2020-0006 1517 MURRAY LANE C.3 - 1 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT PROPOSAL Construct a two-story rear addition to a contributing house; replace front porch columns, roof shingles, door, and windows; and cover existing siding with new siding. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Replace wood porch columns with columns of a more modern design. 2) Cover existing wood siding with new shiplap and paint. 3) Replace green scalloped roof shingles with gray shingles of unspecified new shape/profile. 4) Construct a new two-story addition to the rear of the house. The addition will be set back beyond the ridge line. It will be clad in aluminum siding with fixed single-pane glass windows. The proposed addition will have a flat roof and roof deck, with minimal fenestration on the east and west sides and a rear elevation with full-height glass windows. A covered carport connects the first-floor garage to the proposed living space. 5) Replace door and windows at main elevation. 6) Remove sconces at main elevation. 7) Remove door trim at main elevation. RESEARCH The house at 1517 Murray Lane was constructed in 1927-28 by William H. and Delle M. Morley. Morley was the son of W.J. Morley, proprietor of Morley Brothers Druggists, the oldest continuously-operating pharmacy and wholesale drug manufacturer in Austin at the time. W.J. Morley and his brother famously employed author Sidney Porter (pseudonym O. Henry), in the latter half of the 19th century. The Morley Brothers Building at 209 East 6th Street is a City of Austin Landmark. S.K. Morley’s house at 510 Baylor Street is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is also an Austin landmark. S.K. Morley, William H. Morley’s uncle, does not appear to be associated with the Morley drug manufacturing business after the sale of the 6th Street drugstore in the early 1930s. However, William H. Morley continued to run the drug manufacturing and wholesale business from his home at 1517 Murray Lane. Morley’s products were sold under multiple manufacturer names, including Cactus Line Products, Morley Drug Company, and W.H. Morley Wholesale. After his death in 1948, William Morley’s widow Delle Mayne Morley continued to live in the home, adding on to the main structure and renting out the former manufacturing facility to tenants.

ARCHITECTURE 2-story irregular-plan house clad in masonry and lap siding. Features include 6-over-6 wood-sash and casement vinyl-sash windows, a masonry chimney, and a covered porch and 2-story attached garage at the rear, facing Stark Place. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The project has four parts: 1) Replace all windows with 6-over-6 clad-wood windows; 2) Enlarge and replace the front entrance from a single door with sidelights to paired multi-lite clad-wood doors; 3) Replace two garage doors with one double-with roll-up paneled metal garage door; 4) On the north (rear) wall, remove covered exterior stairs and a small attached closet and RESEARCH at the ground floor. The house was constructed around 1937 by James G. and Ethel Umstattd, who lived there at least until 1970 with an interruption around 1949. In 1952 and 1959, the Umstattds shared the building with a renter in a rear unit. Dr. James Greenleaf Umstattd was born in 1896 in Missouri. After finishing high school, James taught at a local school while he earned a B.S. in education from Northeast Missouri State Teachers College. He enrolled in the U.S. Navy during World War I. Afterwards, he worked as a high school teacher and supervisor in West Virginia, while earning his master’s degree from the University of Missouri. He received a doctorate from the University of Minnesota, then moved to Detroit to teach at Wayne State University. In 1938, Greenleaf moved to Austin to teach in the University of Texas’s School of Education, where he remained until 1972. During World War II, he took a one-year break to teach at Biarritz American University in France, returning to the U.S. in 1946. During his time at UT, Umstattd published at least five books and received a teaching excellence award from the UT Students’ Association (1963). James Umstaddt died in Austin in 1988. Martha Ethel McNutt Umstattd was born around 1896 in Kentucky. She married James Umstaddt in 1918; the couple had two sons. She was active in the Delta Gamma sorority alumni chapter, the University Ladies Club, and the Austin Woman’s Club. Martha Umstattd died in Austin in 1970. C.6 - 2 STANDARDS FOR …

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Remove deck and demolish rear wall. 2) Demolish shed. 3) Construct a 2-story rear addition. The proposed addition is clad in wood siding that mirrors the existing in orientation, material, and profile. All trim and windows, including the 9:1 screens, will match the historic building’s. The roof slope, metal finish, rear clipped gable, exposed rafter tails, and brackets at soffit will match the existing roof and decorative elements as well. RESEARCH The house was built between 1922 and 1924 by carpenter and contractor Carl Quick and his wife Dora. The Quick family lived there until 1937; they may have been acquainted with its new occupants, Eugene and Mary Bybee. Eugene Bybee, called Gene, owned a business selling coin- operated vending and slot machines at 209 Congress Avenue. After the Bybees moved, the home’s residents included various short-term renters. Among these were service station employees, a meter reader, and a clerk. During the 1950s, insurance agent Wilford Chapman and his wife Margaret occupied the home. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are used to evaluate new construction projects in National Register historic districts. Applicable standards include: 2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided. The proposed addition does not compromise the building’s character-defining features, spaces, or materials. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment. The proposed modifications remove minimal historic fabric from the rear of the building. New work is not visible from the street and is compatible with the massing, size, scale, and features of the historic building; however, the proposed addition may not be adequately differentiated from the existing. It may be appropriate to incorporate subtle design changes that distinguish new and old material, such as removing period-style decorative elements from the rear elevation or adding vertical trim between the addition …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS APRIL 27, 2020 612 EAST 6TH STREET C.8 - 1 SIXTH STREET NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT PROPOSAL Install a blade sign on a building located in the Sixth Street National Register Historic District. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The proposed design features a projecting 3’-diameter circular aluminum cabinet, mounted to the building with aluminum brackets. The sign’s logo is made of flat white aluminum, illuminated with “faux neon” LED lighting. Routed letters below the logo are backed with white acrylic and lit by internal LEDs. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Historic Landmark Commission applies the following standards when reviewing sign applications within National Register historic districts: Number of Signs: The Commission allows one sign per building, unless the building has multiple tenants; in this case, the Commission may allow one sign per façade module, if the façade modules correspond to tenant spaces. The Commission may also allow one sign for each street frontage if the building is at an intersection. A single directory sign is appropriate for a large building with multiple tenants. The proposed blade sign is the second sign advertising this second-floor tenant. The tenant’s previous flush-mounted sign was approved upon the condition that the applicant redesign the sign’s lighting and reduce its size. The proposed sign would be the fourth on the building. The existing first-floor tenant’s blade sign and flush-mounted sign were installed around 2016 without review by the Historic Preservation Office or Historic Landmark Commission. Sign Types: The Commission may allow window signs, awning signs, projecting signs, and flush mounted signs for most commercial buildings. The proposal is for a projecting sign. Sign Size: The maximum size for signs depends on the sign type. Projecting (blade) signs: 6 square feet. The proposed circular sign measures 3 feet in diameter. Its area is approximately 7.07 ft2. Sign Design, Coloring and Materials: Use simple shapes, such as rectangular or oval signs. The Commission recommends painted wood or metal signs with matte finishes for all signs; plastic, reflective materials, and unfinished surfaces are not allowed. Limit the colors used in a sign to no more than three. For sites with multiple signs, all signs should have corresponding or matching designs, coloring and materials. Signs should match or complement the existing color scheme of the building to the maximum extent feasible. Lettering: No more than two typefaces are allowed. Avoid lettering which appears too …

ARCHITECTURE One-story rectangular-plan church building with asymmetrical gabled roof and gabled portico. The building is clad in horizontal wood siding and brick, and features a breezeway supported by squared wood posts at the north elevation. Fenestration at the north and south walls consists of regularly-spaced aluminum windows, covered by decorative iron bars. RESEARCH The building at the corner of Lott Avenue and Prock Lane was constructed around 1975 for the Iglesia Apostolica congregation, and was later known as the Templo Maranatha. There few extant permits or biographical records for the church, though aerials and streetscape photos show several modifications from the original rectangular plan and signage suggests at least one name change. Between the 1970s and 1990s the breezeway and roof extension were added, and a series of sheds were constructed to the rear of the building. Repairs and remodels took place during the 2010s, including removal of latticework from the breezeway, deconstruction of a plywood rear addition and shed, and removal of the steeple. STAFF COMMENTS Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is under 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 does not appear to demonstrate significance according to City Code: a) Architecture. The building does not appear to convey architectural significance. b) Historical association. There do not appear to be significant historical associations. 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 particular demographic group. e) Landscape feature.

One-story rectangular-plan church building with gabled roof clad in composite shingles, with a gabled covered entryway supported by simple columns and a hip-roofed cupola that once featured a steeple. The building is constructed with CMU and has vertical wood accent cladding at its main façade. Sliding aluminum picture windows at secondary façades are interspersed with smaller fixed-pane and glass block windows. The metal door is flanked by three-paned sidelights. The building at 3503 East 17th Street was constructed in 1964-65 as a meeting and worship space for the Free Church of God and Christ in Jesus Name, a small Pentecostal congregation. Led by Bishop E. Evans of Dallas, the Austin congregation began meeting in 1962, with members periodically meeting at their homes, though the Free Church of God was officially chartered here in 1930. Elder T. Cleveland served as pastor. By 1973, the church had changed its name to True Pentecost Church of the Lord Jesus. In 2005, the Pentecostal Church sold the building, which was then converted to a single-family residence. 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 building does not appear to convey architectural significance. b) Historical association.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION MARCH 23, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0080 1501 CANTERBURY STREET D.3 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1926 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story, rectangular-plan, front-gabled frame bungalow with a partial-width front-gabled partially-inset porch on plain, square wood posts; single and paired 1:1 fenestration. The house was built by local builder Frank Rundell in 1926; the first owners and occupants were Leslie and Orlean Stephens, who lived here until around 1928. Leslie Stephens was a clerk for the Southern Pacific Railroad. The next owners and occupants of the house were Alex K. and Ellen Abramson, who lived here from 1928 until around 1965. Alex Abramson was a city fireman until his retirement in 1955. Following the residency of the Abramsons the house was purchased by Santos and Anita Salinas, who lived here from around 1965 until their deaths. Santos G. Salinas was a maintenance man at the Scarbrough Building in downtown Austin. He passed away in 2004; Anita G. Salinas passed away in 2018. STAFF COMMENTS The house was recommended as contributing to the potential South East Austin historic district by the East Austin Historic Resource Survey (2016). Staff has evaluated this house for designation as a historic landmark and has determined that the house does not meet the criteria for landmark designation as set forth in City Code: a. Architecture. The house is a vernacular bungalow. The house reflects a common style with no architectural distinction. D.3 - 2 b. Historical association. The house was the home of several blue collar working families over the years: a railroad clerk, a city fireman, and a maintenance man. There do not appear to be significant historical associations. 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 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.

Above the transoms is a belt course of raised brick, tapering from top to bottom; above the belt course is a flat-topped parapet with a tablet defined by raised brick. The building has a non-historic continuous metal awning along the south (4th Street) elevation; it replaced a historic metal awning. There is a modern, one-story rooftop addition to the building, set back from the exterior walls. RESEARCH Marks Grain Company, a wholesale and retail feed, hay, and grain business, built this building in phases as its warehouse. At the time the first section was built, around 1910, at the northeast corner of 4th and Brazos Streets, the remainder of the block eastward on 4th Street was still residential; the 1900 Sanborn map shows a line of relatively large houses along the north side of E. 4th Street. Marks Grain Company was established by brothers Harry and Charles Marks before the turn of the 20th century. The 1909-10 city directory, issued just prior to their construction of this building, shows Marks Grain Company at 406 Congress Avenue and their warehouse at the southeast corner of 3rd and Brazos Streets, a block south of the current building. Around 1912, their business address changed to 200-04 E. 4th Street, indicating an expansion to the building. No residences remained to the east of the building along E. 4th Street. By 1920, according to the city directory of that year, the business address for Marks Grain Company was 200-08 E. 4th Street, indicating an additional, and final expansion of the warehouse. Both Harry and Charles Marks died in 1924, within a few months of each other. The business continued out of this building, with James S. Howse as the manager, until around 1931. Lolla Marks, the widow of Harry Marks, is listed as the president of the company in the 1932-33 city directory, the last that the company is listed. Between 1924 and 1931, the Marks successors began leasing …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APRIL 27, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0095 601 W. 26TH STREET D.5 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1890 commercial building. ARCHITECTURE Two-story, rectangular-plan brick commercial building with a decorated cornice; it appears that the ground -floor storefronts have been filled in with masonry; modern replacement windows and doors. RESEARCH The building appears to date from ca. 1890, when Carl Beryman opened a neighborhood store here. Before constructing this building for his store and upstairs residence, Beryman lived just to the south of the current building, and had his store at 325-27 Congress Avenue. His was a variety store, selling dry goods, furnishing goods, boots, shoes, hats, notions, groceries, and feed; he was also an agent for several steamship lines. Around 1904, he brought in his son, also named Carl, and changed the name of the business to C.W. Beryman and Sons. They listed fewer wares in their city directory listings after 1908, concentrating on dry goods and groceries. Around 1913, they listed their business as “general merchandise” after the elder Carl Beryman passed away in 1912. His obituary notes that he was a Swedish immigrant who had been in business in Austin for many years and very well-respected. His son, Carl E. Beryman, took over the store after his father’s death, and operated it out of this building until around 1915. A succession of owners of grocery businesses occupied this building, some living upstairs, until around 1919, when W.M. Powell opened the Powell Quality Grocery, in business until around 1926. After a short period of vacancy, there was another succession of grocery stores; around 1938, the building became Fowler’s Food Store, in business until the mid-1950s, the last commercial enterprise in this building. Carl and Marietta Fowler also had a café, and lived upstairs. Around 1955, the building was converted to four apartments. It is believed that the infill of the ground floor storefronts occurred at that time. An undated, but believed to be early 1960s photograph at the Austin History center shows the current appearance of the building. This building has a very unusual and tragic history – two of the owners of stores in this building died from exposure. Carl E. Beryman died in record cold weather in 1949; Carl L. Fowler wandered into a field in 1957 and froze to death. STAFF COMMENTS The building was listed as a Priority 2 for …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APRIL 27, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0123 2513 EAST 4TH STREET D.6 - 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE Demolish a ca. 1939 house and garage. One-story rock veneer residence with gabled roof covered in composition shingles. Shallow triangular arches surround the covered porch, and decorative iron security bars cover the 6:6 vinyl replacement windows. The street-facing gable end is clad in vertical wood siding. RESEARCH STAFF COMMENTS The home was built in 1937 by developer M.E. Chernosky. Matilde Briseno and his wife Maria purchased it shortly after their marriage in 1939. That same year, Matilde filed a permit to apply the home’s existing rock veneer. Matilde Briseno worked as a groundsman and garage employee of the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company. The Briseno family lived at the home until at least 1959. The house and garage are not recommended for local or National Register designation in the 2016 East Austin Historic Resource Survey. 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 does not appear to demonstrate significance according to City Code: a) Architecture. The building does not appear to convey architectural significance. b) Historical association. The building does not appear to have significant historical associations. 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 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, then release the permit upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package, consisting of photographs of all elevations, a dimensioned sketch plan, and a narrative history, for archiving at the Austin History Center.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION MARCH 23, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0139 1519 E. CESAR CHAVEZ STREET D.7 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1904 commercial building with a ca. 1939 addition. ARCHITECTURE One-story, rectangular-plan, flat-roofed painted brick commercial building with two sections, the eastern half being the older (ca. 1904) of the two, and characterized by a raised brick elongated tablet in the front wall. The western half of the building appears to date from around 1939, and differs from the eastern half in its lack of ornamentation. All original windows and doors on the building have been replaced with modern, aluminum- framed units. The window openings all have raised brick sills. Along the east elevation is a double row of 3 small, rectangular, fixed-sash windows forming a sort of clerestory; each window also has raised brick sills. RESEARCH The section of the building on the corner was built around 1904 as the grocery store of Ernst F.A. Martin, who immigrated from Germany and had previously had a neighborhood grocery on E. 4th Street. Around 1904, he moved his operations to this site, and built this brick store building along with an attached residence to the west. He stayed in business here until around 1911, when he sold the property to William C. Blundell. Blundell also operated a grocery store here and lived in the adjoining house with his family. Blundell stayed in business here until around 1939. He and his wife then moved to 38th and Speedway, and he became an assistant postmaster for the Texas House of Representatives. He sold the grocery business to Thomas and Mamie Beatty, who are believed to have been the ones to enlarge the store, reducing the size of the attached dwelling unit (although it may have been W.C. Blundell, as there is a water service permit to him dating from 1939). Thomas and Mamie Beatty are listed in the 1940 city directory as living on this site, but that is the last directory to indicate a residential use by the owners of the adjacent store. After a few short-term grocery owners after the Beatty Food Store, Benjamin Anderson’s grocery store here became a Red and White Grocery Store franchise around 1954, and remained in business here until around 1958. The building was then occupied by City Auto Parts, a retail auto parts store operated by Charlie C. Rogers and Thomas Landford at …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APRIL 27, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0153 311 W. 6TH STREET D.8 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1927 commercial building. ARCHITECTURE One-story, rectangular-plan, flat-roofed brick commercial building with a decorative stepped parapet and raised brick belt courses in the front wall and corner posts; modern, replacement metal and plate-glass storefront. The original ca. 1927 building has a ca. 1991 addition to the right, which resembles the original building in materials, scale, and ornamentation, but is set back from the façade of the original building. RESEARCH The building appears to date from ca. 1927, and was first the home of a Maytag appliance store, which was in business here until around 1931. Interestingly, prior to the construction of this building, the Salvation Army Hall was on this site, reflecting that this section of downtown still had its rough edges as a part of the city’s old red-light district, with saloons, gambling halls, and warehouses dominating the neighborhood to the south. Italian immigrants Onorato del Curto and Pasquale Caruso opened the Standard Market delicatessen here in 1931; Caruso and his family lived in the house just south of the building for many years. Caruso became the sole proprietor of the business around 1933 and changed the name to Caruso’s Café and Delicatessen, and was one of a very small number of Austin restaurants serving Italian food at the time. Caruso dropped the delicatessen aspect of the business in the mid-1950s; Caruso’s Café was in business here until he passed away in 1966. The building has had several subsequent restaurants since Caruso’s closed, and remains a restaurant space today. There is a ca. 1991 addition to the west of the original building. STAFF COMMENTS The building was listed as a Priority 2 for research in the Comprehensive Cultural Resources Survey (1984). Staff has evaluated this building for designation as a historic landmark and has determined that the building does not meet the criteria for landmark designation as set forth in City Code: a. Architecture. The building is a one-story brick commercial building with some ornamental brickwork in the raised bricks forming patterns in the storefront and the stepped parapet wall; however, the storefront has been modified with the installation of a modern metal-framed window and door system. The building reflects a common type and does not appear to have the architectural distinction to qualify as a historic landmark. …

For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION: April 27, 2020 PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: MAY 26, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: June 11, 2020 ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES No issues have been identified for this request. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject historic building is surrounded by a new eight story student housing building on the northwest corner of West 24th Street and San Gabriel Street, addressed as 2402 San Gabriel C14-2020-0032 2 Street. The two-story limestone building, is a designated Austin Historic Landmark known variously as the Austin Gold Dollar building, Reverend Jacob Fontaine building, Franzetti’s grocery store and Freedman’s building. The request is for a building footprint rezoning of 0.083 acres (3,621square feet) to permit a cocktail lounge/restaurant in the historic building. Several new, midrise residential buildings have been built north of West 24th Street. Some of the new buildings are mixed use with ground floor retail and personal service uses. There are wide sidewalks and under-building parking. These features make the neighborhood walkable. Much of the demand for goods and services in this mixed-use neighborhood will come from the residents and workers within the neighborhood. The stone structure built in 1869, is the last remaining building from Wheatsville, an African- American neighborhood. The building was the home of Rev. Jacob Fontaine, a Baptist minister and former slave known for his community leadership and newspaper publishing. In 1876, Fontaine founded and published the Austin Gold Dollar, a weekly newspaper from his home, the two-story, limestone building. Austin Gold Dollar was the first black newspaper west of the Mississippi River. Fontaine also established the New Hope Missionary Baptist Church in the building in 1887 and later operated a laundry and grocery in the building. The Franzetti family purchased the building in the 1920s and added a wooden porch to the façade in 1923. Members of the Franzetti family lived in the building until the …

I am participating in this meeting as a neighbor within 500 ft. of the proposed demolition of a church located at 1001 Lott Ave. After speaking to Ms. Gaudette of the Planning and Zoning Department, I understand that the building itself does not meet the requirements necessary for preservation however, I wanted to use this opportunity to speak for myself and my neighbors who would like consideration to be paid to the history and culture of the neighborhood by the builders who will ultimately be demolishing this building. I haven’t lived in this neighborhood for that long in comparison to some of the families I have seen leave the neighborhood, selling their single‐story, single‐family homes to builders who have demolished them and replaced them with two‐story, two‐unit modern architecture homes, cheaply and quickly built. The black and latino families I have known and met and interacted with are becoming sparse in this neighborhood, which I understand is an issue facing all of Austin. The building that is being demolished is a Spanish speaking church with long‐ standing ties to this neighborhood and is just another sign of the diminishing presence of minorities in our neighborhood, East Austin, and Austin as a whole. Churches, community buildings, and residences are being demolished all over our neighborhood, to be replaced with out‐of‐character architecture. The Capital Metro #2 was removed from our neighborhood last year, further alienating those in our neighborhood who need access to public transportation to get to their churches and community buildings, likely contributing to the need for this congregation to move since a bus stop was less than 20 feet away from this church. With the congregation not able to access the church with public transportation, it likely was a reason to sell. I understand that this building does not meet the requirements for preservation status but it is a tragedy to demolish this building and replace it with irrelevant residential buildings. When I moved onto my street, it had only single‐story, single‐family homes. And in the past year, we now have 10 new two‐story, two units per lot on five lots, with two more to come shortly. For a street that has only 35 lots, this has significant impact on the culture of our street. The demolition of this church will surely add more units to our streets, continuing to dilute the culture of our neighborhood. I’m using this …
