4010 Avenue H Window Supplement Owner Overview In purchasing 4010 Avenue H we had full knowledge of its historical status and specifically engaged an architect and GC with experience restoring older, historical homes. Our intention is to restore as much as possible and ensure the house is functional not only now but for the next several decades. In evaluating the house during the planning process, it has become apparent that the condition of the windows is incredibly poor and restoring may not be a viable option. The original windows are primed wood with a weight and pulley system. The glass is single pane. The nylon ropes are either ripped or in very weak condition throughout. The frames on the outside are rotted and the glazing is failing. There is also significant wood rotting to the grilles and rail / sash. These issues are significant and apply to every window in the house. Our hope was to find a handful of windows that could be salvaged, but all of them are in the bad shape. We’re proposing replacing these original windows with double hung aluminum clad wood windows in the same design as the existing. The home’s windows are covered by screens that the we intend to replace with similar due to significant rotting. As a result of these screens being mounted in front of the windows, the glazing on the windows is always obscured when viewing from the exterior. If we match the existing window style, mullion pattern and proportions (which we intend to do), the view of the house from the street will be unchanged.

From Lindsay Shillington Via email 9/10/2020 We are proposing to replace the existing windows. The window survey (hot off the press!) is attached. Since we last spoke the owners have selected a builder, Michael Curlee. Michael had his window guy, Glenn Geydos, come take a look at the windows and make a recommendation based on their condition. Glenn's take was as follows: "Original windows are primed wood with weight and pulley systems. Glass is single pane and they are falling apart. The glass is the least efficient it can possibly be. The nylon ropes are ripped and some will need to be redone. The frames on the outside are rotted in the majority of them and the glazing is failing and falling apart. It will cost you twice what new windows will cost to repair them and thats IF you can find someone to do it. Attach those pics we took today so the Hyde Park people can see what you are looking at. I am all for saving the original windows when that is a cost effective measure. In your case it would be a mistake. There are far too many major issues with these windows. You also clearly have water issues inside the walls......." I shared photos of the windows with John Hindman at Red River Restorations to get his input on what it would take to restore them. John said the windows have been neglected and restoration would require extensive work. He mentioned the 6/6 configuration makes the windows more difficult and more expensive to restore vs. a standard 1/1. The cost would be at least 2x a replacement window and candidly the cost is not financially feasible for the owner. We would like to install aluminum clad wood windows that match the existing. We are working with a rep to find a window that has the same sash, mullion & muntin dimensions and is in our budget. We are having the wood screens rebuilt. Both the glazing and the surface of the window are obscured by the screens. Because we will be diligent about matching the existing window profile, the view from the street will remain unchanged.

C.2 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER DISTRICTS HR-2020-110112 3211 OAKMONT BOULEVARD OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER DISTRICT PROPOSAL Construct a 2½-story single-family house. The Commission previously approved demolition of the existing building. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 2½-story irregular-plan house clad in fiber cement siding and capped with a cross-gabled standing-seam roof with a second-story front gable. A shallow hipped roof covers the perimeter of the first floor, including a front porch and carport. An integral garage with a roll-up wood door is set back from the front wall of the house and capped with a gable roof. The house features single and paired fixed and casement clad-wood windows with true divided lites, a multi-lite fully glazed front door, an exterior brick chimney, and wood posts supporting the carport and porch. The first-floor windows and door are capped by transoms. The gable ends are clad in wood shingles. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are used to evaluate projects in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 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 house is differentiated from nearby historic buildings. Its horizontal proportions, roof form, and materials are compatible with the district; the complex massing and window openings could be more compatible with the simple forms and fenestration found in nearby contributing properties. The project somewhat meets this standard. 10) New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired. If the house were removed in the future, the historic district would be unimpaired. The proposed project somewhat meets the standards. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not reviewed. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Comment on and release the plans. The applicant has revised the plans in keeping with the Commission’s recommendation to simplify the primary façade and introduce a more horizontal emphasis.

C.4 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER DISTRICTS HR-2020-127555 1607 NILES ROAD OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER DISTRICT PROPOSAL Construct a detached garage. No changes are proposed to the principal building. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1-story rectangular-plan garage capped by a side-gabled roof covered in wood shingles, clad in wood shingles, and featuring paired folding wood doors facing Woodlawn Boulevard and a sliding wood door facing the interior of the property. One multi-lite casement steel-sash window is located in each gable end. The building has a footprint of 600 square feet and will connect to the principal building with a shallow-pitched steel roof. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are used to evaluate new construction in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 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 building is compatible with the principal building on the property through its side-gabled roof form. Its size, subordinate position, uncomplicated massing, and shingle cladding differentiate it as new construction. The project could be more compatible through its materials, which are not related to or particularly compatible with the stucco-clad house. It somewhat meets this standard. 10) New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired. If the new building were removed in the future, the historic district would be unimpaired. The proposed new building somewhat meets the standards. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Not reviewed. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Comment on and release the plans, with the advisory recommendation that the materials be changed to be more in keeping with the character of the historic house.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 HR-20-127918 3002 BRYKER DRIVE C.5 - 1 PROPOSAL OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT Construct a second-story addition to a single-story ca. 1941 contributing house. Demolish noncontributing detached garage. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish detached garage and deck. 2) Modify existing roofline to create higher ridgeline. 3) Construct a two-story addition at rear of house. The proposed addition is clad in fiber cement siding. It features vinyl windows and a cross-gabled roof with composition shingles. The fenestration pattern is irregular throughout, with fixed, casement, slider, and double-hung windows with two, six, or eight lights. 4) Remove existing front porch and reconstruct with smaller footprint. 5) Replace existing vinyl windows with multilight double-hung and casement windows. RESEARCH The house at 3002 Bryker Drive was built in 1941 by W. D. Anderson. Its sole owner until at least 1959 was Cicely Goff, a mathematics teacher and department head at McCallum and Austin High School. Goff’s brother, Edwin H. Goff, lived with his sister during 1963; she also hosted fellow educators as tenants during the 1940s. Goff was teaching full-time by at least 1918. In the 1940s, she acted as Austin High’s mathematics department chair and served as a leader of the Victory Corps, a program meant to prepare students for wartime and military service in the wake of the Pearl Harbor bombing. In 1966, Goff married her first cousin, agricultural engineer Moulton Babcock Goff, at the age of 77. Goff died in 1978 in Riverside, California. 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 will have a minor impact on existing historic materials. Original windows on historic house have already been replaced with vinyl. The porch reconstruction will alter original fabric at main façade, but it will not significantly impact the view from the street. The roof modification will alter the original ridgeline. 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, …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION AUGUST 24, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0231 2609 SAN PEDRO STREET D.1 - 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Demolish a ca. 1935 house, originally constructed as a duplex. Two-story frame hipped-roof duplex with horizontal wood siding, 6:6 wood windows, composition shingles, and a second-floor balcony. The building at 2609 San Pedro Street was originally a duplex, built in 1935 as a rental property for medical journalist Josephine Draper Daniel. Daniel resided down the block at another rental property on Salado Street until she moved to San Pedro after 1944. After the 1914 death of her husband, physician F. E. Daniel, Josephine Daniel took over his position as editor of the Texas Medical Journal for the next thirty years. F. E. Daniel, a former Confederate army surgeon and Texas Medical College professor, founded the journal in 1885. It later became the most influential medical publication of its time in Texas. Prior to her tenure as editor, Josephine Daniel contributed as founder of the Texas Medical Journal’s “Women’s Department” section since 1912, appealing to a wider demographic than the predominantly male medical field. As editor, Daniel introduced her audience to early tenets of feminism in healthcare and openly contradicted the eugenicist positions championed by her late husband. In a fall 2001 article for The Historian, entitled “The Woman's Department: Maternalism and Feminism in the Texas Medical Journal,” historian Courtney Shah describes Daniel’s evolution as a journalist: Josephine Daniel, although not openly recommending a radical feminist political platform, quietly introduced feminist ideas to her maternalist audience as well as many male physicians. The Women’s Department walked a narrow path between deference to medical and societal experts, and a demand to liberate women from the very institutions the experts represented: the sexual hierarchy of the family, the medical profession, and the state […] [As editor] she [promoted] her own two-pronged campaign of reform: maternalist issues such as reducing infant mortality and pure food laws, and the more radical feminist edge of birth control and women’s emancipation. (Shah 2001, 96-97) Daniel wrote frankly about the importance of reproductive education, stating that "The health and happiness of every girl demands that she receive when approaching adolescence an intelligent presentation of the vital life process” (95). In 1929, Daniel sold the journal and devoted her time to women’s health and literacy advocacy in Austin. She led an active civic life as a state board …

"The department you are establishing... along this line, giving women good, wholesome knowledge without the taint of quackery is a most worthy undertaking and deserves hearty support,"1 he wrote. The Texas Medical Journal, the most popular and long-standing independent medical journal in the state, was the creation of Dr. Ferdinand Eugene Daniel. His wife, Josephine Draper Daniel, founded the Woman's Department as an insert within the pages of the TMJ. Like so many journalists and activists in the Progressive Era, Josephine used maternalism as a justification to expand women's roles in the public sphere, as well as to justify her own ambitions. But while she usually stressed conservative reforms that did not challenge the dominant model of family life or women's place within it, Josephine Daniel simultaneously presented two curious lines of dissent. First, she challenged the TM/s (and thus her husband's) pro-eugenics stance; and second, she introduced a veneer of radical feminism into the publication, expressed mainly in a more open attitude toward women's sexuality. As Americans coped with the harsh realities of industrialization, urbanization, and immigration in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, a reform-minded cadre of well educated, middle-class men and women saw the possibility for change to eradicate the …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION AUGUST 24, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0293 2816 SAN PEDRO STREET D.1 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1924 house. ARCHITECTURE 2816 San Pedro is a 1.5-story stucco residence with rectangular Cape Cod plan. It is side-gabled with a composite-shingle roof, three gabled dormers with 1:1 wood windows and lap siding, and a gabled portico supported by Classical columns. At the main elevation’s southernmost bay is a bank of 4:4 and 6:6 mulled windows framed with decorative shutters. The northernmost bay contains a single 12:12 window with similar shutters. The inset door is surrounded by a fanlight and sidelights. A hipped-roof addition to the south features 2:2 windows and a secondary double- door entry. A detached two-story garage apartment is northwest of the main house. RESEARCH The building at 2816 San Pedro Street was constructed for the Wyse family around 1924. William Riley Wyse, an independent oilman with ties to Austin’s power and water company, passed away shortly after its construction. Ellen Borroughs Wyse, his spouse, remained there with her son and daughter-in-law. Ellen Wyse was a prominent writer, editor, and business owner in Austin. Early in her career, Wyse served as the society editor for the Austin Statesman, then expanded her literary horizons to include her life’s passion: advertising. She established Gossip Advertising in 1911 at the age of thirty-eight, beginning with a single-page newspaper insert. By the 1920s, Gossip had grown into a multi-page publication and household name among Austinites, particularly women. The paper’s offices were located first at the Austin National Bank Building and later at the Scarbrough Building, as noted on its state historical marker. After more than thirty years of continuous publication, Wyse’s declining health shuttered Gossip’s pressroom in 1945. In addition to owning and operating a successful business—an extraordinary accomplishment for a woman in the early twentieth century—Wyse used her talent and charisma to reach out to other women writers. She presented to the Texas Presswomen’s Association across the state, sharing strategies for entering the male-dominated advertising field and establishing successful marketing tactics with a targeted and loyal readership. She was a founding member of the Quill Club (later, the Kwill Klub), a women’s organization that blossomed from a small collection of writers to a thriving consortium whose meetings included educators, librarians, professional authors (including Josephine Daniels, editor of the Texas Medical Journal, who also lived on San Pedro), prominent …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-000352 1807 W. 36TH STREET D.4 - 1 Demolish a ca. 1939 house and detached garage. PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story L-plan house with shallow eaves, steeply pitched front gable, shed-roofed covered porch supported by turned posts, and 6:6 wood windows. The house is clad in asbestos shingles and the garage in board-and-batten siding. The house and garage at 1807 W. 36th Street was built as a rental property in 1939 by Gus Borner. Its first occupants were Kermit and Mildred Dillard. Dillard was an electrician who also worked in real estate; the Dillards married in 1937. Though they divorced in 1940, both are listed as living in the house until 1941. Dillard was later arrested and imprisoned for shooting a neighbor at 1901 W. 39th Street, though he later appealed his five-year sentence. After Dillard’s departure, the home was briefly occupied by automotive shop owners Harold T. and Clara Armstrong. The home’s longest-term resident was Minerva Davis, a 30-year veteran employee of the Selective Services System. A longtime Austin resident, Davis retired to Fort Worth in the late 1960s, leaving her home of nearly twenty years. 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 has Tudor Revival and Minimal Traditional influences. b) Historical association. The building does not appear to have 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 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.

M E M O R A N D U M TO: Historic Landmark Commission FROM: Historic Preservation Office staff DATE: September 24, 2020 Comparison of base zoning and current land use SUBJECT: At the July 24, 2020 meeting of the Historic Landmark Commission, the Commission requested that staff look analytically at historic landmarks in the central core of Austin to determine disconnects between their land use and zoning. At the June 22 meeting, Commissioner Heimsath expressed concern that, due to extreme financial pressure, properties not thought to be at risk have been threatened by untenable proposals that do not prioritize their preservation. This analysis would identify the level of risk such that the Commission can prioritize potential solutions. Commissioner Valenzuela also requested analysis for the potential historic landmarks and districts recommended in the 2016 East Austin Historic Resource Survey. The attached maps and reference guide compile base zoning, maximum allowable height, and maximum allowable F. A. R. (floor area ratio) data for properties with historic landmark overlay zoning in central Austin and the 2016 East Austin survey area, as well as properties identified in the 2016 East Austin Historic Resource Survey as potentially eligible for designation as a City of Austin landmark or listing as an individual resource on the National Register of Historic Places. The map packet includes the following illustrations: - Maximum height by zoning category for central-city landmarks at 1:33,000 and 1:20,000 scales. These maps exclude buildings with single-family base zoning. - Maximum F. A. R. by zoning category for central-city landmarks at 1:33,000 and 1:20,000 scales. These - maps exclude buildings with single-family base zoning. Base zoning imagery for existing and recommended landmarks and existing and recommended National Register of Historic Places properties within 2016 East Austin Historic Resource Survey boundaries at 1:33,000. - Maximum height by zoning category for East Austin landmarks, survey-identified eligible landmarks, and survey-identified eligible NRHP properties at 1:33,000. The map excludes buildings with single- family base zoning. - Maximum F. A. R. by zoning category for East Austin landmarks, survey-identified eligible landmarks, and survey-identified eligible NRHP properties at 1:33,000. The map excludes buildings with single- family base zoning.

A.1 - 1 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET HLC DATE: PC DATE: July 27, 2020 August 24, 2020 September 28, 2020 CASE NUMBER: HDP-2020-0214 APPLICANT: Historic Landmark Commission HISTORIC NAME: Chrysler Air-Temp House, Air-Conditioned Village WATERSHED: Shoal Creek ADDRESS OF PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE: 2502 Park View Drive ZONING FROM: SF-2 to SF-2-H Council District: 7 SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Commission not recommend historic zoning on this house as the owners of the property have proposed a plan for the rehabilitation of the house that will preserve the look and character of the house from the street. The owners have complied with the recommendations of the Architectural Review Committee, and have presented a plan (attached) that maintains the existing proportions and horizontal lines of the existing house, including decorative features such as the perforated brick walls and the clerestory windows, and plan to replace asbestos panels in the house with a less-toxic synthetic spandrel material that will present the same look as existing. Windows will be replaced in the existing frames with double-insulated glass. The owner’s proposal is very sensitive to the historic character of the house and the importance and context of the neighborhood. With this plan, staff is very comfortable in recommending against historic zoning because the house will be preserved; the appearance and character of the house from the public view will remain intact. QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: Architecture, historical associations, community value. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: July 27, 2020: Initiated historic zoning. Vote: 7-2-1 (Jacob and Papavasiliou opposed; McWhorter off-dais. August 24, 2020: Postponed at the owner’s request.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0231 2609 SAN PEDRO STREET A.2 - 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Demolish a ca. 1935 house, originally constructed as a duplex. Two-story frame hipped-roof duplex with horizontal wood siding, 6:6 wood windows, composition shingles, and a second-floor balcony. The building at 2609 San Pedro Street was originally a duplex, built in 1935 as a rental property for medical journalist Josephine Draper Daniel. Daniel resided down the block at another rental property on Salado Street until she moved to San Pedro after 1944. After the 1914 death of her husband, physician F. E. Daniel, Josephine Daniel took over his position as editor of the Texas Medical Journal for the next thirty years. F. E. Daniel, a former Confederate army surgeon and Texas Medical College professor, founded the journal in 1885. It later became the most influential medical publication of its time in Texas. Prior to her tenure as editor, Josephine Daniel contributed as founder of the Texas Medical Journal’s “Women’s Department” section since 1912, appealing to a wider demographic than the predominantly male medical field. As editor, Daniel introduced her audience to early tenets of feminism in healthcare and openly contradicted the eugenicist positions championed by her late husband. In a fall 2001 article for The Historian, entitled “The Woman's Department: Maternalism and Feminism in the Texas Medical Journal,” historian Courtney Shah describes Daniel’s evolution as a journalist: Josephine Daniel, although not openly recommending a radical feminist political platform, quietly introduced feminist ideas to her maternalist audience as well as many male physicians. The Women’s Department walked a narrow path between deference to medical and societal experts, and a demand to liberate women from the very institutions the experts represented: the sexual hierarchy of the family, the medical profession, and the state […] [As editor] she [promoted] her own two-pronged campaign of reform: maternalist issues such as reducing infant mortality and pure food laws, and the more radical feminist edge of birth control and women’s emancipation. (Shah 2001, 96-97) Daniel wrote frankly about the importance of reproductive education, stating that "The health and happiness of every girl demands that she receive when approaching adolescence an intelligent presentation of the vital life process” (95). In 1929, Daniel sold the journal and devoted her time to women’s health and literacy advocacy in Austin. She led an active civic life as a state board …

"The department you are establishing... along this line, giving women good, wholesome knowledge without the taint of quackery is a most worthy undertaking and deserves hearty support,"1 he wrote. The Texas Medical Journal, the most popular and long-standing independent medical journal in the state, was the creation of Dr. Ferdinand Eugene Daniel. His wife, Josephine Draper Daniel, founded the Woman's Department as an insert within the pages of the TMJ. Like so many journalists and activists in the Progressive Era, Josephine used maternalism as a justification to expand women's roles in the public sphere, as well as to justify her own ambitions. But while she usually stressed conservative reforms that did not challenge the dominant model of family life or women's place within it, Josephine Daniel simultaneously presented two curious lines of dissent. First, she challenged the TM/s (and thus her husband's) pro-eugenics stance; and second, she introduced a veneer of radical feminism into the publication, expressed mainly in a more open attitude toward women's sexuality. As Americans coped with the harsh realities of industrialization, urbanization, and immigration in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, a reform-minded cadre of well educated, middle-class men and women saw the possibility for change to eradicate the …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION AUGUST 24, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0293 2816 SAN PEDRO STREET A.3 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1924 house. ARCHITECTURE 2816 San Pedro is a 1.5-story stucco residence with rectangular Cape Cod plan. It is side-gabled with a composite-shingle roof, three gabled dormers with 1:1 wood windows and lap siding, and a gabled portico supported by Classical columns. At the main elevation’s southernmost bay is a bank of 4:4 and 6:6 mulled windows framed with decorative shutters. The northernmost bay contains a single 12:12 window with similar shutters. The inset door is surrounded by a fanlight and sidelights. A hipped-roof addition to the south features 2:2 windows and a secondary double- door entry. A detached two-story garage apartment is northwest of the main house. RESEARCH The building at 2816 San Pedro Street was constructed for the Wyse family around 1924. William Riley Wyse, an independent oilman with ties to Austin’s power and water company, passed away shortly after its construction. Ellen Borroughs Wyse, his spouse, remained there with her son and daughter-in-law. Ellen Wyse was a prominent writer, editor, and business owner in Austin. Early in her career, Wyse served as the society editor for the Austin Statesman, then expanded her literary horizons to include her life’s passion: advertising. She established Gossip Advertising in 1911 at the age of thirty-eight, beginning with a single-page newspaper insert. By the 1920s, Gossip had grown into a multi-page publication and household name among Austinites, particularly women. The paper’s offices were located first at the Austin National Bank Building and later at the Scarbrough Building, as noted on its state historical marker. After more than thirty years of continuous publication, Wyse’s declining health shuttered Gossip’s pressroom in 1945. In addition to owning and operating a successful business—an extraordinary accomplishment for a woman in the early twentieth century—Wyse used her talent and charisma to reach out to other women writers. She presented to the Texas Presswomen’s Association across the state, sharing strategies for entering the male-dominated advertising field and establishing successful marketing tactics with a targeted and loyal readership. She was a founding member of the Quill Club (later, the Kwill Klub), a women’s organization that blossomed from a small collection of writers to a thriving consortium whose meetings included educators, librarians, professional authors (including Josephine Daniels, editor of the Texas Medical Journal, who also lived on San Pedro), prominent …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS B.4 - 1 SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 C14H-2010-0024 WILDER HOUSE 1412 WATHEN AVENUE PROPOSAL Replace the metal roof with a similar metal roof. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The applicant proposes to replace the existing metal roof with a new metal roof, as it is beginning to fail and the existing roof is no longer manufactured. The existing roof is original to the house. The house was designed in the French Provincial style by Houston architect Armon E. Mabry; the roof, with its distinctive lines, is integral to the design of the house. The applicant proposes to replace the front one-third of the roof with a custom product to match the existing failing sections of the roof. The proposed product for the front of the house is Kynar 1.5 Snap-Lock system with a classic batten; this is a custom product that comes as close to the existing standing seam metal roof as possible in terms of material thickness and dimensions. The existing standing seam and batten is 2 inches wide; the proposed replacement will be just under 2 inches wide. The existing standing seam and batten is 1.75 inches high; the replacement will be 1.5 inches tall. The differences between the dimensions of the existing and proposed roof are between 1/8 and ¼ of an inch. The proposed roof will be 24-gauge metal. For the middle section of the roof, the applicant proposes a Kynar 1.5” tall Snap-Lock 24g metal roof system with a seam of three-quarters of an inch. This section of the roof is not visible from the street. 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: The existing metal roof is failing and must be replaced to ensure the preservation of the house. 5) Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved. Evaluation: The existing ca. 1950 metal roof is no longer manufactured; the applicant is proposing a modern replacement that will be visually indistinguishable from the existing. 6) Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS B.5 - 1 SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 C14H-1982-0004 MILLER-SEARIGHT HOUSE 5400 FREIDRICH LANE PROPOSAL Replace all windows in the house. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The applicant proposes to replace all the windows in the historic house with a solid vinyl window as shown in the accompanying literature. The applicant has conducted a survey of the condition of all the windows in the house and has chosen to replace them all at the same time to maintain uniformity of appearance. Some of the windows are beyond repair. 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: Replacing all of the windows in the house will affect the historic character of the property. The original wood windows are a big part of the historic appearance and character of the house. 5) Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved. Evaluation” The existing wood windows are a distinctive material on this property. The proposed solid vinyl windows will not present the same appearance. 6) 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 has conducted a window survey to determine the condition of each window on the house and its prospect for repair or rehabilitation. Any windows that are beyond repair due to their deterioration should be replaced in kind, or another wood window that maintains the profile and configuration of the existing historic windows. Design standards in place for local historic districts in Austin prohibit the use of vinyl windows on any street-facing elevation. 9) New additions and adjacent or related construction will be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired. Evaluation: If the Commission approves the proposed windows, they could be replaced at a …

C.1 - 1 PROPOSAL APPLICATION FOR A PERMIT WITHIN A NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION SIXTH STREET NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 HR-20-107348 319-323 E. 6TH STREET Construct a tall one-story addition to three contributing buildings within the Sixth Street National Register Historic District. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The applicant proposes the construction of a continuous one-story addition across three one- story buildings that would be contributing to the Sixth Street National Register Historic District. The proposed addition will be set back 15 feet back from the front wall of the existing buildings, with an open deck in front. The applicant proposes to remove an existing deck cover from the building, giving the proposed addition a clean look from the street. The existing metal railing on the building will be painted in a muted tone to lessen its visibility. The addition will have painted horizontal lap siding, a wooden cornice treatment that takes its cue from the one-story buildings on the street, aluminum and glass overhead doors; aluminum and glass single leaf doors opening onto the deck will have transoms, keeping the fenestration line even and clean. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are used to evaluate projects in National Register historic districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1. A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires minimal change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and environment. Evaluation: These are three commercial buildings that have become bars and night clubs over the years. The use of the proposed addition is not incompatible with the long-standing use of the ground-floor buildings, and is set back 15 feet from the wall to provide a visual distance between old and new. 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. Evaluation: These three buildings are one-story commercial buildings. The proposed addition is one story with a taller cornice, but the height of the fenestration on the addition comports to the height of the fenestration and storefronts on the ground story. The proposed addition is recessed and fades into the background; it is very compatible with the historic character of the existing building. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0274 815 RUTHERFORD PLACE AND 1204 ALTA VISTA AVENUE D.1 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1930 house at 815 Rutherford Place and a ca. 1948 house at 1204 Alta Vista Avenue. Both houses are on the same lot. ARCHITECTURE The ca. 1930 house at 815 Rutherford Place is a one-story, rectangular-plan, side-gabled, brick veneer Tudor Revival-style house with a central, steep-front-gabled entry bay containing a round-arched door; single and paired 1:1 fenestration. The ca. 1948 house at 1204 Alta Vista Avenue is a one-story, L-plan frame house with a partial-width inset porch. Fenestration consists of single and double 1:1 windows with Colonial Revival-styled 6:6 wooden screens. RESEARCH The house at 815 Rutherford Place was built around 1930 by Fred W. Sassman, the proprietor of a dry-cleaning business who later became a tailor. Fred Sassman and his wife lived in this house until around 1936. The house was vacant for a short period of time before being purchased by attorney John C. Butler and his wife, Ruby. John C. Butler passed away in 1963; Ruby Butler continued to live here after his death (there is a newspaper article dating from 1966 about their son that references this house as their home), but given current limitations on research, it is not possible to determine how much longer Ruby Butler lived in this house. John C. and Ruby Butler built the house at 1204 Alta Vista Avenue on the rear of their lot in 1948, and held it as a rental property. For the first ten years (until about 1958), the house was rented by Clarence and Anna Mae Waters. Clarence Waters was in the food service industry. After returning from duty in World War II, he became a manager of one of Harry Akin’s Night Hawk Restaurants. Immediately after beginning his job with Night Hawk, and before moving into this house, the city directory shows him living at the location of the old Night Hawk at South Congress and Riverside Drive. He and Anna Mae, who worked as a hostess at the Night Hawk, moved into this house, where they lived until around 1958. A newspaper article from 1954 shows Clarence Waters as associated with one of the restaurants in the new Terrace Motor Hotel on South Congress Avenue; by 1957, he was the sales manager for Polar Ice Cream.

D.5 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 28, 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.6 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 28, 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 …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0362 3017 E. 14TH STREET D.7 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1947 house and a ca. 1950 garage. ARCHITECTURE The house is a one-story, rectangular-plan, clipped front gabled stuccoed frame bungalow with a front-gabled independent porch on battered wood posts and stuccoed piers; metal storm louvers cover all the historic fenestration. The garage is a one-story, rectangular plan stuccoed frame garage with additional fenestrated space to the rear. RESEARCH City building permit records show that Walter E. Moore built this house in 1947, although the style of the house appears to be much earlier so it may have been moved on to this site rather than an original build here. Walter E. Moore was a carpenter and builder; his wife, Mattie, was a beauty operator who worked in an African-American beauty shop prior to moving into this house; once here, she opened her own beauty shop, Dutch’s, in the ca. 1950 garage. African-American beauty shops were generally a site for community gathering, and especially in the 1950s, served as natural gathering places for women interested in civil rights. There is no information at this time as to whether Mattie Moore’s Dutch’s Beauty Shop served in any meaningful capacity as a location for discussion and/or action for civil rights during that period, however, undertaking the establishment of a beauty business on a residential property does reflect some of the norms of the time. Rules regarding beauty salons were especially restrictive for many African-American entrepreneurs in Austin. They were generally subject to more frequent and more rigorous inspections to retain their business licenses. One rule required that the beauty salon had to be completely separated from any residential use of the property, thus likely requiring the construction of a the separate garage and shop seen here for Mattie Moore to be able to operate. Construction of a separate shop posed a greater economic investment into the business that many African-American women could not afford. Mattie Moore had worked in an established beauty shop prior to living in this house, and this property reflects the business practices of the day forced upon African- American women. The house is located in McKinley Heights, a mid-twentieth century African-American neighborhood noted for its middle class housing and character. Its location may also be relevant in the interpretation of significance for this property. STAFF COMMENTS The …

B.3 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS HR-2020-125268 602 HIGHLAND AVENUE SMOOT/TERRACE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT PROPOSAL Construct a second-floor rear addition and a detached side carport. 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 The second-floor addition is set back 27’ from the front wall of the historic house. The addition has a front-gabled roof covered in metal to match existing, wood cladding to match existing, and casement and fixed clad-wood windows with a 1-over-1 lite pattern with a true muntin. A roof deck set into the south slope of the existing gable roof is set back 7’ from the front wall of the house and features horizontal steel railings. A steel staircase is proposed to replace an existing wood staircase at the rear of the building. A detached steel-framed carport with a steel shade structure is also proposed. The carport will be located next to the south wall of the house and protrude just past the front wall. 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 addition is clad in matching wood siding and has clad-wood windows with similar dimensions and lite configurations as the historic windows. The casement windows and roof deck differentiate the addition from the historic house. The project meets this standard. 3. Design new additions that are subordinate to and do not overpower the historic building. The 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 addition does not entail the removal or obstruction of historic exterior features within 15 feet of the front wall. It meets this standard. New Construction 1.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS (PARTIAL) GF-2020-119343 1113 W. 22ND HALF STREET D.3 - 1 PROPOSAL Construct second-floor and rear additions, modify the entrance and chimney, change window openings, replace windows, demolish a detached garage, and construct an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). ARCHITECTURE 1-story, rectangular-plan house capped by a combination hipped and gabled roof and clad in brick. Features include 1-over-1 wood-sash windows and an exterior brick chimney. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The proposed project includes six parts: 1) Remove brick and stone knee walls at the uncovered entry porch and construct a new covered front porch. The new porch features arched brick openings, a gabled roof, and stucco cladding. 2) Construct a second-floor addition set back approximately 12’ from the front wall of the house. The addition is clad in lap cementitious siding and features a hipped roof, an eyebrow dormer clad in stucco, and fixed and casement windows; the sash material is yet to be determined. 3) Cover the brick chimney with stucco and alter its form. 4) Alter most window openings. 5) Replace all windows with fixed and casement windows, sash material to be determined. 6) Construct a 1-story rear addition 7) Demolish a detached garage. The garage is capped with a hipped roof and clad in wood siding, and features at least one 6-over-6 wood sash window and paired wood garage doors. 8) Construct a 2-story accessory dwelling unit (ADU). The building has a footprint of 633 square feet, a hipped roof, and lap cementitious siding. Features include casement and other windows, some arched; a fully glazed door; and a corner entry porch with a Classical Revival-style column. 9) Construct a wood deck and trellis between the principal building and new ADU. RESEARCH The property was occupied by a series of short-term renters, some of whom were prominent in the city, state, and country. Walter S. Adkins (occupant ca. 1932-35) was a nationally known geologist who worked at UT’s Bureau of Economic Geology. Ralph Yarborough served as a state district judge when he lived in the property (1937). He was elected a U.S. senator in 1957, where he broke with other Southern legislators to champion progressive causes. Stuart S. and Matilda Dabaghi Nemir lived in the property in 1941, before moving into their longtime home next door. According to neighbors, the Nemirs owned a dry goods store on Guadalupe Street before purchasing then-decade-old …

While the second review was an improvement, the OWANA Zoning Committee opposes the second story rear addition for the following reasons. 1. New additions should be compatible with the historic building by reflecting the scale and massing. (Smoot/Terrace Park design standard requirement) The historic homes in the Smoot/Terrace Park LHD are one or two story homes. Because the basement exemption was given at a little over 1% compliance Unit 1 at 602 Highland does not have to call the walkout basement which is largely open to the south and west the first floor. So in fairness the second story rear addition will really be a third story addition. Side Note: Since the basement exemption only complies at a little over 1%, the Zoning Committee found it important to take a close look. The walk out basement addition has been allowed 1345 SF which we are not questioning but it is 1007 SF more than the allowable FAR SF without the exemption. The second story rear Crow’s Nest addition will be another 338 SF over the allowable FAR limit and would be considered a third story addition without the basement exemption. 2. Design new additions that are subordinate to and do not overpower the historic building. (Smoot/Terrace Park design standard requirement) The two perspectives shown at the reviews attempt to indicate the addition will not overpower the original contributing home. Highland Avenue is sloping so the addition may stand out more at different perspectives. The rear addition as well as the spiral staircase will certainly be overpowering to the adjacent neighbor to the north. At …

I also serve on the Zoning Committee and I chair the Land Development Code Revision ad hoc Committee. In these roles I've researched many historical properties and discussed with residents their efforts to restore their vintage homes so that they may provide shelter for many decades to come. This Tudor revival-house multiple certainly captures the historic charm of the area. But I also think of it as a small footprint that is likely much more affordable than the many $1- 2M+ homes recently built in our neighborhood that only a handful of people can afford, thus diminishing the ecomonmic diversity that Travis Heights now enjoys. The tax credits associated with the preservation of vintage homes also helps homeowners afford to stay here. My neighbors were able to enlarge their own 1925 home substantially yet gain historic designation through thoughtful design (and enjoy a tax 1 exemption to boot, possibly keeping it affordable for them in retirement). This tax abatement would render the home much more affordable and the developer would benefit from a larger market of people who could qualify for …
