HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION OCTOBER 26, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0293 2816 SAN PEDRO STREET A.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 …
A.2 - 1 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET 10/26/2020 10/27/2020 HLC DATE: PC DATE: CASE NUMBER: C14H-2020-0087 APPLICANT: Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas Baker LLC HISTORIC NAME: Baker School WATERSHED: Waller Creek Council District: 9 ADDRESS OF PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE: 3908 Avenue B ZONING FROM: GR-HD-NCCP-NP to GR-HD-H-NCCD-NP SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the proposed zoning change to designate the former Baker School as a historic landmark. QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: Historical significance and community value. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The former Baker School is contributing to the Hyde Park Local Historic District. ACTION: PHONE: 974-6454 ORDINANCE NUMBER: CITY COUNCIL DATE: ORDINANCE READINGS: 1ST 2ND 3RD CASE MANAGER: Steve Sadowsky NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION: Hyde Park Neighborhood Association BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: Architecture: While City Code does not allow a contributing building within a local historic district to be designated as a historic landmark for its architectural significance, the former Baker School is worthy of an architectural description as it reflects the work of three of the most prominent architects in Austin in the early- to mid-20th century. Built in 1911, the building is a raised two-story institutional building with a raised full basement. The building is constructed of Austin Common buff brick with poured concrete accents. The building has bands of five 2:2 windows with transoms in the principal block (these, while believed to be of historic age, are not original); the raised basement level also features bands of five 2:2 windows, but without transoms. The principal entry faces Avenue B, and has a brick portico that once had Doric columns and arched sides; the portico frames the raised and recessed entry, which features a double set of glazed wood doors. The portico has a small gablet at its center, echoing the A.2 - 2 gablet on the top of the building which has the inscription “Baker School.” Additional decorative aspects of the building include concrete bracket-like moldings in the at the top of the pilasters defining the bays, and a prominent cornice. At the north and south ends of the original 1911 building are rectangular-shaped additions matching the height and configuration of the original block. These additions project proud of the main block of the building, and have a pair of 2:2 windows on each floor, all without transoms. The solid appearance of the building hearkens to the Neo-Classical architecture popular for commercial and institutional buildings in the early …

For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see page 2. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION October 26, 2020 Scheduled for Historic Landmark Commission PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: October 27, 2020 Scheduled for Planning Commission CITY COUNCIL ACTION: December 3, 2020 Planned to be Scheduled for City Council ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES There are no issues at this time and staff has not received any written or emailed comments in favor of or in opposition to this rezoning case. C14-2020-0097 2 CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: This property is approximately 1.32 acres in size and is comprised of two tracts. It is surrounded by the following zoning districts: SF-3 to the north; across the railroad right-of-way SF-3-NP to the east; across W Mary Street CS, SF-3 and SF-6-CO to the south; and across Evergreen Avenue CS-MU-CO and CS to the west. Please refer to Exhibit A: Zoning Map and Exhibit B: Aerial Map for surrounding context. Tract 1 of this property is currently zoned CS and SF-3 and is being requested to be rezoned to CS-MU. Tract 2 of this property is currently zoned MF-3-H and is being requested to be rezoned to CS-MU-H. This portion of the property was rezoned to include the historic landmark combining district zoning in 1977. Please refer to Exhibit C: Historic Ordinance for relevant portions of that rezoning case for this property. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought.

The portion of the property currently zoned SF-3 contains a residential rental property. By …

B.1 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION OCTOBER 26, 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 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 15’-2” 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 and flush with the south wall of the house. 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. New construction shall have the same street orientation and distance from adjacent …

C.3 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS OCTOBER 26, 2020 HR-20-144852 1700 W. 32ND STREET OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1952 house and construct a new residence. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish the existing building and salvage stone for reuse. 2) Construct a new primary building. The proposed 2-story house will be clad with salvaged masonry and stucco. It has a metal roof with compound roofline and varying slopes. The north elevation features a partial-width flat-roofed porch with steel columns, covered entryways, and an inset balcony. Its irregularly placed windows are undivided and fixed. The south elevation contains a similar covered entryway, a protruding picture window, and a single central undivided window at the second floor. The east elevation features a full-width porch with steel columns, sliding doors, and flat-roofed dormer with fixed windows. The west elevation has a shallower roofline with flat- and shed-roofed dormers, with fixed windows of varying sizes scattered throughout. 3) Construct a detached auxiliary building. The proposed 2-story garage apartment has a metal roof with “wounded dove” roofline. It is clad in stucco and features fixed irregularly placed windows to match the primary building. Its east elevation contains a large flat-roofed dormer, while its south elevation contains a double entryway covered by a flat metal roof with steel supports. ARCHITECTURE 1700 W. 32nd Street is a single-story Ranch-style house with an L-shaped plan, a cross-gabled and hipped roof with deep eaves, and coursed ashlar masonry veneer. Its main elevation features large multi-light metal picture windows, while its secondary elevations contain multi-light metal casement windows. RESEARCH The house at 1700 W. 32nd Street was constructed in 1952 by Jack Birge, who also constructed the building next door at 1702 W. 32nd Street. Its first occupants were Mark and Bertha Wentz, who lived in the home until at least 1959. The Wentzes moved to Austin in 1954 after Mark Wentz was appointed as a fire commissioner to the State Board of Insurance Commissioners. As Fire Commissioner, Wentz was involved in a series of reassignments, internal investigations, and statewide oversight that spanned the mid-1950s, as Governor Price Daniel proposed sweeping reorganizations of the State Board of Insurance Commissioners that would remove his predecessor’s appointments from the board—including Wentz. The Wentzes lived in the home until at least 1959. By 1964, it had become the Peter Pan School, which …

NEIGHBORHOOD BOARD CONCERN #1: WINDOW DETAILING The board expressed concern about the articulation of windows in the facades. They do not like windows that are in the same plane as the exterior cladding because it looks cheap. All windows will either be set back from the exterior surface with a casing, or protruding out from wall as a deep bay window. This will achieve depth and create detail shadows on the facades. Typical window casing, window set back from exterior cladding Bay window 6 October 5, 2020 Jefferson HouseMurray Legge Architecture LLC NEIGHBORHOOD BOARD CONCERN #2: DORMER SHAPE The board expressed their disapproval of the three box dormers of different sizes facing Jefferson Street. They were deemed out of character for the neighborhood. MLA revised the dormers by eliminating one, and combining the remaining two in a single traditional dormer with a shed roof. Revised Dormer with single shed roof 7 October 5, 2020 Jefferson HouseMurray Legge Architecture LLC NEIGHBORHOOD BOARD CONCERN #3: REUSE OF STONE The board expressed the desire to see the stone cladding of the existing house reused in some way. MLA proposes to use the stone as a low landscape element as a planter or low dividing wall that will be visible to the public. Behind it, a full hight fence will provide privacy from the busy street and be softened by climbing vines. The final extent of the stone planters will be determined after a material inventory of the existing masony is calculated.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS OCTOBER 26, 2020 HR 2020-145916 1801 MOHLE DRIVE OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT C.5 - 1 PROPOSAL Construct a new house. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct a single-story house. The proposed house has a cross-gabled roof with shallow eaves, painted brick veneer, wood siding, a partial-width porch and carport supported by wood columns, and a metal roof. Its single and paired aluminum-clad wood windows have 2, 4, and 6 lights. Painted wood shutters accent the main elevation’s windows, and the front door is flanked by divided sidelights. Rear and side elevations feature a screened porch and tapered brick chimney. 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: 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 house is differentiated from the historic structures elsewhere on the block by its use of modern window materials and lighting patterns, its metal roof, and its painted brick exterior. Its massing, size, scale, and architectural features are compatible with the historic district’s character. 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 proposed house were removed in the future, the integrity of the district would be unimpaired.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION OCTOBER 26, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HR-2020-146817 1703 WOODLAWN BOULEVARD C.6 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1929 house and construct a new house. ARCHITECTURE The existing house is an L-plan Spanish Colonial Revival-styled stuccoed frame house with hints of Art Deco detailing, especially in the front door; metal-framed windows; raised parapet at the entry. RESEARCH The house was built in 1929 for Nick Ferris and his wife, Bolling, both of whom were involved in the operation of downtown’s Marie Antoinette Shop for ladies’ fashions. Nick Ferris was the son of S. Ferris, a Lebanese immigrant who first settled in Manor and moved to Austin, where he established several businesses, including S. Ferris Sons, a dry goods store on E. 6th Street, and several clothing stores, including the Marie Antoinette, known for years as one of Austin’s most upscale ladies’ clothing stores. Nick Ferris would travel the world to bring the latest fashions to the women of Austin. Bolling Ferris, an interior decorator, was responsible for the design of the new Marie Antoinette Shop on Congress Avenue in 1935. Nick and Bolling Ferris lived in this house until around 1943. Their home on Woodlawn Boulevard was distinctive for its style in a neighborhood otherwise full of Colonial and Tudor Revival houses. Edna Hammerman, the proprietor of a prominent insurance adjusting firm in Austin, rented the house in the mid-1940s. Thomas J. and Glenda Prather then purchased the house around 1946, and lived here until around 1964. Thomas Prather was an accountant for the State Highway Department who later became the director of the Texas Congress of Parents and Teachers. Glenda Prather was an artist. STAFF COMMENTS The house was listed with no priority for research in the Comprehensive Cultural Resources Survey (1984), and was listed as non-contributing to the Old West Austin National Register Historic District. The applicant has furnished photographs depicting the poor condition of the existing house. Staff has evaluated this house for designation as a historic landmark and has determined that the house may meet the criteria for landmark designation as set forth in City Code: a. Architecture. The house is a very good example of Spanish Colonial Revival residential architecture, somewhat of an anomaly in this section of West Austin. The house maintains a high degree of integrity and may rise to the level of architectural significance. b. Historical association. The house …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS OCTOBER 26, 2020 HR-20-154723 1703 W. 32ND ST OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT C.7 - 1 PROPOSAL Modify a ca. 1952 contributing house. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Change roofline to create gable at main elevation. 2) Add fiber cement board-and-batten siding to gable end. 3) Replace asbestos shingle siding with fiber cement lap siding. 4) Reconfigure garage door from two bays to one and add a new garage door. ARCHITECTURE One-story side-gabled residence clad in asbestos shingle siding. It has a partial-width front porch, 1:1 mulled and single windows, and a front-facing two-car garage. RESEARCH The house at 1703 W. 32nd Street was built in 1952 by Raymond Lee Burnett and his wife Marjorie. Raymond Burnett was an electrician with Fox-Schmidt, a plumbing, heating, and electrical contractor. Later in his career, Burnett also served on the Austin Fire Safety Board. The Burnetts lived in the home until at least 1969. 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 house’s asbestos siding will be removed, and its roofline altered. 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 siding replacement is compatible with the existing historic structure. While many historic-age buildings in the area feature a front gable, the other proposed modifications may change the relationships of existing façade elements to each other without being immediately differentiable from the building’s historic form. 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. In order to reverse the roofline changes, a significant amount of work would he required; however, the remainder of the building’s form would be minimally impaired.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION OCTOBER 26, 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. In …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION OCTOBER 26, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0395 910 WEST ELIZABETH STREET D.10 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1937 house. ARCHITECTURE One-story, rectangular-plan, front-gabled rock veneered frame house with a rear frame addition; symmetrical composition consisting of a central doorway with a front-gabled entry hood, and a single 6:6 window on each side of the door; the tympanum of the front gable is sheathed in wood planks following the contour of the gable roofline. RESEARCH The house was built in 1937 by John S. Minyard and his wife, Gertrude, who lived here until around 1943. John S. Minyard was listed as a carpenter in the city directories and as a contractor in general construction in the 1940 U.S. Census report. They lived in El Paso in 1935. John S. Minyard died in Littlefield, Texas in 1948; Gertrude Minyard died at the home of her son in Galveston in 1950. After a short period of tenancy by a renter, the house was purchased by Emma Anderson, a widow, in the late 1940s. Emma Anderson had no occupation listed in the city directories and lived here until around 1950. The house was then a rental property again through the 1950s. John Diaz, who had no occupation listed in the city directories, was listed as the owner of the property in 1959. STAFF COMMENTS The house is beyond the bounds of any City survey to date. 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 nice example of a stone-veneered house that characterizes some Austin residential building materials in the first half of the 20th century, but otherwise displays no architectural significance. b. Historical association. The house was built by a carpenter/general contractor, John S. Minyard, who lived here until around 1943; in the late 1940s, it was the home of a widow. 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. …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION OCTOBER 26, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0400 1400 DRAKE AVENUE D.11 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1937 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story, rectangular-plan, side-gabled frame house with a central, front-gabled independent porch on paired, plain wood posts; single and paired 1:1 fenestration. The house was built around 1937 by Paul Kirschner, a local builder and developer. The house was first purchased by Emmitt and Gertie Grosskopf, who lived here from around 1938 until around 1943. Emmitt Grosskopf was a blue print operator for the State Highway Department; Gertie Grosskopf was a service representative for the telephone company. Joseph C. and Wilhelmina Collins purchased the house around 1948 after it having been rented out for several years in the mid-1940s. Joseph C. Collins was a deaf mute who worked as a linotype operator for the Steck Company, a local printing and bookbinding company. The Collinses lived here until around 1956. Sam Alton Brooks, a longtime service man for the City Water and Light Department, purchased the house around 1956 and lived here until his death in 1988. STAFF COMMENTS The house was listed with no priority for research in the Comprehensive Cultural Resources Survey (1984). It is contributing to the pending Travis Heights National Register Historic District. Staff has evaluated this house for designation as a historic landmark and has determined that the house may meet the criteria for landmark designation as set forth in City Code: a. Architecture. The house is a classic vernacular 1930s cottage with an oversized, front-gabled porch. While a common type at the time of its construction, this is a vanishing resource type, and reflects blue-collar housing in South Austin. b. Historical association. The house is associated with several working class families, none of whom achieved significance individually, but as a group, represent blue-collar families who were able to purchase a house in a popular area of South Austin. 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 …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION OCTOBER 26, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0410 815 WEST 11TH STREET D.13 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1911 house. ARCHITECTURE One-story, rectangular-plan, hipped roof frame house with permastone siding, a central, hipped-roof front-facing dormer containing two windows; partial-width inset porch on non- historic wood posts; . RESEARCH The house was built around 1911; the first occupants were Jasper J. and Blanche Coulter, who lived here until around 1917. Jasper Coulter was a book keeper for McKean-Eilers, a large wholesale dry goods company on Congress Avenue (their building is a historic landmark). The house was rented by Lucy Scott, a teacher at Pease School, in the late 1910s and early 1920s. Patrick J. Moran, an oil driller, and his wife, Imogene, are listed as the owners of the house in the 1927 city directory; only Imogene Moran is shown in the 1929 directory. Following the Morans’ ownership of the house, it was a rental property again, with a meat cutter, the superintendent for the Austin Coca-Cola bottling plant, and a projectionist at the Varsity Theater among the tenants. Around 1946, Mrs. Gretta Catterall, a widow, purchased the property; she lived here until around 1970. STAFF COMMENTS The house was listed as a Priority 2 for research in the Comprehensive Cultural Resources Survey (1984). Staff has evaluated this house for designation as a historic landmark and has determined that the house may meet the criteria for landmark designation as set forth in City Code: a. Architecture. The house is a good example of a transitional house, between the older Victorian styles and the later bungalows. This house has a traditional form, but without the architectural ornamentation of earlier tastes, and without the simple floorplan and prominent front porch of the later bungalows. This neighborhood has a number of transitional houses; this one would be contributing to a potential historic district in the west end of downtown. b. Historical association. The house was the home of several middle class families, and represents the lifestyle of the middle class during the early 20th century. The house also has a history of both home ownership and rentals that typified residential patterns in this section of the city. While none of the inhabitants appear to have figured significantly in the history of Austin, the character of the house reflects middle class values. c. Archaeology. The house was not evaluated for its …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION OCTOBER 26, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0412 1205 TAYLOR STREET D.14- 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1933 house. ARCHITECTURE One-story, rectangular-plan, front-gabled frame house with a central entry with a front- gabled entry hood on brackets; single 1:1 fenestration; rectangular-plan, shed-roofed frame addition to the left of the principal block. RESEARCH The house appears to have been built around 1933 but was vacant until around 1936, when it was rented by Percy W. (“Pete”) Combs and his wife, Vera. Combs was the proprietor of a liquor store on E. 5th Street, but later apparently went to work as a proofreader for the Austin American-Statesman newspaper. He and Vera lived here until around 1943. The house had a series of short-term renters from then until around 1965, when it was purchased by Andrew and Sarah Cuevas, who lived here at least through the early 1990s. Andrew Cuevas was a mechanic for the Post Office garage; Sarah Cuevas was a seamstress for two ladies’ clothing stores in Austin. STAFF COMMENTS The house was recommended as contributing to a potential historic district in the East Austin Cultural Resources Survey (2016), but that historic district is enormous, encompassing much of this area of the city. Staff believes there is a viable historic district for just Taylor Street, and if that were ever designated, this house would be contributing to it. 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 simple 1930s frame house typical of blue collar areas of the city; the house has had a number of modifications, including a carport addition and other addition that appear to almost double the size of the house. The modifications to the house outside of the historic period disqualify it for designation as an individual landmark. b. Historical association. The house relates the social history of East Austin, in that it was occupied by Anglo families until the mid-1950s, when Mexican- American families were listed as renters, and finally, purchased by a Mexican- American couple, Andrew and Sarah Cuevas, who lived here from around 1964 onward. Apart from this large trend that is true throughout East Austin, there do not appear to be significant historical associations. c. Archaeology. The house was not evaluated for …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION OCTOBER 26, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0414 2000 FOREST TRAIL D.15 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1941 house. ARCHITECTURE One-story, rectangular-plan, side-gabled, painted brick Colonial Revival-styled house with paired 6:6 fenestration in the facade; central entry is flanked with fluted pilasters; one-story flat-roofed addition to the left of the main block, set back from the front of the house. RESEARCH The first owners and occupants of the house were T. Wilburn and Olin S. Harrell, who lived here from the time of the construction of the house in 1941 until around 1943. T. Wilburn Harrell was a cashier and clerk for the City Water, Light, and Power Department. From around 1943 until 1960, this house was the home of Albert and Essie Taylor. Albert Taylor was a banker who retired before his death in 1955. Essie Taylor lived here until her death in 1960. The next owner was Charlie D. Dye, a local attorney, who constructed additions to the rear of the house. STAFF COMMENTS The house is outside the bounds of any City survey to date. Staff has evaluated this house for designation as a historic landmark and has determined that the house may meet the criteria for landmark designation as set forth in City Code: a. Architecture. The house is a very good example of a restrained version of the Colonial Revival, one of the most popular styles in the country. The house has the symmetrical configuration with a central entry, here flanked with pilasters, and paired 6:6 windows. Although the Colonial Revival style was very popular in Austin, this house is a more rare one-story, brick interpretation. The house may qualify as a historic landmark for its architectural significance. b. Historical association. The house was owned and occupied by local banker Albert Taylor and his wife Essie, for the majority of the historic period. Albert Taylor was from Luling, and spent some time with his adult son in the oil fields of Eastland County, Texas before purchasing this house. There does 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 …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION OCTOBER 26, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0417 1903 E. 8TH STREET D.16 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1921 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story, square plan, pyramidal-roofed board-and-batten sided frame house with a partial- width inset porch on non-historic posts; single and paired 1:1 fenestration. This address first appears in city directories in the 1922 edition, showing it as a rental property for Stanley and Elnora Scott, who lived here only a short period of time; he was a bellboy at the Driskill Hotel. Another series of African-American renters occupied this house until around 1933, when it was purchased by Albert and Mamie Bell Wilson, who lived here until they passed away, Albert in 1951, Mamie in 1964. Albert Wilson had a number of occupations listed in the city directories, all typical of African-American employment opportunities in the segregated city – he was a cement worker, a laborer, and finally a yard man. STAFF COMMENTS The house was listed with no recommendation for designation in the East Austin Cultural Resources Survey (2016). Staff has evaluated this house for designation as a historic landmark and has determined that the house may meet the criteria for landmark designation as set forth in City Code: a. Architecture. The house is a small, square, board-and-batten house typical of rental houses for African-Americans in east Austin in the early 20th century. While it has had some modifications, particularly the porch posts and railings, and possibly the windows, the house maintains its integrity of design and represents the lifestyle of a blue-collar African-American couple. The house may have architectural significance. b. Historical association. The house was the long-time home of an African- American couple, Albert and Mamie Bell Wilson, who represent a typical couple of the era in their occupations: Albert was a yardman and laborer, and Mamie Bell took in laundry. There may 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. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Encourage rehabilitation …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION OCTOBER 26, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0421 2617 E. 4TH STREET D.17 - 1 PROPOSAL RESEARCH Demolish a house that was moved to this site from an unknown location in 1938. ARCHITECTURE One-story, rectangular-plan, side-gabled frame house with a central, front-gabled independent porch on ornamental metal posts; single and paired 1:1 fenestration; synthetic siding. The house was moved onto this lot from an unknown location in 1938 by M.E. Chernosky, a local builder and developer on the east side of Austin. Paul and Juanita Cordova purchased the house and lived here for the rest of their lives. Paul Cordova was a cleaner and presser, who established Vogue Cleaners, located at the corner of Rosewood Avenue and Chicon Street, with Mike Garza, around 1948. After Paul’s death in 1967, Juanita Cordova kept the business going until her own retirement many years later. STAFF COMMENTS The house is outside the bounds of any City survey to date. Staff has evaluated this house for designation as a historic landmark and has determined that the house may meet the criteria for landmark designation as set forth in City Code: a. Architecture. The house is a typical 1930s vernacular frame house that most likely does not predate its move onto this lot by many years. The house reflects a common style with no architectural distinction. b. Historical association. The house was associated with Paul and Juanita Cordova, who operated Vogue Cleaners at the corner of Chicon and Rosewood from around 1948 through the 1980s. Paul Cordova represents a Latinx entrepreneur in an area of the city that was primarily African-American in composition, across Chicon Street from the Rosewood Courts public housing project. There may be significant historical associations for the Cordovas’ identity as entrepreneurs on the east side of Austin. 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.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION OCTOBER 26, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0419 1117 LINDEN STREET D.18 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1940 house. ARCHITECTURE One-story, roughly rectangular-plan stone-veneered frame house with Tudor Revival stylistic influences, including the “cat-slide” roof; partial-width inset porch; brick surrounds for all windows and the attic vent; variety of fenestration patterns. RESEARCH The house was built around 1940 by Marvin W. Pehl Sr. and his wife, Nobie, who lived here until around 1943. Marion W. Pehl was listed as a clerk at the Gugenheim-Goldsmith Company in the city directories, and a shipping clerk at a wholesale produce company, according to the 1940 U.S. Census. They had lived at 1802 Riverview Street prior to building this house. Marvin William Pehl Sr. died 1990; Nobie Pehl died in 1995. They are buried in Tyler, Texas. After a short period of tenancy by a renter in the mid-1940s, the house was purchased by Roy H. and Lillie Mae Gartman, who lived here until around 1954. Roy Gartman was a carpenter for Brown and Root, general building contractors; from this house, they moved to 1901 Bluebonnet Lane in South Austin. From 1954 through the end of the 1950s, the house was rented, then purchased by Charles F. and June E. Beadle. Charles F. Beadle was a native of Arkansas, who served in the U.S. Army during World War II, and was a city firefighter while living here. STAFF COMMENTS The house is beyond the bounds of any City survey to date. Staff has evaluated this house for designation as a historic landmark and has determined that the house may meet the criteria for landmark designation as set forth in City Code: a. Architecture. The house is a minimal traditional house with aspects of Tudor Revival design and ornamental brick surrounds for the windows and attic vent, indicating a high degree of artistry in construction and architectural significance. b. Historical association. The house was the home of several middle-class families over time, including a shipping clerk for a wholesale produce and beer distributor, a carpenter, and a city firefighter. The historical significance of the individual residents likely does not rise to the level of satisfying this criterion, but the house is certainly unusual in its setting and architecture, reflecting the lifestyle of the lower middle class and atypical ornamentation for a house in this neighborhood. c. Archaeology. The house was not …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION OCTOBER 26, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0340 4714 ROWENA STREET D.2 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1932 house. ARCHITECTURE One-story, wing-and-gable plan stuccoed frame house with a partial-width inset porch featuring a segmental arched arcaded front wall; single 1:1 fenestration; second-story belvedere at the back of the house; metal roof. RESEARCH The house is associated with Jay J. and Elisabeth Hegman, who lived here from the time of its construction around 1932 until 1948, when they moved to a historic landmark house at 720 E. 32nd Street. Jay J. Hegman was born in 1883 in Galveston, and arrived in Austin in 1915 after operating a theater in Temple, Texas. He opened the “old” Queen Theater on Congress Avenue in 1916, then persuaded Major George W. Littlefield to build a new, larger theater in 1920, the “new” Queen, also on Congress Avenue. The Queen was the first theater in Austin solely dedicated to showing motion pictures; all the other theaters also featured stage shows. Hegman ran afoul of local authorities in the early1920s for showing movies at the Queen on Sundays, in violation of Texas blue laws, which prohibited many businesses from operation on the Sabbath. He was fined for his violations, and in 1924, sold the Queen Theater. He then went to Galveston to operate the Grand Opera House there, before returning to Austin. There are indications that Hegman split his time between Galveston and Austin in the mid-1920s; the city directory of 1924 shows the Hegman family living on Crockett Street, and operating the Star and Crescent theaters. The 1927 directory is the first showing the Hegmans in this neighborhood. They opened the Ritz Theater on E. 6th Street in 1929, and revamped the theater to its current configuration in 1937. His son, Elmo W. Hegman, who grew up in this house on Rowena, started off as a projectionist in his parents’ theaters, and later became the manager of the family’s theater business. Besides the theater businesses in Austin, which included the Queen, Crescent, and Star theaters in the 1920s, Jay J. Hegman was also a real estate man, developing the J.J. Hegman Subdivision in north Austin in the mid-1920s, consisting of Rowena Street and Avenue F between 47th and 51st Streets. The 1930 U.S. Census shows the Hegman family living in a house worth $10,000 with an address of 4805 Avenue F, which …
D.4 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION OCTOBER 26, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0353 2505 PARK VIEW DRIVE PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1954 house in the Air-Conditioned Village. ARCHITECTURE One-story, side-gabled, Ranch-style house with deep eaves and an extension of the front roofline to constitute a covered walkway from what was the attached carport to the front door. The house has a combination of red brick and wood siding; fenestration consists of aluminum-framed sliding windows with a clerestory pane above; grouped in a triple configuration on the front of the house. The carport has been enclosed with horizontal siding, and contains a paired set of the same windows. The porch has been modified to give the house somewhat of an Arts and Crafts appearance with tapered porch posts and stone piers at the front door. To the left of the front door is a brick-veneered wall that extends almost to the roofline; a narrow band of horizontal wood siding containing a pair of sliding windows tops the brick veneer and wraps around the left side of the house. The house has two rear additions, constructed in 1963 and 1964, the latter providing a mother-in-law apartment on-site. RESEARCH The house at 2505 Park View Drive was the Frigidaire House, designed by Ned A. Cole. S.R. Sheppard was the builder. Frigidaire was one of the air conditioning companies pairing with local homebuilders and the National Association of Home Builders to construct houses to test the cost effectiveness and appeal of central air conditioning in houses priced for middle-class consumers. This house is one of several in the Air-Conditioned Village designed by Ned Cole, a local architect and designer, who was instrumental in attracting the National Association of Home Builders to Austin to build a small neighborhood of modest homes with central air conditioning. The builder was S.R. Sheppard, a local contractor who was interested in energy efficiency and had already constructed a house with wall and attic insulation and air conditioning in a nearby West Austin neighborhood before embarking on this more modest house in the Air-Conditioned Village. Austin’s Air-Conditioned Village was the largest of several experiments throughout the country in the early 1950s to test the feasibility of designing and building homes with central air conditioning for middle class buyers. Up until that time, central air conditioning was generally only offered in more expensive homes, and the need for more homes …
D.5 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION OCTOBER 26, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0352 2507 PARK VIEW DRIVE PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1954 house in Austin’s Air-Conditioned Village. ARCHITECTURE The house is one-story, designed in the Ranch style with a combination of board-and-batten, and a horizontally-laid random narrow stone course veneer wainscoting across the front of the house; a side-gabled roof with deep eaves shades the structure. Fenestration consists of metal-framed horizontally-sliding window to the right of the single-leaf glazed front door (a modern replacement) and then a series of awning-style wood-frame windows above the stone wainscoting. The house has an attached garage at the far right end of the facade, once an open double carport. RESEARCH This house is the Carrier house, designed by the Carrier Corporation in conjunction with local architect H.D. Powers, and built by local contractor Andrew S. Patton. H.D. Powers had worked for the Federal Housing Administration prior to this job, and designed five houses in the Air-Conditioned Village for various air conditioning manufacturers. All of his houses had masonry veneer exteriors and were built on a slab. Powers and Patton collaborated on a house featured in the 1953 Parade of Homes. Austin’s Air-Conditioned Village was the largest of one of several experiments throughout the country in the early 1950s to test the feasibility of designing and building homes with central air conditioning for the middle class. Up until that time, central air conditioning was something that was only offered in high-end homes, and the need for more homes for returning servicemen spurred an increase in developing technology for new middle-class homeowners. The Air-Conditioned Village in Austin was specifically envisioned as a neighborhood of relatively modest, if technologically-advanced houses, all with a price tag affordable to many middle-class buyers and as a test case for the cost effectiveness for modest homes in a warm and humid climate. Typical of the early purchasers of the houses in the Air-Conditioned Village, the house at 2507 Park View Drive was initially occupied by Cyrus and Dorothy Brown, who only lived here for a short period of time. His occupation was not listed in the Austin city directory, but it appears that Cyrus Brown was a lumberman from Shallowater, near Lubbock. He does not appear in city directories either before or after the edition of 1954, and he died in Vernon, Texas in 1981. His death certificate noted that …
D.6 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION OCTOBER 26, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS GF-2020-140147 1806 TRAVIS HEIGHTS BOULEVARD PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Partially demolish and construct an addition to a ca. 1930 house. 1) Reconfigure and replace windows and doors. Proposed fenestration includes an added French door at main façade. Glazing replacements include double-hung, awning, and fixed aluminum-clad, divided-light windows. 2) Construct a 2-story addition to the rear of the house. The proposed addition, clad in horizontal fiber-cement siding, features a gabled roof with slope to match existing roofline, 4:4 double-hung aluminum-clad windows capped by standing-seam shed awnings, and a rear dormer with metal shed roof, mulled 4-light windows, and exposed rafter tails. 3) Construct a second-story dormer at the east (main) elevation. The proposed dormer is clad in horizontal fiber-cement siding. It features a standing-seam metal shed roof with exposed rafter tails and 4-light aluminum-clad ribbon windows. 4) Add a wraparound deck with metal guardrail to the main, north, and west elevations. Main elevation deck will replace existing concrete stoop. 5) Whitewash stone. Stucco over brick. ARCHITECTURE One-story Tudor Revival house clad in stone, brick, stucco, and horizontal wood with a cross- gabled roof. It has mulled and single double-hung 1:1 wood windows, a stone veneer chimney, and exposed rafter tails at the front and rear elevations. The gable features a steeply sloped roofline with deep eaves, extending downward to meet the gable’s flared stone detailing. RESEARCH 1806 Travis Heights Boulevard was constructed between 1926 and 1930 by the Stussy Realty Company. Its first occupant was contractor William A. Woolsey. Woolsey also constructed a garage apartment on the property, then rented out one building while he occupied the other. By 1944, he had sold the house. A series of short-term occupants lived there until 1952, when it was purchased by Neil D. and Louetta R. Galbraith. Neil Galbraith worked as a pharmacist and later managed a dry- cleaning company; Louetta Galbraith worked as a clerk and manager at several women’s clothing stores. STAFF COMMENTS The building is recommended contributing to a potential Travis Heights National Register Historic District; however, the district nomination has not completed the federal designation approval process. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). D. 6- 2 a) Architecture. The house is constructed …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION OCTOBER 26, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS GF-20-140200 4509 BALCONES DRIVE D.7 - 1 PROPOSAL Construct an addition to a ca. 1959 residence. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Partially demolish exterior at north side of house. 2) Construct a single-story addition. The proposed addition features a flat roof, stone veneer and horizontal wood siding, a flat roof with exposed rafter tails, fixed and casement windows, and sliding glass doors. 3) Add casement and fixed windows at the west and north elevations. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Split-level house with horizontal and vertical wood siding; fixed and sliding undivided full- height and ribbon windows; a cross-gabled roof with gable-end detailing, exposed rafter tails, deep eaves, and triangular brackets; and Japanese-inspired decorative wood details at railings, roofline, and fenestration. The site is terraced with masonry retaining walls that follow the contours of its topography, softening the transition between house and landscape. The building at 4509 Balcones Drive was constructed in 1959 by architect David C. Graeber as his personal dwelling. Graeber, who moved to Austin to attend the University of Texas School of Architecture after building homes with his father’s lumber business in San Antonio, joined Kuhne, Brooks, and Barr in 1957. He became a firm partner in 1961. When the firm began consulting for the University of Texas in 1962, Graeber led the design teams for all new UT buildings for the next four years. He established Graeber, Simmons, and Cowan in 1978. Notable projects throughout Graeber’s career include the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library, the All Faiths Chapel of the Austin State Supported Living Center, the Johnson Space Center in Houston, the U.S. Consulate in Mexico City, numerous high-tech firms in Austin, and pro-bono work at the Paramount Theater, the Long Center, and the Austin Convention Center. Graeber also participated enthusiastically in the revitalization of Austin’s downtown. Through a philosophy of “continuity, not conflict,” (Austin-American Statesman, 1965) he championed urban living and moved his family to Sixth Street in 1967, restoring and landmarking a nineteenth-century stone building where he lived for the next forty years. Since then, his vision of a skyscraper-filled residential downtown has come to fruition. He served on the boards of the Texas Society of Architects, Old Pecan Street Association, and other civic-minded planning and architecture organizations. In 1969, he chaired the Governor’s Conference on Urban Affairs, and later initiated Austin’s street tree planting program along Congress Avenue. STAFF …

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

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION OCTOBER 26, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0384 906 E. 13TH STREET D.9 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a one-story house. ARCHITECTURE One-story building with compound hipped and gabled roof and covered entryway. Clad in horizontal wood siding and stone veneer, the house has aluminum windows with iron grilles and a partial width covered porch shaded by a metal awning. A similar awning covers the house’s large picture window. RESEARCH 906 East 13th Street was constructed in 1949 for Boston P. Grant, III and his family. Grant, an Austin native and longtime Texas educator, had just returned from a stint in San Marcos as principal of the Negro school there. As a former mathematics professor at Samuel Huston College and a former department head at Anderson High School, Grant was already well-established in Austin’s educational community prior to his return to Anderson as counselor in 1947. As one of the first certified school counselors in Texas, Grant pioneered career training programs, testing reform, and vocational mentoring at Anderson. He advocated for testing strategies that were tailored to his African American students, understanding that their educational and vocational needs were uniquely challenging in segregation-era Texas. Above all, Grant encouraged educators and counselors to listen and learn from their pupils, and to foster an environment in which young people could speak freely about their feelings as they looked toward the future. Grant’s daughter, Deloria H. Grant, took possession of the home after his death in 1980. Grant, a Samuel Huston alumnus like her father, became a licensed vocational nurse who cared for some of Austin’s most prominent families. Deloria H. Grant passed away in July of 2020. STAFF COMMENTS Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate integrity. 3) Properties must meet two historic designation criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2- 352). The property may demonstrate significance according to City Code: a) Architecture. The house is constructed with Minimal Traditional influences. b) Historical association. The house is associated with educator Boston P. Grant, III. c) Archaeology. The house was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d) Community value. The house does not possess a unique location, physical characteristic, or significant feature that contributes to the character, image, or cultural identity of the city, the neighborhood, or a …

Gaudette, Angela From: Sent: To: Subject: Gaudette, Angela Monday, October 19, 2020 2:22 PM Gaudette, Angela FW: Letter to commissioners for 815 Rutherford Place From: Younghee Kim Sent: Monday, October 19, 2020 2:18 PM To: Gaudette, Angela <Angela.Gaudette@austintexas.gov> Cc: Sadowsky, Steve <Steve.Sadowsky@austintexas.gov>; Hoon Kim Subject: Letter to commissioners for 815 Rutherford Place To commissioners, I am writing this letter to request the release of a demo permit on 815 Rutherford Place. We have spoken with a few neighbors since the last meeting. What the neighbors seem to ignore is the fact that we are a local small business owners, mother and a son, and this is our livelihood. We are not big national builders, nor have a large pool of investor’s money backing us. We live in this neighborhood, work here, give what we can here. We too are mindful of our community. We took out bank loans to purchase the property, construction loan to build a new house. We feel we have the same right and freedom to build the house we want abiding the city codes. If the neighbors feel strongly about keeping the houses as they are as rentals they had the same opportunity to purchase the property when it was on the market as we had. We are not in a financial position to be a landlord at this time. This is our only project underway carrying us to next year. We have already spent in excess of $50,000 on architects, engineering, and city permit agency. We even asked architects to come up with the design that would blend well with the characteristics of the neighborhood which they did. This delay puts us in a financial hardship. Please consider our situation. Thank you for your time. Younghee Kim Sent from my iPad 1

Just to summarize, I'm a long‐time resident of Fairview Park and a volunteer with the SRCC's Preservation Committee, but I am writing as a resident, rather than as a representative of that group. You may also remember that I was part of the group which organized the creation of our National Register Historic District. I appreciate the postponement given this case last month and hope we can still find a way to save some of our neighborhood's historic character. I stand by all the pleas I made in my last letter on these proposed demolitions. Both the Tudor house on Rutherford and the Minimal Traditional house on Alta Vista are contributing properties to our historic district. While they are in poor condition now, I believe they definitely could be saved, and very cleverly remodeled. Leaving them as separate properties and remodeling or restoring them could also create an opportunity for rental income, which could offer the owner tax credits for rehabilitation. While the loss of a piece of our neighborhood's story and architectural history is my primary objection to demolition, I feel the owner's proposed design looms over the streetscape. I have not heard if they have altered their plans since the last meeting, but I sincerely hope that they could be encouraged to save the Rutherford House‐‐at the very least! That alone could help retain some of the historic character at this entry point to our district. Of course, my ideal outcome would be saving both. Thank you for doing what you can to help us preserve our neighborhood's history.

AG Ashley Gottshalk Design October 22, 2020 Re: Demolition and Relocation Permits Dear Historic Landmark Commission, The house on the site of 2617 E 4th St is without architectural or historical significance. It had no appraised value upon recent purchase and its condition is unlivable and necessitates significant, costly repairs and renovation to meet current standards. Additionally, if kept, the house’s location and orientation make further development and optimization of the site challenging. Mr. Pollard hired me to design two homes for the property, of architecture similar to other recent contemporary new builds in the Holly neighborhood. You’ll find renderings of our intent included. His plans are sure to increase the value of the immediate property and surrounding area. Thank you, Ashley Gottshalk, AIA, WELL AP Architect Licensed in the States of Florida and Texas Dear Historic Landmark Commission, My name is Mitch Flax and I own 3 properties (2615, 2702 and 2704 E 4th St) adjacent to the proposed house demolition at 2617 E 4th street. My wife and I have lived on East 4th Street for 7 years and have seen a number of demolitions and new builds which have helped to revitalize the Holly neighborhood. However, there continue to be a number of dilapidated structures (including 2617 E 4th Street) within the area that we would love to see removed. After having met Alex, we were able to view his site plans and fully support the demolition of the current structure at 2617 E 4th street in order to continue to revitalize our beautiful Holly neighborhood.

To: Historic Landmark Commission October 26, 2020 Demolition and Relocation Permits HDP-2020-0419 1117 Linden Street Dear Committee Members, Please find below, a summary based on the research done by the Historic Preservation Center, City of Austin, Austin History Center and my personal efforts to rehabilitate the property at 1117 Linden Street • The exterior of the house is clad in limestone and brick accents - which may have been added since the original construction of the house, as there appears to be siding underneath the stone cladding. • There are records of a garage having existed for the house, but currently there is no garage associated with the house • Based on this, the house does not appear to possess the original architecture • Based on the research of the people who have lived in the house, “the historical significance of the individual residents likely does not rise to the level of satisfying this criterion” - of Historical Association • I have contacted a few neighbors and several house relocation services and offered the house for free if anyone was interested in relocating it. • However, everyone refused citing the stone exterior - apparently houses with stone exteriors are not moved as is. If they are to be moved, all the stone cladding needs to be removed and reinstalled after the house is moved, which apparently becomes cost prohibitive • I do try to rehabilitate houses wherever possible based on the following examples • 1111 Gunter Street - the existing house at this address was permitted to be demolished. I worked with a neighbor and changed the demolition permit to a relocation permit and worked with the neighbor to move the house to his property where it has been rehabilitated! I did not seek any remuneration for the house and gave it to the neighbor for free. • 3705 Govalle Ave - I am currently working with another neighbor to rehabilitate the house at this address and there is a high likelihood that this house will be rehabilitated. Again, I am not seeking any remuneration for this house either and will be giving it for free I do try to rehabilitate houses, particularly by working with neighbors to relocate them. Because of the stone cladding on the house at 1117 Linden, I am unable to find anyone interested in relocating it despite considerable efforts by me. Consequently, I request the …
October 13, 2020 Historic Landmark Commission: On September 9th, 2020 Carla Tremblay, owner of 4509 Balcones Drive, presented her plan to add onto the existing structure. Per that presentation, the Highland Park West Balcones Area Neighborhood Association Board (HPWBANA), by a unanimous vote, has no objections to the project moving forward. We understand that the existing structure was designed by David Graeber and that it might meet the criteria for a historic landmark designation. We believe the plan presented to be in step with the character of the home and the neighborhood. We also believe that due to previous material changes to the structure, a historic landmark designation may not be appropriate. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

As you know, I live 1 street over from this house, a couple of hundred yards away, if that. It has been unoccupied for over 2, maybe 3 years. October 26 will be the 4th time the owners, through compensated representatives, will appear to 'defend' their project, which meets ALL of the design standards of the LHD (except perhaps the location of the carport, which HP staff wants moved back a few feet). It is astonishing that a minor addition, entirely compliant (27' back from the front facade, 12' more than required), takes so much time & money (in redesign, meetings & hearings) to obtain a CoA. The objections I have heard are that a neighbor doesn't like it and 1 HLC Commissioner says she felt 'misled' over the fact that this 2nd floor addition is coming before the Commission after the approval of a basement addition, creating "too much mass" in her opinion. Yet the overall project is entirely within all regulations, including FAR, and the basement addition is NOT VISIBLE from the street, giving this house the same appearance (& visible "mass") as it had historically, and much less than many other houses on the street. Isn't this exactly what the HLC should want? Please grant this Certificate of Appropriateness without delay. 602 Highland is one of 8 houses (at least, on Highland & Oakland alone) around me which are unoccupied. Empty houses do not make for a safe or convivial neighborhood. I am looking forward to having new neighbors ‐‐ please do not hold this up further.

My husband, Jim Dougherty, and I have lived for 41 years at 4205 Wilshire Pkwy., which is directly behind the property where the new build will be. The back of our house is 20 feet from the fence line and will be about 30 feet from the back of their house and their planned swimming pool and outdoor entertainment area. We have been out of town since Oct. 12 and have just now gotten through all the mail that arrived in our absence, so we were unable to respond in a timely manner (before noon today) to be able to participate in the public hearing. We have several concerns about the new build — some that affect us personally (the close proximity of the new build to our house and backyard) and some that affect us as members of the Wilshire Wood National Historic District, where this house will reside. (We are not currently a local historic district, but our neighborhood association is actively pursuing that designation.) Houses in the Wilshire Wood National Register Historic District typically are low, one-story, ranch- style homes that are mostly stone or brick. Most were built in the 1940s, and the neighborhood — even with improvements and some new builds — has retained its historic charm. With a stucco exterior, this new build — while one story in height — would not be in keeping with the look of other homes in this historic neighborhood. In addition, the stucco exterior is specifically against the deed restrictions for Wilshire Park, which require at least 50 percent stone or brick. (See attached deed restrictions. NOTE: The Fair Housing Act of 1968 renders unenforceable any racially discriminatory language in deed restrictions, advertising or otherwise. But it does not render other language in deed restrictions unenforceable.) Some houses on Wilshire Parkway that abut the 1602 Wilshire Blvd. property have …

I summarized my opposition to this teardown on the form that notified me of the Historic Landmark Commission review, but I wanted to elaborate on those comments and send over some additional information on the home. The 1920s home at 1703 Woodlawn Blvd. is like nothing else in the neighborhood, and is even a unique structure for the company that designed it. I was curious when the Zillow listing mentioned the University of Texas' first dean of architecture (https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1703‐Woodlawn‐Blvd‐Austin‐TX‐78703/29331506_zpid/), so I dug into the history of the house a little more. It was not the first dean as that title came later, but the first chairman of the University of Texas architecture program, Hugo Kuehne, with ties to this house. Plans related to the home's design are in the Hugo Franz Kuehne Records and Drawings collection at the Austin History Center, the index for which I've attached here for further research. The listings for the home, referred to as the Ferris Residence, are highlighted. More information about this collection can be found here: https://legacy.lib.utexas.edu/taro/aushc/00109/ahc‐00109.html Kuehne and his companies are known more for their more traditional‐style architecture, making the fun art deco home at 1703 Woodlawn a unique project for them as well. I am likely preaching to the choir here, but Kuehne was not only the main figure responsible for organizing UT's architecture program, but he and his firms played an instrumental role in designing much of Austin's public architecture and the layout of the Old Enfield neighborhood itself. Thus, 1703 Woodlawn deserves to be considered a contributing structure in the historic district, if not landmarked on its own for its strong ties to an architect that shaped Austin's look as well as its unique status as a more art deco‐influenced project, both for Kuehne's company as well as the neighborhood. We must act now to start protecting some of the other older homes here and adding them to the "contributing" list for the historic district. 1703 Woodlawn has stood for nearly a century at this point.

Actually we are just hearing about several of them. We walk in the neighborhood almost daily and really haven't seen notices in prominent locations. This is a time when it is even more important to maintain our sense of community, and these houses are such an important part of the fabric of our town. We strongly urge you to deny requests for demolition of the beautiful Tudor house at 815 Rutherford Place. It is truly a gem and would be such a loss for our entire community. How can Austin continue to allow our historic masterpieces to be erased? These are the places that make Travis Heights such a community and keep it truly unique. Please help in any way you can.

I am a property owner in the Bouldin neighborhood. The loss of this home would be the loss of a likely relatively affordable home or rental, thus would impact the economic diversity of this neighborhood. Perhaps there are some rehabilitation options that would be a win/win for the new owner and the neighborhood. I will be attending a conference next week to learn more about preservation and equity. I would be happy to share any relevant information with the new owner if they wish to explore options to preserve at least part of the home. The public permit search reveals little about Joseph Builder's plans for the home. Since they have built other homes in Bouldin, it would be good to know if they have been a good neighbor in the past. Please postpone this property until your next meeting.

I sent you a response to your letting asking for neighborhood response to a demolition permit on this property, but it was somehow returned to me. This is my letter against that idea. We are a neighborhood that has been here since the 1920’s. We have just a few houses that are left from that era. There are some houses that offer nothing to the neighborhood but i believe this house does. It is a lovely house from the time. There is no reason to tear it down, or take it away and build a modern house, which i am sure would be built on that spot. If they wanted to make a park there or something that would add to the community, i would consider it. But unfortunately it is just another idea of how to make more money. I know Mark and i am surprised he is asking to do this. He owns 8 houses in our neighborhood, directly across from my house. I know they are all rented and creating income, so i know this is not the motivation, he does not really need more money to add to his estate. I would like to speak up for this house and for leaving affordable houses with some historic value. I have owned my house since 1994 and if i were trying to move here today, it would not be affordable. Please do not vote to tear down our neighborhood and increase the taxes, that at 72 years old, are making it less and less possible every year to live here. I appreciate your consideration.

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 …

October 25, 2020 Terri Myers, Chair City of Austin Historic Landmark Commission Re: 2505 and 2507 Park View Drive Dear Chair, Preservation Austin has been our city’s leading nonprofit voice for historic preservation since 1953. We write today to express our dismay at the proposed demolition of 2505 and 2507 Park View Drive in the Air-Conditioned Village. We ask the Historic Landmark Commission to support historic zoning for these significant properties in the areas of Architecture, Historical Associations, and Community Value. The Air-Conditioned Village was built in 1954 to assess the cost-effectiveness and profitability of central air in middle-class housing. Twenty-three houses, each featuring air-conditioning systems from a different manufacturer, were sold to families who agreed to allow their homes and habits to be studied by University of Texas scientists. Austinite Ned Cole, an architect and head of the air-conditioning subcommittee of the National Association of Homes Builders, spearheaded the project, which was the first multi-home experiment of its kind worldwide. Local architects and builders designed each unique home with energy-saving design elements to test their effectiveness. 2505 Park View Drive, known as the “Frigidaire House,” retains integrity and clearly conveys its historical significance. Preservation Austin believes the property meets the following criteria for historic zoning: Architecture: The house embodies several of the hallmarks of the Ranch style, including the long, low configuration, deep eaves, and prominent low front porch. Although the house has been somewhat modified, its original form and contextual appearance remains intact. The house was specifically designed as a modest house to test the ability to provide central air conditioning in homes for the middle class. The Air-Conditioned Village was an internationally renowned experiment in building innovation and social science. Its success impacted the architecture and economics of air-conditioning for homebuilders and their middle-class audience. The house was designed by Ned Cole, who was instrumental in bringing the experiment of central air conditioning to Austin and who was noted for his innovative architectural designs using prefabricated elements - - - - Historical Associations: Community Value: - The Air-Conditioned Village is embedded in Austin’s identity.

Gaudette, Angela From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Paula Kothmann Sunday, October 25, 2020 11:42 AM PAZ Preservation Paula Kothmann Item D6 1806 Travis Heights Boulevard *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Commissioners: I respectfully ask for your consideration to postpone your decision on the proposed alterations to this home, especially since Travis Heights Boulevard is such an important street for our newly designated Historic District, thus for the City. Part of the benefit of a Historic Neighborhood is that it's a tourist attraction, like Monument Drive in Richmond (w/o the sticky Civil War controversy). If Travis Heights Boulevard becomes lined with a lot of modern homes that vary greatly in design and scale from those around it, the street will lose its appeal as a tourist attraction. Compare this historic neighborhood in San Diego: https://www.sandiegorealestatehunter.com/blog/5-reasons-burlingame-san- diego-great-place-live/ . Many of you may be more familiar with Monte Vista in San Antonio. What can be done to deter the deterioration of these homes that still have many decades of shelter to give? Doesn't preservation align with the City's Austin Resource Recovery's goal to prevent waste while keeping our community clean? Maintenance grants I believe that we need some kind of grant program to help homeowners maintain their homes. I will be attending a conference next week of the National Trust on Historic Preservation. I'm especially interested in topics that will be discussed related to: Preservation and Equity, Preservation and Affordable Housing, and Preservation and Diversity. The Travis Heights/Fairview Park Historic District was not always a neighborhood for people who could pay over $1M for their homes. As a realtor I know that only a very small percentage of home buyers can qualify at this price point. New builds are quickly eroding the economic diversity we currently cherish. Yet many of the lower, moderate, and fixed-income residents who bought their homes in our neighborhood when prices were more affordable struggle to stay in their homes. The very high property taxes ($12,000+ annually) deplete their housing budgets so that they have little money left over to care for their aging homes as they may wish. Perhaps the City could give people a break on their property taxes commensurate with the money that they spend to preserve their homes. I have contacted the City about possible maintenance grants as well as incentives to convert an old garage into an income-producing …

B.1 602 Highland Avenue (HR-2020-125268) Dear HLC Commissioners, The second story addition at 602 Highland Avenue has made revisions for the better based on feedback from the Architectural Review Committee and the Historic Landmark Commission. While the revisions are an improvement, the OWANA Zoning Committee still opposes the second story 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 designate 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. The historic homes in this LHD are either one or two stories. This creates a non-historic precedent and would be the first of its kind. 2. Design new additions that are subordinate to and do not overpower the historic building. (Smoot/Terrace Park design standard requirement) 1 The two perspectives shown at the reviews attempt to strongly suggest the addition will not overpower the original contributing home. This is not the case. Highland Avenue is sloping, so the addition seems highly prominent and intrusive at different perspectives. Recent photos were taken on Highland Avenue and 6th Street to show accurate views of 602 Highland.
