2.A – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION STAFF UPDATE ON RELOCATION ISSUE JUNE 28, 2021 C14H-2000-0012 STANLEY HOMESTEAD OUTBUILDING 1809 NEWTON ST. PROJECT BACKGROUND The Historic Landmark Commission approved a Certificate of Appropriateness on February 27, 2017 for relocation of a historic landmark, the Stanley Homestead Outbuilding, within its site. This approval was specifically based on an understanding that the stones would be numbered and reassembled in the exact same configuration. In a post on LinkedIn on May 20, 2021, the former owner of the building posted a link to a 2017 video, which appears to show demolition rather than relocation of the building. Commissioners viewed the video at the May 24, 2021 Commission meeting and voted to request that staff pursue legal remedies. Video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NYY1-WMrucQ Prior Commission action: See posted agendas, minutes, and backup at http://austintexas.gov/cityclerk/boards_commissions/meetings/31_1.htm. • February 13, 2017 Certificate of Appropriateness Review Committee. • February 27, 2017 Commission meeting, Item B.2, application to move the stone outbuilding 20 feet to the west (towards Newton St.). The Commission approved relocation of the outbuilding in accordance with the applicant’s proposal to number stones, dismantle, and rebuild the building. • November 19, 2018 Commission meeting, Item B.3, application to construct two new houses and move the outbuilding again. The case was postponed to December 17, 2018. • December 17, 2018 Commission meeting, Item B.3, application for new construction without a second relocation of the outbuilding. This request was approved. UPDATE Since the May Historic Landmark Commission meeting, staff took photographs of the Stanley Homestead Outbuilding; pulled photographs from the historic zoning file; examined prior code compliance reports, which include dated photographs; and consulted other online sources. Comparison of the photographs shows the following: • While the stonework bears a similar rusticated surface and coursed ashlar pattern, the exact sizes and placement of the stones before and after relocation of the outbuilding does not match. • There are two clear departures in the overall design. The gable on the main (south) elevation now has a wood beam rather than smooth stonework, and stonework extends higher to fill in what was an open loft. On the west side, a window has been added. • Between the relocation in 2017 and a code compliance inspection in 2018, an enclosure was built on the front of the building. An addition on the east side does not appear in available dated photographs. Historic Preservation Office staff …

A.1 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET PC DATE: N/A HLC DATE: June 28, 2021 CASE NUMBER: PR-2021-061096; GF-2021-066980 APPLICANT: Historic Landmark Commission (owner-opposed initiation) HISTORIC NAME: N/A WATERSHED: Lake Austin ADDRESS OF PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE: 2708 Scenic Drive ZONING CHANGE: LA, SF-3-NP to LA, SF-3-NP-H COUNCIL DISTRICT: 10 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Since the house appears to have lost significant character-defining features over the years, staff cannot recommend historic zoning. While the overall form of the original building is consistent with Roessner's design ethos, this particular example does not appear to display the level of detail that defines his other residential work. The roof and some windows have been replaced and the roof pitch potentially altered; the existing standing-seam metal roof was installed after the period of significance. A ca. 1967 secondary unit is immediately adjacent the original and connected by a walkway; this site change may have altered the original building’s relationship to the topography as designed by Roessner. Both appear to be missing materials present in Roessner’s extant midcentury residential work elsewhere in Austin (e.g., specialty glass, exposed rafters, handmade metalwork and brick, natural limestone, indoor-outdoor Saltillo tile, and other textural accent materials).

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS JUNE 28, 2021 C14H-2010-0009; HR-2021-041008 VOSS HOUSE 1501 NORTHWOOD ROAD B.3 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a rear and second-level addition. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish detached garage. 2) Construct a rear addition. The addition extends the back corner of the house by 5’-1” to the south and 8’-5 ½” to the west. Another building, 16’-5” by 25’-2”, is connected by an open porch in a dog-trot configuration. The additions have cross-gabled, standing-seam metal roofs and are clad in horizontal wood siding. Windows are 1:1 light and are of similar size and proportions to the windows on the house. Windows and doors opening onto the porch are steel-framed. 3) Construct a second-story addition to the house. The addition consists of a shed-roofed dormer on the west roof slope and a side-gabled volume near the back of the house, set back from the Harris Blvd. (east) side. These elements also have standing-seam metal roofing and horizontal wood siding. Windows are 1:1 light, arranged singly or in groupings, and are of similar or smaller size but the same proportions as the windows on the house. ARCHITECTURE The Voss House faces Northwood Road; however, the following description from the landmark nomination considers the Harris Blvd. side as the primary elevation. The house is a one-story, rectangular-plan, side-gabled frame bungalow with a partial-width front-gabled independent porch on battered posts and stone piers with a brick cap and a vertical baluster railing. Fenestration consists of 1:1 wood-frame, wood-sash units in single and multiple configurations; the entry is flanked with sidelights. A battered stone chimney pierces the north side gable of the house. The garage is not mentioned in the landmark nomination. It has a low-pitched pyramidal roof and is clad in board-and- batten siding. The garage is located to the southwest of the house at the rear corner of the property, with a modern overhead garage door facing Harris Blvd. While the 1961 Sanborn Fire Insurance map shows a garage at the same location, it has a different footprint. Building permits show the garage was remodeled in 2000, though the description indicates installation of a concrete slab and interior remodel only. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW Repair and alterations Residential additions The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects at historic landmarks. …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS JUNE 28, 2021 2021-058680 PR HYDE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 4006 1/2 AVENUE B B.3– 1 Construct a two-story rear addition to a one-story contributing building. Replace existing windows and doors. PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS ARCHITECTURE STANDARDS FOR REVIEW 1) Partially demolish rear of residence. 2) Construct a two-story addition. The proposed addition is set back approximately 15’ from the front wall of the house. It has a compound gabled roof and horizontal wood siding. Single and paired 1:1 wood windows are regularly spaced throughout. 3) Replace existing non-original windows with 1:1s. Replace non-original door. The existing building is a one-story Craftsman bungalow with horizontal wood siding, 4:6 paired and single windows, a partial-width porch supported by tapered columns, and a gabled roof with exposed rafter tails and triangular knee braces at eaves. The Hyde Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1.2 Respect the historic style of existing structures and retain their historic features, including character-defining elements and building scale. 1.3 Respect each contributing structure as an example of the architecture of its time. Do not make alterations that have no historic basis, such as the addition of gingerbread trim to a 1920s bungalow. Do not give an existing contributing structure a “historic” appearance it never had. 1.4 Repair deteriorated historic features and architectural elements. The proposed addition retains some aspects of the building’s historic style but changes its scale. It is differentiated in scale and detailing, as the design has been amended per Architectural Review Committee feedback to remove inappropriate decorative details and add a horizontal trim between old and new construction. The proposed cladding will match the existing building’s horizontal siding. 3.1 Retain the historic facade of a house in terms of door and window placement and exterior wall materials. Repair damaged or deteriorated exterior wall materials where reasonably possible. If replacement of exterior wall materials is necessary, choose a material identical in size, profile, and appearance as the historic material. 3.2 Do not enlarge, alter, or relocate single doorways on the façade of the house. Retain and repair an original entry door. In cases where replacement of an original entry door is required, or where the house does not have the original door, choose a replacement door that is compatible in terms of design and appearance …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS JUNE 28, 2021 C14H-2009-0020; HR-2021-084049 DR. RALPH AND ANNA CLOUD HOUSE 1718 SUMMIT VIEW B.7 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish and replace existing rear building; construct detached carport; and limited addition or replacement of windows and doors. 1) Demolish existing guest house addition and construct a new addition. The addition consists of a two-story, side-gabled guest house across the rear of the property, linked to the main house through a flat-roofed hyphen and an entryway that fills in an inset corner at the rear of the house. The guest house and entryway additions are clad in vertical wood siding in a dark finish. A wood deck will extend between the historic house and guest house along its length, terminating on the Hartford Rd. (west) end in raised planters and steps to the yard. 2) Construct a detached carport east of and 2’ behind the front corner of the house, at the end of the existing driveway. The carport will have steel supports and a flat roof that aligns with the beam at the top of the adjacent enclosed porch. 3) Selectively replace and reconfigure window and door openings. On the east elevation, at a previously enclosed porch, paired doors and two windows will be replaced with a single door and window. Also on the east elevation, paired doors will be replaced with a single window, and paired windows replaced with paired doors. Two new windows and a door will be added on the rear wall. On the west elevation, two windows will be added to an existing pair of mulled windows. 4) Install landscape improvements, including in-place replacement of the driveway, walkways, and swimming pool, and installation of a gate in the side fence. The driveway will be brick and will be within the same general footprint as the existing. The front walkway will consist of concrete pavers within a gravel band, leading to a brick walkway with steps, and a walkway from Hartford Rd. to the side entrance will be concrete pavers. A walkway from the back of the carport to the addition will be gravel. Work also entails removal of other site pathways, landscape edging, and fencing that divides the side yard.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS JUNE 28, 2021 HR-2021-084547 ROGERS WASHINGTON HOLY CROSS HISTORIC DISTRICT 2401 GIVENS AVENUE B.9 – 1 PROPOSAL Replace windows at front and rear of contributing house. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Replace 2 aluminum slider windows at front elevation. Proposed replacements are aluminum-clad vinyl-wood composite material with screens to match existing. 2) Replace 1 aluminum window at rear elevation. Proposed replacement is aluminum-clad vinyl-wood composite material with screen to match existing. ARCHITECTURE STANDARDS FOR REVIEW One-story Transitional Ranch house clad in brick with side-gabled roof, built-in planters, sliding and clerestory windows, and deep overhangs at eaves. The Rogers Washington Holy Cross Historic District Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 4.5.1 Do not enlarge, move, or enclose historic window openings on protected facades. Do not create new window openings on protected façades. It may be appropriate to restore original window openings that have been enclosed. 4.5.2 Repair historic windows, surrounds, and elements rather than replacing them. If replacement is necessary due to severe deterioration or damage, or to meet a whole-house energy standard along with other energy-efficiency measures, the replacement shall match the historic window size, profile, appearance, window pane number and configuration, and other design characteristics. The relationship between the replacement windows, the window surrounds, and the screens (if present) shall match the original. 4.5.3 Do not install vinyl-clad wood windows or vinyl-sash windows. 4.5.4 Muntins, the strip of wood or metal separating and holding panes of glass in a window, must match the profile of the original window with either true divided lights or dimensional muntins placed on the outside of the glass. 4.5.5 Replacement glazing shall be clear. The application of clear ultraviolet (UV) film to window glazing is the least costly option for reducing heat gain from sunlight and may be an acceptable addition to window glass. The proposed project does not move, enlarge, or otherwise alter window openings. The replacements at the building’s protected façade match the original existing windows in profile, size, appearance, and configuration. The replacement at the rear matches the existing window. Proposed replacement windows are aluminum-clad composite with stainless steel tracks; only vinyl and vinyl-clad wood is prohibited by the standards. All windows are operable, and all proposed new glazing is clear. The project meets the applicable standards. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JUNE 28, 2021 GF-2021-060230 CLARKSVILLE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1805 WATERSTON AVENUE C.1 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1952 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story side-gabled house with partial-width gabled porch, 2:2:2 picture window, board-and-batten siding, and attached carport. The house at 1805 Waterston Avenue was built around 1952 for Kelly Louis and Johnnie Mary Jackson Meador. Kelly Meador taught vocational studies at the Texas State Blind, Deaf, and Orphan School (later the Texas State School for the Deaf). A pastor’s son, Meador was an active member of the Metropolitan AME congregation. The Meadors were both Tillotson College alumni and contributed to the United Negro College Fund as fundraising committee members. They also operated the Economy Radio and TV Service, a repair shop, around 1959. STAFF COMMENTS The building contributes to the Clarksville National Register Historic District according to a 2018 historic resource survey. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building does not appear to convey architectural significance. b. Historical association. The property is associated with Texas School for the Deaf teacher Kelly Louis Meador. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d. Community value. The property does not possess a unique location, physical characteristic, or significant feature that contributes to the character, image, or cultural identity of the city, the neighborhood, or a particular demographic group. e. Landscape feature. The property is not a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, aesthetic, cultural, or historical value to the city. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Encourage rehabilitation and adaptive reuse, then relocation, but release the demolition permit upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package. New construction at this address must be reviewed by the Historic Landmark Commission prior to demolition permit release.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JUNE 28, 2021 HR-2021-083636 WILLOW-SPENCE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 902 SPENCE STREET C.10 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a two-story rear addition to a one-story frame house. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS AND DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS The existing house is a one-story, rectangular-plan, pyramidal-roofed-roof frame house with a partial-width inset porch. The applicant proposes to construct a two-story, pyramidal-roof rear addition with a combination of vertical metal panels and horizontal wood siding and a composition shingle roof. The addition will have an inset balcony on the back of the structure; it will be supported on steel posts. The Willow-Spence National Register Historic District does not have specific design guidelines for new additions to contributing buildings, but the City has developed a uniform set of design guidelines for projects such as this: RA1.1 Locate additions to the rear and sides of historic buildings to minimize visual impact. The project complies. RA1.3 If an addition adds a story to the historic building, set it back from the front wall to minimize visual impact. The project complies. RA1.5: Minimize the loss of historic fabric by connecting additions to the existing building through the least possible invasive location and means. Staff recommends consideration of this standard to minimize the loss of historic fabric. RA2.1 Design an addition to complement the scale and massing of the building, including height. The addition must appear subordinate to the historic building. The proposed addition is two stories on a one-story house but complements the scale and massing of the existing house. RA2.2 Minimize the appearance of the addition from the street faced by the historic building’s front wall. The project complies. RA3.1 Design additions to be compatible with and differentiated from the historic building, if they are visible from the street. Design proportions and patterns such as window-to-wall area ratios, floor-to-floor heights, fenestration patterns, and bay divisions to increase compatibility. The proposed addition uses the form of the existing house as a guide but then uses a blank front wall which is out of character with the contributing buildings n the neighborhood and district. RA3.2 No particular architectural style is required for addition design. Designs in both traditional and contemporary styles can successfully achieve compatibility and differentiation with historic buildings. The proposed addition is compatible in its style with the existing building, but the use of vertical metal panels is at odds with the …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JUNE 28, 2021 HR-2021-082850 WEST LINE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1415 W. 10TH STREET C.11 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish ca. 1939 noncontributing secondary apartment. Construct new building, detached cabana, and garage. 1) Demolish existing noncontributing building. 2) Construct a new primary building. The proposed new construction is two and one-half stories in height. It is set back approximately 134’ from W. 10th Street, atop the relative location of the existing garage apartment building. It is clad in a Dekton-brand prefabricated masonry composite paneling system, with glass handrails, painted-steel accents, a curved secondary façade, and single-pane fixed windows with irregular placement and dimensions at all elevations. The compound roofline features multiple materials and pitches, including shallow hipped metal, flat, and flat with “green” roofing. 3) Construct a two-story garage. The garage is attached to the main building by an enclosed glass walkway at the second floor and is set back approximately 100’ from W. 10th Street. It is clad in prefabricated masonry composite panels and sited in front of the main residence. 4) Construct a one-story cabana at the rear of the lot. It is clad in prefabricated masonry composite panels and sited behind the main residence. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects in National Register Historic Districts The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1.1 Set back a new primary building from the street in line with nearby historic buildings. An appropriate setback may be calculated with the following: a. The setback of one adjacent contributing historic building; or b. The median of contributing historic buildings on the same block. This method must be used if contributing buildings on the block have a variety of setbacks. 1.2 Locate a new building to maintain the rhythm of contributing buildings on the street. 1.3 Locate accessory buildings in a way that follows the historic location and setback patterns of similar buildings on the block or in the district. Garage apartments, detached garages, and other accessory buildings are typically located at the rear of the lot, behind and to the side of the front building. The proposed main building is sited at the rough location of the existing noncontributing building, set back approximately 134’ from W. 10th Street. …

Ed Richardson Contreras, Kalan Allen, Amber 1415 W 10th St | OWANA and Neighborhood Meeting Dates Summary Monday, June 21, 2021 12:49:02 PM From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: H Folks, Below is a summary of our outreach to both OWANA’s Zoning Committee and through that process to the adjacent neighbors to the project. We will also meet with them (OWANA) Thursday the 24th to give them an update. For context, our client’s father became sick after the second round of meetings (and eventually passed away early 2021) so the project was somewhat delayed as a result – hence the gap between the fall meetings and permitting in 2021. We will send the updated presentation on Thursday for distribution to HLC members. -9.24.2020: OWANA Zoning Committee Meeting: Ed Richardson | CRA presents existing site conditions and proposed design to OWANA Zoning Committee. - 10.13.2020: Meeting with Adjacent Neighbors: Ed Richardson | CRA meets all directly adjacent neighbors at 1415 W 10th to review proposed design. Topics included: - Reviewed Existing and Proposed Drainage on site with east neighbor. - Reviewed Height and Location of proposed structures. Reviewed what each neighbor with views into the lot could expect to see from their homes. - Discussed Fence Heights and Location. We will revisit the Fence and Fence Heights when project is closer to construction. We are open to a lower fence along 10thstreet. - Reviewed Second Floor Window Alignments: between the proposed structure and the existing home to the east. Clark Richardson field surveyed the window locations and mapped them on the survey and reviewed with property owner. There are no direct window alignments. - 10.22.2020: OWANA Zoning Committee Meeting II: Ed Richardson | CRA presented our responses to the comments / concerns from the previous meeting Shoring: The noise and disruption from potential shoring for the construction of the basement was a primary concern for neighbors. CRA recommends no driven piles be used for shoring and instead drilled piers be used in any temporary shoring required. The structural work for the shoring will be part of the means and methods for construction of the basement by the contractor and therefore while it will be engineered. The precise drawings will not be included in the architectural drawings. Street Façade: We’re proposing a specimen tree be added in front of the street façade complimenting the window located towards the west side of the façade …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JUNE 28, 2021 SB-2021-071307, 2021-071325 CONGRESS AVENUE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 111 CONGRESS AVENUE C.9 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Install two freestanding gateway signs adjacent to a non-historic building and plaza. The gateway signs for Fareground Eat + Drink will be located at the steps down to the sunken plaza of 111 Congress Ave. Sign A is near the corner of Congress Ave. and E. Cesar Chavez St. Sign B is along a diagonal sidewalk from the corner of Congress Ave. and E. 2nd St. Both signs will be 15’-3 7/8” tall. Their widths are based on the width of the stairs at each location. Sign A is 19’-4 ¾” wide, while Sign B is 26’-6 ¾” wide. The signs consist of reverse-lit channel letters mounted to 3” horizontal gold bars, which in turn are mounted to 8” black square posts. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The City of Austin’s Historic Sign Standards are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Number of signs. The Commission allows one sign per building, unless the building has multiple tenants; in this case, the Commission may allow one sign per façade module if the façade modules correspond to tenant spaces. The Commission may also allow one sign for each street frontage if the building is at an intersection. Sign types. The Commission may allow window signs, awning signs, projecting signs, and flush mounted signs for most commercial buildings. Freestanding signs are allowed for office and retail uses in historic residential buildings. Constructed in 1987, 111 Congress is a Late-Modernist office tower sited diagonally across the middle of the block to create a sunken plaza at the corner of Congress Ave. and Cesar Chavez St. The sign standards do not address this type of building or site, as public plazas in the Sixth Street and Congress Avenue historic districts are uncommon and are not historic in age. Further, the sign standards primarily address historic commercial buildings of a much more limited size and are not directly applicable to a building that occupies a full city block. The proposed gateway signs will be in addition to existing signage. This includes building-mounted signs for Wells Fargo Bank, primary building signage with a tenant directory along the sidewalk …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER DISTRICTS JUNE 28, 2021 HR-2021-082905; PR-2021-070768 WILSHIRE NATIONAL REGISTER DISTRICT 4200 LULLWOOD ROAD C.9 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Partially demolish ca. 1948 contributing house; construct a two-story rear addition; and replace steel casement windows with fiberglass windows. 1) Demolition of rear garage and bedroom additions. 2) Construction of a new two-story addition within a similar footprint as the existing additions. The complex roof of the addition, with a central hip and gabled and hipped extensions, will largely appear side gabled as viewed from the front and will have composition shingles to match the house. The addition will be clad in fiber cement siding, with multi- light fixed and casement windows to match the proportions, size, and design of the replacement windows for the house. 3) Replacement of original steel casement windows with fixed or casement fiberglass windows. The specified windows are Andersen 100 series in dark bronze with full divided lights. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH This side-gabled Ranch-style house sits within an expansive yard with mature oak trees, as is characteristic of the Wilshire National Register District. The front entrance is slightly recessed, next to a projecting front-facing gable. The house is clad in random ashlar limestone, with horizontal siding in the gable ends and on rear additions. Windows are single or groupings of up to four steel casement windows. The house at 4200 Lullwood Road was constructed around 1948 and owned by Hilton E. and Eleanor Nau through at least 1959. The Naus are known for founding Nau’s Enfield Drug Store, which remains in operation at W. 12th and West Lynn streets in the West Line National Register District. Historically, multiple drug stores bore the Nau name, most owned by Hilton’s older brother Ladner. Ladner Nau came to Austin in 1926 to go to pharmacy school at the University of Texas. After working at a drug store for a couple of years, he and the proprietor of that store opened the Community Drug Store at 1201 E. 1st (Cesar Chavez) and Waller streets. Shortly thereafter, he bought the business outright. In 1935, Ladner established Nau’s San Jacinto Drug Store at 1819–21 San Jacinto St. This location remained in operation for nearly 30 years. Nau’s Drug Store No. 2 at 913 E. 1st St. operated under the management of Maynard Anderson from at least 1949 through 1959. In 1964, Ladner Nau closed the San …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS JUNE 28, 2021 PR-2021-084005 3009 BOWMAN AVENUE D.10 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Demolish a ca. 1941 house, a ca. 2018 addition, and pool. One-story Colonial Revival-styled wood frame house with a front-gabled entry and a partial-width independent porch on round columns; single and paired fenestration. The original house has a large, two-story, front-gabled frame addition to the south, which replaced a what appears to be an original detached garage, and then a later detached garage. The original house retains its articulation despite the additions to the south. The house appears to have been built around 1941 for John Barclay, the pastor of the Central Christian Church in downtown Austin. There is a water service permit to Burt Dyke, who owned the large estate at what was the end of Bowman Avenue, and whose home is now known as the Tarry House; there does not appear to be a building permit for this house; but the water service permit does reference this address. John and Mattie Barclay were married in 1941, and he began his pastorship at Central Christian that year. Barclay was an influential leader in Austin’s religious community, organizing the Austin Council of Churches. He presided at Central Christian over its period of greatest growth, and offered the Protestant prayer at the inauguration of President John F. Kennedy in 1961. While serving as U.S. Senator, Lyndon B. Johnson was a member of this church. STAFF COMMENTS Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The original building is more than 50 years old. 2) The original building is still discernible, but has a large non-historic addition. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined it may meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The house is a good example of Colonial Revival architecture, and reflects a variant of Colonial Revival that was more common in the Carolinas; John Barclay, the first owner of this house, was from North Carolina. While Barclay would definitely recognize the original part of the house, the new addition to the south dwarfs it so there is a question of integrity here that the Commission needs to decide as to whether the house meets the architectural significance criterion at this point. b. Historical association. The house is associated with John Barclay, who lived here from 1941 until his retirement. Barclay was the pastor …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS JUNE 28, 2021 PR-2021-064110 2305 RIO GRANDE STREET D.2 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1921 house. ARCHITECTURE One-and a half story 1920s Craftsman cottage with Colonial Revival influences; the house has a side-gabled composition with an elevated roofline at the rear to accommodate a second story under the main roofline; it is unclear whether this is original architecture or a later addition, but appears to be of historic age. The façade consists of a twin set of front-facing gablets, each containing a double set of windows. The principal entry in centered in the façade with a single window on each side of the door and a projecting portico on round columns and with a round-arched eyebrow roofline at the center. RESEARCH STAFF COMMENTS This house was the home of Fred and Nellie Kingdon, who lived here from 1921 until their deaths. Fred Kingdon was a native of Illinois who worked as a car salesman for Covert Auto Company after managing Isaac Bledsoe’s piano and organ store. His 1967 death certificate showed him to be the manager of a music company, so perhaps he went back into the music business in his later years, but city directories show him as a car salesman for the majority of his career. His first wife, Nell, died in 1940, and Fred married again; his second wife Delsie was an administrative secretary for the University of Texas. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined it does not meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The house is a relatively common type of 1920s residential housing that is found in many neighborhoods near the UT campus and in the North University neighborhood. This house does not represent an outstanding example of this style. However, ironically, it is adjacent to the historic landmark Robert L. Moore house, which was moved to the neighborhood for its preservation, partly because of the context of the neighborhood (which has since continued to be degraded with new student housing developments). b. Historical association. The house does not have any significant historical associations; it was owned and occupied by a music store manager who then became a car salesman for most of the historic period. …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS JUNE 28, 2021 PR-2021-066307 1611 CANTERBURY STREET D.3 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1904 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story, wing-and-gable plan, frame house with a partial-width independent porch on ornamental metal posts; front door with a transom; single 1:1 fenestration; synthetic siding. The house appears to have been built around 1904 for Nathaniel Hessey, a pioneer merchant and jeweler in Austin. Hessey worked for John A. Jackson, a jeweler and silversmith at the time he first appears in city directories at this address. From 1904 until his death in 1908, he is listed as a pawnbroker and jeweler. His wife, Tennie, then continued to reside in this house, but also is listed at 2309 San Antonio Street, a house where she also took in boarders. Tennie Hessey resided here sporadically, more constantly in her later years; she died in 1949. Tennie Hessey’s daughter, Helen Duval, is also listed at this address in her mother’s later years. She was married to Easton Duval, a design engineer for the highway department. In the late 1950s, the family sold the house to Frank and Pauline Casarez, who lived here at least through the early 1990s. Frank Casarez was an optician for Dickinson Optical for many years. STAFF COMMENTS The East Austin Historic Resources Survey (2016) recommends this house as contributing to a potential local or NR historic district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high integrity with the exception of the siding, doors, and windows. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined it may meet the criterion for architectural significance but does not meet any other criterion squarely. a. Architecture. The house represents a residential type that once was common in middle-class Austin neighborhoods at the turn of the century, but has become rare with time and development. This house has lost its integrity of materials over the years, but has the potential for restoration, as all of its architectural elements remain intact; the house has architectural significance in that it is an increasingly rare example of its type. b. Historical association. The house does not have the required historical associations necessary for designation as a historic landmark. The house first associated with an early jeweler and pawnbroker; after his death, his widow …

One-story Minimal Traditional house with asbestos cladding and a hipped roof. The front porch is inset and features a metal railing with modest Art Moderne influences. Windows are multi-light steel casement and 1:1 wood sash. Behind the house is an apartment with vertical grooved siding, surmounted by a hipped roof with an integral carport. Hubert S. and Mary K. Wall owned the house from the late 1940s through 1971 or later. Mary Kate Wall (nee Parker, 1912- 1998) was an attorney and, until her retirement in 1970, the state’s leading authority on election law. After earning an LL.B. with honors from the University of Texas, she was licensed to practice law in 1934. Beginning in 1950, she worked for 17 years as an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Texas, where she was as an elections expert and wrote the state’s first modern election code. In 1967, Mary Kate Wall joined the Secretary of State’s office and headed their elections division. In addition to writing significant opinions regarding election proceedings, she trained local elections officials, the League of Women Voters, and others through speaking engagements. Dr. Hubert Stanley Wall (1902–1971) was a professor of mathematics. He taught at Northwestern University and the Illinois Institute of Technology before coming to the University of Texas in 1946, where he spent the remainder of his career. Dr. Wall’s focus was continued fractions, studied since Euclid and written as fractions within fractions. His book The Analytic Theory of Continued Fractions is considered a standard reference in this field. He was also known for a teaching method in which he sought to develop the creative capacity of students to provide proofs of complex mathematical theorems. During the 1950s, the back apartment on the property was occupied by Rosealthe Parker, Mary Kate Wall’s mother. STAFF COMMENTS The 2020 draft report Historic Resources Survey of North Loop, Hancock, and Upper Boggy Creek Planning Areas lists the property as a medium priority but does not recommend a historic district in this area. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS JUNE 28, 2021 PR-2021-080409 811 E. 16TH STREET D.5 – 1 PROPOSAL Partial demolition of stucco walls to reinforce framing, re-stucco over areas of selective demolition; installation of new windows to replace windows that have deteriorated beyond repair. The house is the Stasswender House, a potential historic landmark associated with Anton Stasswender, who was responsible for many of the headstones in the adjacent Oakwood Cemetery, State Cemetery, and other cemeteries and stonework sites in Austin. The applicant is aware of the importance of the house and is seeking Historic Landmark Commission review and approval of this project. The applicant proposes replacement of all wood-sash single-hung windows with a new product that reproduces the appearance of the existing wood sash single-hung windows. This product further satisfies modern energy and maintenance goals without sacrificing the historic appearance of the house. The applicant further proposes the removal of some windows from the back of the house that will not affect his historic appearance of the house. ARCHITECTURE AND RESEARCH The Stasswwender House is an eclectic house at the edge of the freeway and Oakwood Cemetery to the east. It was the longtime home of Anton Stasswender, a German immigrant who brought his stone-carving skills to Austin around the turn of the 20th century and made his name, along with fellow immigrants Peter Mansbendel and Fortunat Weigl, within the craftsperson community of Austin, bringing Old World craftsmanship to residential, religious, and commercial building in the city. This house is a stuccoed one-and-a half story frame house on a raised cut stone foundation with single and paired 1:1 wood fenestration; it was the home of the Stasswender family from around 1930 until the late 1970s and may qualify as a historic landmark for its architecture and associations with Anton Stasswender. This house was surveyed as part of an IH-35 historic resources survey performed by TxDOT. The house was determined eligible to a potential historic district that included several houses in the neighborhood, but not singled out as a potential city historic landmark or individual property eligible for designation under the National Register of Historic Places. D.5 – 2 STAFF COMMENTS The house has long been identified as a potential historic landmark due to its distinctive architecture and historical associations. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high …

ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story National Folk house with a hipped roof and full-width integral porch supported by Doric columns. The front door has a transom and sidelights. Windows are 1:1, with the exception of a picture window on the façade. The house at 2007 Willow St. was constructed around 1912. Lamar Q. Cato, a draftsman for architect George A. Endress, occupied the house between 1912 and 1914, followed by a succession of renters, including a boilermaker and a lineman. Beginning in 1922, the occupants were Edward B. and Emma Harris and their daughter and son-in-law, Ola and Charles A. Childress. Through the 1920s, Edward and Emma both worked as clerks at various establishments, and Charles was a firefighter. By 1932, Edward founded a grocery store on E. 6th Street, and Ola worked there as a clerk. In 1935, Charles is listed as a business partner in the grocery. The venture was short-lived, however, due to Edward’s death shortly thereafter. Emma continued to live in the house until her death in 1939. Charles and Ola owned the house through 1952. Charles worked in a variety of ventures. Ola was active in the Metz Elementary PTA and taught piano in the home. The house was subsequently occupied by a series of renters. STAFF COMMENTS The property is listed as non-contributing to the recommended South East Austin Historic District in the 2016 East Austin Historic Resource Survey. Staff disagrees that modifications are significant enough to render the house non-contributing. 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). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not appear to meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The house is a good example of a National Folk house with modest Classical Revival detailing but has alterations, including a picture window on the façade. b. Historical association. The house does not appear to have significant historical associations. While the Harris and Childress families lived in the home for around 30 years, they do not appear to have made significant contributions to Austin’s history. c. Community value. The property does not possess a unique location, physical characteristic, or significant feature that …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS JUNE 28, 2021 PR-2021-079768; GF-2021-086716 1308 ALTA VISTA AVENUE D.7 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Partially demolish and modify a ca. 1935 residence by altering the existing roofline to construct a roof deck; removing and adding windows and doors with fiberglass, wood, and vinyl units; repairing siding; and enclosing walkway and porte- cochère with storefront assemblies. Two-story Colonial Revival house clad in brick with 6:6 wood windows, full-width front porch with flat and gabled roof supported by boxed columns, recessed entryway with decorative pilasters, and arched porte-cochère. The house at 1308 Alta Vista Avenue was constructed in or before 1935 by Alden and Mabel Davis. Alden Davis was a businessman who managed the auto supply division at the Walter Tips Company, eventually becoming a member of the board of directors and vice-president of the enterprise. His wife, Mabel Davis, was a civic leader who founded, led, and participated in many charitable and educational endeavors throughout her long tenure in the home. Best known for her enthusiasm for gardening, Davis helped to found and manage Austin’s garden club circuit, opening her home to club members for events and regular meetings from the time it was constructed until her death. She served as Texas’ state chairman for roadside beautification and as a member of the Parks board, along with other positions of honor. The rose garden at Zilker Botanical Gardens is named for Davis, in honor of her contributions as chairman and founder of the Austin Area Garden Center, Inc. In her joint role as chairman of the Botanical Garden’s building committee, she worked with City Council and local architect Hugo Kuehne to construct the Austin Area Garden Center at Zilker Botanical Gardens. According to the City’s Parks and Recreation Department and Zilker Botanical Garden Conservancy: [In 1954,] six Austin Garden Clubs requested permission from the City to erect a Garden Center on city property. Mrs. Mabel Davis lead the effort with founding clubs including the Violet Crown Garden Club, the Men’s Garden Club (now the Garden Club of Austin), Wilshire Area Garden Club, the Austin Women’s Federation Garden Group (now The Garden G.A.N.G.), Heart of the Hills Garden Club, and Western Hills Garden Club (now West Lake Hills Garden Club). [In 1955,] The City of Austin accepted the idea and in April of 1956, the group filed articles of incorporation with the Texas Secretary …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS JUNE 28, 2021 GF-2021-086008 THREADGILL’S 6416 NORTH LAMAR BOULEVARD D.8 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE Demolition of non-historic additions to Kenneth Threadgill’s service station on North Lamar Boulevard and restoration/reincorporation of much of the original building into a new development. The original part of this building is a ca. 1933 Gulf Oil service station, which was large for its time and followed a predilection for Southwestern-influenced service stations in Texas and the southwest. Threadgill’s service station has a Mission Revival form with stuccoed corner posts and a segmental-arched open service canopy across the front. W. Dwayne Jones, in his “A Field Guide to Gas Stations in Texas” (2003) notes that many national service stations began to adopt an identifiable appearance in the late 1920s and early 1930sw; Gulf, founded in Texas, built many service stations in Texas following a Southwestern motif, as reflected in the original section of Threadgills. In the late 1970s, owner Eddie Wilson, purchased the property and transformed it into a café, adding additions flanking the original service canopy, giving it more of a “diner” flair. Wilson also added on to the rear of the building for his restaurant and kitchen. However, despite the additions, the original footprint of the building is still very evident, even if the original walls have been lost. Undated business card for Threadgill’s shows the configuration of the building and the Southwestern style of the old service station. Note the open front service canopy and the footprint of the office and supply rooms which later became the location of Threadgill’s Tavern and home of his Hootenany open mic sessions, drawing local musicians in the 1950s and 1960. D.8 – 2 RESEARCH Kenneth Threadgill, who had operated the Gulf station at 6416 N. Lamar for a short time, obtained the first beer license issued in Travis County after the end of Prohibition in 1933. He opened a tavern and beer hall at his service station, and the place became renowned in Austin for hosting musicians, who would plan for beer money and food, as well as some of the biggest acts in country music. Threadgill, a renowned blues yodeler and musician in his own right, began hosting open- mic nights at his service station, which after World War II, began attracting UT students, including the young Janis Joplin, who began her career of performing in public here. …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS JUNE 28, 2021 PR-2021-084227 916 BOULDIN AVENUE D.9 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1936 house. ARCHITECTURE One-story Craftsman-style side-gabled frame cottage with a prominent battered brick chimney to the right of the principal entry; the chimney has random stones to give a rustic effect. Beside the random stone placement in the brick chimney, the house also has some Tudor Revival elements, including a steeply-pitched gablet above the front door with false half- timbering in the tympanum, and a small front-facing gablet in the roof to the left of the front entry. Fenestration consists of single and paired 1:1 windows with wooden screens. RESEARCH STAFF COMMENTS The house appears to have been built around 1936. The first occupants were John T McCutcheon, Jr. and his wife Victoria, who rented this house until around 1948. John T. McCutcheon, Jr. was a clerk at the city abbatoir, the city’s meat processing plant open to area ranchers to sell meat. The house was vacant for a short period of time before being rented then owned by James S. and Mary J. Ramsey, who lived here at least through the end of the 1950s. James S. and Mary Jane Ramsey were distributors of Watkins Products, a local flavoring extract company that is still in business as a work-from-home company with a wide range of products, including flavoring extracts, balms, salves, and ointments. The house was determined contributing to the potential Bouldin Creek Neighborhood Historic District. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that while the house may qualify for its architecture, it lacks the significant historical associations necessary for designation as a historic landmark. a. Architecture. The house is a typical 1930s style Craftsman cottage with Tudor Revival ornamentation; its prominent exterior chimney on the front of the of the house makes it notable in this neighborhood and may qualify the house for landmark designation based upon its architecture. b. Historical association. The house lacks significant historical associations. The occupants were a book-keeper at the city abbatoir and a distributor of flavoring extracts, neither of whom would fulfill the requirements for significant historical associations under the landmark designation criteria. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated …

M E M O R A N D U M TO: FROM: DATE: Historic Landmark Commission Historic Preservation Office staff January 8, 2021; updated June 25, 2021 SUBJECT: Demolition or relocation permit applications for property owned by religious organizations Texas Local Government Code § 211.0165 provides municipal authority for historic landmark designation. In 2019, the Texas Legislature amended that authority through House Bill 2496, 86 (R). In addition to introducing a supermajority requirement for landmark designation over owner objection, the bill provided that property owned by a religious organization may not be designated without owner consent. Subsection (b) states: If the property is owned by an organization that qualifies as a religious organization under Section 11.20, Tax Code, the municipality may designate the property as a local historic landmark only if the organization consents to the designation [emphasis added]. A religious organization under Section 11.20 of the Tax Code is defined as one that is organized and operated primarily for the purpose of engaging in religious worship or promoting the spiritual development or well-being of individuals; is operated in a way that does not result in accrual of distributable profits, realization of private gain resulting from payment of compensation in excess of a reasonable allowance for salary or other compensation for services rendered, or realization of any other form of private gain; and must use its assets in performing the organization’s religious functions or the religious functions of another religious organization; and by charter, bylaw, or other regulation adopted by the organization to govern its affairs direct that on discontinuance of the organization by dissolution or otherwise the assets are to be transferred to this state, the United States, or a charitable, educational, religious, or other similar organization that is qualified as a charitable organization under the IRS Code of 1954. Most active churches qualify as religious organizations under the Texas Tax Code and are therefore subject to the provisions of § 211.0165 of the Local Government Code. Demolition and relocation permits for properties without historic designation Under Land Development Code § 25-11-213, Historic Preservation Office staff reviews all applications for demolition or relocation permits for properties that are at least fifty years of age. The purpose of this review is to determine if a property may meet the criteria for designation as a historic landmark and thus should be referred to the Historic Landmark Commission for a public hearing. …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS JUNE 28, 2021 C14H-1974-0015; HR-2021-082637 ELISABET NEY MUSEUM 304 E. 44TH STREET B.10 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Install new heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) equipment. 1) Remove existing rooftop HVAC equipment from the roof over the studio. Repair roof and masonry, as needed. 2) Install new rooftop HVAC equipment on the upper roof over the retreat, including a packaged rooftop unit and four condensing units. Install new ground-level equipment on existing pad at the rear of the building. 3) Limited removal of historic masonry at two locations at the parapet for routing of ductwork from the rooftop units to the various rooms of the building, and for two louvers at the basement level. ARCHITECTURE STANDARDS FOR REVIEW Repair and alterations Sites and streetscapes The Elisabet Ney Museum, historically the home and studio of this renowned sculptor, is a flat-roofed building constructed of rusticated limestone. From the front, the porticoed main entrance leads to a lofty studio space, with a lower one-story reception room to the left, and to the right, a three-story stair tower and stepped back two-story volume that contains an exhibit room and retreat. Castellations punctuate the parapets of the tower, reception room, and two-story portion. The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects at historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1.1 Do not remove intact historic material from the exterior of a building. Limited masonry removal is necessary to accommodate the HVAC requirements. This will occur in unobtrusive areas and will not diminish the integrity of the building. 3.1 Locate mechanical and energy conservation equipment and rainwater collection systems where they will not obscure or intrude upon the primary view of the building. Existing rooftop mechanical equipment is large, highly visible, and detracts from the architecture and interpretation of this significant site. The present location is on a portion of the roof Ney used as a sun deck. Renderings illustrate that the new equipment will be minimally visible in primary views of the building from E. 44th St. The project meets the applicable standards. The HVAC system is thoughtfully designed and will be relatively inconspicuous from the exterior and interior of the museum. COMMITTEE FEEDBACK Not reviewed. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the application. LOCATION MAP B.10 …

B.4 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS MAY 24, 2021 C14H-1986-0015 GRANDBERRY BUILDING 907 CONGRESS AVENUE PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Review of a plan to deconstruct, store, and re-erect historic building façade. Catalog and store, then re-erect the historic building façades of the Grandberry Building, Mitchell-Robertson Building, and the building at 911 Congress Ave. as part of a redevelopment project at a later date. In conjunction with proposed additions, deconstruction and reconstruction of these façades has received approval from the Historic Landmark Commission on three separate occasions: September 25, 2006 (for 907 and 909 Congress Ave. only), January 26, 2015 (pending development of more detailed plans for treatment of the three façades), and June 25, 2018. See Prior Commission Action below. On March 24, 2021, the Building Standards Commission (BSC) issued an order requiring that conditions be remedied within 90 days or imposing fines on the property owner. The BSC orders are uploaded as backup to this meeting for reference. In discussion at the April 24, 2021 meeting, Commissioners suggested that the applicant determine if scaffolding erected for purposes of documenting and dismantling the façades would suffice for compliance with the BSC orders. The orders do not mention stabilization or bracing as options, and Code Department staff have confirmed that scaffolding would be insufficient to meet the requirements. Instead, the orders require repairs to fully remedy the violations, which include cracks and openings in exterior walls, roof and drainage issues, and missing windows, among other concerns. Per the applicant, stabilization and repair of the buildings in place is not technically feasible due to the extent of deterioration, including mortar loss, shear failures and racking, and the inability to adequately shore the façades following demolition of masonry party walls that provide lateral support. In particular, the wall abutting the Mutual Building, an adjacent historic landmark, requires demolition to allow that property owner to perform needed repairs. The proposed scope of work entails developing a detailed plan for deconstruction and reconstruction of the historic façades, including as an initial phase: review of existing documentation, visual and non-destructive analysis of building materials and assemblies, structural evaluation, and development of a finalized scope of work and sequence of implementation. Laser scanning has been performed, and analysis of the resulting point cloud is underway. Deconstruction will be done by hand and treated much like an archeological investigation, with specific conditions and …
June 4, 2021 Elizabeth Brummett Development Services Manager City of Austin - Historic Preservation Office Via Electronic Delivery Re: 907, 909, and 911 Congress Avenue – Historic Review Applications for three 0.845 acre pieces of property located at 907, 909, and 911 Austin, TX 78724 (the “Properties”) Dear Ms. Brummett: As representatives of the owner of the Properties and the buildings thereon (the “Buildings”), we respectfully submit the enclosed historic review application packages (the “Applications”). The Applications reflect our months-long effort to comply with directives from both the City of Austin Building and Standards (“BSC) Commission and Historic Landmark Commission (“HLC”). In the Fall of 2020, complaints were made to BSC regarding the condition of the Buildings, which led BSC to issue a secure façade order in February 2021. On February 12 and March 8, 2021, we made presentations to HLC’s Architectural Review Committee requesting that HLC provide direction as to how we could forward with the safe deconstruction of the Buildings, as any demolition permit requires HLC approval. After the façades were secured, BSC issued follow-up orders on March 24, 2021 requiring that all cited violations be corrected at the Buildings by June 22, 2021 (the “Orders”). The Orders include a requirement that we receive all necessary approvals from HLC. For your convenience, we have attached the Orders hereto as Exhibit A. At the March, April, and May HLC monthly meetings (the February meeting was cancelled due to weather), we presented our findings that we could not safely hold the Building façades in place while complying with the Orders. We have attached two letters from structural engineers stating as much hereto as Exhibits C and D. It is our restated position that compliance with the Orders while leaving any portion of the façades in place is impracticable. We bring these applications reflecting this position and plan to deconstruct and reconstruct the Buildings in a manner that respects and protects their historic nature as much as is reasonably possible. The applications packet includes a scope of work provided by Architect Donna Carter, which explains the extent of work contemplated to retain as much historic material as possible for all three buildings. 200 Lee Barton Drive, Suite 100 | Austin, Texas 78704 | 512-807-2900 | www.drennergroup.com Please let me know if you or your team members require additional information or have any questions.

While the Mitchell-Robertson Building is in relatively better condition than the other two buildings, two independent structural engineering letters have determined that the façade cannot be braced during construction. A 2014 letter, not included in previous packets, cites the tie backs as indication of shear failure that would prevent safely bracing the masonry.

There are no direct window alignments. 10.22.2020: OWANA Zoning Committee Meeting II: Ed Richardson | CRA presented our responses to the comments / concerns from the previous meeting Shoring: The noise and disruption from potential shoring for the construction of the basement was a primary concern for neighbors. CRA recommends no driven piles be used for shoring and instead drilled piers be used in any temporary shoring required. The structural work for the shoring will be part of the means and methods for construction of the basement by the contractor and therefore while it will be engineered. The precise drawings will not be included in the architectural drawings. Street Façade: We’re proposing a specimen tree be added in front of the street façade complimenting the window located towards the west side of the façade (see 9).

B.1 - 1 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET HLC DATE: PC DATE: November 16, 2009 December 14, 2009 CASE NUMBER: C14H-2009-0059 APPLICANT: 911 Congress, L.L.C., owner HISTORIC NAME: 911 Congress Avenue WATERSHED: Town Lake ADDRESS OF PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE: 911 Congress Avenue ZONING FROM: CBD to CBD-H SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the proposed zoning change from central business district (CBD) district to central business district – Historic Landmark (CBD-H) combining district zoning. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The building is listed in the Comprehensive Cultural Resources Survey (1984) as a priority 2 for research. ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: CITY COUNCIL DATE: ORDINANCE READINGS: 1ST 2ND 3RD CASE MANAGER: Steve Sadowsky NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION: Downtown Austin Neighborhood Association BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: The ca. 1881 commercial building was the home to several prominent early Austin attorneys, Gammel’s Book Store (one of the first west of the Mississippi River), a Jewish tailor, the Knights of Pythias Hall, a prominent local photography studio, a hardware store, and several restaurants. The applicants intend to restore the historic façade of the building in the future. PHONE: 974-6454 Architecture: Two-story rectangular-plan flat-roofed brick commercial building with a concrete slipcover over the second story of the building; the storefront has been modified and boarded over. The building has been vacant for many years. Historical Associations: The building appears to have been built around 1881; it appears in a ca. 1881 photograph of Congress Avenue with cattle grazing in the middle of the street. The B.1 - 2 first known occupants were Carl W. Berryman, who had a dry goods store, and the offices of the White Star Steamship Line. The owner of the property was Duncan Ogden, who passed away in 1859; at some point before 1916, Sol Silverman, a Jewish tailor, who had his shop in this building, purchased the building, which is shown as vacant on the 1894 Sanborn Fire Insurance Company map. Silverman leased space in the building to several prominent early attorneys in Austin, including Charles Stephenson and Henry Faulk (Faulk was the father of John Henry Faulk, who became internationally known as a CBS personality and who was blacklisted during the McCarthy era of the 1950s). Silverman sold the building in 1916, but apparently maintained his tailor shop here until around 1919. Faulk had his offices in the building until around 1915. By 1916, Gammel’s Book Store opened in the building …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS JUNE 28, 2021 GF-2021-085651; DA-2021-094730 AUSTIN CENTRAL FIRE STATION #1 401 E. 5TH ST. D.1 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct an addition to a 1938 fire station, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places; and perform additional repairs and modifications to accommodate ongoing use. 1) Remove existing exterior stairs and service entrances on the rear of the fire station. Construct a 515-square foot addition with a new accessible entrance facing the parking lot. The addition consists of a two-story volume, clad in white stucco and punctuated by a vertical opening with a partial-height window system, and a slightly recessed one-story entrance, with glazing beneath a band of gray stucco. At the side of the second-story portion, above the entrance, is a flat-roofed, suspended awning over a rooftop terrace. 2) Increase the height of both shorter vehicle bay doors on the street-facing elevations to accommodate modern vehicle sizes. This will require removal of the distinctive brick banding at the top of the door openings. 3) Install new steel casement windows consistent with the originals in general design and configuration. 4) Clean and repair brick; repair rusted steel lintels; and replace deteriorated plaster at soffits in-kind. Cleaning will be accomplished with low-pressure water and a gentle cleaning agent, tested first in an inconspicuous area. Deteriorated mortar will be repointed match existing. 5) Update building signage to reflect current use as a fire and EMS station. 6) Include a location at the addition for an outdoor sculpture to be commissioned through the Art in Public Places program. ARCHITECTURE Per the National Register nomination, the Austin Central Fire Station is a 2-story brick building with ‘streamline moderne’ characteristics. The most prominent feature of the building is its symmetrical massing, with identical 2-story wings that extend north and west from each side of the curved entrance at the corner of E. 5th and Trinity streets. The majority of the building is finished with light buff/sand rough face brick. Ornamentation consists of manipulated brick coursings, with darker tan bricks recessed in horizontal rows to suggest streamlining at various points throughout the facade. All roofs on the building are flat and several are used as terraces, establishing the station's affinity to International Modernism. The north wing of the building includes a 1-story addition, originally housing the administration offices for the department. Constructed in 1962 (outside of …

TO: M E M O R A N D U M Historic Landmark Commission members FROM: Cara Bertron, Senior Planner Housing & Planning Department DATE: June 25, 2021 Preservation Plan Working Group selection SUBJECT: The Preservation Plan Committee recommends that the attached list of people be appointed to the Preservation Plan Working Group. This group will develop the draft equity-based historic preservation plan between July 2021 and June 2022. Nearly 150 people applied to participate in the working group, reflecting widespread interest in celebrating and preserving local heritage. The selection process was conducted by members of the Preservation Plan Committee and City staff. Considerations in the process included: • Ensuring that members represent the key stakeholder groups identified in the working group’s creation; • Valuing a range of lived experiences, particularly from groups that have historically been underrepresented in or excluded from public processes. These groups include BIPOC people (Black, Indigenous, and other people of color), transgender people, residents of the Eastern Crescent, and renters; and • Recognition that strong community affiliations and geographic diversity will bring essential perspectives into the working group and help communicate outward about the planning process. If you have any questions, please contact me at cara.bertron@austintexas.gov or (512) 974-1446.

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Mary Reed Friday, June 25, 2021 11:04 AM Cc: Subject: Allen, Amber Regarding 1805 Waterston Avenue, GF-2021-060230 *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Last month on behalf of the Clarksville Community Development Corporation (CCDC), I spoke at your May meeting and requested that the release of a permit to demolish 1805 Waterston Avenue, a home that contributes to the Clarksville National Register District, be postponed. My reason for requesting the delay was so that representatives of the CCDC could have time to contact the new owners of the home, Nalle Custom Homes, to try to avoid the loss of the property or at least come up with a new home design that would be compatible with homes in the Clarksville NRHD. After the delay was granted, architect Aubrey Carter, Gregory Tran and I met with Jesse Nalle here in Clarksville on June 3. We discussed whether Mr. Nalle would consider retaining at least the front facade and sides of the original house. (By the way, 1805 Waterston is a fully renovated, expensive, well maintained home, https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1805‐Waterston‐Ave‐Austin‐TX‐78703/29329920_zpid.) Although Mr. Nalle was not open to that option, he was receptive to modifying his plans for the new home he wants to build after listening to Aubrey Carter's suggestions. For example, he was open to enlarging the front porch to make it more functional, substituting carports for the two front facing garages that were part of his design, and making a few other modifications to the front of the new house. At the end of our meeting, Mr. Nalle promised to send us a revised drawing based on what we had discussed. Also, Aubrey Carter offered to provide on‐going advice and feedback. On June 10th I followed up with Mr. Nalle via email and on that same day, he emailed the following, "We are working on ideas and will get back to you." However, as of today, June 25th, we have yet to see any modified drawings. Therefore, the CCDC requests another postponement of the demo permit release for 1805 Waterston so that Nalle Custom Homes has more time to share new drawings with us and so that we can provide feedback. And the CCDC continues to oppose the demolition of the current structure. Thanks for your consideration of this request. Mary Reed President, CCDC P.S. The CCDC believes that demolition of 1805 Waterston will set a …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS JUNE 28, 2021 PR-2021-066307 1611 CANTERBURY STREET D.3 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1904 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story, wing-and-gable plan, frame house with a partial-width independent porch on ornamental metal posts; front door with a transom; single 1:1 fenestration; synthetic siding. The house appears to have been built around 1904 for Nathaniel Hessey, a pioneer merchant and jeweler in Austin. Hessey worked for John A. Jackson, a jeweler and silversmith at the time he first appears in city directories at this address. From 1904 until his death in 1908, he is listed as a pawnbroker and jeweler. His wife, Tennie, then continued to reside in this house, but also is listed at 2309 San Antonio Street, a house where she also took in boarders. Tennie Hessey resided here sporadically, more constantly in her later years; she died in 1949. Tennie Hessey’s daughter, Helen Duval, is also listed at this address in her mother’s later years. She was married to Easton Duval, a design engineer for the highway department. In the late 1950s, the family sold the house to Frank and Pauline Casarez, who lived here at least through the early 1990s. Frank Casarez was an optician for Dickinson Optical for many years. STAFF COMMENTS The East Austin Historic Resources Survey (2016) recommends this house as contributing to a potential local or NR historic district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high integrity with the exception of the siding, doors, and windows. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined it may meet the criterion for architectural significance but does not meet any other criterion squarely. a. Architecture. The house represents a residential type that once was common in middle-class Austin neighborhoods at the turn of the century, but has become rare with time and development. This house has lost its integrity of materials over the years, but has the potential for restoration, as all of its architectural elements remain intact; the house has architectural significance in that it is an increasingly rare example of its type. b. Historical association. The house does not have the required historical associations necessary for designation as a historic landmark. The house first associated with an early jeweler and pawnbroker; after his death, his widow …

June 24th, 2021 Armbrust & Brown, PLLC Attn: Richard Suttle 100 Congress Avenue, Suite 1300 Austin, Texas 78701-2744 Dear Richard Suttle at Armbrust & Brown, I was asked to tour the home at 2708 Scenic Drive, designed by Roland Roessner in the early 1950s to form an opinion as to its potential architectural significance and its general physical condition. I did not attempt to evaluate the structural condition of the residence. I briefly worked for Mr. Roessner, a professor, while I was an architecture student at the University of Texas at Austin in the early 1960s therefore, I have firsthand knowledge of his design work. This residence is an example of the early mid-century modern genre characterized by practical, expedient, and general cost-effective materials and detailing, imported from California. The home is significantly smaller than all his notable designs and cannot be considered one of his significant works. I was completely unfamiliar with this residence and previously unaware of its existence. Furthermore, there is a featureless addition to the home certainly not designed by Mr. Roessner. Historic designation notwithstanding, salvaging this home would require extensive upgrades to achieve even moderate energy efficiency as there is an approximately 40 foot long, west-facing wall of single-pane, fixed glass among countless other issues affecting efficiency. If this were in fact an example of his more significant work such as 7 Green Lanes or The Oaks Apartments (previously demolished by UT) I would certainly say it should be preserved.

June 25, 2021 Mr. Wayne Hollingsworth Armbrust and Brown. PLLC 100 Congress Avenue Suite 1300 Austin, Texas 78701 RE: 2708 Scenic Drive Mr. Hollingsworth: At your request I reviewed the documents you provided, and I have the following initial comments: Based on the photos and inspections alone the home appears to be in considerable disrepair from neglect and exposure. Tax records indicate that the original house was built in 1955 and the annex in 1967. Both building has ample examples of the structures not meeting current standards. Any attempts to bring these buildings into current standards will certainly impact the original fabric of the architecture. A great deal of the exposed framing will require replacement and proper engineering. Framing joinery is insufficient requiring joist hangers and other visually unappealing solutions. Introducing proper egress, handrail heights and handrail openings will greatly impact the original intent. At what point is the original architecture lost? The soil conditions along Scenic Drive are poor at best. Most homes in the area require pier depths in the order of 20’ deep. I recommend that the slab elevations of the residence is performed to determine if proper performance of the structure is in play. These are but a few comments based on the available documentation thus far. I’m happy to provide more commentary as additional information surfaces. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact this office at 512-499-0919. Sincerely, Jerry Garcia, P.E. License #67435 Firm No: F-3323 6926 N.

Is there a way that you or another staff member can pass along my comments to the Commission members and have them read at the hearing? They are below. If there is another way I should submit them, let me know. We live at 1417 W. 10th St; the property immediately to the west of this project. We generally agree with staff's concerns/comments about the proposed design, as listed in response to the City of Austin's standards for review of a project within a historic district. As staff noted, the project is considerably larger and different in style than most if not all other buildings in the Old West Austin neighborhood. The steel fencing is not compatible with the neighborhood and is rather 'harsh' in a family‐friendly, walkable area, although we appreciate the architect moving the fencing along 10th farther back and behind landscaping in response to our feedback. While we understand the owner's desire to build a large modern house on a large lot, we would continue to ask that he find ways to make the design ‐ through landscaping, building materials, etc. more compatible with the feel of the neighborhood.

OPPORTUNITY AT RISK San Antonio’s Older Affordable Housing Stock Prepared for the San Antonio Office of Historic Preservation Completed by PlaceEconomics 2019 Table of Contents EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION Overview of Housing Affordability Oldering Housing Stock and Affordable Housing 1 2 11 42 43 54 56 OLDER HOUSING STOCK AND AFFORDABILITY: SAN ANTONIO Approach to Analysis The Basics Demolition Risk Analysis A Closer Look at Factors Affecting Demolition Risk CONCLUSION POSSIBLE TOOLS Financial Incentives Financial Disincentives Regulatory Knowledge and Planning Civic Engagement Strategic Home Repair Direct Action RECOMMENDATION MATRIX ACKNOWLEDGMENTS AND METHODOLOGY 57 APPENDICES Executive Summary This study was commissioned by the San Antonio Office of Historic Preservation to understand the contribution of housing stock built before 1960 towards affordable housing. Significant findings include: • One in three San Antonio households is spending more than 30 percent of their income on housing and nearly half of all renters meet this “cost burdened” threshold. • Over the last decade, while median household income increased 1.9% per year, housing prices increased at 4.7% per year. • While San Antonio is experiencing greater than national average growth in jobs and housing, most of the new homes are large and expensive and much of the job growth is in lower wage jobs. The existing pre-1960 housing stock is providing largely unsubsidized and unprotected affordable housing. • • Every week over the last ten years, San Antonio has lost 3 • units of pre-1960 housing to demolition. Twenty-two percent (22%) of all housing units were constructed prior to 1960. • • Pre-1960 homes are smaller than newer homes with a greater share of pre-1960 housing in fair or poor condition than is housing built in 1960 or later. Thirty-three percent (33%) of the households making 60% Area Median Income or less live in neighborhoods with a concentration of pre-1960 housing, including a larger share who identify as Hispanic. The pre-1960 housing stock in San Antonio is home to a large share of long-term residents. • • Single family, renter occupied structures in fair and poor condition are the most at-risk of demolition. • Vacancy rates in older, historically redlined areas of the city are higher and homeownership rates, rents, and general condition are lower than the rest of the city. Given these facts, the use of older, existing pre-1960 housing stock must be a central component of an affordable housing strategy. 22% of all housing units …

We approached these with a goal to minimize the impact to the existing envelope and where interventions where required, to make them as unobtrusive as possible. The lot is elevated above the street by an average of approximately 6’ and the existing home sits at the back of the property which enhances the privacy of the home and minimizes visibility from the street. We worked to be as conscientious as possible regarding and street facing enhancements and minimized these to a proposed addition of a visually “light weight” steel door and window assembly infilled at two openings (East to the street and South to the pool) in the existing carport. This area is to be used as a breakfast and reading area with direct access from the kitchen, interior stairwell, and ground floor guest bedroom. The direct access from the kitchen to this area is accomplish via a new conditioned hallway from the kitchen to the breakfast area that is proposed to be constructed of the same steel glazing assembly. The existing interior stairway once had generous windows that provided natural light for the stairwell but a previous addition eliminated those windows leaving the stairwell dark. We proposed the addition of a low‐ profile light monitor / skylight above the stairwell with small windows facing South, East & North. The height of this element was intentionally kept as low as possible so that it would not be visible from the street. The West side of the house was previously compromised by another addition of an exterior second floor patio with an intersecting gable roof covering approximately 40% of the outdoor space.

I have resided at 1318 Travis Heights Blvd and have owned 1314 Travis Heights Blvd since 1979. I strongly object to approval of a demolition permit for the referenced property. The research conducted by the Historical Landmark Commission documents that the property was the home of civic leaders that were important to Austin's history. Although the Commission concluded that the property did not have "community value", I disagree with that conclusion. While modifications of the property, especially in the rear portions, have not been consistent with the Colonial Revival architecture, the front of the property still retains much of the design elements of the original structure and contributes to the character of the Travis Heights neighborhood. As you well know, our historic Travis Heights neighborhood has seen an unprecedented number of demolitions and rebuilds that have drastically altered the character of the neighborhood. The neighborhood can't afford to lose this piece of its history. Cherie Deutchman CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

The Alden & Mabel Davis House was selected as a Representative Property in the pending Travis Heights National Register District as a good example of Colonial Revival architecture as well as its landscape design. The porch has been modified from a front-gabled entry stoop with cornice returns to a nearly full façade porch supported by Doric order columns. However, the original arched door with its fan light and flanking pilasters remain. Noteworthy design features are the arched porte cochere under an enclosed sleeping porch and extruded mortar joints. The landscape includes a curved driveway, brick wall, iron fencing and formal garden. The house was designed by Austin architect Edwin Kreisle and built in 1936 by contractor Tom Jones, who also built the Reuter House, an Austin Historic Landmark on nearby Rosedale Terrace. Mabel Davis was a friend of Mrs. Reuter and visited the Reuter site during construction. Impressed with Jones’ work, she hired him to build her new home on Alta Vista Avenue. The house is better known for its association with Mrs. Davis than her husband and is often called the Mabel Davis House, sans Alden Davis. Mabel Davis served as president of many garden and civic organizations that are still operating in Austin while living in the house. She served as president of the Violet Crown Garden Club, the Humane Society, and the Austin Women’s Club. An avid gardener and landscape enthusiast, she was instrumental in raising money and securing the land for the Garden Center in Zilker Park. Both the Zilker Rose Garden and Mabel Davis Park are named in her honor. During World War II, she was the head of the Travis County Red Cross, over approximately 5,000 volunteers in the organization. She also organized a surgical dressing unit in the Driskill Hotel. (Information from the 1987 Live Oak Tour of Homes Festival (Fairview Park and Travis Heights) booklet.

IN FAVOR OF RELOCATION!!!!! IN FAVOR OF RELOCATION!!!!! IN FAVOR OF RELOCATION!!!!! Our family would like to express our deepest hopes and prayers to RELOCATE the Evangelical Lutheran Church at Dessau to Pioneer Farms. It was an answered prayer (miracle) when Pioneer Farms contacted us, with their desire to acquire our Church, and move it to their location. They have been looking for a Church for quite some time. The relocation of this Church will answer prayers of so many church and family members, who have attended services, funerals, weddings, picnics, reunions, landscape upkeep, and visiting family at the grave sites in the Cemetery. We are a seven generation family of the Wielands and Nauerts. I know, from the bottom of my heart, that our ancestors and future descendants of our family, want this endeavor to be accomplished. 1) The current location of the Church is growing with development and will soon prevent the ability to move the structure. 2) The Church will be restored and utilized at Pioneer Farms, to exhibit the history of our ancestors, and possibly provide a historical site for future events, such as those which have been conducted at the Church's current location. 3) The future location, at Pioneer Farms, will be near the cabin of one of the original builders - Frederick Kruger. 4) When the construction of this Church was completed (my Maternal Great Grandfather, Martin Wieland, drew the plans for construction), the first services were held in the German language. My Mother remembered this from her childhood, as she was born on the Nauert Farm, across the street from the Church, which is now being covered with apartment buildings. 5) There has to be an awareness, that there are some structures in this city, that NEED TO BE RESTORED - NOT DESTROYED. This is our opportunity to give future generations the ability to experience and cherish their history. 6) This project needs to proceed, having been in limbo for three years. RELOCATION of this Church is the only hope that our family has, in preserving our German history, and answering prayers of so many families, who have worked so …

June 12, 2020 Emily Reed, Chair City of Austin Historic Landmark Commission Re: 2502 Park View Drive Dear Ms. Reed, 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 2502 Park View Drive, located in Allandale’s Air Conditioned Village. We ask the Historic Landmark Commission to support historic zoning for this significant property 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. These include window placement along north and south facades; trees, trellises, and overhangs; pale paint colors and white roofing materials to reflect sunlight. Architect Fred Day designed 2502 Park View Drive, known as “The Air Temp.” Energy-efficient features include south-facing orientation and a wide, low-pitched roof which extends nearly four feet beyond the home’s footprint on all sides. Distinctive brick screens, exposed roof beams, and its asymmetrical façade make this home one of the development’s most stylized examples of mid-century design. Day (1926-2014) was a recent graduate of the UT School of Architecture. He worked for Ned Cole and Fehr & Granger before establishing his own firms in the 1960s. Day merged with Jessen Jessen Millhouse Greeven & Crume to become Jessen, Inc. in 1969, and served as the firm’s principal and president until 1993. His distinguished career included numerous awards from AIA Austin and the Texas Society Architects. He was president of AIA Austin and awarded an honorary Life Membership on the UTSOA Advisory Council. His works include Austin’s Teacher Retirement System Building, Faulk Central Library, Austin Doctors Building, renovations to the UT Law School and Student Union, the Recreation and Convocation Center at St. Edwards University, the pro bono master plan and drawings for Laguna Gloria, and the Visitors Center at McDonald Observatory. According to his obituary: “An innovative designer, he …

This is a great house. I have long admired it and wondered how, if it ever went on the market, I might be able to buy it—to refurbish it, not steam shovel it into oblivion. Allandale is a tight enclave, chocked‐full of friends and neighbors deeply distressed over the systematic leveling of cherished mid‐century homes for cookie‐cutter, poorly built, price‐gouging new constructions. On our street alone there are three identical Paradiso homes priced well‐over a million dollars. Two of these homes have had significant construction issues and detract from the quaint beauty of the much‐loved older homes on the block. It seems to me a city that respects its roots should be working overtime to encourage revitalization to older neighborhoods rather than allowing for the destruction of its gems. Entice architects and builders into our neighborhood who would like nothing more than to help homeowners maintain the integrity of these historic homes. When history, particularly a unique community history, is diminished, caring neighbors and good citizens become apathetic strangers living in rows of uninviting, generic, over‐priced, houses. It’s a sad future and one I hope Austin can avoid. Thank you for listening, Neena Husid 2503 Ellise Avenue 78757 CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Margaret Herman Friday, July 23, 2021 11:44 AM PAZ Preservation public comment re: 2502 Park View Drive *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Historic Landmark Commission, I'd like to submit a comment on the proposal to demolish 2502 Park View Drive being discussed at your July 26th meeting. My name is Margaret Herman, and I work at a historic preservation agency in New York City (writing today for myself as an individual). I happen to be a former resident of Allandale ‐ my family moved into a house a few streets over from 2502 Park View Drive in the 1980s when I was a young child, and my mother still resides there today. As longtime residents of the neighborhood and for myself as an architectural historian, we both strongly oppose this proposal for demolition. I recently became aware of the proposed National Register nomination for Allandale's Air‐Conditioned Village, of which this property at 2502 Park View Drive is an essential piece. Referred to as the "Chrysler Air Temp Home," it retains a high degree of integrity to its period of significance during the air‐conditioning tests, and its paneled facade and window pattern, its perforated brick screens, and overhanging roof line continue to express the story of Allandale's role in the history of mid‐20th century HVAC engineering and modern architecture in the southwestern United States. Local residents such as my mother are supportive of efforts to preserve the low‐slung 1950s ranch homes of Allandale, many on large lots with mature trees, which contribute to its distinct sense of place and have made it such a beautiful community to raise their families. Now that the historical significance of 2502 Park View Drive and the Air‐Conditioned Village project as a whole has come to light, there's a new level of pride in the neighborhood. Please prevent this demolition from occurring. Surely there are preservation‐minded ways to repair/rehab the house while retaining its historic fabric so that residents in the future can be reminded of the house's and the historic district's importance.
