A.4 – 1 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE NUMBER: TBD HLC DATE: October 25, 2021 PC DATE: APPLICANT: Historic Landmark Commission (owner-opposed) HISTORIC NAME: Zakrison-Sandoval House WATERSHED: Waller Creek NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN: East Cesar Chavez ADDRESS OF PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE: 1204 E. 6th Street ZONING CHANGE: TOD-NP to TOD-NP-H COUNCIL DISTRICT: 3 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff finds that the house meets the criteria for landmark designation and thus recommends the proposed zoning change from TOD-NP (transit-oriented development – neighborhood plan combining district zoning) to TOD-NP-H (transit-oriented development – neighborhood plan – historic landmark combining district zoning). However, the house is in poor condition, which the Commission should consider in determining whether to recommend historic zoning. Repair of underlying issues would require considerable removal and replacement of historic building materials, which would affect the house’s architectural integrity and ability to convey its significance under that criterion. Should the Commission choose to release the permit, the staff recommendation is to require completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package. QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: Architecture and historical associations HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The East Austin Historic Resources Survey (Hardy Heck Moore, Inc., 2016) recommends this house as a potential landmark as well as a contributing resource to the potential East Sixth Street Historic District, which is recommended eligible for local or National Register designation.

QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: Architecture, Historical Associations, and Community Value: HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: October 25, 2021: PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The house is beyond the bounds of the Comprehensive Cultural Resources Survey (1984) and has never been included in a city survey.

The house is a wing-and-gable plan ranch-style house with features of mid-century Modern design. It has a brick veneer exterior with weeping mortar, a relatively rare architectural feature in Austin. The original door and windows have been replaced. The house now has casement windows which fit into the original window openings and do not materially alter the feeling of the original construction. The house was built by Walter Carrington, a prolific homebuilder in central Texas, who began his career in Austin in the early 1950s. Carrington waw born in San Angelo, Texas in 1924 and passed away in Austin in 2007. He was a graduate of the University of Texas and first went to work with Nelson Puett, a local real estate agent and developer, before starting his own home A.5 - 2 building company. Many of his homes, such as this one, are located in the Northwest Hills neighborhoods of Austin, but he was also responsible for most of the houses in University Hills, east of IH-35 during the same period. Carrington was a very open-minded builder: he did not engage in the still-then …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS OCTOBER 25, 2021 HR-2021-115725 CLARKSVILLE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1104 TOYATH STREET C.1 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a new residence with carport, pool, and roof deck. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) The proposed new building is 3 stories in height. It is clad in vertical fiber cement siding and capped with a metal roof. Fenestration includes single-hung and fixed windows and a horizontally glazed front door. A roof deck with horizontal metal railing sits atop the house, accessible by a spiral staircase at the side elevation; the staircase is partially enclosed by a transparent wood screen. Its full-width front porch is supported by boxed columns and the front and rear gables that comprise its compound roofline are accented by triangular knee braces. 2) Construct a deck and pool behind the main house. 3) Construct a retaining wall at the rear of the house. DESIGN STANDARDS The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location The proposed building is set back approximately 25’. This property is adjacent to the Lawson House, a historic landmark, and proposed new construction may overpower it due to the height difference between the two buildings. 2. Orientation The proposed new building has a consistent orientation with the rest of the buildings on the block. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed new building is three stories plus a roof deck—much taller than the single-story contributing buildings on the block. However, due to the slope of the lot, the first floor is not visible from the street. Its complex massing is also at odds with the relatively simple contributing homes of Clarksville. 4. Proportions The proposed new building’s design is strongly vertical, which does not reflect the more horizontal proportions of the modest contributing houses on the block. 5. Design and style The proposed design is somewhat compatible in its inclusion of a front porch, its front-facing gables, its siding material, and its relatively rhythmic fenestration patterns. The decorative brackets added to the gables are not appropriate for its modern style. The building is less compatible in its scale, massing, and proportions; the rear portion of the house appears somewhat overpowering. 6. Roofs The gabled roofline …

Replace siding, windows, and doors.. Replace front porch roof and columns. Enclose side porch. 1) Construct an addition to single-story residence. The proposed addition is located within the existing footprint of the house, and will be one and one-half stories in height. It is clad in fiber-cement siding with a profile matching the existing siding. It has a compound side-gabled roof with regularly spaced dormers and 4:4 windows. The roof is standing-seam metal. The existing chimney will be extended to the second floor. 2) Replace front porch roof and columns.

The house at 1519 W. 32nd Street was constructed in 1938 for Bess and Herbert F. Smart. Herbert Smart was a real estate agent who also worked briefly as a salesman for a paint company and a glass company. The couple lived at 1519 W. 32nd Street until Bess Smart’s death in 1964. 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 districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 1.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS OCTOBER 25, 2021 CASE NUMBER OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1400 MOHLE DRIVE C.11 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a new building PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The proposed new residence is two stories in height, clad in stucco. It has a low, hipped roof with deep eaves clad in standing-seam metal. Its aluminum divided-light windows are regularly placed. Divided sidelights and a transom window surround the partially glazed front door, and a flat-roofed awning shelters the entryway. The secondary street frontage includes a projecting bay window, stucco chimney, and garage door. The rear elevation contains a second-floor terrace with patio beneath. DESIGN STANDARDS The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location The proposed new building appears to be set back appropriately from the street. 2. Orientation The proposed new building is oriented toward the street, with the garage loading at the secondary street frontage, consistent with the existing detached garage. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed new building is two stories in height, while most nearby contributing buildings appear to be one or one and one-half stories in height. There are few contributing buildings on this part of Mohle Drive. The building’s simple massing is appropriate to the district. 4. Proportions The building’s proportions are appropriate at the main façade, though the Oakhurst Avenue elevation may appear somewhat monolithic from the street. 5. Design and style The proposed new building is appropriately differentiated from nearby contributing buildings by its stucco cladding and modern window configurations. Its rhythmic façade enhances compatibility when viewed from Mohle Drive. 6. Roofs The simple roof form complies with the design standards. 7. Exterior walls The stucco cladding is appropriate to the building’s style and helps to differentiate it from contributing buildings. 8. Windows and doors The Mohle Drive façade’s simple, rhythmic fenestration is appropriate and compatible with the district. The Oakhurst Avenue façade is somewhat compatible, with the exceptions of the projecting bay window and long vertical window. 9. Porches While the rear deck and patio are not found on nearby contributing buildings in the district, they are visible only from secondary elevations. 10. Chimneys The proposed chimney is clad in …

Two-story, symmetrical-plan, cross-gabled Classical Revival house with 6:6 and 9:9 wood windows, horizontal siding, and a full-width porch supported by boxed columns. Details include dentils at cornice, sidelights and transom at front door, Classical cornice returns at gable ends, and wood shutters. The house and outbuildings at 1411 Ethridge Avenue were built in 1939 for Claude A. and Clara Williams. Claude Williams served as Texas’ assistant Secretary of State at the time of the home’s construction. He went on to head the Texas Unemployment Commission. By 1949, Dr. Revace (called Sam) and Margaret Ann Swearingen had purchased the property. Dr. Sam Swearingen served as the chief of staff, chief of surgery, and chairman of the Board of Trustees at Brackenridge Hospital; he later became chief of staff at the Austin State Hospital, medical director of the Denton State School, and medical director of the San Angelo State Center. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Old West Austin National Register 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 it may meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building is constructed in the Classical Revival style. b. Historical association. The property is associated with Claude A. Williams and Dr. Revace “Sam” Swearingen. 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 may include a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, aesthetic, cultural, or historical value to the city. Further landscape research may be required. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Consider initiating historic zoning. Should the Commission decide against initiation, require completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package prior to permit release. Additionally, new construction in National Register districts must be reviewed by the Commission prior to release of the …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS OCTOBER 25, 2021 HR-2021-116459 CLARKSVILLE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1104 CHARLOTTE STREET C.2 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Raise house and move away from street to construct basement. Construct side addition. 1) Demolish back porch and portions of rear and southeast exterior wall and roof. 2) Move the house approximately four feet further from the street. 3) Raise the house approximately seven feet to install concrete foundation with crawlspace and basement floor. 4) Construct a two-story rear and side addition with screened porch. The proposed building’s exterior materials include fiber-cement board-and-batten siding, limestone, and stucco cladding, as well as horizontal fiber-cement skirting. It is capped by a hipped metal roof and features a flat vegetative roof at rear. 5) Install new handrails, stairs, and skylight to existing historic house. One-story square-plan cottage with hipped metal roof and partial-width porch supported by turned posts. Details include exposed rafter tails and board-and-batten siding. Symmetrical 4:4 wood windows flank the central entryway. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH The house at 1104 Charlotte Street appears to have been built around 1912. Though it was likely constructed as a rental property, it was owned and occupied by the Robinson family from 1916 until the end of the 1920s. William M. Robinson, a teamster, moved there after living with his family across the street at 1202 Charlotte Street upon his marriage. His wife, Elizabeth, worked as a laundress; one of her relatives, Nannie, stayed with them off and on over the years. By 1930, the home had been sold to James and Betty Green. After Betty Green sold the home around 1941, it was occupied by a series of renters, including a U.S. Army serviceman, a laundress, several laborers, and a Southern Union Gas employee. DESIGN STANDARDS The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 1. General standards The proposed project minimizes the loss of historic fabric at the main elevation by restoring original windows, siding, and roof material. Some historic fabric is lost at the side and rear of the building, and its relationship to the street will change. 2. Foundations The proposed project does not appear to comply with Standard 2.1 (“Maintain the building’s historic …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A DEMOLITION PERMIT IN A NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT OCTOBER 25, 2021 PR-21-113815 WILLOW-SPENCE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 80 AND 82 SAN MARCOS STREET C.3 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish two ca. 1941 houses. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Two one-story, rectangular-plan, side-gabled, frame cottages on the same lot. The houses have a central entry topped with a front-gabled entry hood; paired 1:1 fenestration, some with decorative 3:1 wood screens. There is a building permit in city records evidencing construction of these houses in 1941; the Sanborn map of 1935 shows different houses on this site, and the 1962 Sanborn map shows the current houses. The 1941 building permits reflect construction by Louis Bonugli, who operated a neighborhood grocery store just a block from this site, and who invested in neighborhood real estate. Bonugli and his family lived at 80 San Marcos intermittently in the late 1940s and early 1950s, but in other years, the family is listed at their grocery store 78 San Marcos, likely to earn additional income from renting the house at 80 San Marcos. The house at 82 San Marcos was built as a rental unit. The house at 82 San Marcos was home to only two families during much of the historic period, one of whom lived in an earlier house on this site. The first residents of the house were Willie L. and Allie Smith, who lived here until around 1943, and had lived in the earlier house on this site since the early 1930s. Willie Smith was an auto mechanic. Raymond and Angie Miller moved into the house around 1943 and rented the house until around 1950. Raymond Miller was taxi driver who later opened his own filling station while living in this house. Angie Miller worked at Woolworth’s a downtown discount department store. PROPERTY EVALUATION The houses are listed as non-contributing to the Willow Spence National Register Historic District, but staff questions that determination, as they are intact examples of vernacular residential design that would be contributing to the historic district if evaluated today. The Willow-Spence National Register Historic District was nominated in 1985, when the houses would not have qualified under the 50-year threshold; the district nomination does not shed any light on the justification for the determination. The East Austin Historic Resources Survey (2016) does not identify the house at 80 San Marcos, but does recommend that the house …
October 20, 2021 Terri Myers, Chair City of Austin Historic Landmark Commission Re: 80 and 82 San Marcos Street Dear Ms. Myers, Preservation Austin exists to empower Austinites to shape a more inclusive, resilient, and meaningful community culture through preservation. We write today to express our concern over the possible demolition of 80 San Marcos Street and 82 San Marcos Street, two houses in the Willow-Spence Streets Historic District, which received National Register designation in 1985. We ask the Historic Landmark Commission to support historic zoning for these significant properties in the areas of Architecture, Historical Association, and Community Value, and as contributing houses to a Willow-Spence Local Historic District, as recommended by the 2016 East Austin Historic Survey. Both houses align with Preservation Austin’s Underrepresented Heritage Advocacy Priority for their associations with Austin’s Mexican American community. They also embody the City of Austin’s priorities for the retention of neighborhood character and the mitigation of displacement. The two houses on San Marcos Street retain integrity as defined by the National Register of Historic Places and clearly convey historical significance. Preservation Austin believes the properties meet the following criteria for preservation under Austin’s current development code and priorities for mitigating the cultural displacement of residents of historic neighborhoods: Architecture: - Built in 1941 on the same lot, the houses are one-story, rectangular wood frame cottages. The - - - front-gabled central entry and decorative wood screens lend character to the street. The houses retain a high degree of integrity and structural soundness, as do most of the surrounding structures. The houses are architecturally compatible with the surrounding structures. The buildings reflect common architectural plans for the time period that emphasized economy and affordability. Historical Associations: Community Value: - - - - - - The Willow-Spence Streets Historic District and surrounding neighborhood reflect the history of the displacement of Mexican American residents from downtown toward East Austin in the early twentieth century, exacerbated in the 1950s with the construction of I-35. The properties reflect a history of providing affordable housing for Austin’s working class, whether carpenters, sales clerks, grocers, or auto mechanics. The neighborhood has strong ties to Austin’s Mexican American community, making it a high priority under the City of Austin’s goals of mitigating the displacement of communities of color and maintaining its still extant neighborhood character in the face of gentrification. The integration of residential structures, such as these two …

Penick before 1924. Fred Penick was a bank teller, cashier, and clerk at the American National Bank for most of his career. Julia Penick, active in various community- building and youth enrichment programs, ran a summer camp with her older children. Penick had previously been employed as a camp employee at Yosemite National Park.

The addition will have a composition shingle roof, painted wood siding, and windows similar to those used on the house. 2) Retention of character-defining features on the façade, including wood windows and screens, the street-facing front door, and attic vent and decorative brackets at the gable ends. Removal and storage of a second, side-facing door from the front porch. Retention of wood siding. 3) Replacement of original wood 1:1 windows and decorative screens with 6:1 windows on side elevations. Replacement of paired windows on the south elevation with a double door. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story Craftsman bungalow clad in horizontal wood siding. The front-gabled roof has a clipped gable with decorative brackets, and the partial-width porch has a round vent below the clipped gable. The porch roof is supported by tapered box columns atop partial height brick piers. Windows are single or groupings of two to three 1:1 sash with decorative screens. The front door has three vertical lights in the upper portion. The house at 1412 Alameda Dr. was constructed around 1932 and initially occupied by a series of renters. From at least 1947–1966, Homer G. and Lillian K. Monson owned the home. Homer Monson (1920–1996) sold used furniture; newspaper articles indicate he also managed and owned several ranches. He ran an unsuccessful write-in campaign for Travis County Commissioner in 1966. Homer married Lillian Kastner in 1946. Lillian held a lengthy tenure at Austin National Bank, marking 15–20 years of employment in 1960. During that time, she advanced from a clerk to a supervisor. The couple built an addition on the rear of the house in 1952.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS OCTOBER 25, 2021 PR-21-126586 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1809 W. 29TH STREET C.6 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a new building. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS DESIGN STANDARDS Construct a new two-story residence. The proposed building will be clad in vertical fiber-cement siding and have a compound gabled roof of standing-seam metal. Stone accents surround an offset picture window at the main elevation. Other fenestration includes 2:2 irregularly placed fixed and casement windows of varying dimensions throughout, a fully glazed front door with sidelights and transom, and a front-facing metal garage door. 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 districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location The proposed new building appears to be set back over 30’ from the street. 2. Orientation The proposed new building is oriented toward the primary street. However, the front-loaded garage does not comply with the design standards. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed new building is two stories in height with compound massing, whereas the surrounding contributing buildings are one story with simple massing. 4. Proportions The proposed building’s steep roof, vertical siding, and vertically oriented windows emphasize its proportions, which are at odds with the more horizontally proportioned contributing buildings in the district. 5. Design and style The proposed building is adequately differentiated from historic buildings in the district. It is somewhat compatible in materials, though its proportions, fenestration patterns, and massing are less compatible. 6. Roofs The proposed roof appears relatively simple at the street-facing elevation, enhancing its compatibility with surrounding contributing buildings. 7. Exterior walls While the exterior siding material is appropriate, its vertical orientation is incompatible with the surrounding historic buildings. The stone accent material does not appear on nearby contributing buildings; it is not compatible. 8. Windows and doors The proposed building’s sparse and irregular placement of windows is not compatible with the surrounding traditional contributing buildings; however, its use of operable and divided-light windows somewhat enhances compatibility. The offset bay window and complex glazing pattern at the front door are not compatible. The front-facing garage does not comply with the design standards. 10. Chimneys The proposed chimney is clad with masonry, which complies with the design standards. 11. Attached garages …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS OCTOBER 25, 2021 HR-21-143509 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1409 WOODLAWN BOULEVARD C.8 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct an addition and enclose porches. Add a dormer to the Woodlawn Boulevard façade. 1) Enclose porch at Woodlawn Boulevard façade and add dormer above. The enclosure will be clad in siding with 1:1 windows added to match existing; the dormer’s roof pitch and gable will match the two existing dormers. 2) Enclose rear porch and construct a connecting addition. The proposed addition is one story in height, with a low-sloped roof and fixed-pane windows at the former porch. The remainder is clad in siding with 1:1 windows to match existing on the rest of the house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS One-story side-gabled house with partial-width porch, limestone cladding, rubble masonry chimney, and front-facing dormers. The house has 1:1 replacement windows and added porches at the Woodlawn façade. The house at 1409 Woodlawn Boulevard was built around 1937 for the Melinger family. Julia Melinger, widow of Samuel Melinger, lived in the home until at least 1964. Her two sons, Jesse and Alfred, also lived in the home with their families at varying intervals. Jesse and Phyllis Melinger, who owned and operated a jewelry store, were long-term residents. Phyllis Melinger was active in the Sisterhood of Beth Israel Temple and participated on various committees for activities benefiting the congregation during her tenure in the home. 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 districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 1. General standards The proposed project removes minimal historic fabric. Existing elements, such as masonry cladding and roof railings, will be repaired. The building’s main entrance will be located on Woodlawn Boulevard instead of Enfield Road. 3. Roofs The proposed roof repair will match the existing asphalt shingle roof. The additional proposed dormer will be located between the two existing dormers and behind an existing railing; it will not be tall enough to include a window. 6. Porches The proposed project fully encloses both porches. The Enfield Road façade will be encased in wood, while the Woodlawn Boulevard addition’s sunroom will be enclosed with glass. Residential additions 1. Location The proposed addition is located at the …

As advised by you, we are attaching a rendering of the home’s elevation with the proposed modification as seen from the street along Woodlawn Blvd. The main frontage of the house is along Woodlawn Blvd and that will also be the main entrance to the property. Also, I would appreciate it if the following comment can be shared with the commission. “We moved into Clarksville in 2014 leaving behind a typical suburban home in the Bee Caves area. The cottage-style character of this house and the warm, neighborly feel of Clarksville were magnetic for us. Our house, built in 1934, is close to perfect for us. During remodeling following purchase, we went out of the way to ensure that all our efforts were directed at improving the interior while leaving the exterior unaffected, except for the addition of a deck. With the blessing of grand children, we now find ourselves in need of a little more space. The house, however, is set at the back corner of the property and the setbacks and deed restrictions limit our ability to expand in any big way. In any case, we are not interested in any changes that would affect the look and appeal of the house – whether for us or our neighbors. Hence, we have opted, in the main, to combine the existing porch and deck into a sunroom that, with sliding glass doors on all exterior walls will appear like a large porch from the street while giving us usability in all seasons. The placement of the one-room addition is also based on our desire to minimally affect profile of the house and avoid a new gabled roof as the latter would greatly change the appearance. In the attached rendition, we have tried to convey the anticipated profile of the house for our neighbors as they venture down Woodlawn Blvd. We intend that our home, with its extension, will remain just as natural an element in this historical district as it was before.

Replace front door. 1) Demolish existing partial-width front porch and replace with larger front porch. The proposed porch has a hipped roof clad in standing-seam metal and supported by painted wood columns. Decorative corbels are visible at eaves. Construct matching rear porch. 2) Replace front door with fully glazed door. 3) Construct second-story addition at south elevation. The proposed addition is constructed behind the ridgeline of the house and is clad in wood siding with a gabled shingle-clad roof to match existing. It features 4:4 and 6:6 divided-light windows. 4) Construct rear garage, carport, and driveway. The proposed structure is clad in fiber-cement horizontal siding with limestone accents and capped by a hipped, standing-seam metal roof with decorative corbels. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Two-story Colonial revival house clad in horizontal siding and capped with a side-gabled roof. It features 6:6 wood windows and a covered entryway with a gabled roof supported by boxed columns. The house at 1617 Westover Road was either moved onto the lot or constructed to replace an existing fire-damaged building in 1939, according to conflicting permit records and newspaper reports. Its first residents were Truett B. and Leone L. Marshall. Truett B. Marshall served as Austin’s tax assessor and collector for two multi-year terms: 1928 to 1947, and 1952 to 1963. By 1949, the Marshalls had sold the house to its next owner-occupants, the Nelsons. Dr. Ellis C. Nelson worked as a professor at the Presbyterian Theological Seminary and authored several books on religious instruction during his tenure there. DESIGN STANDARDS The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 1. General standards The proposed porch modification removes the original front porch and replaces it entirely. 5. Windows, Doors, and Screens The proposed modifications replace an unglazed front door with a fully glazed front door, which is less appropriate for the house’s era and style. 6.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS OCTOBER 25, 2021 PR-21-139080 1000 E. 38TH STREET D.2 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1940 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH PROPERTY EVALUATION One-story, wing-and-gable plan frame cottage with minimal traditional design features; synthetic siding, a partial-width independent porch on ornamental metal posts, and single and double 1:1 fenestration. The house was built in 1940 by Maynard Anderson, who, with his wife Laura, lived here all through the historic period. Maynard Anderson was a native of Travis County and was a clerk in a drug store before managing and then opening his own drug store, which he operated until his death. The property was identified as a medium priority for preservation in the 2019 draft survey of the Hancock neighborhood, but with no recommendation for individual designation or inclusion in a potential historic district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high integrity if the current siding is original. 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 is a minimal traditional cottage in a neighborhood characterized by this style; there does not appear to be architectural significance that would warrant individual designation of this house over any other in the neighborhood. b. Historical association. The property was the home of a drug store operator throughout the historic period, and does not appear to have significant historical associations. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d. Community value. The property does not 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 over demolition, but release the permit upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package, consisting of 8.5 x 11 photographs of all elevations, printed on photographic paper, a dimensioned sketch plan, and a narrative history for archiving at the Austin History Center.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS OCTOBER 25, 2021 PR-21-139164 1601 CEDAR AVENUE D.3 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1915 house. ARCHITECTURE One-story, rectangular-plan, hipped roof, frame transitional-style house with a partial-width inset porch with a segmental- arched bargeboard, raised rail, paired battered timber posts, and boxed panel spandrels; replacement single 6:6 fenestration; central, hipped roof frame attic vent dormer. RESEARCH According to Travis County real estate records, Mack Blocker purchased this property in the fall of 1914. The lot was across the street from his wife’s father’s property. He and his wife, the former Gertrude Parker, lived here until their deaths. Mack Blocker worked a variety of jobs, typical of African-American men in the first part of the 20th century: laborer, porter, truck driver, and janitor. He died in 1927, and his widow, Gertrude, continued to live in this house for decades to come. Gertrude Blocker apparently never remarried, and supported herself with work as a maid and cook for a private family. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property is recommended as contributing to a potential historic district by the East Austin Historic Resources Survey (2016). Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain medium to high integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it may meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building is a good example of a transitional house, a period representing a bridge between the Victorian styles known for their architectural ornamentation and the more reserved and smaller-scale bungalow styles of the 1920s. Transitional houses were generally taller than the later bungalows, but began to exhibit a lower form than the Victorians of the past; a slow move from verticality to horizontality. Although the windows have been replaced, the house reflects a high degree of integrity for its age, and is also unusual for its continuous ownership by a Black family in an era where a house like this would have likely started off with white owners. The house appears to have architectural significance. b. Historical association. The property was owned and occupied by Mack Blocker and his widow, Gertrude Blocker, during the entire historic period. Both Mack and Gertrude Blocker worked in professions typifying Black life in Austin in the early 20th century: janitor, porter, laborer, cook, and maid. After Mack Blocker’s …

To tear this house down would be a real shame; it was built in 1915 and as the photo shows, the house has some lovely features typical of its era. (It's been owned by an older couple and needs some TLC.) Hyde Park residents have done a great job preserving the historical interest of their neighbourhood; perhaps we east siders can rise to it as well. I've heard from the Historic Landmark Commission people that they think the house has possible historical integrity, and they are holding a public hearing at City Hall next Monday (Oct. 25) at 6. (See the other photo for details.) They recommend sending a statement of opposition to share with the Commission prior to the meeting; or that concerned people attend the hearing on Monday and register to speak; or both.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS OCTOBER 25, 2021 PR-2021-139578; GF-2021-154910 1101 S. 1ST STREET D.4 – 1 PROPOSAL Relocate a ca. 1919 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story Craftsman bungalow with horizontal wood siding, single and paired 1:1 wood windows, and a partial-width porch with gabled roof supported by paired boxed columns. The house’s gabled roof has deep eaves, triangular knee braces at gable ends, and exposed rafter tails. The house at 1101 S. 1st Street was built around 1919 for Austin and Sophia Sullivan. Austin Sullivan worked as a salesman, and Sophia Sullivan was the editor of an Austin Statesman column on South Austin news, which she maintained until Austin Sullivan’s accidental death in 1938. After leasing the home for a few years, the Sullivans sold the house to Katie and Otto Bohls around 1930. Otto Bohls was a painter, and Katie Bohls a nurse. They each lived in the home until death—Otto in 1961, and Katie in 1976. In the late 1970s, it transitioned to commercial use. PROPERTY EVALUATION The 2015 Bouldin Neighborhood survey lists the property as a medium priority. 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 it does not meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building is a good example of a Craftsman bungalow b. Historical association. The property does not appear to have significant historical associations. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d. Community value. The property does not 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.

D.5 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS OCTOBER 25, 2021 DA-2021-132111 301 SAN JACINTO STREET PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1912 brick warehouse. ARCHITECTURE One-story, rectangular-plan, flat-roofed brick warehouse building with segmental-arched window bays containing metal-framed horizontal lites; each has a segmental arched cast stone lintel and a fixed-sash clerestory transom above with a cast stone segmental-arch and a cast stone lintel; full- width independent metal and wood canopy; modern, metal-framed double-leaf, glazed entry doors; cast stone belt course above the clerestory transoms. RESEARCH This warehouse building was constructed around 1912 for the Nalley Grocery Company, operated by A.M. Nalley, and later by J. Gordon Wilcox, a prominent wholesale grocery man in town. Nalley Grocery Company remained here until around 1917, when the Shear Company, owned by Mrs. H.H. Shear of Waco, Texas, appears as the owners of the building in Austin city directories. All of these early wholesale grocery distribution warehouses were also coffee roasters, and purveyors of produce. The Shear Company operated out of this building until around 1923, when the building was sold to the John Bremond Company, which was a grocery wholesaler and roaster of high-grade coffee. The John Bremond Company was one of the, if not the most, prominent wholesale grocery businesses in Austin for many years, supplying grocery stores and restaurants in the city. John Bremond operated out of this building until around 1960, when White Swan, a wholesale institutional grocery company, took over the space. In the late 1970s, the building became a wholesale auto part warehouse, and in the early 2000s, this building was the residence of the cast of MTV’s Real World program. More recently, it has been a restaurant. PROPERTY EVALUATION The building was surveyed as part of a City overview of Austin’s warehouse districts in 2008, but no recommendations for designation came out of that survey. 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 it meets two criteria: a. Architecture. The building [is a good example of a large warehouse building that typifies rail-side warehouses for wholesale distribution of provisions and commodities during the time that the vast majority of those operations were rail lines. This is a utilitarian building with little architectural flourish, but qualifies …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS OCTOBER 25, 2021 GF-21-154919 308-10 E. 3RD STREET D.6 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE Demolish a ca. 1938 commercial building. One-story, rectangular-plan, flat-roofed brick commercial building with modern replacement metal-framed fixed-sash fenestration and a modern, metal-framed entry door. In 2008, the building has a fluted full-width masonry canopy band, which was its only ornamentation; that has since been removed. RESEARCH The building was constructed in 1938; the first tenant was the Brown Cracker and Candy Company, which used the building as a warehouse. The space was used through the early 1940s as a cracker company warehouse. Ben Blond’s electrical supply business was located next door to the west at 308 E. 3rd Street in the early 1940s; that building has since been demolished, but Blond used this this building as his warehouse after the cracker companies moved out from the 1950s through the 1980s. PROPERTY EVALUATION The building is not listed in the Comprehensive Cultural Resources Survey (1984) likely because it was not 50 years old yet; staff would assess this building as a low priority for preservation as it has been significantly modified, and only the form remains. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain low integrity. The windows and doors have been replaced, and the only ornamentation on the building, a fluted canopy band across the front above the door and windows, has been removed. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it may meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building retains its form but little else; the form is an example of a utilitarian warehouse building with little ornamentation, but which has been compromised by modifications so would no longer qualify under this criterion. b. Historical association. The property does not have much in the way of individual significance, and prior to the modifications, would have had a larger role in relating the story of the district of warehouses on the east side of downtown that includes buildings on San Jacinto, Trinity, Neches, and Brazos Streets. 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 is within an identifiable area of warehouses on the east side of downtown along …
D.7 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS OCTOBER 25, 2021 PR-2021-151456 3506 DUVAL STREET PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Partially demolish a ca. 1934 house and construct a second-story and rear addition. Enlarge the house to the rear. 2) Reopen screened front porch. 3) Replace existing horizontal siding with fiber-cement siding. 4) Replace existing windows with new aluminum-clad wood windows. 5) Install a new composition shingle roof. ARCHITECTURE 1) Enlarge the habitable second story by increasing the height of front- and side-facing gables (east and south elevations). One-and-one-half-story, cross-gabled bungalow with Tudor Revival stylistic influences. Most of the house is clad in horizontal wood siding. The partial-width porch has a wood-clad gable supported by brick piers, with an inset gabled brick frontispiece with an arched opening. The porch has been screened in. Windows are single or groupings of up to three 1:1 sash. It appears that all windows were previously replaced with vinyl sash, though most windows are concealed by dark screens. The house has one-story rear additions and infill at a side elevation. RESEARCH The house at 3506 Duval St. was designed by acclaimed architect Roy Thomas for Dr. C. M. Montgomery, and original plans for the residence are part of the Roy L. Thomas collection at the Alexander Architectural Archives. This 1934 house may have replaced or enlarged an earlier residence on the lot. City directories list it as the home of Clifford M. and Myra Montgomery beginning in 1932, and water and sewer permits were issued to Dr. Montgomery in 1930. Dr. Clifford Montgomery (1891–1947) was a professor of Romance languages at the University of Texas beginning in 1920. His specialization was in Spanish literature. Myra Montgomery (1891–1976) was superintendent of the children’s division of the University Methodist Church for 15 years and taught at St. Elmo and Maplewood elementary schools. She served as president of the Austin Classroom Teachers Association from 1952 through 1954 and as the organization’s parliamentarian in 1961. DESIGN STANDARDS The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects at potential historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 4. Exterior walls and trim Standard 4.1 calls for repair rather than replacement of historic wall materials. The project entails replacement of existing siding across the house and addition. 5. Windows, …

Should the Commission choose to release the permit, the staff recommendation is to require completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package, including documentation of the site and exterior and interior architectural features.

Hugh McMath was a professor of architecture at the University of Texas who specialized in the study of Mexican architecture and was prominent in integrating Mexican schools of architecture into a larger sphere of American architectural studies. Hugh McMath (1904–1992) taught at the University of Texas School of Architecture for 44 years. He was a renowned professor with a specialization in Mexican architecture, and he was instrumental in introducing his students to its principles. He primarily wrote and developed courses in pre-Hispanic and Colonial architecture. During the 1950s, he arranged annual summer trips of U.S. students to the Instituto Tecnologico of Monterrey, Mexico. His sponsorship helped the institute gain A.3 – 2 admission to the Association of Collegiate Schools …

The 'McMath House' has a rich history, a celebrated mid‐century aesthetic, and, in many ways, it serves as the cornerstone of the Deep Eddy neighborhood given its prominent positioning on the Possum Trot throughway. This is, unequivocally, a historic landmark that I hope our community can preserve. Thank you for your time.

Although the board is happy with the size of the front porch and with the exterior siding, we are very concerned that the new house will be 3 stories tall in a neighborhood and on a street, where houses tend to be 1‐story, and that it will include a roof deck. The roof deck will affect the privacy of nearby homes next door to 1104 and behind it (homes located in the 1800 block of West 11th with deep backyards. Also, given its height, the house will loom over the landmarked Lawson House, which is to its immediate North. (Note: We believe that Paradisa's computer renderings of the home it wants to build exaggerate the distance between it and the Lawson House. Overall, its mass and complexity of design are at odds with the simple, traditional architecture of Clarksville. We recommend therefore that Paradisa simplify its design and achieve the square footage it wants by getting rid of the swimming pool, which will free up more land on which to build and allow the company to lower the height of the house. There is just one below‐ground swimming pool in historic Clarksville. It's not a feature that buyers in the neighborhood expect because there are two different public pools that Clarksville residents can walk to. Also, there is a large splash pad right around the corner from 1104 Toyath at Mary Baylor Park. Clarksville is not Tarrytown or Westlake, where Paradisa's proposed home belongs. Thank you.

The board unanimously agreed that it much prefers locating the driveway to the north. We have two major issues with the south side option: 1. That option includes a front‐facing garage, which our neighborhood's design standards strongly discourage. Front facing garages are not a feature of Clarksville's traditional architecture. Even newer homes in the neighborhood are more apt to have a carport rather than a garage and many have neither. 2. The portion of the addition to the house that is visible from the street in the south side option has the effect of over‐ shadowing the original house somewhat. In contrast, with the northside option, the original house stands out. Please get in touch if you have any questions. Thanks for your consideration.

Mr. Garrett Hill has applied for a permit (2021-139064 PR) to demolish this dwelling and the case is scheduled for review at a public hearing by the Historic Landmark Committee on Monday, October 25. The group of neighbours whose names appear below would like to ask the Commision for the hearing to be postponed by one month. This would allow us time to explore the possibility of relocation as an alternative to demolition. Given recent conversations I have had, I am encouraged to think that this option might be feasible, if the property's new owner could be persuaded to consider it. There is considerable community interest in preserving this structure, by relocating it, if necessary. The neighbors who have signed this letter are the sample of neighbors I reached at home at short notice. Most were already aware and were concerned about the property. Some approached me before I contacted them, and some had already been sharing their concerns with one another. All have lent their names enthusiastically to this request, and I believe that other interested Austin citizens may have sent statements of their own via email.

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Attachments: Importance: High Vincent Huebinger Wednesday, August 18, 2021 3:17 PM Sadowsky, Steve; Allen, Amber Dane Wilkins RE: Item D-6 2501 Inwood Demo Hugh McMath 1.JPG Steve, just left you and Amber a VM. It is indeed a very interesting house but we are not finding the Mid‐century modern aspects on 2501 Inwood based on the industry (architectural) standards. Yes there are some pronounced windows but no lines and angles established in this front elevation or roof. Most mid‐century modern houses built in 1950‐60’s had had lines with open spaces and pronounced split level roofs. The exterior wood is an odd combination and is not repairable. We are preparing some backup material for Landmark commissioners to try to emphasize the lack of element for this agenda. I have another hearing on Monday evening in Grand Prairie, therefore Dane Wilkins out of our office will be on the live line of the meeting. I am assuming that the postponement policy by staff will be granted (since it always is) and this is the last item on the agenda. Knowing the process, I believe you will be requesting postponements at the beginning of the hearing? We did find 2502 Inwood went to your landmark commission in 2018 and was allowed to be demo’d and rebuilt as a combination of mid‐century and eclectic. Others on that block were also demo’d. Regarding Hugh McMath, he was a very impressive tenured professor and acting director for a few years. The most we have found on him are his international trips to Monterrey, his thesis at MIT and some other articles. We can agree to postpone in light of your mention of Ned Cole and Plan con, which we did not discover in our research.

August 25th, 2021 Historic Landmark Commission P. O. Box 1088 Austin, TX 78767 Re: 1204 E. 6th Street – Austin, TX 78702 I, Irene Sanchez, am one of the former heirs of the house and property located at 1204 E. 6th Street in Austin, Texas. This home was in my family for 75 years. Over the decades, we witnessed East 6th Street evolve drastically to become the vibrant commercial district that it is today. While our home played a large role in our lives, we recognized that the location was no longer ideal for single-family use as it is now heavily populated with entertainment venues and many other commercial uses. Therefore, we decided to sell the property in 2021. The new owners of this property have stated that they would like to relocate the house, which is over 100 years old, to a more fitting residential location where restoration will be more fitting and viable. I am providing my support for the application for this relocation. Sincerely, Irene Sanchez Irene Sanchez Structural Evaluation Report 1204 East 6th Street.

We will not oppose because Paradisa Homes heard the concerns we expressed about its original plans and as a result, designed a totally new house that is far more appropriate for Clarksville. I will send the email this week. Mary MR•PR Austin, TX 78703 Be Kind "I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear."

We'll want to use as much of the original flooring as possible as well. The existing home is located inside the 25' front setback, (approx. 15') so we'd need to move the house regardless. I hope this is something you and your team are agreeable to. We would very much like to reach a decision before the HLC meeting this month, which we are on schedule for, so please let me know if you would like to hop on a call this week to discuss. wrote: 1 To help protect y our priv acy , Micro so ft Office prev ented auto matic download of this pictu re from the In ternet.

I received a notice of the hearing on the demolition of the property located at 82 San Marcos on Thursday. I see that the letter was dated for mailing on Aug 12. I do not believe that a local letter should take over a week to be delivered. In any case, the mailing date and the delivery dates are 2 very different things. I do not believe that enough notice has been given to all my neighbors to have the hearing as scheduled . I object to having the hearing until all interested parties are properly notified. Additionally, I would like to add that I went by the house and found the sign lying on the ground behind tall weeds. not visible to the street! The house in question in inside of the Willow Spence National Historic district. The entire district is comprised of 4 blocks total. Thus far we have had no one try to destroy any of our historic homes. The house in question is by far in better condition than my house at 908 willow street was when I purchased it. I restored my home! The house will need some updating as all these 1920‐ 1930's homes do, but it is not a tear down. There are plenty of homes all over the east side that developers can buy and tear down without hardly any problem. This house is in a National Historic District. If the buyers of this property did not like the house and had no intention of restoring, then they should not have bought it. It was their choice! Do not set a precedent that it is okay to tear down the homes in the Willow Spence National Historic District!! We must work to preserve the homes . It is only 4 blocks!

The addition will be clad in fiber cement siding. Add rear balcony with metal guardrails, creating a flat-roofed rear porch below. Install metal roofing over the existing roof and addition. 2) Retain character-defining features of the front porch, including the original porch gable with brackets and gable vent, box columns and masonry piers, and wood handrails. Reconstruct previously demolished cheek walls and add built-in steel planters in front of porch. 3) Retain original horizontal wood siding. 4) Remove and replace original 1:1 wood windows and screens with aluminum-clad wood windows in existing openings, to match, for the façade and front 1/3 of the side elevations.

A partial demolition is a joke‐ this is a demolition. There has been no direction given to the applicant about how this house could be readapted or remodeled to be a contributing structure in a potential LHD. Sometime ago, the Grooms Addition (the subdivision in which this property resides) shelved their efforts with the History Library with an extensive file of preservation work towards a LHD. We needed help with the property owner signatures‐ the City refused to help us. We are an older subdivision in Austin which was mostly platted in 1880‐1890. This house at 3506 Duval was built in 1927 (similar brick to my house at 3406 Duval which was finished in 1929). It would be better to have completed plans to look at before weighing in on this remodel/partial demolition. We are losing too many structures which could be potentially contributing or restored to contributing structures. It is a shame that Austin does not embrace preservation in a meaningful way for our older neighborhoods. Mary Ingle CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

I understand from my next‐door neighbor Peter Komassa that there’s going to be a hearing on Monday, Oct. 25, on Historic Zoning for Casa McMath, 2501 Inwood Place. Like Peter, I share a property line (in back) with Casa McMath. Last month, and in August, I sent you short, handwritten notes against a proposal to demolish Casa McMath. I would now like to submit a statement in FAVOR of Historic Zoning for that property. I strongly endorse Peter Komassa’s statement below, where he says: "The 'McMath House' has a rich history, a celebrated mid‐century aesthetic, and, in many ways, it serves as the cornerstone of the Deep Eddy neighborhood given its prominent positioning on the Possum Trot throughway. This is, unequivocally, a historic landmark that I hope our community can preserve.” On the “other side” of this issue, I found a loosely‐written ‘Property Evaluation’ of the McMath House, prepared by an architectual firm called Vincent Gerard & Associates, Inc. (https://vincentgerard.com/about‐us/) that is summarized here: https://bandc.crccheck.com/historic‐landmark‐commission/368302‐d22‐2501‐inwood‐pl‐presentation‐updated/ (I can’t find the original document but would be glad to send it to you if you wish) I’d like to use my comment here to discuss that document, which concludes, on at least three grounds, that the McMath House is not worthy of preservation: The property is not typical of ‘Mid‐Century Modern’ ("The architecture is a mix of three or more architectures and does not conform to the styles of International or Mid‐century Modern”) The house is in poor condition McMath was not considered a ’Titian’ (lol) of architecture, unlike other notable UT architects None of these arguments are valid. Just because a property is atypical of some label (here, ‘Mid-Century Modern’) or shows multiple influences doesn’t necessarily make it aesthetically any less worthy (Bach was atypical of the German Baroque; Picasso was atypical in any of the many movements he joined and was most famous for his “mixing”, which was properly understood as eclecticism). The claim that the house is in poor condition is irrelevant, given …
Brummett, Elizabeth From: Sent: To: Subject: James Taylor Sunday, October 24, 2021 11:44 AM Brummett, Elizabeth 2501 Inwood Pl --Opposition to Applicant's demolition request *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Historic Landmark Commission Members: I am writing to you to share concerns about the pending request to demolish the house at 2501 Inwood Place. I have followed the process closely, as my wife and I own the home adjacent to the property. We want to register our opposition to granting the demolition permit on the basis that the structure and landscaping are part of a unique mid‐century era property that could be preserved and treasured, as carefully studied and reported by city staff. I especially want to highlight Mr. McMath’s contributions to education, architecture and relationships with Mexico. My wife and I were next door neighbors to Ms. Quita McMath, daughter of Hugh McMath. And before she sold the property, we had the opportunity to get to know her and hear stories about family travels to Mexico and her father’s appreciation and study of Mexican art and history and his personal connections to Monterrey Tech University (Instituto Tecnologico de Monterrey). Those connections led to academic summer trips to learn about Mexico’s art and culture. But Mr. McMath also worked to bring Monterrey Tech’s nascent architecture program into the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture, a first for any Mexico institution at the time. My personal background of growing up in northern Mexico made it easy for me to connect with Quita and her stories and travels to Mexico. While our encounter was brief, her recollections and remembrances of traveling throughout Mexico, and Monterrey in particular, were very vivid. Because of Mr. McMath’s commitment to reaching across international borders to build relationships between the University of Texas and Monterrey Tech, that relationship is even deeper and more vibrant today, expanding into other academic areas like the McCombs School of Business and the School of Engineering. And as it relates to UT’s School of Architecture, McMath’s mission to expose students to Mexican history, culture and architecture, and connect with other universities in Mexico, including Monterrey Tech, remain an important part of the curriculum and are now led by Juan Miró, distinguished teaching professor and internationally renowned architect. We urge the Commission to vote to preserve the historical and architectural significance of “Casa McMath”. James Taylor CAUTION: This email was received …
