A.3 - 1 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET HLC DATE: PC DATE: October 25, 2021 November 15, 2021 CASE NUMBER: PR-21-139164 COUNCIL DISTRICT: 1 APPLICANT: Historic Landmark Commission HISTORIC NAME: Mack and Gertrude Blocker House WATERSHED: Boggy Creek ADDRESS OF PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE: 1601 Cedar Avenue ZONING FROM: SF-3-NP to SF-3-H-NP SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the proposed zoning change from single family residence – Neighborhood Plan (SF-3-NP) combining district to single family residence – Historic Landmark – Neighborhood Plan (SF-3-H-NP) combining district zoning. QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: Architecture and historical associations. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: October 25, 2021: Initiated historic zoning. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The East Austin Historic Resources Survey (2016) recommends this house as contributing to a potential local or National Register Historic District. ACTION: PHONE: 974-6454 ORDINANCE NUMBER: CITY COUNCIL DATE: ORDINANCE READINGS: 1ST 2ND 3RD CASE MANAGER: Steve Sadowsky NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION: Austin Independent School District, Austin Lost and Found Pets, Austin Neighborhoods Council, Chestnut Addition Neighborhood Assn. (C.A.N.A.), Chestnut Neighborhood Plan Contact Team, Chestnut Neighborhood Revitalization Corporation (CNRC), Del Valle Community Coalition, East Austin Conservancy, Friends of Austin Neighborhoods, Homeless Neighborhood Association, Neighborhood Empowerment Foundation, Neighbors United for Progress, Preservation Austin, SELTexas, Sierra Club, Austin Regional Group BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: 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, A.3 -2 and boxed panel spandrels; replacement single 6:6 fenestration; central, hipped roof frame attic vent dormer. 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. Historical Associations: 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 …

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Sarah Arvey Tuesday, October 19, 2021 9:18 AM PAZ Preservation East Austin historic home needs to be saved *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** PR-2021-139064 Dear Commission, As a 10 year resident of East Austin, in the East Cesar Chavez neighborhood, I have witnessed the demolition of countless older homes like 1601 Cedar Ave. For the most part, developers replace these older homes of character and historic importance with homes in truly atrocious architectural styles that have nothing to do with the original homes and neighborhood styles. Quite often, these new homes are sold and turned into STR for tourists. Please consider recommending that 1601 Cedar Ave (PR‐2021‐139064) be designated historical, and worthy of saving from demolition. Thank you, Sarah Arvey ‐‐ ********************************* Sarah R.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS NOVEMBER 14, 2021 HR-2021-157034 HYDE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 3810 DUVAL STREET B.1 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct additions to a contributing house and noncontributing ADU. 1) Construct second-floor addition at south and west elevation, with dormers at north elevation. Proposed materials include fiber-cement shingle siding, composition roofing shingles, wood windows, and steel exterior stairs. 2) Add screened porch at west elevation and open porch at rear. Proposed materials include fiber-cement shingle siding and concrete porch and ramp, enclosed by a wood porch with metal screens. 3) Construct second-floor addition to existing ADU. Proposed materials include fiber-cement shingle siding, vinyl windows, and composition shingle roofing. ARCHITECTURE 1.5-story cross-gabled Craftsman bungalow with brick and stucco cladding, decorative bargeboards and gable ends, a partial-width porch with gabled roof, exposed rafter tails, and brick-clad piers. Fenestration includes single and mulled wood windows with decorative screens. The existing ADU is a one-story building with horizontal wood siding, a side- gabled roof with exposed rafter tails, and varying fenestration types. DESIGN STANDARDS The Hyde Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 4.1: Preservation of Historic Character. Construct additions so as to require the removal or modification of a minimum of historic fabric. Do not construct additions which will require the removal of any portion of the front façade. Design additions to existing residential buildings to reflect the form and style of the existing house. The proposed first-story rear addition requires removal of minimal historic fabric, while the second-floor addition removes a significant amount of existing roof material. It appears to incorporate an existing non-historic dormer addition. 4.2: Location. Locate new additions and alterations to the rear or rear side of the building so that they will be less visible from the street. While the proposed rear addition is appropriately sited, the second-floor addition is located atop the existing ridgeline at the main façade. The large staircase at the south elevation may also be visible from the street. 4.3: Roof, Fenestration, and Siding. 1. Make the pitch and height of the roof of the addition compatible to that of the existing house. 2. Make windows visible from the street on any addition compatible with those on the existing house in terms of sash configuration, proportion, spacing and placement. 3. Use exterior siding materials on …

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 …

Remove infill between and restore historic box columns. 2) Repair and selectively replace siding and trim. Install a new stucco foundation skirt and new concrete steps to the porch. 3) Install new fiberglass-clad 1:1 wood windows in an existing opening on the front (east) elevation, under the restored porch, and in enlarged openings on the south elevation. Install three mulled awning windows on the north elevation. Install a new glazed front door with a transom window; replace a secondary door from the porch with a window. 4) Replace composition shingles with standing-seam metal roofing. Install a skylight on the south side of the roof. 5) Demolish existing rear addition and construct a new two-story rear addition. The addition has a low-pitched, standing- seam metal gabled roof with deep overhangs and exposed rafter tails. Cladding is fiber-cement siding, with lap siding on first floor and board-and-batten on the upper floor. The addition has fiberglass-clad casement and awning windows. 6) Construct a detached two-story garage and garage apartment at the rear of the parcel. The building has a similar design to the addition, with lap and board-and-batten siding, casement and awning windows, and a low-pitched gabled roof. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story pyramidal-roofed Classical Revival house clad in horizontal wood siding. A portion of the integral partial-width porch has been infilled with matching siding between the box columns, leaving a central, recessed entrance. Two doors open from the porch, with a transom over the primary door. Windows are 1:1 wood sash. Wood moulding at the tops of the box columns and window trim lends refinement to the otherwise simple house. The house at 1012 Shelley Ave. was constructed around 1915. City directories record early occupants as the families of an employee of the Austin Street Railway and a lieutenant in the Austin Fire Department. During the 1920s, John H., Jr. and Grace Grist owned the house. Their son John R. Grist also is listed as living in the home upon reaching adulthood. John Grist, Jr. was superintendent of production plant of the E.L. Steck Company, a prominent office …

ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Remove existing two-story addition and replace with one-story addition. Replace portion of roof. Replace stucco. Replace all windows. 1) Demolish ca. 1980 two-story addition and replace with single-story addition at rear of house. The proposed addition is clad in stucco, with 6:6 single-hung windows. 2) Remove flat roof over existing dining room and replace with hipped roof. Match composition shingles to existing 3) Remove and replace all stucco. Repair water damage. 4) Remove and replace all windows and side door. Remove non-operable shutters.

The historic portion of the building has a cross-gabled hipped roof, 8:8 wood windows, decorative pilasters at entryway, and painted brick chimney. The house at 1508 W. 29th Street was built in 1937 by Grady King. Its earliest residents were Glenn and Lenore Thompson, who owned the property for about two years. Glenn Thompson worked as a petroleum engineer. By 1942, the house was occupied by the Jones and Griffin families. Martin S. Jones, an accountant, owned the home with his wife, Grace. Samuel J. and Frances Griffin, their in-laws, rented a portion of the house while Samuel served in the Army and opened a pecan sales business. Grace Jones remained in the home after Martin’s death in the early 1950s, becoming a saleswoman at T. H. William’s. 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 removes failed stucco and replaces it in-kind. It also removes and replaces historic-age windows at the front and side elevations. The window replacements at the main elevation do not require alteration of openings. 3. Roofs The proposed project replaces a flat portion of the roof with a hipped roof, and uses composition shingles as cladding.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 15, 2021 HR-2021-168400 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 504 LELAND STREET C.6 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1931 house and construct new house on its site. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish existing contributing building and construct a new house. The proposed building is two stories in height, with a compound gabled roof clad in composition shingles, horizontal fiber cement siding and fiber cement shingle siding, a front- facing garage, and single and mulled 2:2 windows. Exposed rafter tails accent the eaves. One-story, rectangular-plan frame bungalow with a partial-width, front-gabled independent porch; single and double 1:1 fenestration with 3:1 wood screens. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH The house was built around 1931 as a rental property and had a remarkable turnover in tenants until the mid-1940s, when it was purchased by Cecil and Artie Bowden, who lived here until around 1948. He was a driver for the Firestone Test Fleet. From the late 1940s until the mid-1950s, the house was owned and occupied by a captain for the Austin Fire Department and his wife, as well as a salesman for Yaring’s, a ladies’ department store; the salesman is listed singly here in the 1958 city directory. The house had more renters in the 1960s and early 1970s. It was purchased by computer operator Michael Asthalter and his wife Kristin in the mid-1980s. 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 is set approximately 34’ back from the street. The existing house appears to have a shallower setback than the proposed new building. 2. Orientation The proposed building is oriented toward Leland Street. It features an integral front-loading garage, which is inconsistent with the garage patterns in the district. 3. Scale, massing, and height While there are no adjacent contributing properties, most of the contributing buildings elsewhere on the block are one story in height, with simple massing. The proposed building is two stories, with more complex massing. Its front porch is appropriately stepped down, which helps to minimize its height. 4. Proportions The proposed building’s proportions are somewhat compatible with the surrounding district, as its use of stepdowns help to minimize its …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 15, 2021 HR-2021-161990 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 514 TERRACE DRIVE C.7 – 1 PROPOSAL Replace windows at front and side elevations. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Replace existing 1:1 windows with new double-hung 1:1 windows, retaining existing opening dimensions. 1.5-story Tudor Revival house clad in stone veneer with arched doorway, gabled roof, and 1:1 wood windows. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS The house at 514 Terrace Drive was built in 1937 by Drisdale and Osie Andrews. Drisdale Andrews worked as a pressman and printer for the American Printing Company. By 1944, the house was occupied by renters Adeline and Homer Elam, who served in the Army before working at the Capitol Chevrolet dealership. The home’s longest-term owners, Edwin and Violet Winterberg, moved in at the end of the 1940s. Edwin Winterberg worked as a plumber, and the two shared their home with Violet’s sister, Viola. 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 and replaces windows at the main and secondary façades of the house. 5. Windows, doors, and screens The proposed windows at the secondary façade will be replaced in-kind, without alteration to existing window openings, and will be constructed of composite material. The proposed replacements at the arched window on the primary façade will be replaced with two double-hung windows where three currently exist, and the divided fanlight above will be replaced with an undivided fanlight. Summary The project mostly meets the standards at secondary elevations, but does not meet the standards at the main elevation. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register district. 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 is constructed in the Tudor Revival style. 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 …

D.2 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS NOVEMBER 15, 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, …

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Mary Ingle Friday, October 22, 2021 2:32 PM PAZ Preservation Allen, Amber GF21-157165 - 3506 Duval ST *** External Email ‐ Exercise Caution *** To whom it may concern: I object to the partial demolition permit at 3506 Duval ST. 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.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS NOVEMBER 15, 2021 PR-2021-149935; GF-2021-164878 2003 HAMILTON AVENUE D.3 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct a 1,050 square foot one story rear addition and convert the house from single family to duplex use with alterations to the front façade. One-story, rectangular-plan, front -gabled frame bungalow with synthetic siding, single and double 1:1 and 2:2 fenestration, and a front-gabled independent porch on ornamental metal posts; stone foundation skirting. The applicant proposes the demolition of the existing roof and front façade to convert the house to a duplex, replacement of all windows and doors, and the installation of new doors and windows and a new full-width front porch. The existing façade has a single-leaf front door, a single and double set of 2:2 fenestration, and a partial-width front-gabled independent porch on ornamental metal posts. The proposal envisions the construction of a full-width independent porch with railing, installation of three neo-Craftsman doors (one for each unit, and a central door for entry to a storage unit, and installation of new windows consisting of a triple set of 6:1 windows on each side of the doorways and single 6:1 windows down the sides of the house. The existing front-gabled roof will be removed and replaced with a hipped roof. PROPERTY EVALUATION The house is located next to the landmarked Yerwood-Simonds house and would be contributing to the potential College Heights historic district, which would also incorporate the Richard Overton House. 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 is a vernacular bungalow with little architectural merit, and which has compromised integrity of materials. It is important in context, however, because College Heights was a Black subdivision for which prospective property owners had to pay cash, following redlining practices of the day. This resulted in the construction of simpler, less ornamental homes in the neighborhood as compared to houses built in non- redlined areas where financing was more flexible. b. Historical association. The house is located in College Heights, which imbues it with some significance in the context of a potential historic district, but does not have individual significance necessary for landmark designation. c. Archaeology. The …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS NOVEMBER 15, 2021 PR-21-148307; GF-2021-164895 2500 ROSEWOOD AVENUE D.4 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1948 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story, roughly rectangular plan flat-roofed, masonry house with mid-century Modern details, including a prominent masonry chimney. Windows were replaced in 2013. The house was built in 1948 by contractor Oliver Street for Huston-Tillotson music professors Bertrand and Hazel Poole Adams, who lived in this house almost until the time of their deaths. Both were very active in the music and band departments at Huston-Tillotson. Bertrand Adams was also a bandleader in Austin playing music recitals for the community. After graduating from Wiley College, he entered the military and came to central Texas. He began his work at Huston- Tillotson in 1945 and taught music there until 1955. He left the world to become an agent for an all-Black insurance company, and formed the Austin chapter of the National Business League. Hazel Adams continued teaching at Huston- Tillotson in the music department. They contributed heavily to promoting Austin’s Black musicians. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property is beyond the boundary of the 2016 East Austin Historic Resources Survey and was not included in any previous 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 may meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building embodies some of the tenets of mid-century Modern design in its long and low configuration, its exaggerated chimney, and its horizontal composition. b. Historical association. The property is associated with Huston-Tillotson professors Bertrand and Hazel Adams. More research will be necessary to evaluate their significance and contributions to the community. 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 Postpone to December 13, 2021 to further evaluate the significance of Bert and Hazel Adams as well as alternatives to …

ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story L-plan house with brick veneer and hipped roof. The house at 2412 Vista Lane was built in 1948 for Edmund “Jack” Revell and his family. Revell was an interior designer and the owner of Revell & Company, a furnishing store and design business with storefronts on West 14th Street and in Houston. Revell was one of the first Texans to become a member of the American Institute of Interior Design (then the American Institute of Decorators) and served on the Board of Directors of the Texas Fine Arts Association. He was president of the Austin Heritage Society, which later became Preservation Austin. Revell worked on hundreds of projects in Austin and surrounding cities, and his prestigious clientele included the Westgate Building, the Austin Woman’s Club, the Austin Club, the Headliners Club, St. David’s Episcopal Church, and dozens of luxury residences. While leading the Austin Heritage Society, Revell was instrumental in saving the Lundberg Bakery and redesigning the North-Evans Chateau, home of the Woman’s Club. PROPERTY EVALUATION 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: significant. a. Architecture. The building displays eclectic Revival-style influences, but does not appear to be architecturally b. Historical association. The property is associated with interior designer and business owner Jack Revell. 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 Release the demolition permit upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package. While Jack Revell was an influential Austin designer, the building does not appear to have sufficient architectural significance to meet both criteria for designation.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS NOVEMBER 15, 2021 PR-2021-156625; GF-2021-164906 2003 WILLOW STREET D.X – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a two-story addition to a ca. 1910 house. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish rear porch. 2) Construct a two-story addition at rear. The proposed addition is clad in vertical wood siding and stucco. The one-story stucco portion of the addition features planter beds atop the flat metal roof. The two-story addition is capped by a standing-seam metal side-gabled roof. Fenestration includes single pane fixed and sliding windows, skylights, and a 1:1 double-hung window to match existing windows at hyphen. 3) Add two matching windows to either side of existing 1:1 replacement window at main façade. One-story National Folk house with pyramidal hipped roof, 1:1 replacement windows, horizontal siding, and partial-width porch with flat roof and replacement posts. The house at 2003 Willow Street was constructed around 1910. It appears to have been built as a rental property, as significant occupant turnover occurred throughout the twentieth century. Its earliest residents included a salesman and a car inspector. A series of barbers inhabited the home in the early 1930s, followed by an engineer, a telephone operator, a steel fabricator, and a plumber. Mattie Mathhews, a cook, and her husband, Frank, were longer-term residents through the 1950s. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH 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: Residential additions 1. Location The proposed addition is set back beyond the main house, with a partial hyphen connecting new and old materials. 2. Scale, massing, and height The proposed addition is partially compatible in scale, massing, and height, though the two-story portion may appear taller than it is due to design choices discussed below. 3. Design and style The proposed addition is adequately differentiated from the existing building by its use of modern siding, roofing, and windows, as well as its position behind an articulated hyphen. The two portions of the addition are somewhat incompatible with the existing structure, as they are stylistically very distinct from one another. This contrast provides greater visual impact than is preferable for additions to historic-age properties. 4. Roofs The proposed flat green roof will be minimally visible from the street; however, visible planters at roof level are not …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS NOVEMBER 15, 2021 DA-2021-074501 & DA-2021-147611; GF-2021-168875 SKYVIEW BAPTIST CHURCH 211 WEST KOENIG LANE D.7 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Demolish a church sanctuary and fellowship hall built between 1952 and 1960. The sanctuary is a ca. 1960 one-story, front-gabled, stuccoed church building with blank walls and a principal entry facing north consisting of two sets of recessed double-leaf metal doors under a stuccoed canopy; there is a stylized metal steeple and a stuccoed parapet with the words “Skyview Baptist Church” in the façade of the parapet The ca. 1952 fellowship hall was modified in 1955 with the addition of a second story and consists now of a two-story U-plan ashlar-patterned limestone building with front-facing gable ends. The fellowship hall contains a combination of single double-leaf metal casements with fixed transoms on the ground floor and single, 2:2 fenestration on the second floor; all windows are set on stone lintels. The principal entry to the fellowship hall is recessed in the western projecting gable; there is a secondary entry opening on to the courtyard created by the configuration of the building. The original church was located at the corner of 56th Street and Chesterfield Avenue and was demolished for the construction of this complex. Members of Skyview Baptist Church undertook the construction of the new buildings in the 1950s through 1960; many of the congregants lived in this neighborhood. The Skyview Baptist Church sponsored many revivals from this complex; its biggest period of growth occurred in the early 1960s under pastor Bob Clements; this was also a golden era for the church’s softball team. Pastor Clements was also very active in pushing for a halfway house for ex-convicts in the old East Avenue Baptist Church in the 1960s. Many of the speakers who gave presentations at the church were former addicts and criminals, serving up inspiration for the congregation. This site has now been purchased by a private owner; Skyview Baptist Church sold the property in 2007 to the Austin Baptist Association; the current owner purchased the property from the Austin Baptist Association in 2020, so the Commission may review the application for the demolition of these structures in accordance with state law. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property was surveyed in 2019 as part of the survey of the North Loop neighborhood, but has no priority for preservation. The survey does not recommend the …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS NOVEMBER 15, 2021 PR-2021-164123; GF-2021-168192 1912 TILLOTSON AVENUE D.8 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1931 frame bungalow. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story, rectangular-plan, front-gabled frame bungalow with synthetic siding, single 1:1 fenestration, and a partial-width inset porch on ornamental metal supports. The house was built around 1931 in the College Heights Addition, just north and east of the present Huston-Tillotson College campus. College Heights was developed as an owner-occupied subdivision for Black homeowners, so this house is an anomaly in the mix. The first tenant was an air compressor operator for the city; Henry and Sarah Hill rented this house until around 1936, when it was purchased by Corley and Willie Steward, who lived here until around 1948. Corley Steward was a teacher at the old L.C. Anderson High School while he and Willie lived here. He later became the principal of Oak Springs Elementary School. The house was then purchased by John D. and Iris L. Parks, who lived here at least through the late 1950s. John D. Parks was a chauffeur. PROPERTY EVALUATION The East Austin Historic Survey notes this house as contributing to a potential historic district incorporating the College Heights subdivision, but staff disagrees, given that it has had modifications to the siding, windows, and door, and does not share the commonality of owner-purchased houses at the outset of the establishment of the subdivision. 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 may not meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building is a vernacular working class frame bungalow with little architectural distinction. This is a very common type in Austin, and the house has been modified, compromising its integrity of materials. b. Historical association. The property was associated with Corley Steward, a teacher at the old L.C. Anderson High School when he lived in this house; he later went on to become principal of Oak Springs Elementary. There is little indication that this house has any significance with this due to its association with Steward. 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 …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS NOVEMBER 15, 2021 PR-21-160810 1007 CHICON STREET D.9 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1933 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story, clipped side-gabled frame Craftsman-style bungalow with minimal Tudor Revival influences, including faux half-timbering in the clipped front-gabled independent porch on brick piers and battered wood posts; single and double 1:1 fenestration; railed-in front porch with boxed sections for ornamental effect; stone front stairs from the sidewalk; stone front retaining wall. The house appears to have been built as a rental property in 1933; until around 1943, there was a series of renters, including a dishwasher at Scarbrough’s, a cook, and a porter. From around 1943, the house was owned by Howard A. and Velma Patridge, who lived here at least through the end of the 1950s. Howard A. Patridge was a laborer for the City Water Department; Velma Patridge worked off and on as a secretary for a Black insurance company. Velma and Howard Patridge lived here until around 1948; after that time, Howard lived here with a woman named Gloria, who was a public school teacher. PROPERTY EVALUATION The East Austin Historic Resources Survey does not recommend local or National Register eligibility for this house. Staff disagrees with the National Register determination, and finds that the house could be eligible for NR listing under Criterion A for architecture. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate integrity and represents a good example of a clipped gable bungalow. 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: East Austin. a. Architecture. The building is a good example of a clipped gable bungalow, a relatively rare type, especially in b. Historical association. The property does not appear to have any significant historical associations; for at least 20 years during the historic period, a city utility worker and his wife lived here. 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 …

QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: Architecture, historical associations, community value. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: October 25, 2021: Initiated historic zoning. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The building does not appear to be listed, at least with this address, in the Comprehensive Cultural Resources Survey (1984). ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: CITY COUNCIL DATE: ORDINANCE READINGS: 1ST 2ND 3RD CASE MANAGER: Steve Sadowsky NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION: Austin Independent School District, Austin Lost and Found Pets, Austin Neighborhoods Council, City of Austin Downtown Commission, Downtown Austin Alliance, Downtown Austin Neighborhood Assn. (DANA), Friends of Austin Neighborhoods, Homeless Neighborhood Association, Neighborhood Empowerment Foundation, Preservation Austin, Red Line Parkway Initiative, SELTexas, Sierra Club, Austin Regional Group BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: Architecture: PHONE: 974-6454 A.4 - 2 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. 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 for landmark designation under the architectural criterion as a good example of a utilitarian structure with few alterations. Historical Associations: 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 …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS NOVEMBER 15, 2021 C14H-2009-0029; HR-2021-148730 DAVIS HOUSE 1600 GASTON AVE. B.2 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a second-story addition over the garage. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Replace existing concrete paver driveway with limestone pavers in existing driveway location. 2) Install copper lanterns flanking the front door and on the site walls at the front of the sidewalk. 3) Replace inoperable double-hung wood windows on front and side elevations with painted wood windows with true divided lights and insulated glass. 4) Install a new window within a taller opening than existing on the west side elevation near the garage. 5) Construct a second-story addition on the garage. Changes to the garage to accommodate the addition include reducing the width of the garage door, adding a window, shortening the depth of the entry porch, and retaining and relocating the existing door. The limestone-clad addition will have a side-gabled composition shingle roof, with the roof slope and details to match the house. Windows will be aluminum-clad wood with mullions to match those on the house. A wood trellis will be installed above the garage door near the height of the existing roof fascia. ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STANDARDS One-story side-gabled stone-veneered Colonial Revival-styled house with a full-width independent porch on plain square wood posts; the symmetrical façade features a central entry flanked with sidelights and a 6:6 Colonial Revival-styled window at each side of the entry. The house has a side-gabled stone-veneered integral garage to the left and set back from the principal block of the house. 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: Repair and alterations 5. Windows, doors, and screens The standards for landmarks indicate that historic windows, doors, and shutters should be repaired and retained except in cases of extreme damage or deterioration. Further, window openings should not be enlarged except to accommodate an addition, and new openings must be limited and compatible with the building’s architectural character. The project initially proposed replacement of the front door and sidelights and removal of shutters on the façade.

Thanks, Tobin ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Hello, I OBJECT to this Permit. I have sent the following information, along with the form, via postal mail, but being uncertain of the timing and arrival of the mail, I wanted to email you the same information. Due to Covid, I will be unable to attend the public hearing in person, but I wanted to provide written comments. I live at 1705 Nickerson St in a 1928 Craftsman Bungalow, similar to the one at 504 Leland. I object to the demolition of the house for the following reasons: 1 1. This is a historic building in a historic district. It will certainly be replaced with a modern style home (based on the types of homes Jack Booth Construction tends to favor), which only further degrades the historic district. What is the purpose of having a historic district if we remove all the historic homes that give it character? 2. The home is not a tear‐down. It is certainly in need of repairs, as all older homes require. I do not want to provide support for demolishing a perfectly habitable home and filling our landfill needlessly and wastefully. 3. We need affordable housing in our neighborhood. Certainly, this current historic home is much more affordable than what would replace it. 4. From a personal perspective, my property taxes are skyrocketing every year, not due to my home evaluation, but due to the land evaluation. Travis County concludes that the value of the land for a home that was purchased and demolished is equal to the price paid for the home and land together. Purchasing a perfectly habitable home, then demolishing it, only increases my land valuation.

These houses have a special place on this main thoroughfare that was once a bustling and lively, predominantly African American community. 1007 Chicon faces Huston-Tillotson University and speaks to me every time I walk past of the relationship of the homes and stores on that side of Chicon and the University community across the street. 1007 Chicon St. is a beautiful example of the Texas vernacular that defines many central Austin neighborhoods since the late turn of the last century. What steps will you take to protect and preserve it? Thank you.
