HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS DECEMBER 17, 2021 HR-2021-193614 WEST LINE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1808 W. 6TH STREET C.5 – 1 1) Demolish existing contributing buildings on this parcel. The Historic Landmark Commission previously released these PROPOSAL Construct eight condominium units. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS demolitions: • Minutes from December 17, 2018 (Item C.8) • Minutes from January 28, 2019 (Item C.5) • Staff report for 1806 W. 6th St. • Staff report for 1808 W. 6th St. 2) Construct eight condominium units in separate buildings. The buildings will be 2- to 3 ½-stories in height, with taller buildings closer to W. 6th St. and lower buildings by the neighboring 1-story house on Theresa Ave. The proposed buildings have a variety of siding materials, including brick, stone, plaster, and horizontal and vertical fiber-cement siding. Flat-roofed elements are paired with hipped or gabled metal roofs. 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 2. Orientation 3. Scale, massing, and height 4. Proportions This site is unusual within the context of the West Line Historic District, as it sits at the westernmost edge adjacent to the MoPac Expressway, with a flyover looming overhead. It is located at the end of W. 6th St. at Theresa Ave. The site is higher at the rear and slopes downward toward the intersection. To the east are three substantial 2-story houses from the 1920s that contribute to the district. To the north is a contributing 1-story bungalow dating to ca. 1925. The design standards indicate that new construction should be located with similar setbacks and orientation to neighboring houses, should maintain the rhythm of contributing buildings on the street, and should have an overall height, massing, and proportions similar to neighboring houses. Four of the eight proposed buildings front onto W. 6th St. or Theresa Ave., while the remainder are interior to the site. Some of the buildings are oriented to the street, while others face an interior driveway through the site. The units are spaced closely together in a way that does not mimic the rhythm of contributing buildings in this block. While there is an effort to step down towards the 1-story house on …

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 some existing roof material. 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. The applicant has implemented Committee recommendations to pull the addition’s façade back from the existing gable. 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.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS DECEMBER 17, 2021 HR-2021-180207 SWEDISH HILL NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 906 E 14TH STREET C.2 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Partially demolish rear and side of one-story house to construct a second-floor addition with roof deck. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Partially demolish rear and west elevations. 2) Remove and replace windows and doors at east elevation. 3) Construct a second story addition. The proposed addition is located at the west-facing portion of the house, directly above the existing building. It is set back beyond the ridgeline of the original house, and features a gabled standing- seam metal roof. A roof deck is situated immediately behind the ridgeline. The proposed addition is clad in vertical standing-seam metal and insulated prefabricated panels and features fixed and casement single-pane windows placed irregularly throughout. One-story Folk Victorian house with board-and-batten siding and a full-width porch. Scalloped siding adorns the front- facing gable end. According to the Swedish Hill National Register Historic District nomination, the front door’s location has been altered. The house at 906 E. 14th Street was built around 1887. Its first occupant was widow Susan Gaines. The home’s early years were fraught with resident turnover; occupants included a wood dealer, a horse trader, carpenters and laborers, a teamster, and a saleswoman. By the early 1920s, Oscar E. and Ethel M. Free purchased the house; it remained in the family until at least 1959. Oscar E. Free was a printer and linotype operator who worked for the Texas Poster Publishing Company, the Knape Printing Company, the Von Boeckmann-Jones Company, the Austin Daily Tribune, the American Publishing Company, and the Statesman. 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 additions 1. Location The proposed addition is located behind the existing ridgeline of the house. 2. Scale, massing, and height The proposed addition is two stories, while the existing house is one story in height. It does not appear subordinate to the historic portion of the house from street-facing or secondary elevations. 3. Design and style The proposed addition is appropriately differentiated from the existing house by its irregular fenestration pattern, undivided windows, window-to-wall ratio, and metal siding; however, these design elements are not …

Demolish existing non-contributing ADU. Repair windows. Replace roof with standing-seam metal or composition shingles. Modify dormers and roofline at main façade, removing chimney and replacing dormers. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish non-contributing ADU at rear of property. 2) Partially demolish existing house, including existing chimney, and construct a two-story addition at rear. The proposed addition is clad in brick to match the historic portion of the house. The addition will have a compound gabled roofline, clad to match the existing building. Fenestration is varied throughout, including fixed-pane, casement, and single-hung windows. The roofline at the main elevation is slightly modified to accommodate the addition. A carport extends to the rear of the property. 3) Replace dormers at main elevation with single large dormer. The proposed dormer has a shed roof and three multilight windows. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story Colonial Revival-inspired house with brick cladding, a side-gabled roof with gabled dormers, and 8:8 and 6:6 wood windows. The front stoop includes turned columns and an open pediment above a decorative arch, as well as multi- paned sidelights atop decorative wainscoting. A dentillated cornice and simple frieze are visible below the shallow eaves, and side elevations feature traditional cornice returns. The house at 1811 Alta Vista was built between 1931 and 1935 for Robert E., Jr. and Willard Nitschke.

COTERA+REED ARCHITECTS Historic Review Application November 15, 2021 Description of Proposed Work Our intention for the property is to enlarge the existing house within the footprint of the main structure and the existing garage, to create a single family residence with approximately 3,640 square feet. The renovated house will have three bedrooms 3 ½ baths, a study, living, dining and kitchen and carport. The new construction will require removing the existing garage on the alley and the apartment above it. It will also require removing a large part of the back wall of the house to create large areas of glass facing the back yard. The foundation and floor and ceiling framing in those areas will be reused, and reinforced as necessary. The new structure will be two stories except along the front of the existing house. The existing street facing façade will be kept as it is currently, but some work will need to be done to the windows, which are inoperable. The new exterior material will be brick, matching the existing as much as possible. The existing roof will be replaced with new, either asphalt shingle or standing seam metal. The existing roof shingles are an asbestos based product and need to be removed. Most interior walls will be removed and relocated to conform to the new layout. The ceiling framing and floor framing will be kept primarily intact in the footprint of the existing house. All gypsum board will be removed. New insulation will be installed at the exterior walls, the roof and the floor. Cedar piers in the crawlspace of the existing house will be replaced with concrete. The electrical and plumbing systems will be replaced with new. A photovoltaic array will be installed on the roof of the addition and garage with the intention of creating an energy neutral (net zero energy) home. 1801 San Antonio #406 Austin, Texas 78701 512 472 3300 www.coterareed.com WEST ELEVATION FACING STREET 1811 ALTA VISTA PARTIAL DEMO PERMIT APPLICATION NOVEMBER 14, 2021 COTERA+REED ARCHITECTS ALTA Design Partners SOUTH ELEVATION 1811 ALTA VISTA PARTIAL DEMO PERMIT APPLICATION NOVEMBER 14, 2021 COTERA+REED ARCHITECTS ALTA Design Partners NORTH ELEVATION 1811 ALTA VISTA PARTIAL DEMO PERMIT APPLICATION NOVEMBER 14, 2021 COTERA+REED ARCHITECTS ALTA Design Partners EAST ELEVATION 1811 ALTA VISTA PARTIAL DEMO PERMIT APPLICATION NOVEMBER 14, 2021 COTERA+REED ARCHITECTS ALTA Design Partners WEST AND SOUTH ELEVATION GARAGE APARTMENT EAST ELEVATION GARAGE APARTMENT NORTH …
C.4 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS DECEMBER 17, 2021 HR-2021-190552 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1107 GASTON AVENUE PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Partially demolish building and construct two-story side and rear additions with basement. Replace front door and sidelights. Replace roof, gutters, and downspouts. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Partially demolish building to remove existing attached garage, rear additions, and rear windows/walls. 2) Rebuild garage as side addition with new second story above. The proposed addition includes a front-facing garage, multi-light casement windows, and exterior brick to match existing. 3) Construct two-story rear addition with basement and terrace. The proposed addition is clad in brick, precast panels, and glass, with single and mulled multi-light casement windows. The terrace includes metal handrails. 4) Replace front door and sidelights. 5) Replace roof and gutters/downspouts to match existing. Two-story brick house with Monterey-style balcony, hipped roof, masonry chimney, multi-light steel casement windows, and attached front-loading garage. The house at 1107 Gaston Avenue was built in 1939 for John Harvey, Sr. and Lucille Nash. John Harvey Nash was a car salesman from Waco who established the John H. Nash Automobile Company in 1927. The dealership started off selling Chrysler-DeSoto vehicles. By 1935, Nash had changed the dealership’s name and focus to Capitol Chevrolet, which became one of Austin’s largest and most influential car dealerships. After Nash’s death, the business remained with the Nash family; John Harvey Nash, Jr. became the company’s president and Lucille Nash retained her position as vice president. Lucille Nash remained in the house until at least 1959 after her marriage to James Motheral, a concrete company owner. During her time in the house, Lucille Nash—a trained musician—also became president of the Austin Symphony. 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 National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential additions 1. Location The proposed additions are located at the front/side and rear of the property. The side addition is slightly stepped back from the front of the house. 2. Scale, massing, and height The proposed additions are two stories in height, with a basement level visible only from the rear.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS DECEMBER 17, 2021 PR-21-148307; GF-2021-164895 2500 ROSEWOOD AVENUE D.1 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1948 house. ARCHITECTURE This long, one-story Ranch-style house spans across four lots at the corner of Rosewood Ave. and Bedford St. The house is turned slightly on the site such that the façade faces south toward the intersection. The house is surmounted by a side-gabled roof, with a gable on hipped roof over a small front wing at the east end of the façade and a smaller hipped wing on the east elevation. The porch is a small stoop at the corner of the wing and main volume, with a shed roof supported by decorative ironwork. At the west end of the house is a flat-roofed garage wing. Next to the single-car garage door is a secondary entrance with a metal awning. The 1947 building permit notes a garage, but this wing appears to be an addition. A major feature of the house is a substantial rectilinear limestone chimney with three flues that intersects and extends forward from the façade. From the chimney to the porch, the house is clad in limestone. The rest of the house has aluminum siding. Windows were replaced in 2013 and include 1:1, horizontal sliding, and picture windows. There is also a large opening with glass blocks between the chimney and garage. RESEARCH The house was built in 1948 by contractor Oliver Street for Huston-Tillotson professors Bertrand “Bert” and Hazel Poole Adams, who lived in this house almost until the time of their deaths. Bertrand Adams (1912–1999) was from Waco, Texas. He graduated from Wiley College in Marshall, Texas, earned a Master’s in Music Education from Texas Southern University. Bertrand completed a tour of duty in the Navy and was a trombone player in the Navy band. Hazel Poole Adams (1913–2005) was born in Shreveport, Louisiana. She earned a Bachelor’s degree in Education from Wiley College and a Master’s in Health, Physical Education & Recreation from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. Bertrand and Hazel Adams were college sweethearts and married in 1941.

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Sarah Simpson Friday, December 17, 2021 10:02 AM PAZ Preservation John David Carson Support for Case Number HR 21-193614 - 1808 W 6th Street *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** To Amber Allen, Please accept this email as a word in favor of the proposed project for eight or more condominium units at 1808 W. 6th street. I am in favor of making Austin a more walkable, accessible city with more abundant housing. This proposal will do much more good for the city's housing situation by creating eight new homes where there is currently just one home (which I understand to be unoccupied as a residence) in a centrally located area. Similarly, the current site density does not support sustainable public transportation service. But when redeveloped at eight units this site will just reach a transit‐supportive density and be able to better contribute to Austin's public transportation goals to reduce car dependency, particularly because it is within 1/2 mile of several different bus stops / lines. Redevelopment of this site also allows the contextual adjacencies of today (the presence of Mopac difficult site grading, etc.) to be taken into account that were not present long ago when the site was originally developed. As the proposed site plan and elevations (as accessed from https://www.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=373271) suggest, the redevelopment will create grade‐responsive front entries along 6th / Theresa and overall improve upon the current awkward site condition. Furthermore, this project also creates the opportunity to improve the public realm for both the future residents and current neighbors. Unmanaged speeds and access to the mopac on‐ramp make for dangerous vehicular speeding; and with the lack of sidewalks in various areas pedestrians are quite vulnerable when transitioning from Theresa around to 6th street. This project has the opportunity to ‐ at the very minimum ‐ incorporate improved sidewalk design, right‐sized curb cuts / curb radii to slow car traffic in and out of the site, and enhanced native landscaping to contribute to a better pedestrian experience. Similarly, it is my hope that the City of Austin would also take this opportunity to improve the safety of the roadway conditions in this area to slow vehicular speeds at the same time. Nevertheless, latter ask of the city aside, this project will make the site better for neighbors and all those who walk by the site regularly, myself included. …
