PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS 1) Demolish existing rear porch and partial addition. 2) Extend roofline of original building to construct a two-story addition. The proposed addition has horizontal fiber cement siding to match the existing siding, painted wood windows to match existing double-hung 6:6 windows, and a composition shingle roof to match the existing roof. 3) Remove and rebuild existing chimney. One-story Colonial Revival house with symmetrical plan, full-width porch, side-gabled roof, and 6:6 wood windows. The house at 1709 Wethersfield Road was constructed in 1936. It was primarily a rental house with short-term occupants for much of the early 20th century, though Alma Street Pitts and her husband, Norman, purchased the property in the 1950s. The Pitt family owned and operated the Street Furniture Company. 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 alters the existing roofline. 3. Roofs See 1. The proposed project extends the existing side-gabled roofline upward to accommodate the two-story addition. 7. Chimneys The proposed project removes and rebuilds the existing chimney. Residential additions 1. Location The proposed addition is located to the rear of the house, extending the existing ridgeline. 2. Scale, massing, and height The proposed addition is much larger in scale than the existing original house or addition, and the roofline modification may increase its visual weight. It does not appear to be stepped in from the original portion of the house. 3. Design and style The proposed addition’s design and style appear to meet the standards. 4. Roofs See 2. 5. Exterior walls The proposed exterior wall materials are compatible. 13 – 2 6. Windows, screens, and doors The proposed new fenestration appears appropriate. Summary The project meets some of the applicable standards. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Old West Austin National Register Historic District. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high to moderate integrity. 3) Properties …

14 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS MARCH 6, 2024 HR-2024-017536 SIXTH STREET NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 600 EAST SIXTH STREET PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Rehabilitate building; add metal awnings; and add, replace, and repair windows. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS South Elevation: (6th Street) Add a new metal awning. Maintain the corner entry at 6th and Red River and reintroduce glazing on either side of the entry door. Replace the non-original storefront and clerestory windows. Repair and replace the second-level windows as needed. West Elevation: (Red River Street) Repaint and repair the stucco. The proposed awning wraps the corner to capture the corner entry, reusing existing eyebolts as connection points. Rework the secondary façade by adding new storefront openings along the first floor and adding new windows on the second level. Two-part commercial block comprising three original units. The building is clad in masonry at the main elevation, which appears to have been damaged during stucco removal; the secondary elevation still retains its stucco cladding. Fenestration includes replacement storefronts at the first floor, replacement windows at the second floor beneath paired masonry half- arches, and wood windows of varying dimensions at the secondary elevation. 600-604 East 6th Street first appears on the 1900 Sanborn map as a replacement for a smaller brick building with a single tenant space. It first served as the home of Caldwell-Murchison-Lee, a mercantile and grocery firm. By 1912, the Caldwell Brothers had taken over the grocery business at this location, and the Murchison-Lee mercantile had moved to East 5th Street. After a fire decimated the Muchison-Lee building in 1917, the Caldwells allowed the displaced Trade Union— second-floor tenants—to gather in their space to plan rebuilding. Tenants included a grocer, dry goods, and furniture store until the 1930s, when the Monterey Café, various hardware stores, a billiards club, and the Austin Exterminating Company moved in. By the 1940s, 600 and 602 were occupied by the Austin Auto Supply Company, with the Austin Barber College next door at 604. The Austin Auto Supply Company occupied all three units during the 1950s. DESIGN STANDARDS The design standards established by Ordinance No. 20230720-160 (July 2023) and based on the Citywide Historic Design Standards for properties in the 500 and 600 blocks of East Sixth Street apply. The proposed project was evaluated based on the following applicable standards: Rehabilitate and adaptively reuse contributing buildings, including at least the …

15 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS MARCH 6, 2024 HR-2024-017546 SIXTH STREET NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 709 EAST SIXTH STREET PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Rehabilitate building, add metal awnings, replace storefront, and repoint brick. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS North Elevation: Add a new metal awning to this building per 1970s photo. Repair and repoint the existing brick wall as needed and maintain the existing lighting on the storefront. Replace the existing storefront. One-story masonry commercial building with transom windows above awning, simple detailing at cornice, and a stepped walkway to a basement level at Waller Creek. The building at 709 East Sixth Street, addressed throughout the years as 705-709 East Sixth Street, was built around 1906. It first served as the grocery store of Abraham Tannous and his family, lauded as “the best-known Syrian” in Austin in his 1923 obituary. Tannous shared the space with a jeweler, a confectioner, and various private rentals at the rear of the shops. After his retirement, the building housed Mamie and George Hodges’ fruit stand and soda fountain, Charles Gregory’s jewelry store, and a variety of smaller groceries. By the late 1930s, Abraham Nassour and Namie Jacob had taken up the grocery businesses in the building, though by the mid-forties, Nassour transitioned his business to Abe’s Place, a package store. Nassour had previously run a saloon at 721 East Sixth Street alongside his brother, also a grocer. The brothers, born in Beirut, were also part of the larger community of Syrian and Lebanese merchants who helped to establish 6th Street as a bustling business district in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. 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 mostly non-historic material. 4. Exterior walls and trim The proposal includes repair of historic-age brick. 11. Commercial storefronts The proposed storefront and awning are appropriate in scale and design for the district. Summary The project meets the applicable standards. The applicant has amended the design to reflect Committee feedback. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property is listed as noncontributing to the Sixth Street National Register district, but the 2022 Sixth Street Snapshot resurvey recommends the property as contributing to the …

16 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS MARCH 6, 2024 HR-2024-017548 SIXTH STREET NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 713 EAST SIXTH STREET PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Rehabilitate the building, repaint and repair gates, replace the storefront, and repoint brick. Repair and repoint the existing brick wall as needed and repair the existing entry stair. The proposed design includes replacing the existing storefront to fit within the existing masonry openings and repainting the existing gates on the front façade. No work is proposed for the back façade. Arched façade of a one-story masonry commercial building with a non-historic storefront and basement level beyond. The building at 713 East Sixth Street, known as 711 and 717 East Sixth Street, was built in 1894 as a grain and feed store. It was then used as a bakery by Mathias Grein before he moved to 722 East Sixth Street. From 1912 to 1937, Henry William Schlieker sold furniture from the building, sharing tenant space with watchmaker G. L. San Miguel. From 1941 to 1952, the building housed the Hong Kong Café, which changed hands several times before the building became vacant in 1955. The 1962 Sanborn map shows a vacant lot where the building appears to have stood; thus, the removal of the building behind the façade appears to have taken place between 1960 and 1962. 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 does not remove any historic material. 4. Exterior walls and trim The proposal includes the repair of historic-age brick. 11. Commercial storefronts The proposed storefront is appropriate in scale and design for the district. Summary The project meets the applicable standards. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property is listed as contributing to the Sixth Street National Register district. The 2022 Sixth Street Snapshot resurvey recommends the property as contributing to the Sixth Street National Register Historic District. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain low integrity. Only the façade remains. 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 …

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story Craftsman house with two-story rear addition. Remove the existing deck and construct a screened porch addition in its place, with a gabled roof and cladding/roofing to match the existing materials. The house at 207 East Milton was constructed around 1918. It appears to have been a rental property for most of its existence, housing South Austinites from all walks of life: salesmen, truck drivers, widows, students, and receptionists, to name a few. Around 1949, it was purchased by Mrs. Maudine H. Jackson. Jackson lived there with her daughter until at least 1959. Both women worked as secretaries at the City Police Department. 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 addition is located at the rear of the building.

19 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS MARCH 6, 2024 PR-2023-158329; GF-2023-161497 2802 PEARCE LANE PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Demolish a house constructed between 1910 and 1930 and an outbuilding constructed in 1972. One-story rustic cabin with a Craftsman-style, shingle-clad front gable; deep front porch supported by simple posts atop massive, tapered stone piers; 6:6 wood windows; massive rubble fireplace, and rustic stone cladding throughout. The rear portion of the building appears to be a later addition, as is the secondary structure on the lot; however, neither appears to impact the integrity of the original structure. As the property was annexed in 1982, historic-age research is largely unavailable from public sources. However, TCAD records indicate that the building’s legal description is Lot 1 of the Leigh Subdivision, with the plat filed in 1968, and that Mrs. Amelia Leigh, wife of the late Horage R. Leigh, owned the property. During the 1940s, the Leighs lived in Gonzales, and during the ‘50s, they lived across the river bend on Mt. Barker Drive. It is likely that they used the property as a vacation home or fishing cabin, and that it represents one of the earliest recreational uses of this area. Amelia Freeman Leigh was a Fort Worth native and businesswoman. After graduating from business school, she moved to Austin and worked for the IRS for ten years. Leigh was the first woman to be appointed to the position of Deputy Collector of the IRS. She married Horace Rudgley Leigh in 1946, and the family moved to Gonzales, where H. R. Leigh operated a car dealership.1 The building is directly adjacent to the Ski Shores marina. Aerial photographs show that the building was associated with small-scale farmland into the 1940s, though TCAD records indicate it was built in 1910. 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: a. Architecture. The building is a good example of Texas vernacular architecture, combining classic Craftsman styling with rough rustic stone and unpainted woodwork. b. Historical association. The property is associated with Amelia F. Leigh, the first woman appointed to the position of Deputy Collector of the IRS; however, her relationship with the property as a vacation …
Client: Address: OBSERVATION REPORT Bill McKean 2802 Pearce Road, Austin, TX February 1, 2024 On 26 January 2024, George Breehl, Inspection Supervisor, observed the home at the above address to identify health or safety concerns and/or deviation from adopted codes and standards governing existing buildings which have resulted in reported leaks and structural damage in the home. A. Report Limitations Please note, this report is based on the visual examination of the structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing. No intrusive examinations have been performed, and no samples of materials have been taken for laboratory testing. No mold or air quality testing was conducted. No water quality testing was conducted. The observations, opinions, and recommendations are based entirely upon our visual examination, compiled data, and interviews with the tenants/owners as applicable. No detailed structural analysis of existing members has been performed, and no rehabilitation designs are provided in this report. ATS Engineers makes no warranties or guarantees, either expressed or implied, that all items of a deficient nature and/or improper construction techniques, etc. have been discovered and commented upon in this report. This report has been prepared to identify current deficiencies observed on the date of inspection and should not be considered an exhaustive description of every item that may require remedial attention. In some cases, additional examinations may be warranted to fully evaluate the deficiencies noted. Portions of the items inspected were covered, inaccessible or unavailable, therefore, unable to be thoroughly inspected. B. General Description of the Home and Accessory Building The home is a one-story, wood-framed structure, which measures approximately 28 feet across the front and 54 feet along the sides. The exterior consists of natural stone bearing walls with some wood siding. The roof is covered with composition shingles (not original roofing material). Per Travis CAD records, the home was constructed ca. 1910. An accessory building measuring approximately 15 feet by 12 feet was noted at the rear left corner of the property. Like the main home, the building is covered with stacked natural stone, wood siding and composition roof shingles. Based on discussions with the Owner, we understand this property has not been occupied in 53 years. C. General Observations C01. Exterior: The front gable of the house is warped. There is a downward and inward curve of the gable framing. The wood columns at the front porch are leaning inward following the curvature of the gable. The …

FRONT PORCH – ROOF & FRAMING “There is a downward and inward curve of the gable framing. The wood columns at the front porch are leaning inward following the curvature of the gable. The columns appear to be undersized. It was noted that the beam supporting the left side of the porch canopy is rotting with portions missing. The roofing at the front left side of the porch is rotted and falling.” STONEWORK “Large cracks were noted in the wall along the perimeter of the front porch. It was noted that some cracks were more than 1” wide; for reference cracks greater than 1/8” typically require structural repair. It appears that these wider cracks are partial recurrences of larger cracks (up to 3”) that were previously repaired.” FOUNDATION “The right side of the house appears to be a clear path for rain runoff… Part of the foundation along the right side and at the front of the entry porch has been undermined by the erosion… It was noted that the backyard drains towards the back of the house… It appears that the result of this is water migration into these areas of the house… The visible portions of the foundation framing of the house have completely deteriorated.” ROOF “Several holes were noted in the roof. This resulted in wet areas in the house and the rotting of some site-built roof trusses, window headers, and other lumber in the house. It appears that several trusses have been repaired previously… The construction of the roof trusses and the subsequent repairs appear to fall significantly short of acceptable engineering practices. It appears that the roofs of both buildings have begun to collapse.” INTERIOR “In general, the house is open to the elements… The house has an extraordinarily strong smell of mildew… It was also noted that some electrical splices were unprotected…. It was noted that the subfloor of the kitchen and the bathroom, including floor joists and beams, has almost completely rotted away. It was noted that the floor or the bathroom is filled with mildew. It was also noted that the walls were partially covered in mildew… The moisture and smell of the house poses a risk to the health and safety to persons on the property.” CONCLUSIONS “These buildings are dilapidated and unfit for habitation… Based on the number of structural deficiencies noted in the roofs of the main house and …

Unfortunately, I am unable to attend as my wife and I will be at UT Health Hospital for meetings with her neurologist subsequent to some tests she has had. I referred to Vickie’s health issues at our Historic Committee meeting in February as part of our justification on why we are building our ADA compliant home on Pearce Rd. I apparently missed your original email that sent this invite out, as it was addressed to the person hired to demo the existing structure. That email was forwarded to me, it may have gone to my spam folder, but was missed. My apologies for that, I would have contacted you much earlier than today had I seen your original mail. Our architect Rodney Palmer, who also attended the meeting in February and I discussed wether the structure could be saved when we first purchased the property and hired Cornerstone. Given its condition, the limited property able to be built on (given trees on site, flood plan and LA zoning) and my wife’s medical requirements -including a consistent temperature controlled climate along with the 0 degree slope in the home Rodney designed, did not see any options to use the structure as part of our new design. We also hired a structural engineer to get a 3rd party assessment of the property , which was included as part of our package for the Feb. meeting. That report also raised concerns about the ability to salvage this structure. Our builder is also an engineer, he also raised concerns about wether the existing structure could be salvaged and useful when visiting the site. There was a suggestion at the Feb meeting by one of the committee board members as to wether it was possible to take down and transport the structure to City Park, which was a few miles from the site. I know we are not in a financial position to support that suggestion, so we did not consider that as a viable option. Please let me know if there is other information we can provide to support our …

BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: § 25-2-352(3)(c)(ii) Historical Associations. The property has long-standing significant associations with persons, groups, institutions, businesses, or events of historic importance that contributed significantly to the history of the city, state, or nation; or represent a significant portrayal of the cultural practices or the way of life of a definable group of people in a historic time. The buildings at 1206 East 13th Street and 1209 Bob Harrison Street are associated with African American businesswoman and cosmetologist Ethel McDonald Jackson, who ran a successful home-based business from 1944 to 1974 and whose family served their community as civic leaders throughout the twentieth century. According to Ms. Belinda Davis, daughter of Elmer and Ethel McDonald Jackson, her mother’s ambitious spirit was sparked as soon as she finished high school in Bastrop, Texas. “My Mama often spoke of why she did not attend a four-year college after high school,” writes Davis. “As a child of The Great Depression, she wanted to enter the workforce as soon as possible to assist her family.” Ethel McDonald finished beauty college and immediately became both an instructor at the school and a working hairdresser at the Triple Mirror Beauty Shop at 605 San Jacinto. Davis describes her mother’s rise to entrepreneurship after she purchased the property at 1206 E. 13th Street: “The …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS MARCH 6, 2024 DA-2024-001855; GF-2024-018655 503 WALSH STREET 22 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1894 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-and-a-half-story cross-gabled house with partial width porch, traditional cornice returns at gable ends, 2:2 wood windows, and stucco cladding. The house at 503 Walsh Street, originally addressed as 503 Blanco Street, was constructed around 1894. Its first residents were Frank and Emma Casper and their daughter, Byrdie. Dr. Frank Casper worked as a dentist, with office space on Congress Avenue and Colorado Street. Frank Casper claimed to be the heir to Abel Casper, whose Mississippi plantation was requisitioned by the Union Army during the Civil War; Dr. Casper attempted to solicit restitution money from the federal government forty years later, though it did not appear that he was successful. After Casper’s death around 1916, the house passed to his widow, Emma. Its primary tenants were James A. Warren and his family. James Warren was the bookkeeper and cashier for the City’s Street and Public Improvement division, and served a brief stint as City Clerk. During the 1920s, the house became a rental property, home to several short-term occupants.

ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story L-plan Folk Victorian with 2:2 windows, horizontal siding, a partial-width shed-roofed porch, and traditional cornice returns at gable ends. The house at 505 Walsh Street, originally addressed as 505 Blanco Street, was built as a rental property around 1903. Like many similar rentals in the area, its occupants often included train operators who worked at the nearby railyards and workers at the nearby power plant. Longer-term occupants included William and Willie Jenkins and their extended family, who lived in the home from 1912 to around 1920 and who worked primarily at the railyards and telephone company; as well as Clyde and Ruth Ward, who lived there with their son from the mid-1930s to the mid-1940s. Clyde Ward worked as a carpenter. 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 does not meet two criteria for landmark designation: a. Architecture. The building is a good example of Folk Victorian architecture. 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 was not evaluated for its ability to convey 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.

ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story pyramidal hipped-roof National Folk house with horizontal siding, replacement windows at the front elevation and 2:2 wood windows at the secondary elevation, dual covered entries, and a seamed metal roof. The house at 507 Walsh Street, originally addressed as 507 Blanco Street, was built around 1903. Like many similar rentals in the area, its occupants often included train operators who worked at the nearby railyards and workers at the nearby telephone company. Its first owners were Frank Vasquez, a train conductor, and his three daughters, who also rented part of the house to fellow conductor Albert Escamilla and his mother, Sarah Escamilla. From 1914 to around 1920, the house was owned and occupied by Frances and Emil Wilke, who also had three daughters; Emil Wilke worked as a carpenter and all three Wilke daughters worked at the Southwestern Telephone and Telegraph Company. They sold the home to Edward Sponberg, a postal clerk, and his wife, Hattie. Other short-term occupants included more railway workers, drivers, and salesmen. By the late 1940s, Benjamin and Ada Stramler had purchased the home. Stramler first worked for the railroad, then the E. M. Scarbrough Company, then the City maintenance shop until his death in the early 1950s. PROPERTY EVALUATION Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate integrity.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS MARCH 6, 2024 DA-2024-001855; GF-2024-014695 1135-1143 WEST SIXTH STREET 25 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Demolish a ca. 1949 office building and attached warehouse. The front of the building, divided into offices, has lost integrity over the years and is now a two-story Postmodern structure. The rear of the building is a one-story masonry warehouse with horizontally oriented windows and large bay doors. The buildings at 1135-1143 West Sixth Street were built sometime after World War II, most likely 1949 based on archival research. It appears that the rear warehouse building originally served as a Post Office mechanic’s office and ironworks, while the front building contained offices. Other tenants included Radiant Glassheat of Austin and the warehouse for Austin Hardware Company. While the front building has lost integrity after a 1980s remodel, the rear building appears to retain some integrity as a postwar warehouse. PROPERTY EVALUATION Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The warehouse building appears to retain moderate integrity. Windows have been replaced. The office building at the front of the property retains low 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 for landmark designation: a. Architecture. The rear portion of the building is a typical postwar warehouse building. 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.

3 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS MARCH 6, 2024 HR-2023-132220 ROGERS-WASHINGTON-HOLY CROSS HISTORIC DISTRICT 2506 GIVENS AVENUE PROPOSAL Remodel and construct an addition to a contributing house. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Convert the carport into a living space, bringing the inset porch wall flush with the front wall of the house and removing the existing porch and carport supports. 2) Demolish covered porch and patio and construct a new deck and patio. 3) Remove the bay windows. Replace windows throughout, changing openings at the façade. 4) Replace roof in-kind. 5) Replace existing vinyl siding with fiber-cement siding, remaining a portion of the stone wainscoting. ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STANDARDS One-story Ranch house with horizontal vinyl siding, an inset porch and integral carport, aluminum windows, and a stone veneer water table. The Rogers-Washington-Holy Cross Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1. PROTECTED FAÇADES. Protected facades are defined as the front façade, front 50% of the side facades, and front 75% of the corner side yard façade, as illustrated below. Non-protected facades are the remaining facades of the building. 1.1 Retain and preserve protected facades. 1.2 Do not change the character, appearance, configuration, or materials of protected façades, except to restore buildings to their original appearance. 1.3 Do not add conjectural architectural features (e.g., do not add a front porch to a house that never had one). 1.4 Work to non-protected facades must be appropriate. However, the guidelines recognize that change will occur and that alterations and additions may be required on these non-protected facades. The proposed project alters the character, appearance, configuration, and materials of protected façades. Work on non- protected façades appears mostly appropriate. 4.1 EXTERIOR WALLS 4.1.1 Retain original exterior materials, including siding and trim. Wood and historic masonry and features such as texture, tooling, bonding patterns, and joint treatment are protected and must be retained. 4.1.2 Repair rather than replace original exterior materials. 4.1.3 When replacement of historic original exterior material is necessary due to severe deterioration or damage, the replacement shall match the historic element in appearance, dimension, form, color, reflectivity, finish, and texture. 4.1.4 Do not apply aluminum, vinyl, or other synthetic siding as a replacement for a primary building material. Artificial siding materials have been documented to cause serious, costly, and often irreparable damage to underlying materials and structural …
4 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS MARCH 6, 2024 HR-2023-059471 ROBERTSON/STUART & MAIR HISTORIC DISTRICT 804 WALLER STREET PROPOSAL Construct an addition. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STANDARDS 1) Remove rear porch. Remove and relocate existing windows at the rear of the house. 2) Construct a two-story addition with a deck on the north side of the existing building. The addition is clad in horizontal wood siding with a metal roof to match the existing house. The addition is constructed at the rear of the building, with the two-story portion connected with a one-story hyphen. The proposed roofline is cross-gabled, and the proposed fenestration includes fixed undivided windows at regular intervals. One-story cottage with a side-gabled roof and gabled covered porch, horizontal wood siding, and a metal roof. The Robertson/Stuart & Mair Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1.3. Additions to Contributing Buildings New additions should be compatible with the historic building by reflecting the scale, massing, and/or materials of the historic building, but differentiated enough so that they are not confused as historic or original to the building. The proposed addition appears appropriately designed and differentiated. It reflects the massing and materials of the historic building but is set apart by modern fenestration and a one-story hyphen. If designing an addition in a contemporary style, reflect the scale, massing, and/or materials of the historic building; if designing an addition in a style that reflects the style of the historic building, differentiate the scale, massing, and/or materials, at least slightly. The proposed addition is appropriately differentiated. Design new additions that are subordinate to and do not overpower the historic building. The proposed addition appears subordinate; though it is two stories, its substantial setback reduces its visual impact. Construct additions that avoid the removal or obstruction of any historic exterior features on the front of the building or the sides within 15 feet of the front. Set back a new ground-level addition a minimum of 15 feet measured from the front wall of the building (excluding the porch). The proposed addition is appropriately set back and does not remove or obscure historic elements on the front or sides of the building. Summary The project meets the applicable standards. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the application. LOCATION MAP 4 – 2

The proposed project retains some historic features at the front of the building, but changes its scale. 1.3: Avoidance of False Historicism Respect each contributing structure as an example of the architecture of its time. Do not make alterations that have no historic basis, such as the addition of gingerbread trim to a 1920s bungalow. Do not give an existing contributing structure a “historic” appearance it never had. The proposed addition and garage include details that make differentiation of new from historic materials challenging, such as exposed rafter tails and triangular eave brackets. It extends the roofline and replaces the existing bracket in the new location. It extends the chimney to a height it did not originally require. 1.4: Appropriate Treatment Options for Contributing or Potentially Contributing Structures 1. Preserve the historic fabric: Repair deteriorated historic features and architectural elements. 2. Reconstruct missing or un-repairable architectural features with the following: a) Recycled historic materials that approximate the size and match the scale, profile, and appearance of the deteriorated or missing feature, if available. b) New material that that approximates the size and matches the scale, profile, and appearance of the historic material.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve paint only for previously painted surfaces, encouraging the applicant to conduct a historic paint analysis to determine the original paint color, and to explore the feasibility of restoring any original unpainted masonry rather than repainting it. Deny the request to paint bare limestone detailing. LOCATION MAP 8 – 2 Photos 8 – 3 Google Street View, 2022 8 – 4 8 – 5 Historic landmark inspection photos, 2024

9 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS MARCH 6, 2024 HR-2024-005147 SIXTH STREET NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 603 RED RIVER STREET PROPOSAL Remodel a ca. 1889-1900 building from a bar to a restaurant. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Repair and repaint the existing brick façade. 2) Remove non-historic accretions and connections at secondary elevations. Add a new shade structure and plantings at the north elevation. 3) Add brick detail on the west façade. 4) Retain the existing openings and replace the storefront. Reopen infilled openings at secondary elevations. 5) Replace awning. One-story masonry garage building with two bay doors, a metal awning with enlarged brackets, simple cornice detailing, and infilled arched openings at secondary elevations. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH The building at 603 Red River Street, alternately addressed as 601 and 605 Red River Street, was most likely first constructed as a one-bay frame structure with a stovepipe visible on 1889 Sanborn maps. By 1900, the building was reclad, and a masonry addition had been built to add the second (northernmost) bay. It appears to have been built and used as a blacksmith shop until 1920, when it was converted to an auto service station; by 1935 an addition had been constructed. A motorcycle and automobile repair shop shared the building until 1927, when both halves were occupied by Raven’s Garage. Raven’s stayed in business until at least 1959. Jesse L. Raven, a World War I veteran who enlisted at eighteen, opened the shop upon his return from the war. Raven was also an officer of the American Legion and executive officer of the Texas State Rifle Association; he remained a nationally recognized top marksman for much of the early twentieth century. According to a 2015 staff report by Historic Preservation Officer Steve Sadowsky for the Raven family home in Travis Heights (which was later demolished, despite the staff recommendation for landmark designation), the Raven’s Garage legacy continued after its days as a functional garage ended: Jesse Raven, along with his brother, Louis, grew up in Austin and were auto mechanics from a very early age. They opened Raven’s Garage at 605 Red River Street in the early 1920s and were in business at that location until around 1980. The building on Red River Street was then a live music club called Raven’s Garage for a couple of years in the 1980s, and later became Emo’s, the stalwart of …

March 05, 2024 Re: 4601 Chiappero Trail renovations David and Emily Tucker: Thank you for recently sharing your latest remodel/renovation plans for our old family home at 4601 Chiappero Trail in Austin that you purchased from us a couple of years ago. We can see that you have again invested considerable time, energy, and passion into your plans to modernize the home to accommodate your family's needs, while paying tribute to our father's original 1960 Mid Century Modern design. We especially are in favor of keeping the front elevation mostly true to the original design. Our preferences would be to retain all the original ledgestone and redwood siding on those portions of the house visible from the curb. As discussed, my father's original intention was to leave the redwood untreated and allow it to naturally weather to a gray color. Unfortunately the original builders errantly applied a "redwood" stain to the redwood. The effects of the stain can be mitigated by following recommendations from the California Redwood Association (attached). We are in favor of your plans to retain the ledgestone planter and chimney, as well as to retain the ledgestone on the interior walls (entry/dining and the hearth wall). And we would also be in favor of retaining the original jalousie windows on the living room wall facing the street, acknowledging that they are not energy efficient. In regards to the spiral staircase on the front of the house, our parents added it as a cosmetic feature in the mid-1990s, so it is neither part of the original design nor MCM. Repurposing the staircase to the backyard studio concept or elsewhere would be appropriate in our opinion. Best regards - Robin Willhoite. cell (936) 462-34
