ARCHITECTURE 2307 Windsor Road #2 is a two-story Mid-century Modern house with a flat roof, rustic stone and board-and-batten cladding, expansive fixed windows, a substantial stone chimney, and an inset carport at the one-story portion of the house. The building is set back between Windsor and East Windsor Roads, accessible only by a steeply sloped drive behind two street-frontage houses and invisible from both Windsor and East Windsor. Its stepped-down form nestles into the hillside with a two-story bank of windows facing downtown. RESEARCH The house at 2307 Windsor Road #2, originally addressed as 2300 East Windsor Road, was constructed in 1950 for Judge Trueman O’Quinn and his family. O’Quinn, an attorney, graduated from the University of Texas after reporting and editing for the Beaumont Enterprise, the Austin American, and the Daily Texan.1 While still a student, he was elected to the 42nd Texas Legislature for Jefferson County from 1931 to 1932. After a few years in private practice, O’Quinn worked as an Austin assistant city attorney and was appointed chief City Attorney in 1939, a position he held until 1950. During World War II, he worked as Staff Judge Advocate after the Allied invasion of Normandy and occupation of Germany.2 The Windsor Road house was constructed the same year O’Quinn left the City for private practice. Throughout the 1960s and ‘70s, he held numerous public and political posts, including fourteen years as Travis County’s Democratic Chairman and as the official counsel for the University of Texas. He was appointed to the Third Court of Civil Appeals in 1967 and served for thirteen years.3 O’Quinn was best known for his role as a prolific collector and prominent amateur historian of William Sydney Porter, known as O. Henry. “For almost half a century he gathered first editions, photos, manuscripts, and other memorabilia. He donated the staggering collection to The O. Henry Resources at the Austin History Center in 1982, a contribution without parallel,” notes Britney Jeffrey in the Texas State Historical Association’s Handbook of Texas. “Throughout his adult life, O'Quinn wrote articles and delivered speeches.”4 He was instrumental in saving two O. Henry residences from demolition, though one burned in 1956.5 The other remains as the O. …

ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Mid-century Modern house with Spanish Eclectic stylistic influences. The property at 2102 Four Oaks Lane was designed and constructed by developer Jack Browning for the 1969 Parade of Homes, hosted by the Austin Homebuilders’ association in the growing Barton Hills neighborhood. “It is a home especially designed for a specific site,” states Browning in a 1969 article celebrating the Parade’s success at securing a buyer for the house, named “Bluffview.” The new homeowner, Jack Magners, worked as an aeronautical engineer for Tracor and had relocated to Austin with his family two years prior. 1 Bluffview was heavily marketed as a showpiece and included interior design elements and furniture promoted by local firms and retail showrooms. In her National Register nomination for a Northwest Hills model home, Karen Twer discusses the importance of the Parade of Homes in Austin’s development history: By building model houses for events like the Parade of Homes, builders and developers could highlight the attractive and livable qualities of their volume-built houses and market new suburban developments to masses of potential homebuyers. As a kind of conceptual show window, their model houses needed to be centrally located…Not bounded by the existing urban landscape, developers could create the kind of neighborhoods second-time middle-class homebuyers were seeking. By hosting Parade of Homes events in outlying areas of growing cities, developers and builders were influential in shaping the suburban development of expanding cities like Austin. […] Builders and developers relied on architects to design the kind of distinctive houses that would rival custom-built houses…Model houses built for the Parade of Homes were collaborative interpretations of the kind of modern domestic lifestyle homebuyers dreamt of…In the 1960s, [Austin’s] Parade of Homes events continued focusing on largely undeveloped areas south and northwest of the city […].

ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story cross-gabled house with brick and stone cladding, metal picture and casement windows, double front gables with shallow eaves, and built-in planter. The house at 1401 Elton Lane was built in 1951. Its first occupants were D. E. Farr and his family; however, the Farrs only lived in the house until 1953. They sold the house to longer-term occupants Alvin and Lora Burger. Alvin Burger moved his family from New Jersey to Texas to take a position as the first executive director of the Texas Research League, a nonprofit successor to the Texas Economy Commission whose goal was to provide research and recommendations on economic, organizational, and policy structures to public administrative agencies. During his tenure as executive director, Burger and the Research League won several high-profile awards for their work with Texas government. Burger also served as president of the board of directors of Child and Family Services and the United Fund. After his retirement in 1970, Burger dedicated himself to advocating for the rights of elderly Texans as chairman of the Governor’s Committee on Aging, chairman of the delegation to the White House Conference on Aging in 1971, and chairman of the Adult Services Council of Austin and Travis County in 1974.

As queer as you want to be. This historical marker commemorates the contributions, struggles, and successes of Austin's LGBTQIA+ community, whose once -denigrated members have always spanned all genders, races, classes, creeds, generations, and origins. In earlier times, people lost their jobs, social standing, and sometimes even their lives for being sex- or gender-variant. Outside of the isolation of private homes, downtown bars and nightclubs offered secret, safe havens for LGBTQIA+ people to gather. Social justice movements in the 1960s advancing the struggles for justice, acceptance, equality, and freedom for women and racial minorities gave rise to a national gay and lesbian rights movement. Austin was quick to respond. A local chapter of the Gay Liberation Front was founded in 1970, with the first National Gay Liberation Conference hosted here in 1971. A vibrant culture evolved with restaurants, bars, retail shops, bookstores, theaters, churches and a wide variety of professionals and service providers. In the 1980s, a nightlife scene developed in the old warehouse district around 4th Street and Colorado. Clubs with drag shows, entertainment, and dances provided opportunities for gathering and community building. During the AIDS crisis of the 80s and 90s, the clubs offered occasions for sex education, counseling, and fundraising—and solace. In the 21st century, as the movement evolved to recognize all Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, and other segments of the community, these blocks of bars and coffee shops became integrated with the rest of downtown—much like the assimilation of queer representation into mainstream culture. With many of the political and social dreams of the leaders of past decades realized, Austin remains a vibrant place for all communities to call home.

PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Two-story, square-plan duplex with horizontal wood siding, screened 1:1 and 6:6 wood windows, and a hipped roof. The duplex at 3205 Tom Green Street was built as a rental property in 1937. Its proximity to the University of Texas and to State offices made it an attractive home for students, State officials, and bookkeepers. Several insurance industry employees also lived in the house. Most tenants were short-term, and most were either single or lived only with one other person or spouse. This type of building was typical in Austin’s early years, as new and part-time residents moved into the area and sought smaller apartments and duplexes. PROPERTY EVALUATION The North Central Austin survey lists the property as contributing to a potential historic district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352).

ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story house with side-gabled roof intersected by a gablet above the front stoop, horizontal wood siding, a stone veneer water table, and 1:1 wood windows. The house at 2407 S. 3rd Street was constructed in 1955. Julian Herrera, a plumber, and his wife, Ygnacia, owned the home; it was also occupied by Ygnacia’s father, Porfirio Liscano III. Liscano, who lived to 111 years old, was Austin’s oldest living cowboy at the time of his death in 1971. Liscano came to the U.S. with a remuda of broncos in 1912, and stayed to find work. Until he was 83, Liscano picked cotton for a Bluff Springs farm. Nanci Felice interviewed the former caballero before his 111th birthday: “‘I didn’t serve anybody in Mexico,’ Liscano said with the haughty pride reserved for former caballeros. ‘But when I came here I found out what it was to work for someone.’ […] Once, in 1937, he returned to Mexico, but revolution had brought hard times to his country so he returned to the United States.’”1 Liscano became a citizen in 1938, living with his daughter and son-in-law after the death of his wife, Cecilia, in 1967.

One-story Mid-Century Modern house with irregular plan, clad in vertical wood siding and rustic stone. Its deep overhanging eaves shelter inset porches and exterior walkways, and a large stucco chimney dominates the rear elevation. Fixed floor-to-ceiling windows adorn much of the building’s exterior. The house at 5304 Western Hills Drive was built in 1962 for attorney Charles Alan Wright, along with his wife and five children. Wright, a University of Texas law professor, was an internationally recognized expert on constitutional law. He argued 13 cases before the United States Supreme Court and was “a quintessential friend” to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.1 As documented in Carl Tobias’ retrospective on Wright’s famous 54-volume Federal Practice and Procedure, Ginsburg remembered Wright as a "Colossus [who] stands at the summit of our profession,” declaring that “all who practice the lawyer's craft profit from his prodigious production” and that Wright’s treatise is “by far the most-cited treatise in the United States Reports [and] the procedural Bible for federal judges and all those who practice in our federal courts.”2 Wright became a household name for many Texans when he served as legal defense for President Richard Nixon during the Watergate scandal. His New York Times obituary describes Wright’s role: “As a special legal consultant to Mr. Nixon in the summer of 1973, he argued unsuccessfully that the constitutional separation of powers between the executive and judicial branches protected the president from turning over White House tape recordings... Eventually, the tapes helped prove the extent of the conspiracy to obstruct justice.”3 However, in a memorial published by Geoffrey Hazard in the Texas Law Review, “the media focus on that engagement pained him, not only because it disregarded his other accomplishments as an advocate but also because of the implication that it was anomalous for an honorable lawyer to defend a person accused of dishonorable conduct. Charlie regarded such an engagement as merely a highly visible instance of constitutional procedure and professional practice.”4 Wright served as president of the American Law Institute and as a member of the Judicial Conference of the United States. In 1955, he founded the University of Texas Legal Eagles, an intramural football team, and coached them …

City of Austin Historic Landmark Commission DRAFT Seconded By: Witt Featherston Subject: Recommendations on Environmental Sustainability, Council Resolution Date: April 3, 2024 Motioned By: JuanRaymon Rubio Dear Joint Sustainability Committee, Mayor, and Council Members, In response to Councilmember Ryan Alter’s resolution on an Environmental Investment Plan, the Historic Landmark Commission recommends the City Manager consider the role of historic preservation in helping the City reach its climate goals. The current draft of the new Equity-Based includes the following recommendations that support environmental Preservation Plan sustainability: • Recognize the significant external costs associated with demolition by adopting policies and practices that incentivize alternatives: Increase review fees to offset reduced or eliminated fees for historic preservation efforts. • Make it easier to relocate buildings within Austin: Following a Council resolution in fall 2023, work with other City departments and stakeholders to explore how to facilitate local relocation when preserving a building in place is not feasible. • Encourage property owners to retain older buildings by allowing approved demolition permits to be converted to relocation permits: Support retention of older buildings and encourage sustainability by streamlining the process to change approved demolition permits to relocation permits. Allow previously paid demolition permit application fees and approved processes to be applied to remodel or relocation permit applications for owners who decide to retain an older building. • Encourage deconstruction and materials salvage when preservation in place and relocation are not feasible: In line with Austin’s goal of zero waste by 2040, explore and adopt policies, programs, and incentives that incentivize or require deconstruction and materials salvage in light of environmental and health impacts, the loss of cultural heritage, and increased landfill waste. Create a supply of historic-age quality building materials. We recommend city staff be directed to identify the impact of these recommendations, consider their inclusion in a future Environmental Investment Plan, and work with city departments to develop proposed ordinances and code changes. Thank you, Historic Landmark Commission

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.

6 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS MARCH 6, 2024 HR-2024-007660 HYDE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 4204 AVENUE H PROPOSAL Construct a second-floor addition. Replace the foundation and roof. Restore front windows. Construct a new garage. Construct a pool. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Construct a second-floor addition, clad in reused teardrop siding and new matching siding. 2) Replace the foundation with concrete footers. 3) Restore the front windows, replacing deteriorated wood elements in-kind. 4) Replace the metal roof with a new metal roof. 5) Construct a new rear garage. 6) Construct a new pool. 7) Add a screened patio to the rear and a covered porch to the front-side of the building. ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STANDARDS One-story Craftsman bungalow with covered entry, horizontal wood siding, 1:1 wood windows, and traditional Craftsman detailing. The Hyde Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1. General Standards 1.1: Prevention of Demolition Demolition of any contributing structure is strongly discouraged under all circumstances. The proposed project demolishes the rear of the building to construct a new addition. 1.2: Retention of Historic Style Respect the historic style of existing structures and retain their historic features, including character-defining elements and building scale. 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 chimney and replaces the existing bracket in the new location. 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 approximates the size and matches the scale, profile, and appearance of the historic material.

Construct a two-story accessory building. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Add a screened porch to the north side of the house. The proposed porch is one-story and capped with a shingled, side- gabled roof to match the existing roof. 2) Construct a new two-story studio in the backyard. The proposed accessory building is located at the rear side of the house, behind the driveway. It is clad in fiber cement horizontal siding and features a hipped roof and fixed undivided windows. ARCHITECTURE One-story Craftsman bungalow. DESIGN STANDARDS The Hyde Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1. General Standards 1.2: Retention of Historic Style Respect the historic style of existing structures and retain their historic features, including character-defining elements and building scale. The proposed project retains the historic style of the contributing building. 1.3: Avoidance of False Historicism The proposed project mostly avoids false historicism through the placement of the porch, though excluding exposed rafter tails would increase the differentiation between new and old materials. 4. Residential Standards: Additions to Contributing Single Family and Multi-Family Structures 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 addition removes minimal historic fabric and reflects the form and style of the existing house. 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 proposed porch is located at the side of the house. 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 the addition which match or are compatible with that of the existing house. The proposed project’s roof, fenestration, and materials are compatible. …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS APRIL 3, 2024 HR-2024-029019; C14H-2003-0015 SHELBY HOUSE 1114 WEST 9TH STREET 8 – 1 PROPOSAL Replace roof and gutters. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS ARCHITECTURE 1) Replace the existing composite shingle roof with standing-seam metal roofing in charcoal grey. 2) Replace the gutters. According to the landmark designation application, the building is a “Two-story irregular-plan pyramidal hipped-roof frame house with minimal Prairie Style influences. The house contains a two-story partial-width inset porch; the second story of the porch has been enclosed with windows. Fenestration on the main part of the house is 1:1 wood frame windows. The doorway features a 3-light transom and single-light sidelights. […] Although not a true Prairie-style house, the Shelby House contains the horizontal lines popularized by [Frank Lloyd] Wright. […] Built around 1910, the house was originally a one-story frame structure containing 5 rooms and appeared to be a typical middle-class house when it was first constructed. L.E. Shelby, a prominent local dry goods merchant, purchased the house in 1911, and made significant changes to it, including the construction of a second story, blasting through the limestone shelf below to create a basement, and adding a porte-cochere.”1 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 historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 1. General standards The proposed roof replacement does not remove historic material or change the historic roofline. 3. Roofs 3.5 Owners of landmark properties must replace roofs with material that approximates the appearance of the historic or existing roof material. d. Standing seam metal roofs, despite their historic look, are generally not acceptable for historic landmarks unless the owner can document that the building historically had a standing seam roof. Metal roof systems that replicate the historic roof material and have a historic appearance are acceptable. The proposed project replaces a shingle roof with a standing-seam metal roof. The original building likely would have been roofed with wood shakes or other shingle-form roofing, as metal roofing was generally restricted to carriage houses, stables, or other outbuildings in this area during the house’s period of significance. Summary The project mostly does not meet the applicable standards. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Postpone the public hearing to May 1, 2024, and invite the applicant to …

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct a new circular drive. 1) Remove the street-facing carport and replace it with a new, painted steel carport on the southeast side of the house. 2) Repaint the house with historically appropriate colors as seen in early photos. 3) Reclad the addition between the garage and the original house with painted vertical wood siding. 4) Construct a guesthouse and covered patio at the rear of the property. The proposed structure is clad with vertical wood siding and has painted steel fenestration. 5) Reconfigure the existing pool and add a new deck. ARCHITECTURE The 2003 landmark designation nomination describes the building as “a textbook example of the Tudor Revival style, with its false half-timbering, steeply pitched gable containing the round-arched doorway, stone facade, prominent chimney, and multi-light windows.”1 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 historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 1. General standards The proposed project does not appear to significantly affect historic material. 3. Roofs Proposed alterations to the existing additions’ rooflines appear appropriate. 4. Exterior walls and trim The proposed new cladding appears appropriate in style and material and is sufficiently differentiated from historic material. 8. Attached garages and carports The proposed project removes an inappropriate and non-historic attached carport. Residential new construction 1. Location The proposed guest house is appropriately located at the rear of the property. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed new structure is very small in scale and does not appear visible from the street. 4. Proportions The proposed detached bedroom’s proportions are mostly compatible. 5. Design and style The proposed building’s design and style are appropriately simple. 6. Roofs Though the proposed building’s steep roofline is dramatic, it complements the original building’s more complex Tudor 1 Zoning Change Review Sheet: C14H-03-0007.

Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Sam, We are writing to Object to the demolition of 2307 Windsor Road - Unit 2, GF 24-030562 . This contributing property was purchased and built by Truman Edgar O'quinn Sr. He was the city attorney, as well as the Travis County, Democratic Chairman and legal counsel for the University of Texas. He was appointed to the Third Court of Civil Appeals and is also known for his role in acquiring the land that later became Bergstrom Air Force Base. Mr. O'Quinn's life as an outstanding citizen of Austin is impressive, but even more important is that the home requesting demolition is an exquisite example of mid-century, modern architecture that deserves to be preserved and restored. Can you kindly confirm who the architect was for this home? O'QUINN, TRUEMAN EDGAR, SR. (1905–1990).Trueman O'Quinn, attorney, judge, and historian, was born in Leesville, Louisiana, on May 7, 1905, to Dallas Patrick and Florence Isabelle (O'Connor) O'Quinn. He was one of three children. In 1917 the family left Vernon Parish and moved to East Texas. As a child, O'Quinn was active in Boy Scouts and eventually became an Eagle Scout. He graduated from Beaumont High School in 1922 and enrolled at the University of Texas that same year. O'Quinn supported himself through college by teaching fencing and writing syndicated news stories. He also served as editor of the Daily Texan, 1927–1928.

Learn why this is important at External Email - Exercise Caution I will try to make meeting at 6, but I’ll have to walk…. I am concerned that y’all are tearing down this old asbestos-ridden house so you can put in - what? You’ve got a sinkhole in the back that levels out to join the gutter water that becomes Johnson Creek across the street on Meriden (this house is at the intersection of 9th/Meriden Ln). So that whole back area is affected in a weakened way by the much heavier rains that climate change dumps on us once or twice a year. Also, where the water runs to the creek across Meriden and near or about at the guard rail, there is BIG drop-off hole that didn’t used to be there… what if another rain is so heavy that Meriden Lane road sinks and breaks or that infrastructure placed near the weakened area behind 2200 fractures and drops down to the level of ground this hole leads to? I tried to take pictures of the hole by the guard rail on Meriden, but a stubborn patch of poison ivy has become profuse there. You have decades of drought and climate change and neglect by the previous owner who lived in Michigan, and the city of Austin, and NOW you want to stack housing up next to a serious environmental problem??? Please, this is not the answer. Who can you forward this to who can inspect and help end this nonsense? About a year ago I made a mental note not to drive down Meriden in the dark at or after heavy rain. That road might not be there, fair warning. Thanks.
