HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 6, 2024 HR-2024-106503 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 1106 TRAVIS HEIGHTS BOULEVARD 10.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a rear two-story addition and detached guest house. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Remodel interior of main one-story house, retaining the front half of the exterior intact. 2) Construct a two-story rear addition along with a roof deck. Two decks and a screened porch are also included. 3) Demolish existing garage and rebuild as a one-story guest house. 4) Construct an at-grade basement at the rear slope of the addition. ARCHITECTURE The house at 1106 Travis Height Boulevard is a one-story symmetrical bungalow of modest size. The concrete front porch is set above the already elevated plot of land that slopes down significantly towards the street and sidewalk. A projecting front gable covers the middle third of the porch and is supported by decorated wood posts resting on two concrete bases. The decoration at these posts matches the wood handrail that is present around the remainder of the porch. Two pairs of windows, one on each side of the front door, are present and are covered with what appear to be original screens over windows. Behind the projection over the porch is a side gabled roof featuring a brick chimney at one side, along with an obscured front gable facing the street and featuring an attic vent. All architectural features at the front of the house appear to be original or highly appropriate replacements. RESEARCH Beginning with its construction sometime prior to 1920, the property had frequent turnover of owners and renters until the late 1940s. This included a second address, 1106½ Travis Heights Boulevard, on the property, which housed various tradespeople during the Great Depression. In 1949, the property was purchased by Jesse & Emma Raven, who were owners and operators of Raven’s Garage, a local auto repair business. They held the property for several decades, until the mid- 1980s, at which point they were retired. The secondary unit was lost or converted at some point during the Raven’s ownership. 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 main …

1106 Travis Heights Blvd. Historic Landmark Commission/ARC 25 October, 2024 TO: RE: We are submitting revised drawings and combination photographs/models per the comments discussed at the Architectural Review Committee. The Committee members recommended that the small, square Primary Bath window be re- shaped or removed because it conflicted with the proportions of the existing house windows on the front (east) side. We removed it completely from the front (east) facade and relocated it to the south wall. They also recommended that we simplify the exterior roof stair so that it served as more of a background to the existing front facade. To simplify it we changed it from a metal railing with individual pickets to a nearly solid mesh as shown in the attached drawings and photos. Thank you.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 6, 2204 SB-2024-086522 / SB-2024-086516 CONGRESS AVENUE HISTORIC DISTRICT 312 ½ CONGRESS AVENUE 11.0 & 12.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Install several types of signage on a contributing building. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Install signage on the Congress Avenue-facing elevation of a two-story commercial building that contributes to the district. The signage types and locations are the following: 1) Cabinet sign above the ground floor and between medallions, installed into masonry. Non-illuminated. 2) Blade sign at ground level, installed at transom height and projecting out towards Congress Avenue. Non-illuminated. 3) Vinyl signage attached to all second-floor windows, fit around muntins. 4) Vinyl signage attached to storefront and transom window on one bay of ground-floor. ARCHITECTURE The Downtown Austin historic resource survey calls the building at 310-312 Congress Avenue an Italianate commercial structure and part of a two-part commercial block. The design is simple and straightforward, with façade split into three bays. The middle bay serves as a recessed entry with large, glazed storefront windows on either side. Above, the second- floor features three large 4/4 windows that appear to be operable and likely either original or based heavily on an original design. The cornice line features modest dentils and brick patterns that very slightly project from the rest of the façade below. Between the two floors, metal medallions in the shape of lion’s heads are present that may have previously anchored an awning or sidewalk covering. DESIGN STANDARDS The City of Austin Signage Guidelines are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Number of Signs: The Commission allows one sign per building, unless the building has multiple tenants; in this case, the Commission may allow one sign per façade module, if the façade modules correspond to tenant spaces. The Commission may also allow one sign for each street frontage if the building is at an intersection. A single directory sign is appropriate for a large building with multiple tenants. The Commission and HPO allow one sign per building unless there are multiple tenants. The two-story design of this building implies a two tenant, upstairs/downstairs type of use, so more than one sign may be approvable. However, all signage proposed is for one tenant. While two of the signage types are vinyl and attached to the windows, the cabinet and blade signs are proposed to …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 6, 2024 DA-2024-089522 WEST DOWNTOWN AUSTIN HISTORIC DISTRICT 810 WEST 11TH STREET 13.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a contributing property. ARCHITECTURE A wide, double-pitch side-gabled roof dominates the front façade of the house. A dormer vent is present at the center located above and behind a small gable overhang above the front door, which features a modest pair of brackets on either side of it. There are windows on either side of the brackets, and, while similar in size and material, do not match and provide a small amount of asymmetry to the elevation. The windows have been replaced with newer units and feature nonfunctional shutters. There is a concrete porch held two steps above ground in front of the door, with a simple metal handrail all around. The foundation is pier-on-beam, with a vented crawlspace underneath the floor. The house is almost entirely clad in buff brick in good condition, except for the side dormers, which are clad in wood lap siding with vents also present. RESEARCH The house at 810 West 11th Street was built in the early-to-mid 1930s, and the long-term owners for over 20 years were Joseph & Ida Kasper. The former was a furrier and owned a business at 109 East 9th Street in downtown Austin. While living at the address, they housed their children while they studied at the University of Texas. The son, Albert, was a dentistry student who left school to serve in World War II and finished his degree upon his return, graduating in 1945. Their daughter, Beatrice, graduated from university and became a teacher at Baker Junior High School in Hyde Park. She married Stewart Barnett in 1947 and they lived together in the house before moving out sometime after 1949. In 1987, the residence was converted to office use, and has continued in this function to present day. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the West Downtown 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 does not meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building is a good example of an intact minimal traditional bungalow in the district. b. Historical association. The property does …

From: To: Subject: Date: Attachments: Historic Preservation Office GF 24-104022 Demo Permit for 810 W 11th St ATTN Sam Fahnestock Tuesday, September 3, 2024 10:44:36 AM 810 demo objection.pdf You don't often get email from . Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution I am opposed to the demolition permit. Unfortunately I will be out of the country for the meeting this evening and not able to address the commission. This block of 11th St has been devastated by incremental rulings from the Historic Landmark Commission, Planning and Zoning and ultimately at the council level. We have lost one structure that was identified as contributing to a potential district. Then the property was up-zoned to 60 ft, and it appears that it is now at 90, as is the failed project across the street - Shoal Cycle. Each one uses the previous case as precedent, so soon there will be nothing left on the block. Each time a decision was made everyone said well at least we will get residential. However, there have never been any stipulations on whether that residential would be affordable or even appropriate. There were no stipulations on the demolition. There was no salvaging of perfectly good building materials, no serious attempt ot relocate the wood structure to provide a home for someone who can't afford our astronomically home prices. I urge you to think creatively about how additional housing could be put on this lot, keeping the historic structure. I urge you not to sacrifice another historic neighborhood one lot at a time, without any kind of guide as to where you will eventually end up going. Respectfully, -- Donna D.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 6, 2024 HR-2024-130564; PR-2024-132513 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 3000 BRYKER DRIVE 15.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a single-family residence on a non-contributing property. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construction of a two-story, single-family house on a lot previously occupied by a non-contributing resource to the Old West Austin National Register district. House is proposed to be set on a concrete slab and clad in Austin Common brick. Second floor will feature dormer windows and a steep-pitch roof, with design elements in keeping with the surrounding neighborhood. RESEARCH Shortly after construction, during the 1940s and 1950s, the property at 3000 Bryker Drive saw several successive owners for a few years each. The most notable of these was the family of Frank & Gretchen Cox, who moved to Austin from Iowa to serve as pastor at the Evangelist Church of Christ. During the 1940s, city directory records indicate several children living with them at various times, all of them listed as students. Marriage notifications for three daughters were printed during these years. The 1950s saw the ownership change hands four times, with each household owning the property for less than three years each. 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 house is set back to the distances required by city code. Due to the lot shape and curved street, the front of the house is unable to be in continuous line with neighboring contributing properties, but the setback matches and does not negatively stand out. 2. Orientation The house faces towards the street and fits well even with the street curving at the front of the property. 3. Scale, massing, and height Standard 3.2 calls for the massing of new buildings to match nearby contributing buildings. The proposed design matches both size and scale of the district, but the massing is also compatible in form with its neighbors. Floor-to-floor heights are also similar to historic neighbors. 4.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 6, 2024 HR-2024-133706; PR-2024-134463 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1505 TRAVIS HEIGHTS BOULEVARD 16.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a second-floor addition. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Build a second story addition within the current building footprint behind the front gable. The roof assembly for this addition would be a cross gable with ends at the sides of the house to reduce street visibility. The addition, totaling 784 square feet, would be clad in a standing seam metal roofing material that matches what is currently present and likely not original. Overall height of the house would increase slightly, with the highest point of the cross gable located more than halfway behind the front elevation. Original porch and windows are to be retained. A previous application was made at this property and reviewed by HLC in 2021, though work was never started. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS One-story Craftsman bungalow with gabled roof, horizontal wood siding, mulled 1/1 wood windows, and a full-width porch supported by boxed columns on brick piers. Intact decorative details include deep eaves with exposed rafter tails and triangular knee braces at gable ends. The house at 1505 Travis Heights Boulevard was built for Fred and Julia C. Penick before 1924. Fred Penick was a bank teller, cashier, and clerk at the American National Bank for most of his career. Julia Penick, active in various community- building and youth enrichment programs, ran a summer camp with her older children. Fred Penick had previously been employed as a camp employee at Yosemite National Park. 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 Addition is located towards the rear of the current house, though the new roof is proposed to start projecting 10 feet back from the front. Due to the roof pitch, the area under this section of roof will not be conditioned space, which is proposed to start approximately 22 feet from the front of the house. 2. Scale, massing, and height By sloping the roof up and away from the front of the house, a second-floor addition appears much more compatible than it may otherwise, and what was initially proposed in previous permit applications for …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 6, 2024 HR-2024-135867 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1508 WESTOVER ROAD 17.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a carport and construct a second unit in its place. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish a contributing carport, measuring approximately 200 square feet of enclosed space with overhang. 2) Construct a two-story second residential unit within side and rear setbacks, in an L shape to fit around existing pool. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS The main house on the property is an asymmetric Colonial Revival residence with large, mulled windows that dominate the front elevation. The roof is set at a moderate pitch and is side gabled in form. The front door is to one side and features a covered entryway, which is framed by two ornamented square posts. At one side of the house is an enclosed porch, which faces a side driveway that leads to the rear carport. The carport has about 200 square feet of enclosed space located behind covered parking for two cars, with the structure supported by plain wood posts. Built in 1931, the house at 1508 Westover Road was notably owned by Don & Muriel Phillips. Don Phillips worked at, and later became president of, the Nixon-Clay Commercial College, a secretarial school located on West 8th Street, across from the courthouse. The couple’s house was noted for hosting social events, and in 1956 Don was elected president of the Texas Amateur Softball Association. The two lived in the house until Don’s death in 1976, at which point it was sold. 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 Construction of the proposed second residential unit is located at the rear of the property and minimally visible from the street. 2. Orientation New construction is L-shaped to fit around the existing pool and to fit within setbacks but is generally oriented towards the front of the property. The front entry faces this direction, and the second floor features a large window with decorative shutters. 3. Scale, massing, and height The height of the new unit appears to be similar height or slightly shorter than the main house, though this may be lowered by setting …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 6, 2024 PR-2024-124120; GF-2024-138554 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1600 PALMA PLAZA 18.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a rear and side addition. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Increase the footprint of the house by constructing additions at the rear corner and sides of the existing. The extended footprint will mostly be located to the north and west elevations, which corresponds to the rear left corner when viewing the house from the front. A small projection is also proposed at the east elevation, which is directly visible from the W. Lynn Street right of way. The roof will remain hipped in form but will become more complex to accommodate the additional corners in the building footprint. New windows are proposed at the additions, and all other existing windows are proposed to be replaced. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS This one-story bungalow features a modest front porch supported by two brick piers topped with tapered, stucco-clad posts. The exterior is clad on all sides with multi-toned brick in a running bond. The gable end above the front porch is clad in horizontal wood siding and contains an attic vent. Over the main house, the roof becomes hipped in form and set at a moderate pitch, clad in asphalt shingle. At its base, the house is slightly elevated on pier-and-beam foundation. The property at 1600 Palma Plaza was occupied by the Carrington family for two decades upon construction. Joe Carrington was an underwriter for auto insurance in various roles. He and his wife Ethel raised a family at the address, who occasionally appeared in directory listings as living at the house into their young adulthood and attending school or working. The house was put up for sale in 1951 and was purchased by Milton & Mary Haberman. 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 Most of the addition is located at the rear and side of the current house. However, there is a small projection that is proposed at the east side, which directly faces a public right-of-way. The larger addition will be minimally visible from the street. 2. Scale, massing, and height The addition is deferential to the original …

28 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS NOVEMBER 6, 2024 PR-2024-043035; GF-2024-058054 1702 EAST MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. BOULEVARD PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1916 house and 1942 rear house. ARCHITECTURE One-story National Folk house with pyramidal hipped roof, board-and-batten siding, and inset partial-width porch supported by turned posts. Fenestration includes 1:1 and 4:1 wood windows; one of the original double entry doors has been converted to a window. Two decorative jigsawn brackets remain and two chimneys are present. The back house is a gabled, one-story building with horizontal wood siding and a partial width inset porch. RESEARCH The front house at 1702 East Martin Luther King was constructed around 1916 as a rental property. Its architectural detailing marks it as an example of National Folk houses rented to working-class East Austin families during the early years of the twentieth century by Edmund and Oscar Hofheinz. According to a 2019 Historic Preservation Office report, 11 known and 13 possible houses of this style and original use remain within the East Austin Historic Resource Survey area,1 though several have since been demolished. The East Austin Context Statement notes their impact on development patterns: The first two decades of the 1900s were rampant with development throughout East Austin…residential construction in these new developments reflected evolving trends in domestic designs, as the eclectic tastes of the Victorian era waned and simpler styles…became more widespread…new [working-class] house types began to replace more traditional forms. The linear, one‐ room‐deep plans that featured gabled roofs…gave way to deeper, more box‐like plans and often had hipped or pyramidal roofs with inset porches. The effect created a more vertical emphasis. The rental houses of brothers Edmund (“E. J.”) Hofheinz and Oscar (“O. G.”) Hofheinz exemplified this trend. E. J. Hofheinz (ca. 1870–1949) was a real estate dealer and accountant, while O.G. Hofheinz (ca. 1880–1957) was an insurance salesman and developer. Together, the brothers subdivided land and built houses in East Austin and Clarksville. Real estate transaction articles in the Austin American Statesman indicate that the Hofheinz brothers both speculatively sold the houses that they built and retained them for rental income.2 Though the Hofheinz brothers rented some of their properties to tenants of color, their purchase of smaller lots and homes made property ownership even more difficult for East Austin residents. Even if African American homebuyers could secure a loan large enough to purchase a lot—a …

June 5, 2024 City of Austin Historic Preservation Board To whom it may concern, I am writing to express my strong support for Aisha Gooden-Williams and her family in their request to demolish structures on their property. As a scholar of the African American experience, particularly in Austin, I believe that denying this family the right to manage their property as they see fit, including demolition, would be an affront to the liberties that African Americans have fought tirelessly to secure. The legacy of African Americans in this country is deeply intertwined with issues of property and ownership. Historically, Black people were reduced to property through race-based chattel enslavement, bought, sold, and disposed of at the whims of others. Today, denying a Black family the autonomy to decide the fate of their property echoes these past injustices. The properties in question hold significant historical value. They are not just buildings but symbols of resilience and progress. My grandfather’s sister, Mrs. Winifred Hill Gooden, labored as a domestic worker in the Hoffenhiez residence for decades. As a Black woman born in the early 20th century to tenant farmers in rural Travis and Caldwell Counties, domestic work was one of the few employment opportunities available to her. Through her hard work, she was able to acquire many homes that the Hoffenhiez family reserved for “Colored” renters in the former Negro District of East Austin. This acquisition was a defining moment for Black property ownership in the area, representing a significant step toward economic empowerment for working-class Black families. I recognize and appreciate the City of Austin’s efforts, particularly through the Equity Preservation Plan, to address historical racial injustices. Preserving the histories, experiences, and contributions of African Americans and other marginalized communities is vital. Through my work with Black Austin Tours, I strive to fill the gaps in public consciousness and support programmatic efforts to this end. However, historic preservation should not solely focus on “preserving” the past. It must also consider financial and generational wealth. Equitable historic preservation involves educating and directing resources to historically excluded communities, empowering them to make decisions about their properties. If the Gooden family chooses to demolish a property to benefit from community development, they should be able to do so without impediment. The City of Austin should support their efforts to continue their family’s legacy of property ownership and economic progress. Moreover, this situation presents a …

June 10, 2024 City of Austin Historic Preservation Office Housing & Planning Department P.O. Box 1088 Austin, TX 78767 To whom it may concern, I am writing to wholeheartedly endorse Mrs. Aisha Gooden-Williams and her family's impassioned appeal to safeguard the residential dwellings on their ancestral property. As a resident of Austin, born and raised, it is important to recognize the importance of preserving the rights that African Americans have worked tirelessly to achieve. It would be unjust if this family were denied the chance to exercise their property rights, including the freedom to demolish their property. Appreciating and respecting the rich historical legacy of the African American community that flourished in Central East Austin is crucial. In accordance with its 1928 plan, the City of Austin implemented measures that mandated Black residents to reside within a designated 6-square mile zone, thereby endorsing segregationist policies. This district served as the residence for Black residents, businesses, schools, and churches, and it played a crucial role in influencing the lively heritage and cultural contributions of Austin's African American community. In order to preserve the respected legacy, set forth by the Gooden family in accordance with the 1928 plan, it is of utmost importance that these properties remain undisturbed. This will greatly contribute to the preservation of the past and the development of the future of The District, encompassing the properties owned by the Gooden family. Furthermore, the Gooden properties in question possess significant historical significance. These structures are not merely physical buildings; they serve as powerful symbols of resilience and progress. Sincerely, Shameika N. Brown-Smith

[ ] Hi there, I know there is a hearing on these properties tonight. I could not figure out what the approving or dissenting was in regards to, but I do not approve of these 2 properties being historically preserved due to the condition of the buildings currently and no interest in upkeep from the owners. The buildings are rotting away and racoons and cats have taken ownership of the homes.

CASE NUMBER: PR-2024-021145; GF-2024-043942 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET HLC DATES: May 1, 2024; September 4, 2024; November 6, 2024 PC DATE: CC Date: APPLICANT: Drenner Group (owner-opposed) HISTORIC NAME: Running Rope Ranch WATERSHED: Shoal Creek ADDRESS OF PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE: 7304 Knox Lane ZONING CHANGE: SF-3 to SF-3-H COUNCIL DISTRICT: 10 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Do not recommend historic zoning (SF-3-H) for the main house if the applicant is able to relocate two historic-age outbuildings (cabin and tack barn) on-site and to protect the existing historic landscape features, including the spring-fed pool and Native American midden sites. Release the relocation permits upon receipt of a City of Austin Documentation Package for all structures and a plan for archaeological monitoring of the site as required by the Texas Historical Commission. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: May 1, 2024 – Postpone the public hearing. September 4, 2024 – initiate historic zoning. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: CASE MANAGER: Kalan Contreras, 512-974-2727 NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS: Austin Independent School District, Austin Lost and Found Pets, Austin Neighborhoods Council, Friends of Austin Neighborhoods, NW Austin Neighbors, Neighborhood Empowerment Foundation, Northwest Austin Civic Association, SELTexas, Sierra Club, Austin Regional Group, TNR BCP - Travis County Natural Resources DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: As the property is listed as a state archaeological site, collaboration with the Texas Historical Commission may be required. BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: § 25-2-352(3)(c)(i) Architecture. The property embodies the distinguishing characteristics of a recognized architectural style, type, or method of construction; exemplifies technological innovation in design or construction; displays high artistic value in representing ethnic or folk art, architecture, or construction; represents a rare example of an architectural style in the city; serves as an outstanding example of the work of an architect, builder, or artisan who significantly contributed to the development of the city, state, or nation; possesses cultural, historical, or architectural value as a particularly fine or unique example of a utilitarian or vernacular structure; or represents an architectural curiosity or one-of-a-kind building. Unfortunately, ‘80s and ‘90s-era additions and modifications have proven to reduce the building’s integrity, and—with this new information—staff no longer believes the main house retains sufficient integrity to convey its true historic-era appearance. However, two outbuildings on-site (not referenced in PR-2024-021145) do retain sufficient integrity: a tack barn dating to the Running Rope Ranch and a much older cedar cabin that appears to have been moved to its current location, potentially from elsewhere on the …

7304 KNOX LANE Carter Design Associates (CDA) was retained to review existing research and the residential structure located at 7404 Knox Lane, Austin, Texas. The review was to determine whether the structure met the criteria for historic zoning by the City of Austin. On September 19th, 2024 CDA met on site with the Owner to assess the historic merits of the primary residence and if the criteria were met was there an intact historic structure that could be relocated onsite. The residential structure consists of multiple additions and modifications made by the Knox family throughout their lifetime and ownership of the property. All findings and hypotheses are based on visual observation and research limited to mapping, photographs (contemporary and historic) and written accounts. The original intent of CDA’s review concerned the historic criteria and how, if at all, the structure met the stated criteria. The history of the property suggested that the building had been modified, and there might be an “original” historic building that would better meet the criteria. Our work was to uncover this historic structure and determine how it could be relocated on the site. Findings The site visit forced a revision of the working hypotheses 1. The residence had been radically modified over time and what appeared to the historic features were actually constructed with replica materials. 2. The site/land is just as important as the residential structure 3. The outbuildings better tell the story of the Knox family, based on historic accounts. Today, the residence is a L-shaped plan with a two-story portion to the East; a curved, wrap around covered porch to the Southeast; enclosed shed-roofed porch to the West; and an early one-room addition to the South. Most of the exterior finishes such as the roof, board and batten siding, doors, windows, screens, siding, shutters and trim are modern construction and/or replacements. The finishes do not reflect an historic photo (See Photo X -) which appears to be the South façade of the residence, nor is there any of the (olive-green) stucco mentioned on page 71 of the Austin Originals – Chats with Colorful Characters by Robyn Turner. Many of the interior finishes have been replaced with modern materials chosen for aesthetic reasons by the Owners and intended to reflect an older rustic style. (Exhibit C) Using historical aerial photos, we can begin to put to piece together the evolution of the residence …

Update On The Knox Preserve Margaret Thomas Knox passed January 20, 2022 allowing the development of the Knox Preserve subdivision to proceed. We’ve had several past articles in the newsletter on Mrs. Knox so I won't dive into her history here. But briefly for context, her husband James Knox inherited the property from his parents. His father, Capt. Warren Penn Knox, was prominent in Boy Scouting in Texas, acquired the property and after WWII started Running Rope Boys Ranch. Barring a thorough deed search, by 1946 the newspaper reports "W.P. Knox" buying the 184 acre property (The Austin American, 26 Apr 1946, Fri, Page 20). By 1947 Running Rope Ranch is up and running in the news. The farmstead (a core house that was extended over the years; out buildings; cleared fields) is extant in the 1937 aerials of Travis County that have recently become available. An oral interview of Margaret Knox for the book Austin Originals, 1982, puts the farmhouse at ca. 1900 at least. Based on the history of this area, could the property be older? Maybe. For example, Esperanza School, which was above Spicewood Springs, was a one room log cabin started in 1866 serving this area.1 The school was less than a mile from the Knox Preserve. Old aerial photos seem to indicate an older entrance to the property may have been off of Spicewood Springs Rd. not far from the school. Could the property be that old? We don’t know without a lot more research, but from the history of the school we know there was sufficient population in the community of Spicewood Springs in 1866 to warrant a school. The log cabin school was open until 1893; so close in time to the age of the Knox house quoted by Margaret Knox. The Thurms, a German family, settled on Bull Creek in 1855 on what is today’s Old Spicewood Springs Rd. at the bottom of what was known then as Thurm’s Hill. Their homestead was in today’s Bull Creek Park, roughly the 5300 “block” of today’s Old Spicewood Springs Rd; most of it was obliterated by Loop 360 construction; the current round of work is probably finishing off any potential sub-surface remains. All to say, settlement in this area goes back a ways and the Knox Preserve, with its own spring (called out on property plats as “Indian Springs”), close to Spicewood Springs, its …

We are directly across the street from the entrance to the short Knox Lane cul-de- sac which ends at the Knox property. At the July 3 meeting, it is my understanding that Mr. Jimmy Nassour intends to speak. Apparently Mr. Nassour represented that he has had several meetings with nearby residents regarding his plan to redevelop the historic Knox property. If that is the case, and I do not believe it is, those meetings did not involve us, despite our being directly impacted by the proposed plans. The development “plans” continue to experience mission creep. Mr. Nassour now apparently proposes 20 ADUs rather than the original single-family home project. Of course all of his plans have a single entrance and exit, one that involves traffic aimed directly at our home. There is no infrastructure to support the number of vehicles that would involve. There is no accounting for the environmental devastation such a development would entail. This is just a developer, with no regard for anything but his pocketbook, trying to take advantage of a situation. The Knox property is a historical feature of our neighborhood. It is a scarce natural water source for wildlife. It is a singular property in the City of Austin. Allowing someone to callously destroy that, with an indefinite plan, a single entrance and exit onto a quiet residential street (one that would have to provide for, conservatively, the comings and goings of 40 new vehicles) would be to completely disregard the neighborhoods, the citizens, and the many, many children who regularly ride their bikes up and down Running Rope, use it to walk to school (we have a group of about 9 children who walk to Doss every morning), and to permit the creation of health and safety hazards while allowing the destruction of natural resources. No one would benefit from this plan except for Mr. Nassour and his wealthy investors. There have not been ANY meetings regarding 20 ADUs. …

From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Fahnestock, Sam " " Knox Lane -- Relocation Permit--July 3 Thursday, June 27, 2024 10:34:44 AM ; External Email - Exercise Caution Mr. Fahnestock, Below are my comments for inclusion in the July 3rd Commissioner packet. Also I wish to register to speak by phone. The pertinent registration information is at the end of this email. Dear Members, I object to the proposed relocation permit for the property at 7304 Knox Lane. James E. Jarrett 7301 Running Rope Austin, TX 78731 Comments: My objections about relocation of the Knox house are four-fold. 1. Relocation does not preserve the house which has been the centerpiece of a large part of the nearby Northwest Hills land. This house has been a major landmark for several generations of Northwest Hills families. As a homeowner that can see the dwelling from my property, I can attest that for at least 32 years it has been decorated during the holidays as a gingerbread house. Not only have nearby families come by on foot to view the spectacle but cars often were parked on Knox Lane so that children and their parents could view this special structure. 2. Communication by the developer and his team with neighbors has been abysmal. I know of only two meetings that have occurred: February 2013 and July 2015. Nothing has been shared in 9 years. And while the postponement from the June 5th meeting to this July 3rd meeting supposedly was to allow time for providing residents an opportunity to meet with the developer, he has not reached out to schedule anything with us on Running Rope, the street that will be most affected. At the May 1 Commission meeting, the developer mentioned he had met with someone from the Northwest Austin Civic Association (NWACA). No date was given. Besides this obvious omission, Commission members should know that NWACA traditionally has never become involved as either a proponent or an opponent of proposed new developments in Northwest Hills. 3. 20 ADUs—Nothing has been communicated by either the developer or the City of Austin about this to my knowledge. We do not know if they have been approved, if these 20 ADUs would be in lieu of, or in addition to, the original 13 single family homes proposed. 4. The traffic situation from the original 13 proposed homes would be bad enough. (There are no sidewalks …

In reference, to the attached Exhibits A, B, and C, that support and reveal the owner’s longstanding communication with the current neighborhood. In fact, over the years the petitioner has stayed in close communication with the neighborhood’s Mr. Charlie Galvin and the rest of the NWACA Board, refer to Exhibit B, email communication. On May 1, 2024 during the HLC meeting Mr. Hector Rivero, communicated that as a resident of the neighborhood he was not aware of this project. So, the petitioner postponed being placed on the agenda for June until Mr. Rivero’s questions were answered. After multiple attempts to schedule a time to meet with him and the neighborhood we did not hear back. Yet, the owner has over the years already met with the leadership and has a longstanding relationship with this neighborhood. The owner has kept the NWACA Team up to date and communication is also placed in the newsletter. We are asking the Historic Land commission to grant us the ability to relocate this house and help another family. Please refer to Exhibit A, in reference to the subdivision that was reviewed and processed by the City of Austin Staff and does meet the City of Austin’s code requirements. In Exhibit C, please find the contractor who has signed an affidavit communicating a successful relocation is possible. We look forward to working with you on these lots. Please let me know if you have any questions or need further information.

Hi Kalan – one of the concerns on this one is that the archeological site was for a long time (since the 60s) in the wrong location in the site atlas, so anyone that would have looked for a site wouldn’t have found it. I had it corrected just a few years back when I started working w/ the neighborhood association. On some maps (see attached) it is labeled as "Indian Springs", and is recorded with the THC archeology site atlas as 41TV156. As noted before, based on it and other archeological sites we know in the area -- near Spicewood Springs, Still House Hollow, up and down the Mopac corridor, Bull Creek, the Balcones Canyonlands in this …

From: To: Subject: Date: Historic Preservation Office relocation of Knox homestead case # GF 24-043942 Monday, September 30, 2024 3:27:51 PM You don't often get email from . Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution At the last meeting (April) it was noted that the Knox home might be moved to another site. In order to do this the house was to be cut into two pieces and moved via trailer to another site. It should be noted that no matter how you cut this house, the hard part is moving it from the site. In order to exit the property via Knox Ln (the only access) several very old oak trees would have to be severely cut back; there is then no other way but to exit west or east onto Running Rope. Running Rope has a canopy of very old oak trees in either direction covering both sides of the street. These trees extending from either side of the street would have to be severely cut back to allow a trailer with a house on it. I suspect the neighborhood would never allow these trees to be butchered to allow movement of the Knox house. There is also an electrical utility line crossing the west end of the street. I suggest preserving on site or demolish. I, personally, see no reason to save this house. It is poorly and cheaply constructed with a poorly designed add on bathroom (sitting on a slab. Note the original house utilized an outhouse). The back porch roof is an add on that will simply fall apart no matter how the house is cut. The only thing of any value is the flooring which could be easily salvaged. The roof is steel (not period) and the siding is composite material (also not period) and with a huge stone fireplace occupying the rear wall being the main structure of the rear wall. Stephen A.

20 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS NOVEMBER 6, 2024 PR-2024-043844; GF-2024-058061 1704 EAST MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. BOULEVARD PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1916 house and ca. 1942 rear house. ARCHITECTURE One-story L-plan National Folk house with hipped roof, board-and-batten siding, and partial-width front porch supported by turned posts. Fenestration includes 2:2 wood windows; one of the original double entry doors has been converted to a window. The back house is a gabled, one-story building with horizontal wood siding and a partial width inset porch. RESEARCH The front house at 1704 East Martin Luther King, originally addressed as 1304 East 19th Street, was constructed around 1916 as rental property. Its architectural detailing marks it as an example of National Folk houses rented to working-class East Austin families during the early years of the twentieth century by Edmund and Oscar Hofheinz. According to a 2019 Historic Preservation Office report, 11 known and 13 possible houses of this style and original use remain within the East Austin Historic Resource Survey area,1 though several have since been demolished. The East Austin Context Statement notes their impact on development patterns: The first two decades of the 1900s were rampant with development throughout East Austin…residential construction in these new developments reflected evolving trends in domestic designs, as the eclectic tastes of the Victorian era waned and simpler styles…became more widespread…new [working-class] house types began to replace more traditional forms. The linear, one‐ room‐deep plans that featured gabled roofs…gave way to deeper, more box‐like plans and often had hipped or pyramidal roofs with inset porches. The effect created a more vertical emphasis. The rental houses of brothers Edmund (“E. J.”) Hofheinz and Oscar (“O. G.”) Hofheinz exemplified this trend. E. J. Hofheinz (ca. 1870–1949) was a real estate dealer and accountant, while O.G. Hofheinz (ca. 1880–1957) was an insurance salesman and developer. Together, the brothers subdivided land and built houses in East Austin and Clarksville. Real estate transaction articles in the Austin American Statesman indicate that the Hofheinz brothers both speculatively sold the houses that they built and retained them for rental income.2 Though the Hofheinz brothers rented some of their properties to tenants of color, their purchase of smaller lots and homes made property ownership even more difficult for East Austin residents. Even if African American homebuyers could secure a loan large enough to purchase a lot—a difficult feat in the era …

It looks like he attended ARC last week. …So y’all may have already heard Javier’s point about Black stewardship of the Hofheinz homes—a cool and important addition to the historical record.

Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Good Afternoon Cara, I hope this email finds you well. Sarah Marshall suggested I reach out to you. I am reaching out because my cousin, Aisha Gooden-Williams, called me about some issues she's having with the COA Historic Commission and the demolition of some structures on a property they own. The homes are located on East MLK and she said her permits for demolition have been denied due to the historic nature of structures, specifically as it relates to them being "Hofheinz homes." I was wondering if you had any insights, ideas, or strategies they could use in their case? I think it's important to note the history of the homes and persons that are much larger than them being "Hofheinz homes." My grandfather's sister, Mrs. Winifred Hill Gooden, labored as a domestic for the Hofheinz family for decades. Upon the death of Mrs. Hofheinz, my aunt inherited all of their rental properties in East Austin, designated for Black renters. Since, the Gooden family has been the steward of those properties and have kept longtime East Austin families in homes. I mention that, as I think it's sorely omitted from the historical narrative currently presented about "Hofheinz homes" in East Austin. Currently, when I read some of the rationale to preserve the homes, it's centered on the Hofheinz family and the architectural design of the structures. I think we should consider more than the traditional elements of historic preservation, which I know the Equity Based Plan is trying to address. I am happy to connect you …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS NOVEMBER 6, 2024 PR-2024-096343; GF-2024-101131 5303 SAMUEL HUSTON AVENUE 21 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1963 church. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH The main sanctuary is an A-frame structure with vertical stained glass, stacked-limestone cladding, and a central entrance beneath a simple gabled portico. The attached fellowship hall is a one-story extension with a compound hipped and gabled roof and limestone cladding over CMU. Rehoboth Primitive Baptist Church was founded in 1962, according to the Church history archived on the congregation’s website. A group of church elders from two different worship groups met at what was likely the Giese-Stark Store on San Bernard Street to discuss their vision, and by July of 1962, they had broken ground on a new church building at 5303 Samuel Huston Avenue. After the first pastor, Reverend R. H. Howard, left the church in 1967, Reverend R. D. Reese led the congregation until his death in 2005.1 In a 2019 writeup on Mid-Century Modern churches across the state, Preservation Texas defined these structures’ importance to our built environment: In the years following World War II, a mobile and growing population in Texas found the need to build new churches and synagogues in urban, suburban, and even small rural communities across the state. Texas architects designed new structures that reflected a modern age, employing innovative construction methods and new materials resulting in striking progressive sacred places. But in recent years, urban populations have changed, and the demands of 21st- century congregations often cannot be contained in the buildings of the mid-twentieth century. As a result, Midcentury Modern Sacred Places are threatened with destruction as congregations relocate or consolidate and their often-valuable property is sold for redevelopment.2 As a neighborhood-scale place of worship built during this age of evolving modernism, the Rehoboth Primitive Baptist Church’s Mid-Century Modern design language of sweeping eaves and dramatically tapering roofline reflects its founding congregation’s innovation in their desire to unite and uplift their community. 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 for landmark designation: a. Architecture. The building is a good example of mid-century Modern ecclesiastical architecture on a neighborhood scale. b. Historical association. The property is …

September 30, 2024 To: City of Austin, Historic Landmark Commission Re: PR-2024-096343 – 5303 Samuel Huston Ave, District 1 From: EMLK Neighborhood Plan Contact Team Hi Sam Fahnestock, Kalan Contreras, Witt Featherston and Commissioners, This letter is in reference to a case at the Historic Landmark Commission, PR-2024-096343 – 5303 Samuel Huston Ave in Council District 1. One of our Co Chairs, Dianna Dean, has been in contact with DAR Construction, Mike Speciale. Dianna attended the Historic Landmark Commission meeting on Sept 4, 2024. The item was postponed during that meeting and is expected to be on the Oct 2 meeting. During the Sept 15, 2024 EMLK Contact Team meeting, we discussed this case. We had no objections to the proposal to approve demolition of the church building, as long as the following requests are both met: ● Save the historic oak tree on the property and incorporate it into the new structure’s layout. ● The community would like reuse of the cornerstone. A community member can pick up the cornerstone once it is detached from the building. Thank you for considering our input, EMLK Contact Team

Learn why this is External Email - Exercise Caution Hello, Sam, I'm writing in regard to the demolition permit for a property that is next to mine at 1730 Bunche Road Unit B. I am not protesting the demo in of itself, but I did notice that the demo plans neglected to include our three heritage pecan trees that sit between our property and the site that is being demoed. It stood out particularly since our elm tree that is behind our property and nowhere near the demo site IS on the demo plan. It is unlikely that our pecan trees' CRZs are in the demo area but without them being considered on the plan, there really is no way for us to know for sure. One of the tree's canopy does extend at least 6' over the demo site, so I do truly believe it should at least be a documented part of the plan. Is this something that can be reviewed and added to the plan before it moves forward to ensure that the trees will not be endangered or let me know who I should reach out to? See attached for screenshot of demo plan with my approximate drawings of our pecan trees. Thank you for your time and consideration.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS NOVEMBER 6, 2024 PR-2024-125740; GF-2024-138551 407 E. 7TH STREET 22 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Demolish a ca. 1932 commercial building, damaged by fire in February of 2024. Two-story commercial building clad in stucco, with multi-light aluminum casement windows, a flat roof, and a symmetrical plan. The building at 407 East 7th Street was constructed between 1922 and 1932, with commercial occupancy beginning in 1932 when well-known merchants Abraham and Amelia Nassour opened a general store in the building. The Nassour family business, which centered in East 6th Street during the early part of the twentieth century, was headed by brothers Abraham and Joseph Nassour. Born in Beirut, the brothers were part of a 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. By the time he and his family opened the shop at 407 East 7th, Abraham Nassour, known as Abe, had already helped to establish a successful saloon and a shoe store on 6th Street and Congress Avenue. The Nassours also lived on the property and rented rooms to tenants, including a seamstress and a newsagent, during the 1940s. By the ‘50s, they had sold the property. After a brief stint as a realty office and a loan company, it was converted into a hotel in 1961 and remained a lodging facility for the remainder of the period of significance. PROPERTY EVALUATION Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate to low integrity. Interior fire damage has compromised the building’s structure, and exterior alterations appear to have taken place in the 1980s. 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 does not appear to convey architectural significance. b. Historical association. The property is associated with merchant Abraham Nassour but does not appear to have the same degree of significance as Nassour’s properties on East 6th Street. 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 appear to possess a unique location, physical characteristic, or significant feature that contributes …

Attached is a receipt for the HLC referral fees. Please confirm that we are set for the Nov. 6 HLC hearing. Additionally, I am attaching the notice of code violation we recently received for the property. The structure was vacant earlier this year and was being used by people experiencing homelessness. A fire was set inside the building in February, which led to a 2-alarm fire. After containing the fire, AFD was not able to investigate the cause because they could not enter the building due to the structural instability. The building has been boarded up to prevent human entry, but as you’ll see, DSD code inspectors recently investigated the property and found several life and safety violations, including plumbing, mechanical, and electrical hazards. The fire damage and resulting safety concerns are what led to the demolition permit application. I hope this additional context is helpful.

The property embodies the distinguishing characteristics of a recognized architectural style, type, or method of construction; exemplifies technological innovation in design or construction; displays high artistic value in representing ethnic or folk art, architecture, or construction; represents a rare example of an architectural style in the city; serves as an outstanding example of the work of an architect, builder, or artisan who significantly contributed to the development of the city, state, or nation; possesses cultural, historical, or architectural value as a particularly fine or unique example of a utilitarian or vernacular structure; or represents an architectural curiosity or one-of-a-kind building. The Town Lake Gazebo, as a unique example of Modernist architecture, is an icon of Austin’s Colorado River waterfront. Since its design and construction in 1969, it has been one of the most recognizable Town Lake touchpoints, as one of Austin’s only hyperbolic paraboloid structures, and has changed very little since its construction. Commissioned by the Austin Chapter of the National Association of Women in Construction in 1965, the gazebo project was supported by Over a dozen construction firms with donations of materials and labor. In her 2024 summary of the site, historian Lori Martin describes the building’s architectural significance in detail: Construction commenced in 1969, and the gazebo was dedicated in June 1970. Project architect J. Sterry Nill (and husband of NAWIC Austin Chapter president Lori Nill) designed the gazebo in keeping with the …

Sam Fahnestock Historic Preservation Office City of Austin May 23, 2024 Subject: Request to consider initiation of historic zoning, Fannie Davis Town Lake Gazebo/Women in Construction Gazebo (9037 Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail) Dear Mr. Fahnestock, We would like to include the Fannie Davis Town Lake Gazebo/Women in Construction Gazebo, located at 9037 Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail, on the Historic Landmark Commission’s June agenda for consideration of initiation of historic zoning. The owner, the City of Austin’s Parks and Recreation Department (PARD), has been notified of this request. The gazebo was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2019. Originally known as the Town Lake Gazebo, the Fannie Davis Town Lake Gazebo was the first public structure built in the effort to beautify the south shore of Town Lake (now Lady Bird Lake). The Austin Chapter of the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC), established in the 1950s for women working in the construction industry, spearheaded and raised funds for the project’s completion. The structure was built from 1969-1970 and features a striking hyperbolic paraboloid roof with folded plate ridges and valleys. Architect J. Sterry Nill designed a community structure that reflected the architectural trends of the 1960s and brought an iconic piece of architecture to the shores of Lady Bird Lake. The gazebo was later named after Fannie Davis, a charter member of the Austin chapter of NAWIC. The gazebo’s Mid-Century Modern design and contributions to the beautification of Town Lake meet the City’s Architecture and Community Value criteria for local landmark designation. It is also eligible for its Historical Associations with the development of the hike and bike trail, and women in construction. Thank you for your consideration and feel free to reach out regarding any questions or concerns.

July 2, 2024 RE: Fannie Davis Town Lake Gazebo Dear Chair Heimsath, Vice Chair Featherston, and Members of the Historic Landmark Commission, Preservation Austin exists to empower Austinites to shape a more inclusive, resilient, and meaningful community culture through preservation. We write today in support of designating the Fannie Davis Town Lake Gazebo as a City of Austin Historic Landmark for its historic associations with women in construction, its Mid-Century Modern architectural style, and its community value as a significant site in the beautification of Lady Bird Lake. Built in 1969-70, the Austin Chapter of the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) spearheaded the efforts to raise funds for what was originally known as the Town Lake Gazebo. The organization commissioned architect J. Sterry Nill to design the gazebo in a striking Mid-Century Modern style, featuring a dramatic geometric roofline with folded plate ridges and valleys. The gazebo was one of the first structures built to beautify the south shore of Town Lake (now Lady Bird Lake), and its design reflects the spirit of its age and its role as a community space. The gazebo was later named in honor of Fannie Davis, a charter member of the Austin Chapter of NAWIC. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2019. In alignment with our Underrepresented Heritage Advocacy Priority, we commend the Historic Landmark Commission for taking the initiative to honor this significant site of women’s heritage. We wholeheartedly support the designation of the Fannie Davis Town Lake Gazebo as a City of Austin Landmark. Thank you for your consideration and your service to our city. Sincerely, Melissa Barry, President

Austin Parks and Recreation Department 200 South Lamar Boulevard, Austin, Texas 78704 July 3, 2024 Historic Landmark Commission City of Austin Subject: Fannie Davis Gazebo Dear Members of the Historic Landmark Commission: Please accept this letter of support from the Austin Parks and Recreation Department for the designation of the Fannie Davis Gazebo as a City of Austin Historic Landmark. The 1969 Town Lake Gazebo was the first public structure built in the effort to beautify the south shore of Town Lake (now Lady Bird Lake), which was created after the construction of Longhorn Dam on the Colorado River in 1960. The Austin Chapter of the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC), established in the 1950s for women working in the construction industry, spearheaded and raised funds for the project. Inspired by Lady Bird Johnson, a national leader in environmental beautification and later the honorary co-chair of the Town Lake Beautification Committee, the Austin chapter began planning and raising money for the structure in 1965. Nearly 100 contractors and suppliers enthusiastically supported the gazebo project with donations of materials and labor. The gazebo was dedicated in June 1970, and then in 1984, the structure was named for Fannie Davis, a founding member of the Austin chapter of NAWIC. The gazebo was designed by architect, J. Sterry Nill, to resemble an inverted morning glory flower and its design reflects diverse architectural trends of the 1960s. The Fannie Davis Gazebo was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2020. Noted for its historical and architectural significance, the Fannie Davis Gazebo joined other properties under the stewardship of the Austin Parks and Recreation Department system with historic designation. The Parks and Recreation Department Historic Preservation & Tourism Program appreciates the support of the Historic Landmark Commission and looks forward to collaborating on the historic designation process. Best regards, Kim McKnight, MSHP, AICP Program Manager, Historic Preservation & Tourism Program Cc: Alyssa Tharrett RA, NCARB, Division Manager, Architectural Development Liana Kallivoka, PhD, PE, LEED Fellow, Assistant Director Angela Means, MPA, Interim Director The City of Austin is committed to compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

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 historical importance that contributed significantly to the history of the city, state, or nation or represents a significant portrayal of the cultural practices or the way of life of a definable group of people in a historic time. This property has connection to Dr. Francis Luther Whitney, who moved along with his wife Grace Whitney to Austin 1908 after declining a faculty position at the University of Michigan. Instead, Dr. Whitney took a professorship at the University of Texas’s newly formed paleontology department within the Department of Geological Sciences. He served in this role for the next 40 years, until his retirement. During the 1920s, he would serve as chair of the department, in addition to teaching, including a course of micropaleontology that was likely one of the first in the academic world. The opportunities for geological and paleontological research and development were immense in Texas during this time, and Dr. Whitney’s work spanned from acquiring collections of mollusk fossils still in the university’s possession to developing mathematical models to identify structures that would be used directly by the oil and gas industry to identify deposits. Dr. Whitney’s research and academic …

Historical Narrative 1304 Guadalupe Austin, Texas Summary The Augusta Adams Ziller School was built as a simple Pre-railroad Folk style dwelling located at the comer of Guadalupe and, formerly Walnut-Street in downtown Austin. At the time 1304 Guadalupe was built, the area that is now the University of Texas was a native American camping site. The building is a contributing building to the newly designated West Downtown Historic District. The building uses forms and architectural patterns reflecting longstanding vernacular and folk traditions. Before the arrival of the railroad in Austin in 1871, building methods and forms typically were passed down through hands-on teaching and apprenticeships, often reflecting regional customs or traditions brought to the US by immigrants. Buildings classified as folk-influenced typically do not include ornamentation or detailing influenced by another style. The small frame building at 1304 Guadalupe was constructed in about 1877. Its original use was as a private school run by Theresa Adam, daughter of a pioneering female immigrant to Texas. 1304 Guadalupe and its next-door neighbor, 1306 Guadalupe, have been intertwined for over 140 years; 1306 Guadalupe was designated as historical in September 2023. Each has its beginning whenAugusta Kohn Adams immigrated to the United States, and ultimately to Austin, in 1857 with two young daughters. She had lost her father and husband and hoped to make a new life for her children in America. Basis for historical designation 25-2-352(3)(c)(i) Architecture- The property embodies the distinguishing characteristics of a recognized architectural style, type, or method of construction; exemplifies technological innovation in design or construction, displays high artistic value in representing ethnic or folk art, architecture, or construction represents a rare example of an architectural style in the city; serves as an outstanding example of the work of an architect, builder, or artisan who significantly contributed to the development of the city, state or nation; possesses cultural, historical or architectural value as a particularly fine or unique example of a utilitarian or vernacular structure; or represents an architectural curiosity or one of-a-kind building. 1304 Guadalupe Street is a rare and remarkably intact 155-year old vernacular structure. It exemplifies the simple beginnings of Austin's pioneer past. It is an 1 excellent example of the simplicity of early architectural endeavors built with local materials, prior to the arrival of the railroad in Austin in 1871. 25-2-352(3)( c)ii) Historical Associations. The property has long-standing significant associations with persons, groups, institutions, …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS NOVEMBER 6, 2024 HR-2024-121988 GRAVES HOUSE 2 GREEN LANES 9.0 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS wraparound porch. ARCHITECTURE Construct a rear addition, restore fixtures to historic appearance, remove and rebuild a second-floor addition based on historic drawings. 1) Demolish southwest corner of ground floor and rebuild with expanded footprint, creating a kitchen, family room, and 2) Demolish non-historic second floor addition above current garage. 3) Recreate elements of the 1937 design and construct a second-floor space at the front that adheres to historic drawings. 4) Restore all wood windows. 5) Replace garage doors with assemblies more aligned with original drawings. The Graves House is a 1938 Colonial Revival House designed by local architect H.F. Kuehne in the Old West Austin Historic District. Original drawings show a main symmetrical house with a center door along with a garage wing with a two-car garage and second floor featuring dormer windows above it. Later alterations saw a second floor constructed above the garage that eliminated the dormers and created a front facing gable, which is the current appearance. The main house has remained largely the same, with the center door bracketed by columns and shuttered windows. The second-floor features three windows matching those below. Exterior cladding is brick, and the main house has a side gabled roof clad in composition shingle. At the rear, a sunroom is present and in the original drawings, though the sunroom’s windows appear different and may have been replaced. The Graves House was designated historic by the City of Austin in 2004. 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 Alterations are proposed to the second floor of the garage wing’s front elevation, which are based off original design drawings from the architect. Aside from this major alteration, work proposed in this section is largely repair or replacement of non-original material with a more appropriate appearance. 3. Roofs Current roof is composition shingle, and the application proposes replacement in-kind due to deterioration. Replacement of roof eaves, where needed, are in-kind and will not change their appearance. 4. Exterior walls and trim Brick is proposed to be patched and repointed, in keeping with …
