David Rudick < > Maison Rêve - Historic Exterior Color Palette Options Leah B Flippen To: David Rudick Hello Everyone, Chris Pisculli Wed, Mar 12 at 12:16 PM , Molly Parks In preparation for today's historic society walk-through, I've developed two elegant exterior color schemes for Maison Rêve using verified Sherwin Williams historic colors that would meet approval requirements for the grant. I've attached a visual reference of both palettes for your review. *Option 1: Victorian Jewel Harmony* - Main Body: Downing Slate SW 2819 - Trim/Porch Details: Classical White SW 2829 - Accent (Corbels/Window Sashes): Mulberry Silk SW 0001 - Front Door: Rockwood Red SW 2802 - Porch Ceiling: Queen Anne Lilac SW 0021 This combination creates a distinctive exterior that stands out while maintaining historical authenticity. The sophisticated Downing Slate provides a beautiful backdrop for the architectural details, while the Mulberry Silk creates an elegant transition between the slate and red elements. The vibrant Rockwood Red door serves as a jewelry-like focal point that hints at the interior jewel tones, and the Queen Anne Lilac ceiling adds a subtle connection to our interior color palette. *Option 2: Victorian Classic Drama* - Main Body: Downing Slate SW 2819 - Trim/Porch Details: Classical White SW 2829 - Accent (Corbels/Window Sashes): Rockwood Dark Red SW 2801 - Front Door: Rockwood Red SW 2802 - Porch Ceiling: Dutch Tile Blue SW 0031 This palette offers a more traditional approach with higher contrast between elements, creating a bold yet historically accurate exterior. The deep Rockwood Dark Red accents provide rich depth against the blue- gray slate, while the Dutch Tile Blue ceiling complements the main color beautifully. This combination honors Victorian color traditions while creating a memorable street presence. Both options would create a stunning exterior that reflects the sophistication of the interior design. I'm continuing to research historically appropriate front door options and will follow up with recommendations as soon as possible. I'm available to discuss these options during today's walk-through if you'd like to review them with the historic representative present. Best regards, Leah Leah B.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS MAY 7, 2025 HR-2025-046314 DRISKILL HOTEL 604 BRAZOS STREET 8.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Repair and replace deteriorated elements in approximately 40% of the main building’s windows and 80% of the tower’s windows. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The project includes large-scale repair of window trim, glass, and sealing on the third floor and above. Per the conditions survey provided to the applicant, varying levels of deterioration of frames and glazing—from minor to severe—are present at both the original 1886 building and the 1930s-era tower; glazing putty and seals throughout are in poor condition. The project’s engineering consultant proposes the following repairs: In all locations, we recommend removing and resetting glazing within the fixed frames. This includes windows at the original 1886 hotel as well as the tower; recommended work sequence is as follows: Remove exterior wood glazing stops and/or glazing putty. Cut back glazing seals and remove existing glass, taking care to avoid damage to glass and frame components. Clean glass and glazing pocket of debris and deleterious materials. Repair or replace damaged portions of interior window framing. Apply new glazing putty or silicone sealant into glazing pocket in a continuous manner. Set glass into glazing pocket in a level and plumb manner. Tool exterior glazing putty/setting sealant and install new exterior wood glazing stops set in glazing tape or silicone sealant. Reset glass at upper tower levels and discrete lower levels of identified water leakage and interior damage. Cut out and replace exterior glazing putty at the 1886 historic windows, including cleaning of the glazing pocket outboard of the glass. If only partial repairs of the glazing are pursued, we recommend resetting glass in locations of known leakage or where visible gaps and/or discontinuities in the glass-to-frame interfaces were noted. At a minimum, this should include the following work: Windows identified with minimal frame damage should be scraped of loose paint, primed, and repainted. This includes scraping loose paint, replacing pieces that are severely damaged, filling small areas of damage, removing and replacing broken glass lites, and cutting out and replacing degraded glazing putty, then priming and painting. Windows identified as having partial-depth or discrete areas of frame damage should be repaired by scraping loose paint, cleaning surfaces, and filling damaged wood frame elements prior to priming and repainting. Windows identified as the most damaged, with highly degraded frame components experiencing section loss, …

Acton Partners, LLC PO Box 203663 Austin, Texas 78720-3663 TBPE Firm F-16437 www.ActonPC.com P: ACTON PARTNERS Sent via electronic mail to j January 14, 2025 John Bryant Vice President of Construction and Development Woodbine Development Corporation 1845 Woodall Rodgers, Ste. 1700 Dallas, Texas 75201 Re: Preliminary Letter Report – Window Condition Survey -- DRAFT -- Driskill Hotel Room Refresh APC No. 2024.0277 Dear Mr. Bryant: In accordance with our proposal dated December 10, 2024, Acton Partners, LLC Consulting (APC) has performed a field survey of the historic wood-framed windows at the Driskill Hotel and has prepared the following report summarizing our findings and recommendations. BACKGROUND The historic Driskill Hotel, located in downtown Austin, Texas, is a four-story Romanesque-style hotel structure located at the corner of East 6th Street and Brazos that was constructed in 1886. A thirteen-story tower was added to the north side of the historic building, along 7th Street, in 1930. Woodbine Development is planning ongoing renovations for the historic building, to include repairs to the exterior wood-framed windows. Accordingly, APC was engaged to review the condition of the wood frames, glazing, and perimeter seals. VISUAL OBSERVATIONS Window Frames and Glazing APC visited the site on January 2 and 3, 2025, to perform a visual review of the current conditions of the window systems from the interior of units, accessible low roofs, balconies, and ground level. Our observations of the conditions are described below. During our assessment, we directly accessed 115 of 189 guest rooms across the original 1886 building and the tower. At the historic building, the windows are typically fixed and single-hung, wood-framed units of varying sizes and geometries (Figure 1). The larger units have exposed exterior glazing putty between the single pane glazing and frames, some include muntins between glass units, and others include leaded stained glass (Figure 2, Figure 3, and Figure 4). The operable portions of the windows are fixed in place and are typically covered with a fixed storm/sound panel at the interior (Figure 5). Glazing putty throughout these units is in poor condition, appearing embrittled and with voids or missing exterior portions (Figure 6). At the tower, the windows are typically fixed, wood-framed units, with single pane glass held in place with exterior wood glazing stops attached to the fixed frames with finish nails (Figure 7, Figure 8, and Figure 9). Discontinuities are present throughout the tower in the back-bedded seals …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS MAY 7, 2025 HR-2025-043034 ZIMMERMAN CABIN 9019 PARKFIELD DRIVE 9.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Stabilize and restore the original 1854 construction of this Austin landmark. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Shore west wall and repair foundation, including installing concrete piers and steel beams. Utilize existing stones to retain original appearance. 2) Restore fachwerk walls, including restoration of half-timbering and removal of cement-based plaster, to be replaced with lime mortars and plasters. 3) Reproduce wood windows in their original appearance and install new period-appropriate shutters. ARCHITECTURE The one-story frame residence known as the Zimmerman Cabin was originally a four-room cottage that featured half- timbering, known also as fachwerk, construction. Originally built in 1854, the house was used by the Zimmerman family who owned the land in what is now North Austin. Alterations and additions over time added several rooms and saw non- compatible finishes and materials such as Portland cement used for repairs. Currently, the house features a front porch with an overhang supported by decorative metal posts, and a variety of siding types. Upon receipt of this application, the west façade had been exposed to the original fachwork, which is in good condition given its age and years of entrapment. The roof is clad in composite shingle, and alterations have occurred to the front door and some of the windows. There is plywood covering a section of the roof gable, most likely where a vent was installed in the past. The side-gabled roof features a brick chimney at one end, in relatively good condition. 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 proposal is to remove non-historic and inappropriate materials such as cement mortars, then patch and repair with appropriate and compatible. Removal of non-historic siding will reveal the level of repairs required. 2. Foundations Stabilizing with concrete and steel foundation, then cladding it in original stone, will ensure that the foundation will support the required loads for the future, while not altering the historic appearance. 3. Roofs Roof repairs will include new wooden shingles, which match in appearance to the original construction. 4. Exterior walls and trim The removal of non-historic wall cladding will reveal …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS MAY 7, 2025 PR-2024-018182; GF-2024-030562 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 2307 WINDSOR ROAD #2 10.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1950 house and outbuilding. 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 representing 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 in 1950, the same year O’Quinn left city government for private practice. Throughout the 1960s and ‘70s, he held numerous public and political posts, including 14 years as Travis County’s Democratic Party Chairman and as the official legal 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, the American author 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 …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS MAY 7, 2025 PR-2024-159632; GF-2024-161879 WEST LINE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 705 WEST LYNN STREET 12.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1895 house. ARCHITECTURE The house located at 705 West Lynn Street is a single-story, center passage house with a side gabled roof set at a moderate- to-high pitch. The single front door is centered on the house with one 2/2 window on either side. There is a front porch that extends across the entirety of the front façade, supported by four columns. Due to the elevation of the site, the porch sits nearly at grade towards the front of the lot, but at the rear of the property is a full height unconditioned crawlspace or basement. While the footprint of the building may read as a simple rectangular center hall design, the rear extends further back into the lot, including an enclosed porch. There is also a small frame shed on the site, which is also proposed to be demolished. The shed is not mentioned in the West Line National Register nomination. RESEARCH From its construction around 1895 until 1962, the property was owned by the Quick family. John Quick, a carpenter originally from Sweden, was the first listed owner, and later married a woman named Helen, who was also a first-generation Swedish immigrant. Newspaper records indicate that Helen’s sister immigrated to Texas around 1893, though it is unknown whether the sisters arrived together or separately. The Quicks were involved with the local Methodist Church, with the address on West Lynn hosting a circle of the Women’s Society of Christian Service. John Quick died of natural causes in 1945, and Helen occupied the house until her passing in 1962 at the age of 91. The house was left unoccupied for several years after, but by the 1970s, it was occupied by renters. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the West Line National Register district, and the nomination further lists the property as eligible for individual listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high-to-moderate integrity. 3) Properties 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 a center-passage …

Steering Committee Members: Steve Amos, Chair Renae Alsobrook, Mark Ashby, Evelyn Fujimoto, Adrienne Goldsberry, Paula Hern, Nick Mehl, William Osborn, Charlie Rice, Paul Shattuck, Shawn Shillington, Erika Tatum, Meghan Yancy February 3, 2025 RE: 705 West Lynn - PR-2024-159632; GF-2024-161879 Dear Chair Heimsath and HLC Commissioners, Old West Austin Neighborhood Association, OWANA, supports retaining contributing structures in our historic district and integrating existing building forms into the overall project for new development. In the case of 705 West Lynn, preserving the façade and front rooms of the existing house and adding on to the structure would have a significant impact toward that goal. The applicant met with the OWANA zoning committee and we suggested these two options for maximizing the square footage for two living units: 1. Add a second floor to a garage structure. 2. Remove a portion or all of the heritage tree on the lot to allow for a second unit. This particular case is one that is to decide on keeping a heritage tree or a contributing structure. OWANA will support the position of keeping the contributing structure. We hope that HLC can also recommend keeping the structure. We are aware that the city tree ordinance regarding heritage trees is very strict, it seems to us in this case that if both OWANA and the HLC supports this position there is the possibility of the city arborist accepting this solution. The potential Owner in today’s meeting said that he could keep the first 15 ft of the house and make the project work if the heritage tree in the back of the lot could be removed. The tree is so close to the rear structure that it might be damaged during construction. It could be the case that some mitigation is require to offset this lost. The United States Department of the Interior National Park Service Report “NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES REGISTRATION FORM” lists 705 West Lynn as a representative property to illustrate “the broad patterns of development, diverse range of resources, and salient features of the dominant types and styles present in the district. They have been selected on the basis of their geographic distribution, relationship to similar properties, and degree of integrity.” Listed as a contributing structure, 705 West Lynn is a Center-passage, Side Gable Classical Revival style, and individually eligible for National Register listing.

Steering Committee Members: Steve Amos, Chair Renae Alsobrook, Mark Ashby, Evelyn Fujimoto, Adrienne Goldsberry, Paula Hern, Nick Mehl, William Osborn, Charlie Rice, Paul Shattuck, Shawn Shillington, Erika Tatum, Meghan Yancy March 28, 2025 RE: 705 West Lynn - PR-2024-159632; GF-2024-161879 Dear Chair Heimsath and HLC Commissioners, Old West Austin Neighborhood Association, OWANA, supports retaining contributing structures in our historic district and integrating existing building forms into the overall project for new development. In the case of 705 West Lynn, preserving the façade and front rooms of the existing house and adding on to the structure would have a significant impact toward that goal. We support the HLC’s Architectural Review Committee’s recommended exploration in elevation and section of a second story at the rear of the front housing unit and exploring the possibility of widening the proposed rear parking structure to add desired interior floor area. The applicant has not meet with the OWANA with any updated elevations and sections and it is difficult to support demolition of a contributing structure without seeing more descriptive two dimensional drawings of how successful the massing would be with an addition to the original structure. Rehabilitation, remodel and addition to contributing structures in our historic district versus demolition maintains the vitality of the district. If piecemeal destruction of these historic homes continues, our district will cease to exist and its sense of historic narrative and charm will no longer be visible. This devalues our unique pocket of history in an increasingly dynamic city. Let’s continue to respect and appreciate the reason so many people want to live in our neighborhood. The United States Department of the Interior National Park Service Report “NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES REGISTRATION FORM” lists 705 West Lynn as a representative property to illustrate “the broad patterns of development, diverse range of resources, and salient features of the dominant types and styles present in the district.

Please consider our position in your decision process as we welcome new development while struggling to maintain the essence of our neighborhood. Sincerely, Steve Amos OWANA Chair

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS MAY 7, 2025 HR-2025-005732 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1412 PRESTON AVENUE 14.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Remodel the main façade, convert the existing carport to an enclosed garage, and construct a rear addition. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Remodel the existing house. The proposed project converts the covered carport to an enclosed garage. It replaces all windows and reconfigures the existing front façade to include arched full-height windows at the enclosed brick vestibule, new hipped rooflines, and a copper awning. It replaces the existing siding with slurry-finish brick and adds limestone sills and coping. 2) Construct a rear one-story addition. The addition has molded trim at the first-floor cornice and a white steel Chippendale-style roof balustrade around each elevation. The project adds a double-width brick chimney and a second copper awning to the rear of the house. ARCHITECTURE The house at 1412 Preston Avenue is a two-story building clad in brick veneer and horizontal siding. Original windows are steel casements; some have been removed and replaced without permits. The house has a partial-width inset porch, a carport added to the front of the original garage, and a compound cross-gabled roof. RESEARCH 1412 Preston Avenue was constructed for Christopher Claus Eckhoff and his family in 1949. The Eckhoffs appear to have sold the property to the Zidd family in the early 1950s. Dr. Edward Zidd, a surgeon, moved to Austin from San Antonio in 1946 and practiced there until his death in 1969. Zidd was a hobbyist pilot and member of the Chamber of Commerce. DESIGN STANDARDS The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 1. General standards The proposed project removes intact historic material from the building’s exterior and replaces elements that do not appear to be deteriorated beyond repair. Replacement materials and elements do not look the same as the existing materials. 3. Roofs The proposed project replaces the shingle roof in-kind but changes the roofline at the main façade. It adds decorative copper awnings that were not historically present. 4. Exterior walls and trim The proposed project replaces existing siding with brick to match the existing brick. It adds limestone and decorative brickwork where none existed …

1412 PRESTON HISTORIC REVIEW General Standards – 1.The proposed project removes intact historic material from the building’s exterior and replaces elements that do not appear to be deteriorated beyond repair. Replacement materials and elements do not look the same as the existing materials. - The proposed material replacements are necessary due to the deteriorated condition of the existing siding. While it may not have initially appeared beyond repair, upon closer inspection, the siding was completely rotted, with no existing substrate to support it. Additionally, the historic windows were sitting directly on the deteriorated material, further compromising structural integrity. - To ensure the long-term durability and historic character of the home, the rear siding will be replaced with new Hardie siding, matching the original in size, profile, and appearance. On the front façade, only the rotted siding will be replaced, using brick that matches the existing brick, while all existing brick will remain in place and be repainted. - This approach not only preserves the home’s architectural integrity but also creates a cohesive, historically compatible design that aligns with the character of Preston Street, where most brick houses feature fully bricked exteriors without the introduction of additional materials. The decision to unify the façade with brick is based on contextual precedent and ensures a low-maintenance, long-lasting solution in keeping with the surrounding historic streetscape. Preston brick homes examples a. b. C. d. 3. Roofs The proposed project replaces the shingle roof in-kind, but changes the roofline at the main façade. It adds decorative copper awnings that were not historically present. - The proposed roof work primarily consists of an in-kind replacement of the existing shingles, ensuring no changes to the overall structure except for necessary repairs. - The front porch roofline modification is a carefully considered design choice that enhances the openness of the porch while remaining scaled appropriately in relation to the existing garage hip, front house hip, and second-story hip. By introducing a gentle pitch that ties into the existing hip roof, the design maintains visual harmony with the home’s original massing. - Additionally, this modification is informed by contextual precedent, as it complements the rooflines and porch openings of other homes along Preston Avenue. The decorative copper awnings, while not historically present, are designed to be proportionate and compatible with the architectural character of the home, serving as an accent that enhances the overall aesthetic without disrupting historical …

GTT RESPONSE - Volz Rebuttal HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE: The claim that this home was designed by Kelly and Nancy McAdams appears to be unverified and inconsistent with available records. 1. City of Austin records and the DEED list the Zidd family as residents in 1959, and historical documentation identifies them as physicians, with no clear connection to the McAdams. It also indicates that the home was designed in 1950 for Christopher Claus Eckhoff, who later sold the property to the Zidd family. Deed timeline: - 1949 home was built for Eckhoff. He sold the house to the Zedds - 1959 the Zedds lived in this home and passed in 1968 - 1970 Cooper Raymond lived here till 1985 - 1985 Cooper Raymond sold the house to Kelly E+ Ina Ray McAdams (Kelly R+ Nancy’s parents/inlaws) - Kelly E and Ina Ray McAdams lived in this house for 3 years and sold it in 1987 to John and Janis Dailey - 1987 John and Janis Dailey owned the home and also used it as a rental property until 2024. - 2024 John and Janis Dailey sold the home to the Camerons Given these inconsistencies, it is important that any discussions regarding the home’s historical significance be based on factual evidence and verified documentation. Without concrete records linking 1412 Preston to the McAdams, the assertion that it is one of their surviving designs is speculative and does not provide a justified basis for additional historic designation considerations. At the end of the day, we are here to discuss bringing the home back to its intended use of a single family home. See the following: 2. Our approach to 1412 Preston Avenue is guided by principles provided by the city, engaging the city, respecting the existing with simple facts: ● We have followed the due process of applying for the permit Dec 19th, obtaining a demo permit Jan 29th, albeit with a minor mistake by the builder/subs which will (and has not) happened again. And we apologize for the mistake and miscommunication. ● We are committed to preserving the existing structure, ensuring that any modifications respect the original design while enhancing functionality. Our goal is to save the house and bring it back to its original intent as a single family dwelling, from a rental property. And doing this in a respectful fashion. ● The planned modifications aim to adapt the home for contemporary …

1412 Preston Ave. Objec�on to Proposed Building Permit. March 3, 2025 Candace & John Volz 1406 Preston Ave. Our objec�on to the proposed building permit is based on three concerns: 1)1412 Preston is a contribu�ng structure in our Old West Aus�n Na�onal Register Historic District (OWANRHD). The house is significant in that it was designed and built in the mid-1950s by Aus�n architect Kelly McAdams (1929-2014) and his wife Nancy Reeves McAdams (1929- 2005), also an architect. Kelly, based on his obituary, graduated “from the School of Architecture of The University of Texas at Aus�n in 1951. While s�ll a student, he passed the state architectural registra�on examina�on and became a registered architect at 21 years of age. A�er gradua�on, he worked in Aus�n as an associate architect with R. Gommel Roessner, FAIA, and as a partner with his wife Nancy R. McAdams, AIA, designing mid-century modern residences in Balcones Park, Pemberton Heights and Rosedale. As a staff architect with the firm of Page Southerland Page, he prepared the construc�on drawings of many Aus�n landmark buildings, including the Bergstrom AFB headquarters building (now the Airport Hilton Hotel) and the Headliners Club in the Westgate Tower. In 1968 he began work toward a master's degree in architecture and developed innova�ve computer methodologies for technical drawings and solar energy calcula�ons. He joined the faculty of the School of Architecture in 1970 and taught construc�on drawings and computer graphics un�l his re�rement from the University in 1988. For several years he served as Assistant to the Dean of Architecture with responsibility for advising students seeking admission to the School.” Nancy Reeves, from her obituary, “married Kelly R. McAdams of Aus�n in 1950, while both were seniors in the School of Architecture at The University of Texas at Aus�n. A�er gradua�ng in 1951, they prac�ced architecture together and as members of other firms. Pursuing an interest in research, Nancy returned to campus in 1961 and earned a Master of Library Science degree. In 1965 she began 20 years of service to the University, first as manager of the Architecture Library; then as Associate Director of General Libraries; as the Libraries project director for construc�on and occupancy of the Perry-Castaneda Library, Fine Arts Library and several other campus libraries; and finally as Associate Director of the Office of Planning Services, where she facilitated new construc�on and renova�on projects of all kinds for the Main and …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS MAY 7, 2025 SB-2025-030746 CONGRESS AVENUE HISTORIC DISTRICT 600 CONGRESS AVENUE 15.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Install a sign on a non-contributing building in a historic district. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Fabrication and installation of a sign for a Chick-fil-A restaurant on the 6th Street façade of 600 Congress Avenue. The proposed signage is larger than what is currently in place for the same tenant at the location. 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: New Signage 1. Number of signs The guidelines state that one sign may be approved per façade module. While there are two existing small signs for this tenant (including a blade and a wall sign) that will be retained, neither are exactly within the façade module where the proposed is to be installed. However, allowing for three total signs for one tenant may not be in keeping with intention of the design standards. 2. Sign types Proposed sign is flush mounted to the wall and is not proposed to project out any further than the depth of the sign assembly. The sign is not proposed to be anchored into masonry, so there are no concerns about potential damage to historic material. 3. Sign size Proposed size is around 15 square feet, under the maximum allowable size of 20 square feet. 4. Sign design, coloring and materials Two options for colors are proposed, either white and red or black and red. Either of these options is approvable. Material is proposed to be acrylic with trimless channel illumination. 5. Lettering Lettering is one font and in keeping with the brand. 6. Lighting Sign will be internally lit, which is not allowed by the design guidelines for cabinet signs. However, this is not a true rectangular cabinet sign, and illumination would be consistent across the width without “hot zones.” 8. Sign placement Proposed location is above the entrance, in the location of a similar sign which will be replaced. Bottom of sign is above the required 9 feet, and it does not cover architectural features. 9. Sign mounting Sign is proposed to be mounted to a new storefront design, which will not negatively impact the masonry behind it. Summary The project meets some of the applicable standards. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the application, but recommend …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS MAY 7, 2025 PR-2024-161005; GF-2024-161886 4517 AVENUE D 16.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1946 house and carport. ARCHITECTURE The building is a side-gabled Minimal Traditional house with single-hung metal windows and a rectangular plan. RESEARCH The house at 4517 Avenue D was built in 1946 by the Floyd C. Gaines Company. Its first resident, Lula Meek, was a widow. She rented a room to bookkeeper and fellow widow Vera Lockhart. By the mid-1950s, the house was sold to the Walther family. Victor Walther was a stonemason. He and his wife, Pearl, lived at 4517 Avenue D until 1956. PROPERTY EVALUATION The 2020 North Central historic resource survey lists the property as contributing to potential local and National Register historic districts. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria for landmark designation: a. Architecture. The building is constructed in the Minimal Traditional style according to the North Central survey. b. Historical association. The property does not appear to have significant historical associations. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d. Community value. The property does not possess a unique location, physical characteristic, or significant feature that contributes to the character, image, or cultural identity of the city, the neighborhood, or a particular demographic group. e. Landscape feature. The property is not a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, aesthetic, cultural, or historical value to the city.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS MAY 7, 2025 PR-2025-042345; GF-2025-045588 1010 WEST JOHANNA STREET 17.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1935 house. ARCHITECTURE The modest house at 1010 West Johanna Street is located in the Bouldin Creek survey area, set on pier-and-beam foundation with a vented concrete skirt on all sides. The main house features a side gable roof, with a front porch extending towards the street covered by a front gable. This front porch extends across the middle half of the house and is supported by decorative metal supports at the corners. One 6/6 window, likely a replacement, is present at the front elevation, along with a non-original sliding doorway. All sides of the house are clad in narrow teardrop siding painted pink. Roof overhangs are modest, and, apart from the front door and window, most other architectural elements appear to be original. RESEARCH From its construction around 1935 until at least the 1960s, the house at 1010 West Johanna Street was occupied by renters who worked various jobs around the city, including drivers, delivery people, and general laborers. Most newspaper listings that referenced this address were for rentals of the four-room cottage, as well as birth notifications, which indicates the typical age of residents as well as the turnover of renters at the address. PROPERTY EVALUATION The 2015 Bouldin Creek Historic Resource Survey lists the property as a medium priority. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building is a good example of simple residential bungalow architecture from its period of construction in the Bouldin Creek area. b. Historical association. The property does not appear to have significant historical associations. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d. Community value. The property does not possess a unique location, physical characteristic, or significant feature that contributes to the character, image, or cultural identity of the city, the neighborhood, or a particular demographic group. e. Landscape feature. The property is not a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, aesthetic, cultural, or historical value to the city. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Encourage …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS MAY 7, 2025 PR-2025-043280; GF-2025-045598 2907 BEANNA STREET 18.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1929 house. ARCHITECTURE Built in the Craftsman style with Tudor Revival elements, the house at 2907 Beanna Street is a single-story residence built on pier and beam foundation with a moderate-to-highly pitched roof, exaggerating the verticality common to the Tudor style. The most prominent feature is the brick chimney near the center of the front elevation, which is multi-tonal and textured brick and features two curves that taper its width as it extends above the front wall.
