HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS APRIL 26, 2021 HR-2021-044123 907 WEST 22ND ½ STREET D.10 – 1 Relocate a ca. 1926 house to a property outside the city limits. PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH STAFF COMMENTS One-story cross-gabled Craftsman bungalow clad in horizontal wood siding, with 1:1 wood windows covered by 6:1 wood screens and a partial-width porch supported by masonry piers and tapered wood box columns. Decorative details include exposed rafters, triangular knee braces, and jigsawn bargeboards. A flat-roofed, asbestos-shingle-clad addition extends to the rear of the original building. The house at 907 W 22nd ½ Street was built in 1926 for Percy A. McDannell and his family. McDannell, an adjuster for the State Board of Industrial Accidents, lived there for about ten years with his mother and daughter. By 1937, the home had become a rental property; notable renters included Grady Faubion, treasurer of the Lower Colorado River Authority, and his wife and son. By 1952, the home had been sold to Henry H. and Alma Hunt. Henry H. Hunt worked as an assistant auditor at the State Employment Commission. Alma Hunt lived in the home until at least 1959. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old 2) The building retains high material and design integrity but has lost its integrity of setting. 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 the Craftsman style. b. Historical association. The building does not appear to have significant historical associations, though its occupancy history exhibits typical development and settlement patterns of the middle class in early twentieth- century Austin. 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 rehabilitation and adaptive re-use, then release the permit upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package. LOCATION MAP D.10 – 2 PROPERTY INFORMATION Photos D.10 – 3 Source: H-H-M, Inc., 2020  D.10 – 4  D.10 – 5 Source: Applicant, 2021 D.10 – 6 Occupancy History: City Directory Research, March 2021 1959 Alma Hunt, owner 1957 Alma Hunt, owner 1955 Henry H. and Alma Hunt, owners Assistant state auditor, State Employment Commission 1952 Henry H. and Alma Hunt, owners Assistant state auditor, State Employment Commission 1949 Henry H. and Elma E.
