HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS SEPTEMBER 27, 2021 PR-2021-121884 1204 E. 6TH STREET D.6 – 1 PROPOSAL Relocate a ca. 1900 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story wing-and-gable Folk Victorian house with traditional cornice returns and eave detailing at gable end, a partial- width inset front porch with shed roof supported by chamfered columns with molding, a split transom window above the front door, and 4:4 paired and single wood windows throughout. Archival photos show that the porch’s jigsawn trim has been removed. The date of the house is uncertain. While the house appears to be ca. 1900, occupants are listed as early as 1885 at an earlier address for the property. Sanborn Fire Insurance maps first show this area in 1894, and the house has the same footprint. Travis Central Appraisal District records list the date as 1907. Wastewater service was first supplied in 1917. Frank Torrens, a German carpenter and woodcarver, lived at 1206 E. Pecan/E. 6th St. between 1885 and 1888. It briefly served as a boardinghouse. Frank Zakrison lived in the house from 1903–1935, and Lillie and Anna Zakrison also lived in the house during that time. Frank Zakrison was a listed as a baker and owning a bakery at 1200 E. 6th Street in the 1912 directory. Lillie Zakrison owned the house in 1935. The lot next door to 1204 E. 6th St., which later became a tortilleria in the mid-twentieth century, was occupied by another Swedish family, the Malmbergs, during the time of the Zakrisons' residence at the turn of the century. This contextual evidence speaks to a close-knit community of recent Swedish immigrants to Austin in the area, as well as the later shift from European immigrants to Mexican American families in the general area. The house was occupied by renters from 1937–1944, notably the Sandoval family rented the house from 1941–1944. Flavio C. Sandoval was a prominent Mexican American grocer who had at least two retail locations at 1103 E. 6th and 1200 Rosewood Ave. Fermin G. and Cristina Sanchez occupied the house from 1947–1959 first listed as renters and later as owners. Fermin Sanchez worked as a construction worker and laborer. PROPERTY EVALUATION The East Austin Historic Resources Survey (Hardy Heck Moore, Inc., 2016) recommends this house as a potential local landmark as well as contributing to the potential East Sixth Street Historic District, which is recommended as eligible for local or National Register designation. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building retains a moderate degree of integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (Land Development Code §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it may meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building is a good example of a Folk Victorian house. b. Historical association. The house is associated with both specific families, the Zakrisons and Sandovals, and eastside demographic shifts that defined Austin's transition from the nineteenth to twentieth centuries. The East Austin Historic Resource Survey identifies these demographic changes as indicative of and affected by the general development patterns precipitated by the arrival of the railroad and the implementation of segregationist planning in the 1920s and 1950s. 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, D.6 – 2 cultural, or historical value to the city. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Consider initiation of historic zoning. Should the Commission instead choose to release the relocation permit, require completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package, consisting of 8 x 10” photographs of all elevations printed on photographic paper, a dimensioned sketch plan, and a narrative history for archiving at the Austin History Center, prior to release of the permit. LOCATION MAP D.6 – 3 PROPERTY INFORMATION Photos D.6 – 4 East Austin Historic Resource Survey, H-H-M, Inc., 2016 D.6 – 5 Demolition application, 2021 2011 Google Street View image showing 4:4 windows. D.6 – 6 Ca. 1980 survey photo showing missing jigsawn trim at porch.
