HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JULY 3, 2024 HR-2024-074315 WEST LINE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1205 WEST 10TH STREET 14 – 1 PROPOSAL Remodel a ca. 1929 house. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Replace windows and doors. The proposed new windows are aluminum-clad wood 1:1 double-hungs at the main elevation, and divided-lite casements at secondary elevations. No changes to openings are proposed within 15’ of the front of the house. The proposed new door is a half-lite door matching the existing size and placement. The secondary door will be replaced with a window of the same head-height as the existing door. 2) Replace stone veneer at secondary elevations with brick. 3) Repaint existing siding and trim. ARCHITECTURE One-story house with basement. The house is front-gabled with a partial-width porch and wood windows with 1:1 screens. The corrugated metal roof, with exposed rafter tails and triangular brackets at eaves, is supported at the main elevation by wrought metal columns. The porch gable features decorative bargeboards. The house is clad in horizontal wood siding, with masonry skirting at basement level. The house at 1205 W. 10th Street was constructed around 1929. Its first occupants were Ray and Elsie Glenn. Ray Glenn worked as a hoseman with Engine No. 2 at the Austin Fire Department. By the early 1940s, Frank and Elvira E. Cerniglia had purchased the home, remaining there until at least 1959. Frank Cerniglia worked as a painter and was employed by Seton Hospital during the late 1940s and ‘50s.

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 was constructed with Craftsman influences. 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.

Landscape feature. The property is not a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, aesthetic, 14 – 2 cultural, or historical value to the city. COMMITTEE FEEDBACK Retain original street-facing windows. Do not alter façade; repair like-for-like where required. Retain double entry if possible, keeping top and side trim if converted to window.
