Stone Wall Disassembly & Reassembly Plan Location: 507 E 10th St Prepared by: AGC Home Remodeling Objective To carefully disassemble and reassemble the existing stone wall while preserving the original layout, structural integrity, and aesthetic. This will be achieved through systematic stone numbering, detailed documentation, and careful handling. Step-by-Step Plan 1. Pre-Work Preparation ● Photograph the entire wall from multiple angles (close-up and wide shots). ● Create a labeled elevation sketch of the wall to track stone placement. ● Assign a team lead to manage documentation and stone tracking throughout the process. 2. Stone Numbering & Mapping ● Each stone will be marked with a removable, weather-resistant tag or labeled with chalk/marker on the reverse side. ● Numbering will proceed row by row (left to right, bottom to top). ● A corresponding map and photo reference will be maintained to ensure accurate reassembly. 3. Disassembly Process ● Begin from the top row and carefully remove each stone. ● Stones will be handled manually or with soft tools to avoid breakage. ● Each stone will be placed on padded pallets or in labeled bins by row and number. ● Mortar will be cleaned off where appropriate, and any loose debris removed. 4. Storage & Protection ● All stones will be stored on-site in a covered, secure area. ● Labeled and separated by section to ensure efficient reassembly. ● Tarp or temporary fencing may be used for additional protection. 5. Reassembly Process ● Reinstall stones in reverse order of disassembly using the labeled plan and photo references. ● Mortar and joints will be matched as closely as possible to the original appearance. ● Repointing will follow standard masonry best practices and meet local code requirements. ● Final inspection to ensure appearance and structure matches original condition. Materials & Tools ● Numbering materials (tags, chalk, markers) ● Pallets or bins for stone organization ● Hand tools for mortar removal and stone handling ● Mortar mix to match existing ● Protective coverings for stone storage Estimated Timeline: Estimated disassembly: 4 - 8 Weeks Storage & preparation: 4 Weeks Reassembly: 4 - 8 weeks Total estimated time: 12 - 20 Weeks Notes ● Any damaged or deteriorated stones will be noted and reviewed with the client before replacement. ● All work will be performed in accordance with local building codes and preservation standards.
11.0 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS AUGUST 6, 2025 HR-2025-070336 GRAVES HOUSE 2 GREEN LANES PROPOSAL Expand a second-floor addition and construct a housing unit. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Construct a larger second floor space on a non-original side addition. 2) Construct a housing unit at the rear of the property, detached from the historic building. 3) Repair and rebuild retaining wall at the front of the property where necessary. ARCHITECTURE 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: Residential additions 1. Location Addition is located at the side and rear of the original building, behind the garage wing. At the second floor, the addition will be set over the existing garage. 2. Scale, massing, and height The addition is an expansion of one corner of the first floor only, and the appearance is keeping with several projecting rooms at the rear of the buildings, such as at the sunroom extension at the southeast corner. The wraparound porch will be minimally visible from the front of the house. 3. Design and style Details of the second-floor porch are simple and compatible with the main house. Two glazed doorways will open to the porch but appear simple and centered on the addition. 4. Roofs The roof is proposed to be a …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS AUGUST 6, 2025 SB-2025-085188 CONGRESS AVENUE HISTORIC DISTRICT 609 CONGRESS AVENUE 12.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Install a sign. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct a 51 square foot sign on the front of a two-story building in a historic district. 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 Proposal is for one sign for a single tenant. 2. Sign types Application details an awning sign, which is a typology allowed by signage guidelines. 3. Sign size Proposed sign is just over 50 square feet in size. Awning signs are allowed to be the lesser of 8 square feet or 20% of the awning panel, which this proposal far exceeds. However, it is noted that the sign it proposes to replace is a similar size and its permit was approved in 2010. 4. Sign design, coloring and materials The design is simple and uses less than three colors. There is a black block with lettering as well as individual standalone lettering on the left half of the assembly. 5. Lettering Two typefaces are used, one of which is stylized to fit the brand of the tenant. It does not appear as too contemporary, however. 6. Lighting Documentation indicates that the sign will be lit internally. Historic sign guidelines state that internally lit cabinet signs are specifically prohibited within historic districts. 8. Sign placement Sign is placed near entrance, above the minimum required height, and centered on the awning. 9. Sign mounting It is assumed that the proposed sign will reuse the mounting elements or locations of the previous sign, which was installed in the same area. Summary The project [meets / does not meet / meets some of] the applicable standards. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Congress Avenue National Register district. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the sign’s size, given the previously installed signage in the same location. Do not approve internal lighting design and request indirect lighting.
