Page 1 of 1 page

TO: Planning Commission, Mayor, and Council Members FROM: Historic Landmark Commission DATE: February 7th, 2024 SUBJECT: Historic Pecan Grove Threatened at Edward Rendon Sr. Park The Historic Landmark Commission has been made aware of a pecan grove, located in Edward Rendon Sr. Park at Festival Beach, that the Texas Department of Transportation’s I-35 Expansion Environmental Impact Statement proposes to remove as part of a construction easement outside the existing Right-of-Way. The grove is identified by a granite marker, dedicated to the City of Austin in 1964 as part of early efforts by City Council’s Town Lake Beautification Committee We believe this grove of pecans rises to the status of a local, character-defining, culturally significant, contributing resource of the City of Austin. The Land Development Code entrusts City staff with the health of the Urban Forest, including accurate tree data ground surveys of Heritage trees … according to City of Austin, Environmental Criteria Manual 3.3.2 — General Tree Survey Standards. We recommend direction be given to the City Arborist to identify individual specimens and assess the overall likely boundaries of the Pecan Grove, in order to facilitate our best efforts at perservering this irreplacable resource.

10 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS JANUARY 10, 2024 HR-2023-160702 NICHOLS-GELLMAN BUILDING 201-207 EAST SIXTH STREET PROPOSAL Convert a historic landmark to a restaurant from a bar. The proposed remodel is based on the era beginning in 1933 and extending to the 1950s, from which most of the photographic documentation of the building’s exterior has been sourced. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Install a new metal and glass storefront that references the historic proportions in 1950s photos. 2) Repair brick and stucco as needed. 3) Remove the non-original balcony at the north elevation. 4) Replace the non-original arched storefronts with squared ones to restore historic proportions. 5) Repair existing upper windows as needed at the north elevation. 6) Repair windows at the west elevation, replacing them in kind when necessary. Install new windows beneath the existing ones, with metal detailing used to express the connection between the new and old windows. Two existing windows are proposed to be removed and infilled with salvaged brick obtained during the construction of the new windows. ARCHITECTURE Built in 1872, 201-207 E 6th Street is a two-story brick and stone commercial structure. The original brick cornice detailing remains intact, though the front has been altered throughout the years and now features arched openings. The secondary façade (west) on Brazos Street is exposed brick and has small windows on the ground level. 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 includes mostly repairs, with some intact historic material removed from the secondary façade and reused as infill. Replacement elements appear sourced from photos taken during the historic period. 4. Exterior walls and trim See 1. Proposed patching will be completed using salvaged material from the same building. 5. Windows, doors, and screens The proposal includes repair of existing windows, with replacement in-kind at secondary elevations only if deterioration precludes repair. It includes new openings at the secondary street-facing elevation; however, openings do appear limited, appropriate for the building, and compatible with the architectural character. The proposal fills two windows at the secondary façade. 11. Commercial storefronts The proposed storefront appears mostly based on historic photos; however, care should be taken to preserve …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS DECEMBER 13, 2023 HR-2023-122500; GF-2023-130943 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK 1010 HARWOOD PLACE PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish a ca. 1935 house and construct a new residence, ADU, and pool. The proposed new primary building is two stories, clad in stucco and horizontal siding and capped with a standing seam metal roof. It has a compound roofline and undivided fixed windows of varying proportions placed at irregular intervals throughout. The proposed ADU is two stories in height and constructed to match the main house. It has a rear-facing garage. The original portion of the house at 1010 Harwood Place is one story, with a symmetrical plan and side-gabled roof. Its central stoop is sheltered by a gabled portico with Classical Revival columns and traditional cornice returns. The house has a two-story rear addition and gabled side addition with fireplace, mostly constructed within the period of significance. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH 1010 Harwood Place was constructed around 1935. Early residents included Hoyt and Jessie Henderson, who rented the property. Hoyt Henderson was the chief operator at the Western Union Telephone Company. The house was sold to C. Morley and Frances Bartholemew, who lived there throughout the 1940s. Morley Bartholemew worked as a salesman and an engineer. During the 1950s, Raymond Williams, who worked for the Western Republic Life Insurance Company, purchased the home. 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: Residential new construction 1. Location The proposed main building is located 25’ from the primary street, and the rear building and garage are located to the rear of the primary building and adjacent to the alley. 2. Orientation The primary building is oriented toward Harwood Place, and the secondary structure toward the alley. 3. Scale, massing, and height Both buildings are larger in scale and taller in height than the surrounding contributing buildings. Their massing does not appear to reflect surrounding contributing buildings’ massing. 4. Proportions The buildings’ proportions do not appear compatible with surrounding contributing buildings’ proportions. 5. Design and style Both buildings are consistent in design and style, but do not reflect the character of the district. 6. Roofs The proposed rooflines are generally more complex than contributing buildings’ rooflines, though …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JANUARY 10, 2024 PR-2023-155098 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK NATIONAL REGISTER DISTRICT 402 LOCKHART DRIVE 14 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS Partially demolish and remodel a ca. 1939 house. One- and one-half story cross-gabled house with modern shed-roof two-story addition at rear; features horizontal wood siding, a partial-width porch, and 1:1 wood windows. The house at 402 Lockhart Drive was constructed in 1939 by T. C. Steiner. Its first owner, electrician Durward Waggoner, lived there only a year before selling the house to Mozelle and John T. Warren. John Warren worked as a public health instructor. The Warrens lived in the home until the end of the 1950s. The house then became a rental property, housing short-term occupants including a construction foreman and a National Guardsman. 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 design standards apply to the proposed project: Residential additions 1. Location The proposed additions are located atop the existing house. 2. Scale, massing, and height The proposed additions substantially increase the scale and height of the existing 1 ½ -story house and bring the bulk of the massing to the front elevation. 3. Design and style The proposed design and style are mostly appropriate. 4. Roofs The proposed compound roofline is more complex than the contributing rooflines in the district. 5. Exterior walls The proposed siding is appropriate. 6. Windows, screens, and doors The proposed fenestration appears compatible. 9. Attached garages and carports The proposed front-facing garage is not compatible with the district. Summary The project meets some of the applicable standards, though it changes the contributing building entirely. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate integrity. A two-story addition and fence were added in 2017. The original window screens have been removed. 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 does not appear to convey architectural significance. b. Historical association. The property does not appear to have significant historical associations. c. Archaeology. The property was not …
