Historic Landmark Commission Supplemental Owner Provided Information 1810 Dexter Street, Austin, Texas 78704 PR-2022-116243; GF-2022-120476 September 7, 2022 Owner Statement Although we recognize the significant mid-century architectural contributions made by Architect A.D. Stenger, the integrity of the original design of 1810 Dexter has been irrevocably compromised by demolition of original elements and multiple structural additions to the front and rear of the home. These modifications not only compromised the design integrity and historical significance, but more than likely have contributed to the structural failures present in the home's current condition. The property owner does not wish to pursue historical designation. The property owner respectfully requests that the Commission decline to initiate historic zoning on the property and release the demolition permit for approval. Because the property presents a potential hazard to health or safety, the owner intends to demolish the structure upon issuance and release of the demolition permit. Property Overview 1810 Dexter was originally built in 1953. The property was purchased by the current owner on March 28, 2022. The buyer performed a general condition assessment of the structure, interior finish, and lot at the time of purchase. Available City of Austin building permits and associated records pertaining to the property were also reviewed. The assessment concluded that the property is distressed, with obvious indications that the foundation and structural components are significantly compromised. The purchase price did not reflect fair market value based on the known and obviously identified structural integrity and related issues, including the following: ● Significant site drainage issues surrounding the addition at the front of the house; ● Identified sub-slab water infiltration preferential pathways; ● Structural load path defects and resulting major cracking and shifting of framing components; ● Sloping and sagging foundation, despite a previously permitted and completed foundation repair in 2012 that included the installation of 37 piers below the slab on grade foundation; ● Significant interior water damage, including subfloor damage and bowing and sloping floors; and ● The presence of mold. 1810 Dexter Street is not located in a historical district. Since original construction the residential structure has been modified and expanded. The following permits were approved and received final building inspections by the City of Austin: ● 1996-015197 BP "Addn to Exist Living Room For Sf Residence"; 9/25/1996 ● 1999-008101 BP "Demo Existing Front Patios/Wd Decks/ Carport"; 8/5/1999 ● 1999-010916 BP "Addn To Mstrbdrm / Bth / Dining / …
Historic Design Standards City of Austin September 2022 Welcome In Austin, historic preservation encourages the preservation of historic buildings, structures, sites, and districts; promotes awareness of cultural and architectural heritage; and helps shape a more sustainable, equitable, and livable place. As the city grows, these Historic Design Standards will help property owners, designers, builders, and historic preservation professionals make consistent decisions about how to meet present-day needs while stewarding local built heritage and achieving larger goals. Clear standards and graphics show good practices, as well as changes to avoid. The Historic Design Standards were created by a working group representing property owners, designers, developers, advocates, and the Historic Landmark Commission. The working group sought to develop locally relevant standards grounded in national preservation principles. Many members are laypeople, and readability was a key concern: the standards needed to be understandable by property owners and neighbors considering whether to apply for historic district designation, as well as by architects. A Maintenance and Preservation chapter and illustrated glossary support those who want to learn more about architectural elements and materials. The Historic Design Standards promote long-term sustainability by supporting the retention and repair of existing buildings, which keep tons of old-growth wood and other material in use and out of the landfill. They also support sustainable solutions for making buildings more energy efficient now, from high-impact improvements like attic insulation and duct sealing to DIY changes such as weather-stripping around windows and doors. Historic Preservation Office staff are available to answer questions and provide feedback on proposed projects. Reach out to preservation@austintexas.gov or call (512) 974-3393. Left cover image: People looking out over Austin, ca. 1940s Acknowledgments Design Standards Working Group The Historic Landmark Commission created the Design Standards Working Group on September 24, 2018 to create a new set of historic design standards, with the goals of providing clear, user-friendly standards and guidelines for all historic property owners and of simplifying the historic district application process. This document is the product of the working group’s efforts and is modeled on the Preservation Austin design standards template produced through a community initiative in April 2011.

Frequently Asked Questions This FAQ sheet is intended to provide a brief orientation to the Historic Design Standards. Please contact preservation@austintexas.gov if you have further questions. 1 Why were the Historic Design Standards I own a property in a locally designated historic developed? Don’t we already have standards for district. How will the Historic Design Standards 3 historic properties? affect me? The Historic Design Standards were developed to clarify existing standards for historic landmarks and National Register districts. They will also make the historic district application process easier and more equitable for new districts. The Historic Design Standards will not affect previously agreed-upon design standards for existing historic districts. They do align with existing district design standards and may be adopted by property owners within each district if desired. The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation form the foundation of preservation practice in the United States and are used in Austin to evaluate proposed changes to historic landmarks and in National Register districts. However, these very general standards can be hard to interpret when planning and evaluating specific projects. The Historic Design Standards clarify them with more specific good practices and illustrations. Right now, community members compiling a historic district application must hire a consultant or learn how to develop their own design standards. Then multiple rounds of review are required with other property owners and City staff. This adds time and cost to the application process—and results in design standards that are nearly identical to those for other districts. The Historic Design Standards will provide a consistent, predictable set of standards for all areas considering historic district designation. I own a historic landmark. How will the Historic 2 Design Standards affect me? If adopted by City Council, the Historic Design Standards will clarify existing standards for exterior changes to historic landmarks, as well as new construction on landmarked properties. The Historic Design Standards are based on the standards that City staff and the Historic Landmark Commission already use to evaluate projects. However, they are clearer, more specific, and easier to use. No process changes are proposed. 4 I own a property in a National Register district. How will the Historic Design Standards affect me? If adopted by City Council, the Historic Design Standards will clarify existing guidelines for National Register district properties. The Historic Design Standards are based on the standards that City staff and the Historic Landmark …
September 2, 2022 Terri Myers, Chair City of Austin Historic Landmark Commission Re: Proposed Historic Design Standards Dear Ms. Myers, Preservation Austin exists to empower Austinites to shape a more inclusive, resilient, and meaningful community culture through preservation. We write today to reiterate our support of the Historic Preservation Office's proposed Historic Design Standards. Our organization wrote a letter in support of the design standards in 2020. Since then, the landscape of preservation in Austin has shifted dramatically, making the adoption of the standards an even greater priority. Having a set of clear, citywide design standards is integral to the success of the forthcoming Equity-Based Historic Preservation Plan, which seeks to outline strategies to protect our diverse built and cultural heritage. In the spirit of the plan, these standards will increase equity and accessibility in Austin’s local historic district application process. Our organization has adopted Underrepresented Heritage as an Advocacy Priority for the past three years and has committed to identifying, protecting, and celebrating sites associated with under-told histories. We see the citywide design standards as an encouragement to many groups who would not have the time or resources to develop unique standards for their proposed district. With recent changes in state law making the creation of local historic districts even more challenging, lessening the barriers to designation and the protections it provides is critical. The design standards will also streamline the Historic Landmark Commission process for city staff, developers, and advocates alike by providing clear and consistent standards. We believe this will create a more efficient and effective process for the benefit of all. We also believe the standards support the preservation of our city's diverse heritage, for the people of Austin, in a way that's compatible with increasing density. From commercial districts to neighborhoods, the standards provide guidance for balancing much-needed density with much-needed preservation and lay out a clear roadmap to achieving both of these goals. The standards also eliminate inconsistencies in the process, enabling builders and developers to work within a clear framework while providing the flexibility needed to be site-specific and creative. Preservation Austin encourages the Historic Landmark Commission to support the proposed Historic Design Standards. We know they will be an asset to our city for years to come. Thank you for your service to the community, Linda Y. Jackson, President
November 13, 2020 Terri Myers, Chair City of Austin Historic Landmark Commission Re: Proposed Historic Design Standards Dear Ms. Myers, Preservation Austin exists to empower Austinites to shape a more inclusive, resilient, and meaningful community culture through preservation. We write today to respectfully support Austin's Historic Preservation Office's proposed Historic Design Standards. We commend the time-intensive and community-focused efforts of the working group and the Historic Preservation Office staff. We believe that the design standards will increase equity and accessibility in Austin’s local historic district application process. Preservation Austin has adopted Underrepresented Heritage as an FY21 Advocacy Priority. We see the citywide design standards as an encouragement to many groups who would not have the time or money to develop unique standards for their proposed district. We are optimistic the design standards will encourage new local district applications. At the same time, these design standards will streamline the Historic Landmark Commission process for city staff and advocates alike by providing clear and consistent standards. We believe this will create a more efficient and effective process for the benefit of all. We also believe the standards support the preservation of our city's diverse heritage, for the people of Austin, in a way that's compatible with increasing density. Preservation Austin knows how crucial density is for Austin's future and appreciate that the standards do not discourage density but rather recognizes that it can occur alongside preserving our historic neighborhoods. Preservation Austin encourages the Historic Landmark Commission to support the proposed Historic Design Standards. We know they will be an asset to our city for years to come. We again recognize the dedication that went into creating these standards and hope to see them adopted. Thank you for your service to the community, Clayton Bullock, President
December 11, 2020 Honorable Mayor Adler Honorable City Council Members City Manager Spencer Cronk Re: Historic Design Standards Recommendation Dear Mayor and City Council Members, Given that Architects will be some of the primary users of the proposed Historic Design Standards, AIA Austin has been closely following their development and adoption process. With several of our members serving on the Historic Landmark Commission’s Design Standards Working Group, we are pleased to have been a major stakeholder and contributor in this endeavor. As no city adopted design standards exist today, there is little guidance in the current historic preservation process. Therefore, we believe this document is an important tool as it will finally provide a consistent and predictable set of design standards for Historic Landmarks, National Register District properties, and future local Historic Districts in Austin. Further, it will provide for a clearer application process, making historic designations easier to attain and in a more equitable way. While we would like to see a little more guidance for building elements related to adaptive reuse, as found in the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards, we recognize that this document is meant to serve all building types and believe it is a great step forward for the city. As outlined in the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan, the city should strive to maintain and preserve our historic resources. To this end, AIA Austin supports the work done by the Historic Preservation Office, and the Design Standards Working Group, and strongly encourages City Council to adopt the Historic Design Standards. Sincerely, Eric Rauser, AIA AIA Austin President The American Institute of Architects AIA Austin 801 W. 12th Street Austin, TX 78701-1709 512-452-4332 www.aiaaustin.org

1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION BRIEFING SEPTEMBER 7, 2022 Historic preservation is a tool to steward change. 2 Design standards provide a clear, objective way to evaluate proposed changes. DESIGN STANDARDS Historic districts 3 Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation 1. A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal change to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships. 2. The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a property will be avoided. 3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or elements from other historic properties, will not be undertaken. 4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained and preserved. 5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved. 6. Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design, color, texture, and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence. 7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used. 8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment. 10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS AUGUST 3, 2022 PR-2022-002404 & GF-2022-016498; 1315 & 1317 NEWNING AVE 13 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE Demolish two existing contributing buildings located in the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register District, which are 1315 Newning Ave. (ca. 1940) and 1317 Newning Ave (ca. 1915) on one parcel. Demolish all impervious cover and a third structure to the rear, between 1315 & 1317 Newning Avenue. 1317 Newning Ave. is a modest, single-story Greek Revival house with a rectangular plan on a pier and beam foundation, with a low-pitched, hipped metal roof. The residence has a full-width entry porch supported by pilasters and a single masonry chimney. A single-entry door and transom are flanked by two rectangular windows on the symmetrical façade, while three pairs of similar rectangular windows transverse the south elevation. 1315 Newning Ave. is a simple, single-story wood frame house of Minimal Traditional Style, circa 1940 with horizontal wood siding and a front-gabled asphalt roof. It has a small, lower gable roof extension on simple posts with concrete steps, forming a front porch over an off-center single-door entry. The façade contains two sets of rectangular windows on either side of the entrance, which appears to be 1:1 with aluminum replacement screens. RESEARCH 1315 Newning was constructed in the early 1940s. Research indicated water tap permits in 1951. It served as a rental property for most of its lifespan. In 1955, Richard D. and Hilda R. Rylander rented 1315 Newning Avenue. Richard was an accountant for the State Insurance Board. In 1957, Jack and Alma Clark became the new tenants. Jack was listed as serving with the United States Air Force. According to City directories, the house at 1315 Newning was vacant in 1959. 1317 Newning was built circa 1915. The first known mention by a city directory of this address was in 1916, when Guy and Beulah Cannon purchased the property. Guy was a local car salesman. After 1920, the property was then purchased by Jerome B. Wheatley, a sergeant for the Texas Rangers. Jerome Wheatley was hand-picked by Governor Pat Neff (term 1921-1925) to serve in the Texas Rangers1. Sergeant Wheatley was also a former Potter County Sheriff (1894-98), Moore County Sheriff, and Chief of Police for Amarillo2. According to City Directories, Captain Wheatley lived at the residence from at least 1922-1927, during which he was appointed to the Rangers …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS AUGUST 3, 2022 HR-2022-026102 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK 1205 ALTA VISTA AVENUE 12 – 1 Demolish existing two-story duplex and secondary building and construct a new three-story single-family house. PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS 1) Demolish existing house and rear garage apartment. 2) Construct a three-story house. The proposed building is flat-roofed and clad in stucco, board-and-batten, tongue-and- groove siding, and cedar slats. Fenestration includes fixed undivided windows and casement windows with irregular spacing, proportions, and orientation throughout; a front-facing garage; and sliding glass doors. The primary building at 1205 Alta Vista Avenue is a two-story cross-gabled duplex with horizontal siding, 6:6 wood windows, arched six-light accent windows, and composition shingle roof. 1205 Alta Vista Avenue was constructed around 1939 for Mary G. Sanders, along with a garage.1 A rear dwelling unit was constructed later. It appears to have been constructed as a duplex, and mostly housed two families in the main building and one in the rear unit. Renters were largely short-term and included a cattle buyer, a meat inspector, a bookkeepers, students, and oil company employees. 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 new building is set back approximately 25’, in line with historic-age buildings on the street. 2. Orientation The proposed new building’s orientation is consistent with the predominant orientation of contributing buildings on the same block. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed new building is three stories, while nearby contributing buildings are one and two stories; its floor-to-floor and foundation height does not appear consistent with nearby contributing buildings. Its monolithic massing is not compatible with the district. 4. Proportions The proposed building’s proportions are not compatible with those of contributing buildings on the block. 5. Design and style The proposed building is differentiated from historic buildings and its details are consistent with its style, but its overall design is at odds with the historic district in terms of scale, massing, proportions, patterns, and some materials. 1 "Real Estate Transaction 1 -- no Title."

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS AUGUST 3, 2022 HR-2022-070860 TRAVIS HEIGHTS - FAIRVIEW PARK 407 E. MONROE STREET 15 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1937 garage apartment and construct a new building. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish garage apartment. 2) Construct a new building. The proposed building is split-leveled, with two stories plus basement and attic. It is clad in stucco, brick, and fiber cement siding. Its compound gabled roof is clad with matching standing-seam metal. Fenestration is irregular throughout and features a fully glazed multilight front door, front-facing garage door, and fixed undivided windows of varying proportions. ARCHITECTURE Two-story stucco garage apartment with screened wood windows, triangular brackets at overhanging first-floor eaves, and partially glazed entry door and garage doors facing the primary street frontage. 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 building appears to be constructed at the site of the existing building, next to the primary structure. 2. Orientation The proposed building appears to be oriented toward the street, as is the existing structure. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed building’s massing is somewhat more complex than the existing simple rectangular garage apartment. Its height is similar. 4. Proportions The proposed building’s irregular proportions do not appear compatible with the surrounding historic district. 5. Design and style The proposed building’s design, while consistent, does not appear to relate to the surrounding district. 6. Roofs The steeply pitched open gables do not appear compatible with the existing primary building, though the applicant has removed flat roof elements to enhance compatibility. 7. Exterior walls The proposed building’s exterior wall materials have been changed to represent Committee feedback, rendering the project more compatible. 8. Windows and doors The proposed building’s irregular fenestration and undivided lights do not reflect the character of the district, though fenestration has been altered to enhance compatibility. Summary The project meets some applicable standards. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register district. COMMITTEE FEEDBACK Include divided lights in windows. Implement design changes to reduce building height and increase cohesion with streetscape at roofline and garage. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Release the demolition permit upon completion of a City …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS AUGUST 3, 2022 HR-2022-067914 TRAVIS HEIGHTS - FAIRVIEW PARK 2107 BRACKENRIDGE STREET 16 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish ca. 1946 house and ca. 1940 accessory building and construct a new duplex. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish existing buildings and construct a new duplex. The proposed duplex has a compound flat and gabled roof clad in standing-seam metal. Its exterior cladding includes stucco, diagonal wood siding, and stone. Fenestration is irregular throughout and includes undivided fixed and casement windows and full height sliding doors. ARCHITECTURE One-story cross-gabled house with horizontal siding, 1:1 windows, and rear two-story garage apartment. RESEARCH The primary building at 2107 Brackenridge Street was built in 1946 in front of an existing garage apartment, built 1940, which was converted to a duplex in 1949. Its residents included a cleaner, two carpenters, a rental property manager, and a tailor. 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 duplex is located approximately 50’ from Brackenridge Street. 2. Orientation The front unit of the proposed duplex is oriented toward the primary streetscape. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed duplex is two stories in height, with complex massing that appears at odds with the relatively simple massing of surrounding buildings. 4. Proportions The proposed duplex’s two-story height and top-heavy massing appear incompatible with nearby contributing buildings. 5. Design and style The proposed duplex’s postmodern style does not appear compatible with surrounding buildings. 6. Roofs The gabled roofline is somewhat compatible, though the complexity of the roofline is not. 7. Exterior walls The proposed cladding materials are not appropriate for the district, with the exception of the stucco, which appears elsewhere in the district. 8. Windows and doors The proposed irregular fenestration is largely incompatible; however, the applicant has amended the design to improve compatibility. 11. Attached garages and carports The proposed carports somewhat serve as a step-up element to mitigate the duplex’s upper-story visual weight. Summary The project does not meet most of the applicable standards. 16 – 2 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 …
