Year Built: ca 1941 Southern Colonial Revival Designated Historic Landmark in 2010 • Southern Colonial Revival built circa 1941, 2-story rectangular plan side gabled frame home with 1-story additions at either end. • Designated Historic Landmark in 2010 as an example of it style and for its association with Olin Culberson, a long-tome Texas Railroad Commissioner who championed the rights of independent oil and gas producers and attracted business to Texas by restricting the export of natural gar and incentivizing businesses to locate near gas wellheads. • Proposed work will maintain and restore character defining features including the symmetrical front façade that features a full-width porch and central entry with leaded glass sidelites. • The covered patio addition to the rear façade will complement the historic architecture and create cohesion. It was designed to be compatible with the massing, size, scale of the existing rear façade. • The New Pool Cabana replaces an existing cabana/storage structure, complementing the existing architecture, but departing in material use to distinguish it as new construction. It is located to the rear of the site, in the backyard, limiting its impact to the historic integrity of the property.

10 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS SEPTEMBER 4, 2024 HR-2024-040291 BERNER-CLARK-MERCADO HOUSE 1807 EAST CESAR CHAVEZ STREET PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS DESIGN STANDARDS Stabilize porch structure by repairing deck, balcony rails, and porch posts. Paint over graffiti. The proposed porch repairs were completed without a permit. Balcony railings, porch supports, and decking have been replaced. Graffiti remediation and new paint are proposed. 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 Historic materials have been removed from the building; the extent of deterioration prior to removal is not clear. The replacement materials do not look the same as the removed historic materials. 6. Porches Deteriorated porch elements have been removed and replaced with inappropriate new materials. The repaired porch decking appears appropriately constructed. Summary The project mostly does not meet the applicable standards. COMMITTEE FEEDBACK Use the same profiles and designs for all woodwork. Porch columns, balustrades, and bracket detailing should be put back exactly, using historic photographs. Add transparent extensions to railings at original height where required by Code, e.g., a light metal topping rail. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Grant the applicant’s request to postpone the public hearing to allow time to implement Committee feedback. LOCATION MAP 10 – 2
11 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS SEPTEMBER 4, 2024 HR-2024-070259 STANLEY HOMESTEAD 1811 NEWTON STREET PROPOSAL Remove and rebuild limestone walls and stairs in new location. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The project consists of several Right-of-Way repairs and improvements, including: 1) Construct a sidewalk in place of the existing limestone block wall and stairs. 2) Reconstruct the non-historic limestone block wall and potentially historic-age stairs in new alignment with salvaged materials, replacing blocks in-kind where deteriorated beyond salvageability. ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STANDARDS The main house is a one-story limestone block cottage with gabled roof, 2:2 windows, and a covered front porch. The existing retaining wall and stairs are constructed of matching limestone blocks outside the fenceline. 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: Sites and streetscapes 2. Walls and fences 2.1 Retain historic fences and site walls on the street side or sides of the property, including gates and hardware. 2.2 Repair historic street-side fences and site walls with matching design and materials. 2.3 If damage or deterioration requires replacement of a portion of a street-side fence or site wall, replace only that portion in-kind, matching the design, materials, size, and finish. The proposal includes retention of existing materials, both historic-age and non-historic age, but moves the locations of the existing retaining wall and stairs. Where deteriorated, limestone will be replaced in-kind. 5. Sidewalks, driveways, and parking 5.2 Construct new sidewalks and driveways that are compatible with the character of the district in location, size, width, pattern, and material. The proposed project includes construction of a new sidewalk to match the existing sidewalk at the corner of the property. 6.Streetscape elements 6.3 Construct new streets, sidewalks, planting strips, curbs, ADA ramps, and alleys to be compatible with the style, scale, materials, and configuration of the historic district. 6.7 Constructing new sidewalks is encouraged, even if they were not historically present. See 5.2. Summary The project mostly meets the applicable standards. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the application.
