HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS MARCH 28, 2022 HR-2022-026102 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK 1205 ALTA VISTA AVENUE C.9 – 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 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS MARCH 28, 2022 DA-2022-007262; GF-2022-017035 301 WEST 6TH STREET D.2 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE Demolish a ca. 1919 commercial building. RESEARCH The building at 301 W. 6th Street is a single-story brick warehouse with rhythmic fenestration, a corner entrance, and Art Deco cornice detailing. The building at 301 West 6th Street was constructed around 1919, though the lot appears to have been in use as commercial and dwelling space since at least the 1890s, per Sanborn fire insurance maps and occupancy histories. Onorato Del Curto sold the corner lot at 6th and Lavaca to the San Antonio-based Riegler Ice Cream Company in 1919. It became a manufacturing and sales center, with plate-glass windows to display the state-of-the-art facility and enameled interior1 to pedestrian traffic. By the 1920s, the Austin Ice Cream Company had purchased the building as their Austin headquarters, manufacturing Violet Crown Ice Cream products. In 1926, a group of Temple investors with the Bell Ice Cream Company had purchased the company, though the building kept the Violet Crown name. By 1931, the expanding Bell Company planned to construct a new factory at 10th Street and Guadalupe,2 and the Roy Rather Refrigeration Company purchased 301 W. 6th Street. During the 1930s, after a brief stint at 201 W. 6th Street, Morris and Curtis Mosteller moved their seed business into the former factory.3 During the late 1930s and early 1940s, their advertising focused on the wartime Victory Garden effort, and Morris Mosteller dispensed regular planting advice as part of his role as garden committee chairman of the Chamber of Commerce.4 Throughout the historic period, the secondary building sharing a party wall with 301 W. 6th Street—known through the years as 502, 504, and 506 Lavaca Street—served a variety of business and industrial occupants, most notably the Lindsey Auto Electric Company. Lindsey Auto Electric remained at the Lavaca Street address for at least twenty years. PROPERTY EVALUATION Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate to high integrity. Non-historic awnings have been removed. Brick painting may have occurred in the historic period. Though the windows have been replaced, they do not appear to have altered original openings. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it may meet two criteria: "Bell Ice …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS MARCH 28, 2022 2206 EAST SIDE DRIVE D.3 – 1 Relocate a ca. 1915-1920 house outside city limits. PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story Craftsman bungalow with partial-width covered porch supported by tapered columns atop brick piers, 1:1 screened wood windows, exposed rafter tails at eaves, and triangular brackets at gable ends. The house at 2206 East Side Drive, formerly known as 2210 East Side Drive and 2210 Goodall Street, was built by the Wright family in the early twentieth century as part of the family’s dairy farm. City directories do not include records prior to the 1930s, as the farm was located outside the city limits. The Wright family had operated a dairy farm in South Austin since at least 1899.1 Claude W. Wright, Sr., and his wife Ethel Bowling Wright inherited the business from William W. Wright, who migrated to Texas from Mississippi after serving in the Confederate army as a teenager. Claude Wright, known as “Cap,” also served as a city fireman2 after his retirement from the dairy industry in 1946, a post he held for nearly twenty years. After the Wright family sold the dairy farm, the house became a rental property to several families. Renters during the 1940s and 1950s included clerks, butchers, saleswomen, and manufacturing employees. PROPERTY EVALUATION Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high integrity. However, the building’s integrity of setting has been compromised, as it no longer retains the rural surroundings appropriate for an agricultural complex, nor does it retain significant associated outbuildings present in historic photos. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it may meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building is a Craftsman bungalow. b. Historical association. The property appears to have been part of the Wright dairy farm prior to the widespread c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human urbanization of South Austin. history or prehistory of the region. d. Community value. The property does not possess a unique location, physical characteristic, or significant feature that contributes to the character, image, or cultural identity of the city, the neighborhood, or a particular demographic group. e. Landscape feature. The property is not a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, …

I've lived there for 40 years. I found the home first listed in the directory at the Austin History Center in the early 1940s as the C.W. Wright Dairy. Both 2206 and 2210 East Side Drive were listed as properties owned by the C.W Wright Dairy. I was told that I am only the third owner of the property. I bought the property from Allen Messenger and his wife who owned it for only a short time while they were building a home outside of the city limits. My neighbor, Mr. Victor Polanco, who lived across the street told me that the home was rented out for years and it became severely deteriorated. From his front yard, he saw rats entering the home through holes in the roof and wood siding. The back yard was 1 covered by an asphalt parking area that extended almost to the back of the lot. It was large enough to accommodate several cars. When I closed on my home in January 1982, this area was not safe. South Congress was a very dangerous place where no one walked at night. Of course, that’s changed. This house sits on what used to be open land on the outer edges of the city prior to the 1940s. Over the past ten years, the character of East Side Drive has changed. Most of the surrounding homes have been …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS MARCH 28, 2022 HR 2022-028987 OLD WEST AUSTIN 1717 W. 30TH C.10 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Total demolition of a circa 1941 single-family residence and decks, and new construction. 1) Total demolition of circa 1941 existing single-story house bungalow and decks (rear studio to remain). 2) New construction of a single-family residence: The proposed new construction is for a single-story residence with a front gable, standing seam metal roof. It will have an exterior cladding of brick and stained wood siding. Windows will be a mixture of casement, sliding, and fixed single pane glass windows. The primary façade is composed of two fixed single-pane windows and a centrally placed entry door with sidelight. There is a front deck of approximately 112 square feet and a rear back patio. The modern aesthetic takes cues from the Minimal Traditional style in its lack of ornamentation, proportions, and material choice. 1717 W. 30th is a Minimal Traditional style single-family residence built circa 1941. It is on pier and beam foundation and approximately 1625 square feet of wood frame construction with asbestos shingle siding, a hipped roof, and wood 1:1 single-pane windows. It has a central small covered front porch with simple boxed pilasters supporting a hipped roof extension over a single paneled door entrance. There is a raised wooden deck with steps attached to the back of the residence. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH 1717 W. 30th was built circa 1941 by Ken Sanders. It was then rented by James W. and Ora Robinson in 1944. The property was then purchased by M. C. and Elizabeth S. Robinson around 1947. Still, it was vacant by 1949 until it was purchased by E. Morris and Grace E. Alford, owners of Morris Alford Insurance Agency. Mr Morris served as a staff officer at Lackland Air Force Base and President of the Austin Appraisal Association. Donald O. and Dorothy Reinhackel, who owned Harold G. Reinhackel & Son, insurance company, purchased the home in approximately 1955 and welcomed a son while living at here. The Reinhackels lived in the home until Robert G. Brown rented the house in 1959.
