While it is a City of Austin Landmark, the structure has endured significant physical changes over the years—alterations that are nevertheless of historic age, part of the building’s historic significance. This statement reanimates and substantiates the history of the structure and the freed-person community originally surrounding it, establishing the Gold Dollar Building as a valuable site for the city’s Black heritage and collective historical memory. In doing so, it makes the case for its treatment as a commemorative space and calls into question allowing further physical modifications to the structure. During a time when Austin’s Black population was at about 36%, several white men who owned property in Division D began to sell lots to freedmen. Joseph Caruthers, a freedman from North or South Carolina, acquired property in outlot 46, including the site of present-day 900 West 24 Street, from Colonel John M. Thomas in December 1868. Shortly after, in the th spring and summer of 1869, a freedman from Arkansas, James Wheat, acquired three parcels from Thomas, also in outlot 46 and including present-day 2409 San Gabriel. The Wheat family became the namesake, if not the founders, of a freedom colony or freedmen’s community called Wheatville. Other Black folks soon also bought small lots in the area—including George Franklin, who bought property at present-day 2402 San Gabriel St. that same year and set up a wagon park on it—and the self-directed community began to grow. The increase in that property’s value indicates that Franklin developed it in some way, possibly with a one-story, stone building with a lean-to (FIG 1). https://ctxretold.org/preserve-the-jacob-fontaine-gold-dollar-building/ 2/14 2/21/22, 11:17 AM Preserve the Jacob Fontaine Gold Dollar Building – RETELLING CENTRAL TEXAS HISTORY Figure 1 – Gold Dollar Building 1869-1875.

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS DESIGN STANDARDS 5.2.5: Roofs Replace existing shingle roof with standing-seam metal in brown color. No slope change is proposed. The Aldridge Place Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1. Retain the original roof pitches and profiles on the building. Avoid changes to roofs on the front of the building. Avoid adding to the eave height of original roofs, especially at the front of the structure. Retain historic dormers. The proposed project does not modify existing roof pitches or profiles. 2. In replacing roof materials, consider first the use of the original material, then the use of a product that resembles the original material, such as a fiberglass or other energy-efficient shingle. metal roofs are also acceptable. Preserve original gable/attic vents and roof brackets. The proposed project replaces a shingle roof with metal. Summary The project meets the applicable standards. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Aldridge Place Historic District. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the application, encouraging the applicant to choose a shingle replacement over standing-seam metal for enhanced compatibility.

207 West 33rd Street in Aldridge Place Historic District Replace Composition Shingle Roof with Standing Seam Metal Roof •Front gabled house with front gabled porch, meaning visibility of roof from the front is limited •Like all the composition shingled houses in my neighborhood, my roof needs replacement •Proposed roof would be brown-colored standing seam metal West View East View Only Similar Request to HLC from 2019 through 2021 4205 Avenue F Approved on Consent September 28, 2020 (Its roof has greater visibility than mine) Climate-Related Environmental Reasons for Request • Heat and hail are primary reasons • In Austin, eight of the top ten years by number of days over 100 degrees have been since 2000 • The past seven years were Earth's warmest on record "by a clear margin" • A team of Canadian researchers estimates that stronger storms, combined with larger updrafts, will lead to the production of bigger hailstones in parts of North America Composition Shingle Limitations • Thermal changes cause composition shingles to break down as they heat up and cool down • Their lifespan is 20 to 25 years in an average climate (Austin is a hotter than average climate) • When replaced, the existing shingles must be discarded. They take up landfill space and are a waste of resources Advantages of Metal Roofs • Metal roof are made, in part, of recycled materials • Metal roofs can be recycled if replacement is needed • Metal roofs have an average lifespan of 50 to 70 years More Advantages of Metal Roofs • Metal roofs are more energy-efficient because of their reflective qualities (thanks to microscopic ceramics bits in the paint that reflect heat) • They absorb less heat during the day and reduce heat transmission to a home’s interior • Because they don’t absorb as much heat as shingles, metal roofs cool down faster at night. They don’t contribute as much to the heat island effect that exists in Central Austin Aldridge Place Design Standards 5.2.5: Roofs (Identical to Hyde Park Historic District’s Standards) 1.

Exceptions to installing fences at tree drip lines may be permitted in the following cases: A. Where there is to be an approved grade change, impermeable paving surface, tree well, or other such site development, erect the fence approximately 2 to 4 feet beyond the area disturbed; B. Where permeable paving is to be installed within a tree's drip line, erect the fence at the outer limits of the permeable paving area (prior to site grading so that this area is graded separately prior to paving installation to minimized root damage); C. Where trees are close to proposed buildings, erect the fence to allow 6 to 10 feet of work space between the fence and the building; D. Where there are severe space constraints due to tract size, or other special requirements, contact the City Arborist at 974-1876 to discuss alternatives. Special Note: For the protection of natural areas, no exceptions to installing fences at the Limit of Construction line will be permitted. 7.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FEBRUARY 28, 2022 HR-2022-002112 ROBERTSON/STUART & MAIR HISTORIC DISTRICT 1104 E. 10TH STREET B.5 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct an accessory dwelling unit. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The proposed ADU is two stories in height, with a covered porch and balcony. It is located behind the contributing main house at 1104 E. 10th Street. It is clad in smooth-finish horizontal fiber cement siding and board-and-batten siding. Fenestration includes mulled and single 1:1 windows, fixed two-panel windows, sliders, and glazed metal entry doors. The proposed plan is canted so that the front-facing balcony and porch are directly behind the main house. A spiral staircase allows access to the second floor. DESIGN STANDARDS 1.4. New Construction The Robertson/Stuart & Mair Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: New construction shall have the same street-front orientation and distance from adjacent buildings as the contributing buildings in the same block. The proposed ADU is oriented toward the south, as is the main house. Setbacks for new construction shall be consistent with setbacks of the district’s contributing buildings by taking the average of the existing setbacks of contributing buildings on the same block face, or by aligning with the setback of one adjacent contributing building; this may allow setbacks that are shallower than the base zoning. The proposed building is located at the rear of the lot. Design new buildings so that they are compatible with and differentiated from historic buildings in the district. If designing an addition in a contemporary style, reflect the scale, massing, and/or materials of the historic building; if designing an addition in a style that reflects a style borrowed from surrounding historic buildings, differentiate the scale, massing, and/or materials. The proposed ADU is differentiated from the main house by its two-story height, irregular shape, irregular shed roof, and modern fenestration and cladding materials. While the exterior cladding and fenestration is mostly compatible, the building’s projecting eave at the main elevation, the spiral staircase, and the shed roofline are less compatible. New construction should have floor-to-floor heights and roof heights that are the same or similar to those on contributing buildings throughout the district. The proposed ADU features similar floor-to-floor heights as the contributing house. Select materials for new construction that are the same as or similar to those found on contributing buildings …

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Rebuilding of the one-story connector between the original historic home (ca. 1928) and an adjacent addition (ca. 2003). Recladding of the hyphen’s wall and roof with standing-seam zinc. Removal of Palladian window at the hyphen and entry door at the addition; replacement with a new divided-light steel door with an awning at the hyphen and a window at the addition. 2) Addition of a third window to an existing pair of mulled windows on the north elevation. 3) Removal of the side entry door and gabled hood on the north elevation. 4) Enlargement of the kitchen to the south, involving removal of a portion of the rear (west) elevation.

Elements on the 34th St. (north) elevation proposed for modification include paired 6:6 light windows and a small gabled roof with an arched underside and decorative brackets that shelters a multi-light door. The house became a City of Austin Landmark in 2006, after the addition had been constructed. The Recorded Texas Historic Landmark file from 1999 includes photographs of all sides of the house prior to the addition’s construction.1 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 4. Exterior walls and trim Standard 4.2 indicates that, when patching is required, new siding should have a matching profile. Elevation drawings indicate limited replacement of siding to match existing only in the areas to be modified by proposed work. The project meets this standard. 5. Windows, doors, and screens Standard 5.13 establishes requirements for historic landmarks.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS FEBRUARY 28, 2022 HR-2021-205974 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK 804 RUTHERFORD PLACE C.1– 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish a contributing duplex and detached carport. Construct a new single-family residence with pool and two-story cabana. 1) Total demolition of existing contributing duplex and detached carport. 2) Construction of new single-family residence with pool and two-story cabana. The proposed primary building is two stories with a habitable attic and roof deck. It features an irregular flat, gabled, and shed roofline; fixed-pane and casement full-light fenestration in irregular pattern; stucco cladding; and a front-facing garage. The pool cabana is two stories in height with stucco cladding, a gabled roofline, and fixed-pane windows on two elevations; the west and south secondary elevations are windowless. ARCHITECTURE The 2020 Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register Nomination lists 804 Rutherford Place as the only example of a representative domestic property constructed with a “mixed” architectural style. This unique eclecticism includes Mission, Tudor Revival, and Swiss influences. The nomination’s description is as follows: The small apartment building at 804 Rutherford Place is a good example of an eclectic, mixed design that draws from three styles, in this case Mission Revival, Tudor Revival, and Swiss. The building is two stories in height, with buff- and tan-colored brick walls and a flat roof. The front elevation has a symmetrical arrangement, with a one-story, partial-width entrance volume extending from the rectangular main building volume. The projecting entrance has Tudor Revival details including an arched entrance door, arched hood molding over the door, narrow windows with decorative shutters, and flared wrought iron stair railings. The main two-story volume has little decoration. It has single 1/1 windows on the first floor and two sets of paired 1/1 windows on the second floor. Its modest Mission Revival details are limited to a narrow, divided light, arched window in the center of the upper floor, and a stepped parapet. The Swiss detailing includes the scalloped bargeboard. All window openings have brick sills, and the parapet coping is brick.1 Notably, the building at 806 Rutherford Place is constructed with a similar plan, form, and fenestration pattern, though 806 Rutherford shows only Mission influences. 806 Rutherford was constructed in 1925 by the Austin Real Estate Abstract Company. 803 E. Riverside Drive, constructed by the same company in 1925 and displaying similar Mission styling to 806 Rutherford, is located immediately behind 804 …
