HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS DECEMBER 17, 2021 HR-2021-180207 SWEDISH HILL NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 906 E 14TH STREET C.2 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Partially demolish rear and side of one-story house to construct a second-floor addition with roof deck. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Partially demolish rear and west elevations. 2) Remove and replace windows and doors at east elevation. 3) Construct a second story addition. The proposed addition is located at the west-facing portion of the house, directly above the existing building. It is set back beyond the ridgeline of the original house, and features a gabled standing- seam metal roof. A roof deck is situated immediately behind the ridgeline. The proposed addition is clad in vertical standing-seam metal and insulated prefabricated panels and features fixed and casement single-pane windows placed irregularly throughout. One-story Folk Victorian house with board-and-batten siding and a full-width porch. Scalloped siding adorns the front- facing gable end. According to the Swedish Hill National Register Historic District nomination, the front door’s location has been altered. The house at 906 E. 14th Street was built around 1887. Its first occupant was widow Susan Gaines. The home’s early years were fraught with resident turnover; occupants included a wood dealer, a horse trader, carpenters and laborers, a teamster, and a saleswoman. By the early 1920s, Oscar E. and Ethel M. Free purchased the house; it remained in the family until at least 1959. Oscar E. Free was a printer and linotype operator who worked for the Texas Poster Publishing Company, the Knape Printing Company, the Von Boeckmann-Jones Company, the Austin Daily Tribune, the American Publishing Company, and the Statesman. 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 additions 1. Location The proposed addition is located behind the existing ridgeline of the house. 2. Scale, massing, and height The proposed addition is two stories, while the existing house is one story in height. It does not appear subordinate to the historic portion of the house from street-facing or secondary elevations. 3. Design and style The proposed addition is appropriately differentiated from the existing house by its irregular fenestration pattern, undivided windows, window-to-wall ratio, and metal siding; however, these design elements are not …

Modify dormers and roofline at main façade, removing chimney and replacing dormers. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish non-contributing ADU at rear of property. 2) Partially demolish existing house, including existing chimney, and construct a two-story addition at rear. The proposed addition is clad in brick to match the historic portion of the house. The addition will have a compound gabled roofline, clad to match the existing building.

A dentillated cornice and simple frieze are visible below the shallow eaves, and side elevations feature traditional cornice returns. The house at 1811 Alta Vista was built between 1931 and 1935 for Robert E., Jr. and Willard Nitschke.

Nitschke was well-known in Austin as a member of an early pioneer family in Central Texas, as well as for his horticultural and landscaping knowledge. Nitschke was a charter member of both the Men’s Garden Club and Audubon Society chapter in Austin, and shared his expertise—and his yard at 1811 Alta Vista—with the city’s aspiring gardeners.

COTERA+REED ARCHITECTS Historic Review Application November 15, 2021 Description of Proposed Work Our intention for the property is to enlarge the existing house within the footprint of the main structure and the existing garage, to create a single family residence with approximately 3,640 square feet. The renovated house will have three bedrooms 3 ½ baths, a study, living, dining and kitchen and carport. The new construction will require removing the existing garage on the alley and the apartment above it. It will also require removing a large part of the back wall of the house to create large areas of glass facing the back yard. The foundation and floor and ceiling framing in those areas will be reused, and reinforced as necessary. The new structure will be two stories except along the front of the existing house. The existing street facing façade will be kept as it is currently, but some work will need to be done to the windows, which are inoperable. The new exterior material will be brick, matching the existing as much as possible. The existing roof will be replaced with new, either asphalt shingle or standing seam metal. The existing roof shingles are an asbestos based product and need to be removed. Most interior walls will be removed and relocated to conform to the new layout. The ceiling framing and floor framing will be kept primarily intact in the footprint of the existing house. All gypsum board will be removed. New insulation will be installed at the exterior walls, the roof and the floor. Cedar piers in the crawlspace of the existing house will be replaced with concrete. The electrical and plumbing systems will be replaced with new. A photovoltaic array will be installed on the roof of the addition and garage with the intention of creating an energy neutral (net zero energy) home. 1801 San Antonio #406 Austin, Texas 78701 512 472 3300 www.coterareed.com WEST ELEVATION FACING STREET 1811 ALTA VISTA PARTIAL DEMO PERMIT APPLICATION NOVEMBER 14, 2021 COTERA+REED ARCHITECTS ALTA Design Partners SOUTH ELEVATION 1811 ALTA VISTA PARTIAL DEMO PERMIT APPLICATION NOVEMBER 14, 2021 COTERA+REED ARCHITECTS ALTA Design Partners NORTH ELEVATION 1811 ALTA VISTA PARTIAL DEMO PERMIT APPLICATION NOVEMBER 14, 2021 COTERA+REED ARCHITECTS ALTA Design Partners EAST ELEVATION 1811 ALTA VISTA PARTIAL DEMO PERMIT APPLICATION NOVEMBER 14, 2021 COTERA+REED ARCHITECTS ALTA Design Partners WEST AND SOUTH ELEVATION GARAGE APARTMENT EAST ELEVATION GARAGE APARTMENT NORTH …
C.4 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS DECEMBER 17, 2021 HR-2021-190552 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1107 GASTON AVENUE PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Partially demolish building and construct two-story side and rear additions with basement. Replace front door and sidelights. Replace roof, gutters, and downspouts. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Partially demolish building to remove existing attached garage, rear additions, and rear windows/walls. 2) Rebuild garage as side addition with new second story above. The proposed addition includes a front-facing garage, multi-light casement windows, and exterior brick to match existing. 3) Construct two-story rear addition with basement and terrace. The proposed addition is clad in brick, precast panels, and glass, with single and mulled multi-light casement windows.

Two-story brick house with Monterey-style balcony, hipped roof, masonry chimney, multi-light steel casement windows, and attached front-loading garage. The house at 1107 Gaston Avenue was built in 1939 for John Harvey, Sr. and Lucille Nash. John Harvey Nash was a car salesman from Waco who established the John H. Nash Automobile Company in 1927. The dealership started off selling Chrysler-DeSoto vehicles. By 1935, Nash had changed the dealership’s name and focus to Capitol Chevrolet, which became one of Austin’s largest and most influential car dealerships. After Nash’s death, the business remained with the Nash family; John Harvey Nash, Jr. became the company’s president and Lucille Nash retained her position as vice president. Lucille Nash remained in the house until at least 1959 after her marriage to James Motheral, a concrete company owner. During her time in the house, Lucille Nash—a trained musician—also became president of the Austin Symphony.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS DECEMBER 17, 2021 PR-2021-137925, GF-2021-154894 1505 FOREST TRAIL D.2 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Demolish a ca. 1937 house and 1953 detached storage shed. One-story, U-plan, brick veneer house. The house has “weeping” mortar as well as corners of rubble volcanic stone and a central stone chimney. The moderately pitched hipped roof has brackets along the eaves. Windows are 1:1 wood sash with 4:4 screens and wood shutters on the facade. The house at 1505 Forest Trail was built in 1937 by Charles E. Green, the managing editor of the Austin American-Statesman newspaper, while he was still single. Green lived here until he married in 1941. Besides being the editor of the Statesman, Green was the founder of the Headliners Club, and a long-time supporter and friend of Lyndon Johnson. This house was later purchased by George Davis Crow and his wife Olive, who had moved to Austin from Dallas. George Davis Crow was a native of North Carolina and had been a manager of the Federal Reserve Bank in Dallas for many years before he moved to Austin. George Crow taught at the University of Texas, where his son George Crow, Jr. was a student. After he died in 1946, his widow Olive continued to live here until around 1951. The house was a rental property in the mid-1950s, then purchased by Robert B. and Edna Mae Lindsey, who lived here from around 1955 to around 1970. Robert B. Lindsey worked for many years for the Texas Employment Commission, starting in Wichita Falls and moving to San Antonio before moving to Austin and this house. After Robert B. Lindsey died in 1962, Edna Mae continued to live here until around 1975, with a new husband, Richard Hernaund.

The property was built for Charles E. Green, principal editor of the Austin American- Statesman for 30 years. Green lived in this house for only a few …
