HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 15, 2021 HR-2021-168400 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 504 LELAND STREET C.6 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1931 house and construct new house on its site. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish existing contributing building and construct a new house. The proposed building is two stories in height, with a compound gabled roof clad in composition shingles, horizontal fiber cement siding and fiber cement shingle siding, a front- facing garage, and single and mulled 2:2 windows. Exposed rafter tails accent the eaves. One-story, rectangular-plan frame bungalow with a partial-width, front-gabled independent porch; single and double 1:1 fenestration with 3:1 wood screens. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH The house was built around 1931 as a rental property and had a remarkable turnover in tenants until the mid-1940s, when it was purchased by Cecil and Artie Bowden, who lived here until around 1948. He was a driver for the Firestone Test Fleet. From the late 1940s until the mid-1950s, the house was owned and occupied by a captain for the Austin Fire Department and his wife, as well as a salesman for Yaring’s, a ladies’ department store; the salesman is listed singly here in the 1958 city directory. The house had more renters in the 1960s and early 1970s. It was purchased by computer operator Michael Asthalter and his wife Kristin in the mid-1980s. 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 new building is set approximately 34’ back from the street. The existing house appears to have a shallower setback than the proposed new building. 2. Orientation The proposed building is oriented toward Leland Street. It features an integral front-loading garage, which is inconsistent with the garage patterns in the district. 3. Scale, massing, and height While there are no adjacent contributing properties, most of the contributing buildings elsewhere on the block are one story in height, with simple massing. The proposed building is two stories, with more complex massing. Its front porch is appropriately stepped down, which helps to minimize its height. 4. Proportions The proposed building’s proportions are somewhat compatible with the surrounding district, as its use of stepdowns help to minimize its …

D.2 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS NOVEMBER 15, 2021 PR-2021-151456 3506 DUVAL STREET PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Partially demolish a ca. 1934 house and construct a second-story and rear addition. Enlarge the house to the rear. 2) Reopen screened front porch. 3) Replace existing horizontal siding with fiber-cement siding. 4) Replace existing windows with new aluminum-clad wood windows. 5) Install a new composition shingle roof. ARCHITECTURE 1) Enlarge the habitable second story by increasing the height of front- and side-facing gables (east and south elevations). One-and-one-half-story, cross-gabled bungalow with Tudor Revival stylistic influences. Most of the house is clad in horizontal wood siding. The partial-width porch has a wood-clad gable supported by brick piers, with an inset gabled brick frontispiece with an arched opening. The porch has been screened in. Windows are single or groupings of up to three 1:1 sash. It appears that all windows were previously replaced with vinyl sash, though most windows are concealed by dark screens. The house has one-story rear additions and infill at a side elevation. RESEARCH The house at 3506 Duval St. was designed by acclaimed architect Roy Thomas for Dr. C. M. Montgomery, and original plans for the residence are part of the Roy L. Thomas collection at the Alexander Architectural Archives. This 1934 house may have replaced or enlarged an earlier residence on the lot. City directories list it as the home of Clifford M. and Myra Montgomery beginning in 1932, and water and sewer permits were issued to Dr. Montgomery in 1930. Dr. Clifford Montgomery (1891–1947) was a professor of Romance languages at the University of Texas beginning in 1920. His specialization was in Spanish literature. Myra Montgomery (1891–1976) was superintendent of the children’s division of the University Methodist Church for 15 years and taught at St. Elmo and Maplewood elementary schools. She served as president of the Austin Classroom Teachers Association from 1952 through 1954 and as the organization’s parliamentarian in 1961.

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Mary Ingle Friday, October 22, 2021 2:32 PM PAZ Preservation Allen, Amber GF21-157165 - 3506 Duval ST *** External Email ‐ Exercise Caution *** To whom it may concern: I object to the partial demolition permit at 3506 Duval ST. A partial demolition is a joke‐ this is a demolition. There has been no direction given to the applicant about how this house could be readapted or remodeled to be a contributing structure in a potential LHD. Sometime ago, the Grooms Addition (the subdivision in which this property resides) shelved their efforts with the History Library with an extensive file of preservation work towards a LHD. We needed help with the property owner signatures‐ the City refused to help us. We are an older subdivision in Austin which was mostly platted in 1880‐1890. This house at 3506 Duval was built in 1927 (similar brick to my house at 3406 Duval which was finished in 1929). It would be better to have completed plans to look at before weighing in on this remodel/partial demolition. We are losing too many structures which could be potentially contributing or restored to contributing structures. It is a shame that Austin does not embrace preservation in a meaningful way for our older neighborhoods. Mary Ingle CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS NOVEMBER 15, 2021 PR-2021-149935; GF-2021-164878 2003 HAMILTON AVENUE D.3 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct a 1,050 square foot one story rear addition and convert the house from single family to duplex use with alterations to the front façade. One-story, rectangular-plan, front -gabled frame bungalow with synthetic siding, single and double 1:1 and 2:2 fenestration, and a front-gabled independent porch on ornamental metal posts; stone foundation skirting. The applicant proposes the demolition of the existing roof and front façade to convert the house to a duplex, replacement of all windows and doors, and the installation of new doors and windows and a new full-width front porch. The existing façade has a single-leaf front door, a single and double set of 2:2 fenestration, and a partial-width front-gabled independent porch on ornamental metal posts. The proposal envisions the construction of a full-width independent porch with railing, installation of three neo-Craftsman doors (one for each unit, and a central door for entry to a storage unit, and installation of new windows consisting of a triple set of 6:1 windows on each side of the doorways and single 6:1 windows down the sides of the house. The existing front-gabled roof will be removed and replaced with a hipped roof. PROPERTY EVALUATION The house is located next to the landmarked Yerwood-Simonds house and would be contributing to the potential College Heights historic district, which would also incorporate the Richard Overton House. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building is a vernacular bungalow with little architectural merit, and which has compromised integrity of materials. It is important in context, however, because College Heights was a Black subdivision for which prospective property owners had to pay cash, following redlining practices of the day. This resulted in the construction of simpler, less ornamental homes in the neighborhood as compared to houses built in non- redlined areas where financing was more flexible. b. Historical association. The house is located in College Heights, which imbues it with some significance in the context of a potential historic district, but does not have individual significance necessary for landmark designation. c. Archaeology. The …
