In general, the new design focused on maintaining the scale of original homes in the district. The standards state, “The scale and massing of a new building are essential to maintaining a property or historic district’s distinctive character—more so than architectural style or decorative details. However, well-designed.” 2. LOCATION. The structure is located in line with other houses so that it does not visually overpower existing adjacent houses. 3. ORIENTATION. The orientation (front door faces street) is consistent with adjacent contributing structures. 4. SCALE. Massing of house reflects character of nearby contributing houses. 5. STYLE. Scale, proportions and massing are in keeping with nearby houses, while a replica style is avoided. (Standards state that designs in both traditional and modern styles can successfully achieve compatibility and differentiation with historic buildings.) 6. WINDOWS. Windows proportions, size and profile look to nearby contributing structures. 7. PORCHES. A porch is incorporated, and the front door faces the street, to match the pattern in the district. 8. GARAGES. The garage is placed behind the house to minimize the visual prominence. Historic Design Standards 2607 McCallum Use this sheet if new construction/addition

Construct a multi-lot mixed use development. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish the commercial building and partially reconstruct the façade at 1116 W. 6th Street. Potential materials for the reconstruction include white brick or stone, reuse of existing brick, concrete, or treated or charred wood. 2) Demolish the residential building located immediately behind the store. 3) Construct a mixed-use development spanning the block to Blanco Street. The proposed redevelopment includes multi- level structures of varying materials, with flat-roofed upper floors and roof decks stepped back from the first- and second-floor façades. ARCHITECTURE The 2005 West Line National Register Historic District nomination describes 1116 W. 6th Street as follows: One of a number of Mission Revival-style commercial buildings on the north side of W. Sixth Street, this brick two-part commercial block was built in 1927. A three-bay storefront on the ground floor consists of central double doors flanked by expansive plate-glass windows; an additional door at the end of the facade leads to stairs to the upper floor. The second-story facade, punctured by paired and triple double-hung wood windows, terminates in a shaped parapet. A suspended metal awning covers the sidewalk, and a canted clay tile roof below the parapet shades the second-floor windows. To the east side of the building, a recessed porte-cochere is surmounted by a one-room wing. Centered on the stuccoed front elevation of the wing is a cluster of three windows, and wood stairs lead to an adjacent exterior door sheltered by a metal awning.1 1116-B W. 6th Street/1114 W. 6th Street is an L-plan Folk Victorian house. It appears to be side-gabled, with traditional cornice returns, and has a board-and-batten rear addition with a hipped roof of corrugated metal. It is not visible from the primary W. 6th Street frontage. RESEARCH From 1927-1944, the building housed a grocery run by Alexander (Alex) and Annie Junck Fischer, who lived on the upper floor. The Fischers sold the building to Raymond Campi, who also owned the cluster of small commercial buildings on the other corner of the block. Campi operated Capitol Floors until 1955. The building was then occupied by Bill Bunch Flowers, a florist shop run by Gus …

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS window openings. 3) Add steel shade structures to north, east, and west elevations. 4) Add solar chimneys to roof of north wing. RESEARCH 1) Repair exterior masonry with matching brick and mortar. 2) Extend windowsills to ground at park- and pool-side elevations to create doors. Add steel infill panels in existing Parque Zaragoza’s bathhouse was constructed around 1941 by community volunteers and National Youth Association program members with Parks Department support. It abuts the northeast corner of the swimming pool. In addition to its basic function as a restroom, shower, and changing area for bathers, the bathhouse—referred to as a “shelter house and caretaker’s unit” in period documentation—was historically used as both the caretaker’s residence and an all-purpose community center. Its character-defining features include expansive horizontal windows, low-relief brick coping and windowsills, long and low massing, and pointed-arch entrances on the pool-facing (west) elevation. Parque Zaragoza’s swimming pool was built in 1933 as a segregated public facility. Though it was one of the smallest city pools, it remained the only public pool open to Mexican Americans for much of the twentieth century, drawing record crowds to the park each summer. The concrete pool in the northwest quadrant of the park measures approximately 100 feet by 40 feet. A concrete sidewalk punctuated by depth markers and benches and edged by a grassy lawn surrounds the pool. Three-quarters of the site are enclosed by a chain-link fence topped with razor wire, with the northeast corner wrapped by the 1941 bathhouse. 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 National Register properties. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 1. General standards The proposed project stabilizes and repairs historic fabric.

ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH The house at 1400 Garden St is a single-story L-plan National Folk style with a cross-gabled metal roof and wood siding. The existing windows are not original. Columbus W. Moore built the house located at 1400 Garden Street in the early 1890s. Moore lived in the house for roughly 20 years where he worked as a carpenter and contractor, utilizing his home as his office. Moore served as a City alderman during his time in the home. He was a prolific builder, landing contracts to build at the Travis County fairgrounds, the City’s water settling basin, a Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone exchange building, and the Confederate Women’s Home, among others. He served as president of Austin’s Builder’s Exchange group, hosting contractor conventions and organizing events for local professionals. The house was then occupied by various tradesmen from 1912-1920, including a contractor, miller, and blacksmith. From 1927-35 James and Elvira Sylvester lived in the house. After James Sylvester passed away in the early 1930s, his wife continued to live in the house until 1941.The house was rented briefly in the 40s before being bought by Pedro and Esther Tamayo. The Tamayo family owned the house from 1947-1952, and Sterling and Eula Borders owned it from 1955-1957.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS AUGUST 3, 2022 PR-2022-096688; GF-2022-100772 2201 E. 16TH STREET 28 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1939 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH PROPERTY EVALUATION One-story symmetrical-plan cottage with horizontal wood siding and a side-gabled roof. Its simple stoop is sheltered by a central gable with deep eaves and triangular brackets. Windows have been replaced. The house at 2201 E. 16th Street was built in 1939. It began as a rental property for Nelson and Elfreda Williams. Nelson Williams worked as a porter, while Elfreda Williams started her own business at 1700½ E. 19th Street. The house’s next occupant, Edda Marie “Eddie” Horace, became Elfreda’s Beauty Shop manager and operator. She and her husband, Harry, lived at 2201 E. 16th from around 1944 to 1957. The 2016 East Austin historic resource survey lists the property as contributing to a potential historic district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate integrity. Windows appear to have been replaced. 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 does not appear to retain architectural significance. b. Historical association. The property is associated with Elfreda Horace, proprietor of Elfreda’s Beauty Shop. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human 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, aesthetic, cultural, or historical value to the city. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Encourage adaptive reuse, then relocation over demolition, but release the permit upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package.
