P ROJ EC T SC OP E D ES C R IP T IO N Driskill Hotel (22044.02b) 01.08.2025 City of Austin – Historic Landmark Commission, et. al Clayton Korte – George Wilcox Regarding Historic Review Application 604 Brazos Street, Austin TX 78701 Built Circa: 1886, Annex (Tower) Built Circa: 1930 Project (#) Date To From General History: Built in 1886, the Driskill Hotel is a five-story masonry and wood-framed structure designed in the Richardsonian Romanesque Revival style. The Annex, a thirteen-story tower, was added to the hotel in 1930. The original portion of the Driskill has a square footprint, with each of its four corners cut to provide diagonal entrances. A series of gables along the rooflines define the exterior into bays and pavilions. Two small crested gables flank the central gable, and large balconies are located on the second and third floors. The grand facades along the 6th Street and Brazos Street elevations are constructed of pressed brick, limestone, and local granite. These facades feature intricate carvings, arched windows, and large cast iron columns. The openings graduate in size, from large arches at the base (forming an arcade around the building) to smaller round-arched windows at the top floor. Most of the original brick detailing remains intact. The 13-story tower, added in 1930 and designed by the El Paso firm Trost & Trost, is a concrete-framed structure that originally contained 180 guestrooms and a shopping arcade on the ground floor along 7th Street. This tower has a roughly square footprint, divided into five structural bays, which are expressed through the stone and brick detailing on the exterior. The three bays to the west continue up twelve stories, while the two easternmost bays are only two stories tall. The base of the twelve-story bays features large tooled stucco/plaster, stone, and granite arches at the ground floor, reflecting the architectural language of the original hotel. The two-story eastern bays continue the tooled stucco/plaster detailing with rectilinear openings, creating a large double-volume recessed entry. The smaller, easternmost bay serves as the entrance to the Driskill Bar and Grill and is accented with a protruding rectilinear canopy. The facade of the tower facing 7th Street has undergone at least two significant alterations since its construction in 1930. For the most part, the three arched bays (bays three, four, and five) have remained relatively unchanged. However, the original massing had enclosed interior spaces …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS JANUARY 8, 2025 HR-2024-165836 HYDE PARK LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT 4016 DUVAL STREET 7.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a carport and rehabilitate a rear garage. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS At the side of the front yard of the property, construct a two-car carport, along with a concrete ribbon driveway in same location as existing gravel driveway. At the rear of the property, repair and convert an existing garage into a home office. ARCHITECTURE This circa-1920 bungalow is located on the perimeter of the Hyde Park neighborhood. It features a broad front porch that spans most of the front façade and is supported by two brick-clad posts at the corners. Above, the roof forms a clipped gable that is clad in teardrop siding painted white. And ample attic vent is located at the top half of the gable. Behind, the main house consists of two stories, the second of which is slightly hidden behind the projecting porch gable. The roof’s material is metal and likely not original. The house is slightly elevated on a vented crawlspace. All side and front windows feature wood framed screens, which appear to be original or based on original designs. Overall, the house retains good integrity. DESIGN STANDARDS The Hyde Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1. General Standards 1.1: Prevention of Demolition By rehabilitating the existing garage, demolition will be prevented, and the exact footprint will be preserved. Though the garage structure was not included in the district survey, it is thought to be from the time of original house construction or during the period of significance. At the proposed carport, it is not proposed to tie into the house structure in any way, preventing any demolition of material towards the front of the house. 1.3: Avoidance of False Historicism The proposed carport is simple in design and will not be confused for anything from the period of significance, while also not appearing too modern for the streetscape. 1.4: Appropriate Treatment Options for Contributing or Potentially Contributing Structures New materials proposed at the rear garage are appropriate and match the historic in pattern and scale. 5. Residential Standards 5.9 Garages While the Hyde Park Design Standards make mention of criteria for garages, there is little said about carports similar to what is being proposed. Standard …

They sent the emails to David Conner, who is the Chair of the Hyde Park Development Review Committee. Again, thank you for your time. Regards, Nick and Kim Vo ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: JoAnne Youngkin To: " Cc: Nick & Kim < < > > ; " " Sent: Thursday, December 19, 2024 at 04:31:04 PM CST Subject: 4016 Duval Street - Vo residence David, We own 4014 B Duval Street that is next door to Nick and Kim Vo on the south side of their home. We’ve owned our home since 2003. Nick shared the plans and drawings to build a new carport and to convert the dilapidated former garage on the alley to an accessory unit. We whole heartedly support their application for these improvements. The designs are consistent with not only the character of the neighborhood but with the character of their existing home, that they have painstakingly and lovingly restored. Regards, Dr. Jeffrey and JoAnne Youngkin ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: Terry Meenehan To: David Conner < Cc: Nick Vo < > > >; Nancy Bass Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2024 at 09:00:01 AM CST Subject: Vo Residence - 4016 Duval Street David, I am the property owner for 4100 Duval Street, and I am the immediate neighbor (to the north) of Nick and Kim Vo. I have seen the drawings of the carport and accessory unit they would like to construct. (The accessory unit will replace the existing separate structure adjacent to the alley.) I have no objection to these plans, and believe the new accessory unit, which has a design consistent with the character of the neighborhood, will be an improvement: the current structure is in poor repair.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JANUARY 8, 2025 HR-2024-148278 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1702 WEST 30TH STREET 9.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a single-family house. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS DESIGN STANDARDS Build a detached house on a lot in the Old West Austin National Register district. The demolition of the previous house on this lot, which was non-contributing to the district, was approved this year. The proposed house is two-stories, with a combination of side-gabled and hipped roof, as well as a carport oriented towards the street. 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 Proposed footprint of the house is within the required setback, and in line with other houses on the block and neighborhood. Houses on this street do not typically have one uniform wall depth along the front elevation, which is also the case in this design. No secondary structures are proposed at the sides or rear of the property. 2. Orientation The main orientation of the house towards the street, which is the case on all other properties on the block and typical of the overall district. 3. Scale, massing, and height When combined with the required setback at the property, the scale of this new construction does not visually overtake its neighbors. Though the two-story height is uncommon on this block (though still present at multiple properties), the design uses a slight step-back, in which a one-story section projects further forward than the two-story section. 4. Proportions The proportions of the design are generally similar to the surrounding contributing properties. Similar two-story designs have been constructed on the same block, where non-contributing or vacant lots were previously present. 5. Design and style No historic style is being emulated in this proposed design, and it is sufficiently differentiated. Materials such as horizontal wood siding and brick are present in the district, but the rhythm and spacing at this house read as modern without becoming overbearing. The modern design is visually bisected up by the center, two-story projection. However, no distinct styles are being combined, as referenced in Standard 5.5. 6. Roofs Complex roof patterns, consisting of both gabled and hipped systems, are present in this design. …

DATE: January 8, 2025 TO: Mr. Upal Barua, Assistant Director Transportation and Public Works Department City of Austin 901 S. Mopac Expressway Bldg. 5, Suite 300 Austin, Texas 78746 RE: W. 12th Street Parking Dear Mr. Barua, On January 8, 2025, the Historic Landmark Commission took public comment and considered a development plan for the project located at 1113-1115 West Lynn Street. This project also has frontage on W. 12th Street where head-in parking has served the site for the past 74 years. The Historic Landmark Commission strongly supports the perpetuation of this parking to be maintained to serve the proposed redevelopment of the site. The basis for this support is as follows: 1) The Nau’s Pharmacy and Anthony’s Laundry building were constructed in 1951 and an integral component of the operations was the placement of the parking along W. 12th Street. 2) The 12th Street parking served the community with available parking for quick and easy access to the two businesses. 3) The developer of the new project is bound by Restrictive Covenants as well as with the recommendation from HLC to maintain the exact appearance of the Nau’s façade along W. 12, including the existing mural. This W. 12th Street parking has been entwined and connected with this historically important façade since its construction. 4) The W. 12th Street parking is as historic to the fabric of the community as the structures. 5) The nature of the parking on W. 12th Street has no more impact to the vehicles on W. 12th street than what exists today. This parking has been here for 74 years with no known issues. Though beyond our experience and purview, it seems the dead end of 12th street one block west would preclude this from becoming a higher traffic street in the future, as might be the case with West Lynn Street, where head-in parking is being removed as part of this project. Therefore, on January 8, 2025, the Historic Landmark Commission has voted to strongly supported retaining the W. 12th street parking. Respectfully submitted, Historic Landmark Commission
