HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JULY 6, 2022 HR-2022-067914 TRAVIS HEIGHTS - FAIRVIEW PARK 2107 BRACKENRIDGE STREET C.7 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish ca. 1946 house and ca. 1940 accessory building and construct a new duplex. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish existing buildings and construct a new duplex. The proposed duplex has a compound flat and gabled roof clad in standing-seam metal. Its exterior cladding includes stucco, diagonal wood siding, and stone. Fenestration is irregular throughout and includes undivided fixed and casement windows and full height sliding doors. ARCHITECTURE One-story cross-gabled house with horizontal siding, 1:1 windows, and rear two-story garage apartment. RESEARCH The primary building at 2107 Brackenridge Street was built in 1946 in front of an existing garage apartment, built 1940, which was converted to a duplex in 1949. Its residents included a cleaner, two carpenters, a rental property manager, and a tailor. 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 duplex is located approximately 50’ from Brackenridge Street. 2. Orientation The front unit of the proposed duplex is oriented toward the primary streetscape. The pool fronting on Brackenridge Street is not appropriate, though the rear unit’s pool is appropriately shielded from view. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed duplex is two stories in height, with complex massing that appears at odds with the relatively simple massing of surrounding buildings. 4. Proportions The proposed duplex’s two-story height and top-heavy massing appear incompatible with nearby contributing buildings. 5. Design and style The proposed duplex’s postmodern style does not appear compatible with surrounding buildings. 6. Roofs The gabled roofline is somewhat compatible, though the complexity of the roofline is not. 7. Exterior walls The proposed cladding materials are not appropriate for the district, with the exception of the stucco, which appears elsewhere in the district. 8. Windows and doors The proposed fenestration is largely inappropriate. 11. Attached garages and carports The proposed carports somewhat serve as a step-up element to mitigate the duplex’s upper-story visual weight. Summary The project does not meet most of the applicable standards. C.7 – 2 PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building …

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Stef Schrader Tuesday, June 28, 2022 3:45 AM HPD Preservation Cases #HR-22-084258 + #HR-22-084153 - 1510 and 1512 Pease Road Follow Up Flag: Flag Status: Follow up Flagged *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** To whom it may concern: I am writing AGAINST the proposed demolition of 1512 Pease Road and AGAINST the proposed new construction at 1510 Pease Road, and I cannot understate my opposition to these projects. 1510 and 1512 are listed as contributing buildings to the historic district and should be left alone. Renovations or additions are fine, as I realize that residents in 2020 often expect homes to be upgraded a bit. Yet demolition is beyond the pale and wholly unacceptable. You have allowed the demolition of so many contributing structures to this historic district that we'll soon have too few left to even qualify as a historic district at this rate. Do your job, Historic Commission. Protect this district and the neighbors who live here. Furthermore, both 1510 and 1512 are duplexes, and while I do not know what the exact project is proposed for the site, it would be unconscionable to remove a denser form of housing for someone's single‐family new‐ build in the midst of Austin's housing crisis. As the lot that is immediately adjacent to these projects, I can also attest that construction around me has made living here a waking nightmare. I wake up to loud noises starting promptly at 7 AM that has included everything from jackhammers that make my home sound like a war zone (1601 and 1603 Woodlawn) to pile drivers in an particularly noisy style that are supposed to be banned within city limits (1602 Pease) but developers don't care. I work from home and have had to flee at times just to find enough peace and quiet to concentrate, much less carry on a Zoom call. Is this what you want? "Historic" city neighborhoods that are unbearable to live in due to construction? Construction has ruined my quality of live on a street I moved to specifically for the peace and quiet. It doesn't end there, either. I have had my tires popped by nails left by construction sites down Woodlawn and trash constantly ends up in my lawn from the construction site at 1601 Woodlawn. I went outside to check on my front lawn one morning—barefoot, as you …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JULY 6, 2022 HR-2022-084158 OLD WEST AUSTIN 1510 PEASE ROAD C.8 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS DESIGN STANDARDS Construct a new residence, pool cabana, and pool. Demolition of the existing structure was approved in January 2022. The proposed new building is two stories in height, plus habitable basement and attic levels. It has a compound cross-gabled roof clad in cedar shakes. Its exterior is clad with brick and fenestration includes six- and eight-light fixed and casement windows, with arched window at entry. It features a side-facing garage at the north elevation and a detached pool cabana. 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 building’s siting approximates that of the existing building. Both are set back about 40 feet from the street. 2. Orientation The proposed building’s orientation is consistent with the streetscape. 3. Scale, massing, and height While the building’s scale is somewhat larger and its massing more complex than other contributing buildings in the district, its street-facing façade appears compatible. 4. Proportions See 3. 5. Design and style The proposed building’s combination of modern and Tudor Revival elements is compatible with the surrounding district. 6. Roofs Though the building’s roofline is much more complex than historic-age rooflines, it appears compatible at the street-facing elevation. 7. Exterior walls The building’s brick exterior is compatible with the district. 8. Windows and doors Proposed fenestration is mostly compatible with the district. 10. Chimneys The proposed chimney does not include a boxed chimney. 11. Attached garages and carports The proposed garage is appropriately oriented away from the street-facing elevation. Summary The project mostly meets applicable standards. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Comment on plans. LOCATION MAP C.8 – 2
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JULY 6, 2022 HR-2022-084153 OLD WEST AUSTIN 1512 PEASE ROAD C.9 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish a ca. 1948 duplex and construct a new single-family house and pool. 1) Demolish existing duplex. 2) Construct a new residence. The proposed new building is two and one-half stories in height, with a compound gabled and hipped roof clad in standing-seam metal and multi-light windows of varying configurations. Its exterior is clad in board-and-batten siding, horizontal siding, and limestone with decorative slurry at the front first-floor gable. It has a front-facing carport and garage, as well as a partial-width front porch. 3) Construct a pool. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS One-story duplex with symmetrical plan, cross-gabled hipped roof, steel casement windows, and a shallow partial-width inset porch supported by decorative iron columns. The duplex at 1512 Pease Road was constructed in 1948 for Eli and Janet Engle. Eli Engle was an entrepreneur who worked for Spiegel’s department store before opening his own clothing store and laundromat 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 / in National Register districts / in [name of locally designated historic district that has adopted the Historic Design Standards] / at potential historic landmarks]. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location The proposed new building is located approximately 36 feet from the street. The existing building is set back approximately 43 feet from the street. 2. Orientation The proposed building’s orientation is consistent with others in the district, except for the front-facing garage, which does not comply with the design standards. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed building’s complex massing and 2.5-story height are not consistent with contributing building forms on the block. However, the stepped-down massing at the main elevation may mitigate scale incompatibility. 4. Proportions The proposed building’s proportions are somewhat compatible. The board-and-batten siding at the second floor increases its verticality, which may make proportions appear less appropriate. 5. Design and style The proposed building’s design and style is mostly compatible, with the exception of its overall complexity and front-facing garage. 6. Roofs The proposed roofline’s complexity is not compatible with the district, though its gabled and hipped forms are appropriate. 7. Exterior walls The proposed building’s horizontal …

Proposed new windows are vertically oriented casements and horizontal fixed windows, placed irregularly throughout. 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.

MONROE STREET C.1 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1921 building. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH PROPERTY EVALUATION One-story Craftsman bungalow with double front doors, 1:1 wood windows with 9:1 screens, exposed rafter tails and triangular brackets at gable ends, and a partial-width front porch. The cross-gabled roof is covered with corrugated metal, and the building exterior is clad in horizontal wood siding. The house at 512 E. Monroe Street was constructed around 1921 as a rental property, then sold to Buford and Mable Brown in 1928. Buford Brown worked as a life insurance salesman, a loan officer, and a cashier at the American National Bank; he held the latter position until shortly before his death in 1960. Mable Brown, a musician, was active in Austin’s music clubs and Delta Kappa Signma society. The property contributes to the Travis Heights - Fairview Park National Register district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high 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 good example of the Craftsman style. b. Historical association. The property does not appear to have significant historical associations. 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 Strongly encourage rehabilitation and adaptive reuse, then relocation, over demolition, but approve the application upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package. Plans for new construction must be reviewed by the Historic Landmark Commission prior to demolition permit release.
