HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION MARCH 22, 2021 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0479 5613 PATTON RANCH ROAD D.1 - 1 PROPOSAL Deconstruct and move a log cabin and two log outbuildings that date from around 1870. ARCHITECTURE The main structure on the site is a ca. 1870 log cabin with a limestone fireplace, exterior chimney, and foundation. The house has several more recent additions and the windows and doors have been replaced with more modern units. Also on the site and subject to the permit applications are two outbuildings: a pole barn constructed of stacked timber with stone chinking, and a log crib. The date of construction of the outbuildings is not known. RESEARCH STAFF COMMENTS It appears that this complex as the home of James A. Patton, who settled in the Oak Hill neighborhood around 1870. Patton deeded this land to his son Robert, who in turn left it to his own daughter, Nellie Patton Miller. Later documents refer to this site as the Miller Ranch house. The structures were documented in the Historic Resources Survey of Southwest Travis County, commissioned by the Travis County Historical Commission in 2015, which recommended that this complex was eligible for individual listing in the National Register of Historic Places, and contributing to a potential historic district. Staff initially facilitated negotiations between the property owners and the leadership at Pioneer Farms, which would be willing to accept the cabin and outbuildings for future use and interpretation on their museum property. However, neighborhood residents expressed concern with this significant resource leaving the area. The applicant has since considered alternatives that would retain the cabin closer to its original location and provided a proposal to the Oak Hill Association of Neighborhoods for consideration. STAFF RECOMMENDATION While staff can support relocation of the cabin in the interest of its preservation, details of the proposed solution were not available at the time of this report.

ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story, flat-roofed house constructed of concrete masonry units with some limestone cladding under the partial-width porch. The house at 702 Huerta Street (originally 702 Acorn Place) was built around 1948. The earliest listed owners were William J. and Bobbie A. Greenawalt, who resided in the house for much of the 1950s. By 1959, Margarito C. “Mike” Huerta and Mary Louise Calderon owned the home. Huerta was a short- and long-haul truck driver who had a 52-year business relationship with Capital Aggregates. In the 1990s, the City honored him for being Austin’s oldest truck driver with an exemplary driving record, renaming Acorn Place to Huerta Street in his honor. Huerta lived in the house until his death in 2014. STAFF COMMENTS 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate to low integrity. 3) Properties must meet two historic designation criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated this house for designation as a historic landmark and has determined that the house does not meet the criteria for landmark designation as set forth in City Code: a) Architecture. The house does not appear to convey architectural significance. b) Historical association. The house was the longtime residence of Margarito “Mike” Huerta, for c) Archaeology. The house was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the whom the street is named. human history or prehistory of the region. d) Community value.

ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story bungalow with horizontal wood siding, hipped roof with clipped gable at façade, partial-width porch, and attached carport. Fenestration includes paired 1:1 windows and replacement picture window. The house at 1308 Travis Heights Boulevard was built around 1922 by Woodhull T. and Thelma Lehmann. The Lehmanns did not stay in the house long; by 1927 they had sold the property to the Maloy family, its longest-term residents. James J. Maloy worked as a hardware clerk at the Walter Tips Company. Mary Maloy was an active leader in charity work for St. Ignatius Catholic Church. She helped to found the Home of the Holy Infancy, a charity for dependent infants at Seton Hospital, and served as its president. After Mary Maloy’s death in 1944, her son, James H. Maloy, and his wife, Edna, occupied the home. Upon returning from Europe as a veteran of World War II, Maloy worked as a projectionist for various schools and theaters. Maloy was an active union member and volunteered as a film educator. STAFF COMMENTS The house is listed as a potentially contributing resource in the pending Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register Historic District. 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate to low integrity. 3) Properties must meet two historic designation criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352).

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION MARCH 22, 2021 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS PR-20-183612 1601 BRACKENRIDGE STREET D.2 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1915 house. ARCHITECTURE One-and-a-half story, rectangular-plan, side-gabled frame Craftsman bungalow with a central, partial-width, front-gabled dormer; single, paired, and triple fenestration in 1:1, 6:1, and 9:1 patterns; exterior brick chimney. It appears that the original front porch of the house was infilled, and that the windows currently on the front of the house were the original windows before the porch was infilled. Staff has reviewed the structural report for the house. While there are significant structural issues, staff argues that the house can be salvaged. RESEARCH The house appears to have been built around 1915 by William M. and Lettie Webster Davis, both teachers at the Texas School for the Deaf. Lettie Webster Davis was originally from Grayson County, Texas, and moved to Austin around 1903. She first boarded with noted deaf teacher William H. Davis, at his home on Newning Avenue (a city historic landmark). She married William M. Davis, a teacher in the manual department of the deaf institute, in 1911, and four years later either built or moved in to this house on Brackenridge Street, where they lived until William passed away in 1947 after a close-to-40-year career in deaf education. After his death, Lettie Davis moved to a house on Oakland Avenue in West Austin, across the street from her family’s home, where her sisters still resided. Both William and Lettie Davis taught at the Deaf School during a time of great upheaval in the methods of teaching deaf students and successfully adapted their teaching methods accordingly. As educators moved away from sign language in favor of “oralism” - reliance on lip reading, many deaf teachers were replaced with hearing teachers. Students who did not succeed with the oralist approach to deaf education were sent to the “manual” department, where they were taught to spell with their fingers. Both William Davis and Lettie Webster Davis came from families that devoted their careers and lives to deaf education. Lettie Davis’ sister, Jessie Webster, was one of the longest-tenured instructors at the institution. After William M. Davis’ death, and Lettie Davis’ move back to her old neighborhood in West Austin, this house had a series of owner-occupants through the mid-1950s. Betsy Pinkerton opened Betsy’s Nursery School and Kindergarten in this house around 1955; it operated here until …
Historic Landmark Commission Case #PR-20-183612 Permit for Demolition of house at 1601 Brackenridge Street Dear members of the Austin Historic Landmark Commission, Join us! The cultural and architectural identity of our South Austin neighborhood is under assault. AGAIN! Please join in our neighborly effort to preserve the historical home at 1601 Brackenridge Street. This 105- year-old house is of invaluable historic significance, listed as contributing to the pending Travis Heights- Fairview Park National Historic Register. Too many times we have gone for walks in our neighborhood only to find that another charming, unique old house has been leveled by a developer and replaced with god knows what? If we wanted to be surrounded by shiny glass and steel structures, we’d live downtown in a high-rise condo. But we choose to live in our neighborhood because of its eclectic charm, peaceful ambiance, and timeless community feel. Also, as a community, we cannot overlook the roles played by William Davis and Lettie Webster Davis at the Texas School for the Deaf and the influence the school has had in our community – especially in South Austin. The history of this house and its original residents tells part of the story of that influence. So many of the staff members and the individuals served by the Texas School for the Deaf lived in the Travis Heights-Fairview Park neighborhood. Travis County became a leader in providing services to the deaf because of William Davis and Lettie Webster Davis. Unfortunately, the deaf community is all too often treated as invisible. Preserving this house is an opportunity to acknowledge meaningful respect to the deaf community’s contribution to the rich cultural quilt that is South Austin. This Craftsman bungalow at 1601 Brackenridge is an example of the architecture that is part of the eclectic nature that is our neighborhood. Craftsman architecture is an integral style in the Travis Heights- Fairview Park neighborhood and – as in all things eclectic – these homes are one of those threads that define this area of South Austin. We are hopeful that the Historic Landmark Commission’s reputation for not confusing “new and shiny” for advancement will prevail, and this salient part of our culture -- as well as our architectural history – will be preserved. In particular, we request that the Commissioners specifically protect this important property and reject the request to destroy another piece of South Austin. Thank you for …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION JANUARY 25, 2021 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS PR-20-174961 2803 BONNIE ROAD D.3 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1938 house. ARCHITECTURE One-and-a-half story wing-and-gable plan, brick veneered Tudor Revival styled house with a steeply pitched gablet over the round-arched front entry, exterior stone chimney, and single and paired 6:1 fenestration. RESEARCH The house was built in 1938 for Frank D. and Ollie Lloyd, who lived here until around 1940. Frank D. Lloyd was a Louisiana-born storekeeper for the City. Prior to building this house, the Lloyds had lived at 609 Patterson Avenue; it was to that address that they moved after living here. A widow, Ada G. Benedict, bought the house in the mid-1940s and converted the attic to a room and a bath in 1942. Thomas P. Callier, a salesman, and his wife, Margaret are listed as the owners and occupants of the house in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Around 1953, the house was purchased by Ben F. Reichert and his wife, Iva, who lived here until the mid- 1970s; both were natives of Cameron, Texas. Benjamin Franklin Reichert was a sales rep for KVET radio station in the 1950s; he then became a salesman for a business machine company, and later became a right-of-way agent for the Texas Highway Department. Iva Reichert was a typist for the State Department of Public Welfare. STAFF COMMENTS The house is beyond the bounds of any City survey to date. Staff has evaluated this house for designation as a historic landmark and has determined that the house does not squarely meet the criteria for landmark designation as set forth in City Code. Its Tudor Revival architecture typifies this period of development in Tarrytown, and the house would certainly be contributing to a potential historic district, but does not meet a second criterion for designation as required by Code. a. Architecture. The house is an excellent example of 1930s Tudor Revival residential architecture with its brick veneer siding, steeply pitched gablet over the front door, and window configuration. The scale and architecture of this house typifies late 1930s development in West Austin; the house meets the criterion for architectural distinction in its own right, and as a good example of an architectural style popular in the neighborhood. b. Historical association. The house was first owned and occupied by a storekeeper for the City; they moved here from a …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION JANUARY 25, 2021 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS PR-20-186435 1904 MOUNTAIN VIEW ROAD D.4 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1949 house. ARCHITECTURE One-story, irregular-plan brick house with a flat roof and metal-framed fenestration in a horizontal 2:2 configuration. The house reflects tenets of the International Style, made popular by the designs of architect Philip Johnson in the 1930s, and featuring a boxy composition, use of rectilinear forms, and a lack of surface ornamentation or decoration, in contrast with the Art Deco and Streamline Moderne styles popular at around the same time. The International Style was generally considered a style for commercial buildings, but there are also examples of the style applied to residential construction. The house was designed by prominent Austin architect Howard R. Barr as part of the Acme Ceramic Housing Project. Of the remaining test houses, this house appears to be the most intact. RESEARCH The house at 1904 Mountain View Road was one of six houses constructed as part of the Acme Ceramic Housing Project, a research endeavor conducted by the Bureau of Engineering Research at the University of Texas and sponsored by the Acme Brick Company. It compared houses of all clay tile construction with a control house of more conventional frame construction. The experiment sought to determine benefits of structural tile foundations in expansive soils and use the thermal storage capacity of masonry in conjunction with innovative heating and cooling systems. This test house was designed by Howard R. Barr as an associate architect at Giesecke, Kuehne & Brooks. Barr joined the firm following service in the Navy in World War II. He later became a partner this prominent Austin firm, known successively as Kuehne, Brooks & Barr; Brooks and Barr; and Brooks, Barr, Graeber and White before merging with 3D/International. Barr retired from 3D/I in 1978 and opened a private practice. Among his firms’ best-known works are buildings at Huston-Tillotson University and the University of Texas at Austin, including the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library with Skidmore, Owings and Merrill; the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City; and the original complex of the Johnson Space Center in Houston. Additionally, this house on Mountainview Road was the last house in Austin owned by Edmond C. and Ruth V. Rather, who lived here from around 1951 at least until Edmond died in 1974. Edmond Rather was born in Kaufman, Texas in either 1897 or …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION MARCH 22, 2021 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS PR-2020-192534 503 E. ANNIE STREET D.5 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1931 house. ARCHITECTURE One-story, rectangular-plan, side-gabled frame house with a central, front-gabled entry bay; paired 1:1 fenestration on the main elevation; single and paired 1:1 fenestration elsewhere; standing seam metal roof. RESEARCH The house appears to have been built in 1931, based upon city directory records and a sewer service permit issued for this address. The first owner and occupant was Elmer D. Wiginton, who may have moved in here as early as 1931 with a wife named Patricia (who only shows up in the 1932-33 city directory), or with his wife Lillian who appears in all later city directories; they married in April of 1932. Elmer D. Wiginton was an accountant for the City Auditing Department; he and Lillian lived here until 1940, when the moved to a house on Bonnieview in Fairview Park. The next owners and occupants, who lived here from around 1948 until at least 1974, were Tom B. and Rena Woodland. Tom B. Woodland was a retired farmer from Concho County, Texas; while living in Austin, he worked as a watchman. Rena Woodland was a saleslady in various hardware stores, including Woodland Hardware on South Congress Avenue, operated by Webb and David C. Woodland, Jr., possible relatives. STAFF COMMENTS The house is listed as contributing to the pending Travis Heights National Register Historic District. Staff has evaluated this house for designation as a historic landmark and has determined that the house, while clearly contributing to the pending historic district, does not meet the criteria for landmark designation as set forth in City Code: a. Architecture. The house is a ca. 1931 Craftsman cottage, typical of many in the neighborhood, and characterizing a large number of middle class residences in Travis Heights. This house does not reflect the architectural distinction necessary for qualification as a historic landmark under this criterion. b. Historical association. The house was first owned by an accountant for the city, and then by a retired farmer and his wife, who worked as a saleslady in a hardware store. There do not appear to be significant historical associations. c. Archaeology. The house was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d. Community value. The house does not possess a unique …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION MARCH 22, 2021 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS PR-2020-192260 3404 GOVALLE AVE. D.6 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish frame portions behind a 1955 masonry church. ARCHITECTURE The former Loyalty Missionary Baptist Church building is a front-gabled concrete masonry unit church with a projecting entry bay flanked by large buttresses on the front elevation and regularly spaced vertical windows between shallow buttresses on the side elevations. A rear frame portion abuts the north (back) wall of the masonry church. A taller gabled volume with paired wood doors on the east and three rows of windows on the west is intersected by a lower wing to the north. Both portions are clad in asbestos shingles and have Craftsman details including knee braces and exposed rafter tails. RESEARCH Govalle Baptist Church was a white congregation active from ca. 1939 to 1976. The church erected a two- story frame building at 3402 Govalle Road in 1939, consisting of an auditorium and seven rooms. Newspaper articles report PTA meetings held in the building’s basement. It is unclear whether this is the frame structure proposed for demolition; the applicant reports that the frame portions were moved to the site after the masonry church was built in 1955. The Govalle Baptist Church congregation merged with Beacon Ridge Baptist Church in 1976. In the same year, the newly formed Loyalty Missionary Baptist Church, an African American congregation, acquired this building. STAFF COMMENTS 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high integrity. 3) Properties must meet two historic designation criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated this church for designation as a historic landmark and has determined that it does not appear to meet the criteria for landmark designation as set forth in City Code: a) Architecture. While the church has a unique design, it does not necessarily qualify for historic landmark designation under this criterion. b) Historical association. While associated with two former churches, no significant historic events were identified. c) Archaeology. The church was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d) Community value. The church is not known to 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.
