1412 PRESTON HISTORIC REVIEW General Standards – 1.The proposed project removes intact historic material from the building’s exterior and replaces elements that do not appear to be deteriorated beyond repair. Replacement materials and elements do not look the same as the existing materials. - The proposed material replacements are necessary due to the deteriorated condition of the existing siding. While it may not have initially appeared beyond repair, upon closer inspection, the siding was completely rotted, with no existing substrate to support it. Additionally, the historic windows were sitting directly on the deteriorated material, further compromising structural integrity. - To ensure the long-term durability and historic character of the home, the rear siding will be replaced with new Hardie siding, matching the original in size, profile, and appearance. On the front façade, only the rotted siding will be replaced, using brick that matches the existing brick, while all existing brick will remain in place and be repainted. - This approach not only preserves the home’s architectural integrity but also creates a cohesive, historically compatible design that aligns with the character of Preston Street, where most brick houses feature fully bricked exteriors without the introduction of additional materials. The decision to unify the façade with brick is based on contextual precedent and ensures a low-maintenance, long-lasting solution in keeping with the surrounding historic streetscape. Preston brick homes examples a. b. C. d. 3. Roofs The proposed project replaces the shingle roof in-kind, but changes the roofline at the main façade. It adds decorative copper awnings that were not historically present. - The proposed roof work primarily consists of an in-kind replacement of the existing shingles, ensuring no changes to the overall structure except for necessary repairs. - The front porch roofline modification is a carefully considered design choice that enhances the openness of the porch while remaining scaled appropriately in relation to the existing garage hip, front house hip, and second-story hip. By introducing a gentle pitch that ties into the existing hip roof, the design maintains visual harmony with the home’s original massing. - Additionally, this modification is informed by contextual precedent, as it complements the rooflines and porch openings of other homes along Preston Avenue. The decorative copper awnings, while not historically present, are designed to be proportionate and compatible with the architectural character of the home, serving as an accent that enhances the overall aesthetic without disrupting historical …
GTT RESPONSE - Volz Rebuttal HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE: The claim that this home was designed by Kelly and Nancy McAdams appears to be unverified and inconsistent with available records. 1. City of Austin records and the DEED list the Zidd family as residents in 1959, and historical documentation identifies them as physicians, with no clear connection to the McAdams. It also indicates that the home was designed in 1950 for Christopher Claus Eckhoff, who later sold the property to the Zidd family. Deed timeline: - 1949 home was built for Eckhoff. He sold the house to the Zedds - 1959 the Zedds lived in this home and passed in 1968 - 1970 Cooper Raymond lived here till 1985 - 1985 Cooper Raymond sold the house to Kelly E+ Ina Ray McAdams (Kelly R+ Nancy’s parents/inlaws) - Kelly E and Ina Ray McAdams lived in this house for 3 years and sold it in 1987 to John and Janis Dailey - 1987 John and Janis Dailey owned the home and also used it as a rental property until 2024. - 2024 John and Janis Dailey sold the home to the Camerons Given these inconsistencies, it is important that any discussions regarding the home’s historical significance be based on factual evidence and verified documentation. Without concrete records linking 1412 Preston to the McAdams, the assertion that it is one of their surviving designs is speculative and does not provide a justified basis for additional historic designation considerations. At the end of the day, we are here to discuss bringing the home back to its intended use of a single family home. See the following: 2. Our approach to 1412 Preston Avenue is guided by principles provided by the city, engaging the city, respecting the existing with simple facts: ● We have followed the due process of applying for the permit Dec 19th, obtaining a demo permit Jan 29th, albeit with a minor mistake by the builder/subs which will (and has not) happened again. And we apologize for the mistake and miscommunication. ● We are committed to preserving the existing structure, ensuring that any modifications respect the original design while enhancing functionality. Our goal is to save the house and bring it back to its original intent as a single family dwelling, from a rental property. And doing this in a respectful fashion. ● The planned modifications aim to adapt the home for contemporary …
1412 Preston Ave. Objec�on to Proposed Building Permit. March 3, 2025 Candace & John Volz 1406 Preston Ave. Our objec�on to the proposed building permit is based on three concerns: 1)1412 Preston is a contribu�ng structure in our Old West Aus�n Na�onal Register Historic District (OWANRHD). The house is significant in that it was designed and built in the mid-1950s by Aus�n architect Kelly McAdams (1929-2014) and his wife Nancy Reeves McAdams (1929- 2005), also an architect. Kelly, based on his obituary, graduated “from the School of Architecture of The University of Texas at Aus�n in 1951. While s�ll a student, he passed the state architectural registra�on examina�on and became a registered architect at 21 years of age. A�er gradua�on, he worked in Aus�n as an associate architect with R. Gommel Roessner, FAIA, and as a partner with his wife Nancy R. McAdams, AIA, designing mid-century modern residences in Balcones Park, Pemberton Heights and Rosedale. As a staff architect with the firm of Page Southerland Page, he prepared the construc�on drawings of many Aus�n landmark buildings, including the Bergstrom AFB headquarters building (now the Airport Hilton Hotel) and the Headliners Club in the Westgate Tower. In 1968 he began work toward a master's degree in architecture and developed innova�ve computer methodologies for technical drawings and solar energy calcula�ons. He joined the faculty of the School of Architecture in 1970 and taught construc�on drawings and computer graphics un�l his re�rement from the University in 1988. For several years he served as Assistant to the Dean of Architecture with responsibility for advising students seeking admission to the School.” Nancy Reeves, from her obituary, “married Kelly R. McAdams of Aus�n in 1950, while both were seniors in the School of Architecture at The University of Texas at Aus�n. A�er gradua�ng in 1951, they prac�ced architecture together and as members of other firms. Pursuing an interest in research, Nancy returned to campus in 1961 and earned a Master of Library Science degree. In 1965 she began 20 years of service to the University, first as manager of the Architecture Library; then as Associate Director of General Libraries; as the Libraries project director for construc�on and occupancy of the Perry-Castaneda Library, Fine Arts Library and several other campus libraries; and finally as Associate Director of the Office of Planning Services, where she facilitated new construc�on and renova�on projects of all kinds for the Main and …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS MAY 7, 2025 SB-2025-030746 CONGRESS AVENUE HISTORIC DISTRICT 600 CONGRESS AVENUE 15.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Install a sign on a non-contributing building in a historic district. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Fabrication and installation of a sign for a Chick-fil-A restaurant on the 6th Street façade of 600 Congress Avenue. The proposed signage is larger than what is currently in place for the same tenant at the location. DESIGN STANDARDS The City of Austin Signage Guidelines are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: New Signage 1. Number of signs The guidelines state that one sign may be approved per façade module. While there are two existing small signs for this tenant (including a blade and a wall sign) that will be retained, neither are exactly within the façade module where the proposed is to be installed. However, allowing for three total signs for one tenant may not be in keeping with intention of the design standards. 2. Sign types Proposed sign is flush mounted to the wall and is not proposed to project out any further than the depth of the sign assembly. The sign is not proposed to be anchored into masonry, so there are no concerns about potential damage to historic material. 3. Sign size Proposed size is around 15 square feet, under the maximum allowable size of 20 square feet. 4. Sign design, coloring and materials Two options for colors are proposed, either white and red or black and red. Either of these options is approvable. Material is proposed to be acrylic with trimless channel illumination. 5. Lettering Lettering is one font and in keeping with the brand. 6. Lighting Sign will be internally lit, which is not allowed by the design guidelines for cabinet signs. However, this is not a true rectangular cabinet sign, and illumination would be consistent across the width without “hot zones.” 8. Sign placement Proposed location is above the entrance, in the location of a similar sign which will be replaced. Bottom of sign is above the required 9 feet, and it does not cover architectural features. 9. Sign mounting Sign is proposed to be mounted to a new storefront design, which will not negatively impact the masonry behind it. Summary The project meets some of the applicable standards. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the application, but recommend …

ARCHITECTURE The building is a side-gabled Minimal Traditional house with single-hung metal windows and a rectangular plan. RESEARCH The house at 4517 Avenue D was built in 1946 by the Floyd C. Gaines Company. Its first resident, Lula Meek, was a widow. She rented a room to bookkeeper and fellow widow Vera Lockhart. By the mid-1950s, the house was sold to the Walther family. Victor Walther was a stonemason. He and his wife, Pearl, lived at 4517 Avenue D until 1956. PROPERTY EVALUATION The 2020 North Central historic resource survey lists the property as contributing to potential local and National Register historic districts. 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 for landmark designation: a. Architecture. The building is constructed in the Minimal Traditional style according to the North Central survey. 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.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS MAY 7, 2025 PR-2025-042345; GF-2025-045588 1010 WEST JOHANNA STREET 17.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1935 house. ARCHITECTURE The modest house at 1010 West Johanna Street is located in the Bouldin Creek survey area, set on pier-and-beam foundation with a vented concrete skirt on all sides. The main house features a side gable roof, with a front porch extending towards the street covered by a front gable. This front porch extends across the middle half of the house and is supported by decorative metal supports at the corners. One 6/6 window, likely a replacement, is present at the front elevation, along with a non-original sliding doorway. All sides of the house are clad in narrow teardrop siding painted pink. Roof overhangs are modest, and, apart from the front door and window, most other architectural elements appear to be original. RESEARCH From its construction around 1935 until at least the 1960s, the house at 1010 West Johanna Street was occupied by renters who worked various jobs around the city, including drivers, delivery people, and general laborers. Most newspaper listings that referenced this address were for rentals of the four-room cottage, as well as birth notifications, which indicates the typical age of residents as well as the turnover of renters at the address. PROPERTY EVALUATION The 2015 Bouldin Creek Historic Resource Survey lists the property as a medium priority. 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 good example of simple residential bungalow architecture from its period of construction in the Bouldin Creek area. 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 Encourage …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS MAY 7, 2025 PR-2025-043280; GF-2025-045598 2907 BEANNA STREET 18.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1929 house. ARCHITECTURE Built in the Craftsman style with Tudor Revival elements, the house at 2907 Beanna Street is a single-story residence built on pier and beam foundation with a moderate-to-highly pitched roof, exaggerating the verticality common to the Tudor style. The most prominent feature is the brick chimney near the center of the front elevation, which is multi-tonal and textured brick and features two curves that taper its width as it extends above the front wall. A door at one side features an arched top and four small lites which again evoke the Tudor Revival style. Two sets of paired windows finish out the front elevation details, which appear to be original. The house is clad in lapped shingle on all sides. The house has high integrity and is in good condition. RESEARCH Upon construction around 1929, the house was occupied for renters for several years. The most notable of these were Timothy & Mabel Moynihan, the former of whom worked as a line coach for the University of Texas football team. Upon his departure to seek a coaching job elsewhere, the house was purchased by Benjamin and Mary Freeborough, who would own the house for the next several decades. Benjamin Freeborough worked as an engineer for the Texas State Highway Department and later the Asphault Institute. During his time working for the state, he oversaw the development of hundreds, if not thousands, of miles of road construction now known as Farm-to-Market routes. He retired after 30 years of service at the agency. PROPERTY EVALUATION The 2019 North Loop-Hancock-Boggy Creek survey lists the property as a medium priority. 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 an excellent example of Craftsman and Tudor Revival architecture. 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.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS APRIL 2, 2025 HR-2025-026162 MARY STREET LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT 503 EAST MARY STREET 3.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a rear addition. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS ARCHITECTURE Behind the existing house, construct a single-story addition that roughly doubles the size of conditioned space. The addition projects back from the original house and it slightly wider to one side. This single-story house located in the Mary Street Local Historic District is described a neoclassical in style and features a broad front porch that extends across the entire front elevation. The deep porch is supported by four modestly decorated wooden columns, which support a moderately-pitched side gable roof. A wide stair accesses the porch from the street, and a simple wood rail lines the perimeter. Two wide hung windows flank the front door, which is off-center from the stairs. The roof has been replaced since original construction, but otherwise the house retains its original integrity with modifications only occurring to finishes and the front entry. DESIGN STANDARDS The Mary Street Historic District Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Contributing Properties: Additions 1. Location By locating the addition at the rear, the front elevation, along with character-defining elements, are retained. The addition connects to the original building at the entirety of the rear wall, which includes a substantial amount of exterior wall area, but it will be minimally visible from the right of way and original architectural details are minimal at this elevation. The roof of the addition is hidden behind the front’s side gabled roof. 2. Height The maximum height of the addition is lower than the original, and it is obscured by the moderately-pitched side gable roof. 3. Design and Style Design details generally compliment the original house is size and form, without adding inappropriate decoration or complexity. Door and fenestration patterns are acceptable to differentiate addition from original while not looking out of place. The building’s shape, when viewed from the street, is minimally altered. 4. Exterior Walls Painted siding is proposed at the rear addition, similar to the original house. However, the boards are to be oriented vertically to differentiate. This vertical alignment is not board-and-batten and will not be read as such where visible from the right- of-way. 5. Porches No alteration to the existing porch, and no additional …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS APRIL 2, 2025 PR-2024-159632; GF-2024-161879 WEST LINE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 705 WEST LYNN STREET 5.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1895 house. ARCHITECTURE The house located at 705 West Lynn Street is a single-story, center passage house with a side gabled roof set at a moderate- to-high pitch. The single front door is centered on the house with one 2/2 window on either side. There is a front porch that extends across the entirety of the front façade, supported by four columns. Due to the elevation of the site, the porch sits nearly at grade towards the front of the lot, but at the rear of the property is a full height unconditioned crawlspace or basement. While the footprint of the building may read as a simple rectangular center hall design, the rear extends further back into the lot, including an enclosed porch. There is also a small frame shed on the site, which is also proposed to be demolished. The shed is not mentioned in the West Line National Register nomination. RESEARCH From its construction around 1895 until 1962, the property was owned by the Quick family. John Quick, a carpenter originally from Sweden, was the first listed owner, and later married a woman named Helen, who was also a first-generation Swedish immigrant. Newspaper records indicate that Helen’s sister immigrated to Texas around 1893, though it is unknown whether the sisters arrived together or separately. The Quicks were involved with the local Methodist Church, with the address on West Lynn hosting a circle of the Women’s Society of Christian Service. John Quick died of natural causes in 1945, and Helen occupied the house until her passing in 1962 at the age of 91. The house was left unoccupied for several years after, but by the 1970s, it was occupied by renters. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the West Line National Register district, and the nomination further lists the property as eligible for individual listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high-to-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 good example of a center-passage …

Steering Committee Members: Steve Amos, Chair Renae Alsobrook, Mark Ashby, Evelyn Fujimoto, Adrienne Goldsberry, Paula Hern, Nick Mehl, William Osborn, Charlie Rice, Paul Shattuck, Shawn Shillington, Erika Tatum, Meghan Yancy February 3, 2025 RE: 705 West Lynn - PR-2024-159632; GF-2024-161879 Dear Chair Heimsath and HLC Commissioners, Old West Austin Neighborhood Association, OWANA, supports retaining contributing structures in our historic district and integrating existing building forms into the overall project for new development. In the case of 705 West Lynn, preserving the façade and front rooms of the existing house and adding on to the structure would have a significant impact toward that goal. The applicant met with the OWANA zoning committee and we suggested these two options for maximizing the square footage for two living units: 1. Add a second floor to a garage structure. 2. Remove a portion or all of the heritage tree on the lot to allow for a second unit. This particular case is one that is to decide on keeping a heritage tree or a contributing structure. OWANA will support the position of keeping the contributing structure. We hope that HLC can also recommend keeping the structure. We are aware that the city tree ordinance regarding heritage trees is very strict, it seems to us in this case that if both OWANA and the HLC supports this position there is the possibility of the city arborist accepting this solution. The potential Owner in today’s meeting said that he could keep the first 15 ft of the house and make the project work if the heritage tree in the back of the lot could be removed. The tree is so close to the rear structure that it might be damaged during construction. It could be the case that some mitigation is require to offset this lost. The United States Department of the Interior National Park Service Report “NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES REGISTRATION FORM” lists 705 West Lynn as a representative property to illustrate “the broad patterns of development, diverse range of resources, and salient features of the dominant types and styles present in the district. They have been selected on the basis of their geographic distribution, relationship to similar properties, and degree of integrity.” Listed as a contributing structure, 705 West Lynn is a Center-passage, Side Gable Classical Revival style, and individually eligible for National Register listing. Please consider our position in your decision process …
6.0 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS APRIL 2, 2025 PR-2025-020446; HR-2025-023066 CLARKSVILLE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1820 WEST 10TH STREET PROPOSAL Build a rear addition and two-story detached structure. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Construct an addition at the rear of the existing contributing property. 2) Construct a two-story housing unit behind the main house at the rear of the property. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH This property, constructed around 1922, features a front porch that extends almost the entire width of the front elevation, which is covered by an ample gable end supported by four wood posts. The house is elevated on piers, and the porch is surrounded by a concrete skirt. A front door at the front wall is off center, along with three hung 1/1 wood windows. All exterior walls are clad in wood horizontal siding. The house retains good integrity. For the first few decades after its construction, the property was occupied by various renters and tenants. These individuals included Cora Clark, who worked at a cook at a university sorority and Jas and Louise Valdez, one of whom worked as a salesperson. By 1952, the house was owned by Mrs. Robbie Buford, with a previous resident, Pearl Allen, a widow, listed as a renter. Mrs. Buford worked in various jobs, including as a maid and a cook. In 1959, the property was acquired by E.A. Arnold. 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 additions 1. Location Addition is located at the rear of the contributing building. The physical connection and loss of historic material between existing and proposed only occurs at one room. 2. Scale, massing, and height Addition is a single-story, and the peak of the roof pitch is slightly lower than at the original house. The addition is offset slightly to differentiate it visually. 3. Design and style The design of the addition is simple and compatible with the historic. Some elements, such as roof form and window sizes, are slightly different in order to be read as not original. 4. Roofs Proposed roof is set at an equal pitch to the main house but is slightly shorter at maximum height and is hipped at the rear, which …

7 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS APRIL 2, 2025 PR-2025-009478; GF-2025-017631 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 2307 WINDSOR ROAD #2 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1950 house and outbuilding. ARCHITECTURE 2307 Windsor Road #2 is a two-story Mid-century Modern house with a flat roof, rustic stone and board-and-batten cladding, expansive fixed windows, a substantial stone chimney, and an inset carport at the one-story portion of the house. The building is set back between Windsor and East Windsor Roads, accessible only by a steeply sloped drive behind two street-frontage houses and invisible from both Windsor and East Windsor. Its stepped-down form nestles into the hillside with a two-story bank of windows facing downtown. RESEARCH The house at 2307 Windsor Road #2, originally addressed as 2300 East Windsor Road, was constructed in 1950 for Judge Trueman O’Quinn and his family. O’Quinn, an attorney, graduated from the University of Texas after reporting and editing for the Beaumont Enterprise, the Austin American, and the Daily Texan.1 While still a student, he was elected to the 42nd Texas Legislature representing Jefferson County from 1931 to 1932. After a few years in private practice, O’Quinn worked as an Austin assistant city attorney and was appointed chief City Attorney in 1939, a position he held until 1950. During World War II, he worked as Staff Judge Advocate after the Allied invasion of Normandy and occupation of Germany.2 The Windsor Road house was constructed in 1950, the same year O’Quinn left city government for private practice. Throughout the 1960s and ‘70s, he held numerous public and political posts, including 14 years as Travis County’s Democratic Party Chairman and as the official legal counsel for the University of Texas. He was appointed to the Third Court of Civil Appeals in 1967 and served for thirteen years.3 O’Quinn was best known for his role as a prolific collector and prominent amateur historian of William Sydney Porter, the American author known as O. Henry. “For almost half a century he gathered first editions, photos, manuscripts, and other memorabilia. He donated the staggering collection to The O. Henry Resources at the Austin History Center in 1982, a contribution without parallel,” notes Britney Jeffrey in the Texas State Historical Association’s Handbook of Texas. “Throughout his adult life, O'Quinn wrote articles and delivered speeches.”4 He was instrumental in saving two O. Henry residences from demolition, though one burned in …
