HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS AUGUST 23, 2021 HR-2021-116459 CLARKSVILLE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1104 CHARLOTTE STREET C.5 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Raise house and move away from street to construct basement. Construct side addition. 1) Demolish back porch and portions of rear and southeast exterior wall and roof. 2) Move the house approximately four feet further from the street. 3) Raise the house approximately seven feet to install concrete foundation with crawlspace and basement floor. 4) Construct a two-story rear and side addition with screened porch. The proposed building’s exterior materials include fiber-cement board-and-batten siding, limestone, and stucco cladding, as well as horizontal fiber-cement skirting. It is capped by a hipped metal roof and features a flat vegetative roof at rear. 5) Install new handrails, stairs, and skylight to existing historic house. One-story square-plan cottage with hipped metal roof and partial-width porch supported by turned posts. Details include exposed rafter tails and board-and-batten siding. Symmetrical 4:4 wood windows flank the central entryway. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH The house at 1104 Charlotte Street appears to have been built around 1912. Though it was likely constructed as a rental property, it was owned and occupied by the Robinson family from 1916 until the end of the 1920s. William M. Robinson, a teamster, moved there after living with his family across the street at 1202 Charlotte Street upon his marriage. His wife, Elizabeth, worked as a laundress; one of her relatives, Nannie, stayed with them off and on over the years. By 1930, the home had been sold to James and Betty Green. After Betty Green sold the home around 1941, it was occupied by a series of renters, including a U.S. Army serviceman, a laundress, several laborers, and a Southern Union Gas employee. 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: Repair and alterations 1. General standards The proposed project minimizes the loss of historic fabric at the main elevation by restoring original windows, siding, and roof material. Some historic fabric is lost at the side and rear of the building, and its relationship to the street will change. 2.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS AUGUST 23, 2021 HR-2021-106344 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1504 HARTFORD ROAD C.6 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a rear addition and deck. Replace windows. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish rear non-historic deck and partial northwest wall and roof. 2) Replace existing wood windows with fiberglass windows of similar size and profile. 3) Construct a rear addition at west elevation. The proposed addition is clad in brick at the street-facing elevation and horizontal fiber cement siding on secondary elevations. 4) Construct a covered deck and outdoor fireplace. 5) Replace concrete drive with gravel drive. One-story cross-gabled Tudor Revival house clad in brick with arched entryway and tapered chimney. It features 1:1 and lattice windows at the main façade, as well as a fan light above the front door. The house at 1504 Hartford Road was built in 1933 for Jodie and Cecilia Jackson. Jodie Jackson, a collector for Schwann- Schulle, and Cecilia Jackson lived in the home for only a few years; they moved to Manchaca where Jodie began farming. Between 1940 and 1942, they sold the home to the Motheral family, who rented it out until the late 1940s. The Hoffman family purchased it in 1949 as their primary residence. Max Hoffman, an office manager, and his wife, Lillian, remained in the home until Lillian’s death in 1970. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH 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: Repair and alterations 5. Windows, doors, and screens The proposed alterations remove intact windows and replace them with modern fiberglass windows. The proposed replacement does not appear to modify window openings, size, or configuration. Residential additions 1. Location The proposed addition is located behind the rear wall of the historic building. 2. Scale, massing, and height The proposed addition appears subordinate to the historic house. Though the dormer and side door will be visible from the street, the depth of the existing house may minimize visual impact. 3. Design and style The proposed addition appears appropriately compatible from the street, and its modern materials, roofline, and fenestration pattern at the rear differentiate it from the historic home. 4. Roofs The proposed addition’s roof form is compatible with the existing roofline, …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS AUGUST 23, 2021 HR-2021-119745 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1710 MOHLE DRIVE C.7 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a new house and detached garage. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Construct a new two-story residence. The proposed building is clad in brick and stucco. Its cross-gabled, standing-seam metal roof is accented by a hipped-roof projection at the main elevation, creating a partial-width covered porch supported by boxed columns, with a flat roof and balcony above. Fenestration includes single and mulled six- and eight- light metal windows and a fully glazed front door with two-light transom. 2) Construct a single-story detached garage at the rear of the lot. The proposed garage’s simple design features a front- loading orientation. It is clad in stucco, with a metal roof to match the primary building and two front-facing hipped dormers. 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 main building is set back approximately 25’ from the front of the lot, with the detached garage located behind the main house. 2. Orientation Both the house and garage are oriented toward the street. 3. Scale, massing, and height Most of the contributing buildings on the block are one story, with simple massing; the proposed building is two stories with slightly more complex massing at the main elevation. 4. Proportions The building’s stepped-down front porch somewhat softens its verticality. However, it appears more vertically oriented than surrounding contributing buildings. 5. Design and style While the proposed building’s traditional style is appropriate for Old West Austin in general, most of the contributing buildings on this block are single story, clad in horizontal siding. It may appear out of scale and incongruous with the simple contributing Minimal Traditional buildings on either side. 6. Roofs While the proposed roofline at the main house is relatively simple in design, its metal cladding is less compatible with the surrounding district. 7. Exterior walls The brick and stucco exterior materials are appropriate to the style of house; however, most of the contributing properties on the block are clad in horizontal siding. 8. Windows and doors The proposed fenestration is mostly compatible, with the exception of the …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS AUGUST 23, 2021 HR-2021-119779 1510 ASHWOOD ROAD DELWOOD DUPLEX NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT C.8 – 1 PROPOSAL Replace original windows at side and rear of house. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Replace 4 steel casement windows at side and rear of house with fiberglass windows of same size. Replacement windows will have grilles between glass rather than divided lights. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS Two-story stucco duplex with symmetrical hall-and-parlor plan, multi-light casement picture windows, and second-floor balcony. 1510 Ashwood Road was constructed as a duplex in 1948 by Delwood Apartments, Incorporated. Its residents were renters until at least 1959. They included a physician and employees from the University of Texas. 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: Repair and alterations 5. Windows, doors, and screens The proposed window replacement occurs on secondary elevations and does not change the size of existing openings. However, the undivided fiberglass design does not have a similar profile or configuration as the original metal windows. Summary The project partially meets the applicable standard. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Delwood Duplex National Register Historic District. 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 constructed with Modern stylistic influences. 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 APPLICATION FOR A DEMOLITION PERMIT IN A NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT AUGUST 23, 2021 PR-21-113815 WILLOW-SPENCE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 82 SAN MARCOS STREET .C.9 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1941 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story, rectangular-plan, side-gabled, frame cottage with a central entry topped with a front-gabled entry hood; paired 1:1 fenestration, some with decorative 3:1 wood screens. There is a building permit in city records evidencing construction of this house in 1941; the Sanborn map of 1935 shows a different house on this site, and the 1962 Sanborn map shows the current house. This house, however, appears to reflect 1930s construction in its masing and style, leading to some confusion with a water utility permit dating from 1932, but the confusion would not affect the determination of historical significance for this house, as it was home to only two families during much of the historic period, one of which lived in the earlier house on this site. The 1941 building permit reflects construction by Louis Bonugli, who operated a neighborhood grocery store just a block from this site, and who invested in neighborhood real estate. This house was built as a rental unit. The first residents of the house were Willie L. and Allie Smith, who lived here until around 1943, and had lived in the earlier house on this site since the early 1930s. Willie Smith was an auto mechanic. Raymond and Angie Miller moved into the house around 1943, and rented the house until around 1950. Raymond Miller was taxi driver who later opened his own filling station while living in this house. Angie Miller worked at Woolworth’s a downtown discount department store. PROPERTY EVALUATION The house is listed as non-contributing to the Willow Spence National Register Historic District, but staff questions that determination, as the house is an intact example of vernacular residential design that would be contributing to the historic district if evaluated today. The Willow-Spence National Register Historic District was nominated in 1985, when this house would not have qualified under the 50 year threshold; the district nomination does not shed any light on the justification for the determination. 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 while the …

604 West 11th Street Austin, TX 78701 www.originalaustin.org 13 August 2021 RE: OANA’s opposition to ACC’s demolition permit request for 812 West 12th Street Dr. Richard M. Rhodes, Chancellor Austin Community College District Highland Business Center 5930 Middle Fiskville Rd. Austin, TX 78752 Dear Dr. Rhodes: On behalf of the Old Austin Neighborhood Association (OANA), I want to voice concerns raised by your July 26, 2021 letter to the City’s Historic Landmark Commission, and express OANA’s opposition to ACC’s demolition permit request for the building at 812 West 12th Street. Your letter notes that ACC has been planning the demolition of this building since 2007; that this was part of the Rio Grande Campus master plan, which the ACC Board adopted in 2011; and that the Regional Advisory Committee has approved this plan. The letter urges the commission to approve the demolition permit so the College can demolish the building and expand the garage “to better serve the renovated and expanding Rio Grande Campus.” A lot has changed since 2007. Based on the circumstances we face today, we urge the College to abandon its plan to demolish the building at 812 West 12th, and to rethink its plans for parking near the Rio Grande campus. Please consider the following key points: 1. There is no immediate need for additional parking to serve the Rio Grande Campus. According to ACC’s recent Districtwide Campus Master Plan, the Rio Grande campus is currently overparked. The page on existing facilities (p.93) indicates that the ideal capacity of the current campus is 4,000 students. If parked at the recommended ratio of 0.15 spaces/student, it would have 600 spaces. The campus currently has 775 spaces: 523 in the garage and 252 surface parking spaces. 2. The neighborhood would be better served by maintaining the current use of 812 West 12th. As noted in our August 11, 2021 letter, older buildings with active uses contribute significantly to the vitality of our neighborhood. The current tenant at 812 W.12th has cultivated a loyal and diverse customer base, as demonstrated by the outpouring of support at the 7/26/2021 meeting of the Historic Landmark Commission. Replacing this destination with parking would make the neighborhood less inviting for many. 3. The College’s vision for parking in our neighborhood is outdated. The parking plan reflected in the Districtwide Campus Master Plan, which is essentially unchanged from the plan adopted over a decade …
August 17, 2021 Terri Myers, Chair City of Austin Historic Landmark Commission Re: 812 W. 12th Street Demolition Permit Dear Ms. Myers, Preservation Austin exists to empower Austinites to shape a more inclusive, resilient, and meaningful community culture through preservation. We write today in opposition to the proposed demolition of 812 W. 12th Street, the current home of No-Comply Skateshop. We ask instead that the Historic Landmark Commission support historic zoning for the property in the areas of Architecture and Community Value, as identified and recommended by Historic Preservation Office staff in their July 26, 2021 report (PR-21-087495). Built ca. 1946, the property is an intact example of a neighborhood scale three-bay commercial building. While common throughout Texas, this building type is increasingly rare in Austin and its preservation should be prioritized. Throughout its lifetime, the building at 812 W. 12th St. has been home to a number of businesses that have served the surrounding neighborhood the nearby Austin High School, now the Austin Community College Rio Grande Campus. As described in the abovementioned staff report, the locations of commercial buildings of this type were essential in defining the character of the surrounding neighborhood. The property was also identified as a contributor to the potential West Downtown Historic District in a historic resource survey conducted by HHM & Associates in 2020. Sponsored by the Old Austin Neighborhood Association, the survey was supported by a Certified Local Government grant received by the City of Austin and a matching grant from our nonprofit. Preservation Austin further supported the community’s hard-fought efforts with a 2020 Preservation Merit Award last fall for their public service. The survey’s purpose is to recommend significant landmarks and potential districts for designation and to provide the information needed to make educated decisions about demolitions such as this. Significant resources go into these efforts with the understanding that they will make a difference to preservation outcomes moving forward. The city must stand by its historic resource surveys, in good faith, to protect our significant buildings and landmarks. We urge the Historic Landmark Commission to do so here. As development pressures in Austin’s central neighborhoods continue to increase, we believe that preserving what remains of our historic fabric is of the utmost importance. Furthermore, we believe that the proposed plan to create parking at the site does not constitute a worthy alternative use, especially as Austin moves towards becoming a …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS AUGUST 23, 2021 PR-2021-092644 3703 MEADOWBANK DRIVE D.11 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct an addition and remodel a ca. 1966 residence and 1987 pool cabana. ARCHITECTURE Two-story symmetrical Colonial Revival house with hipped roof and brick cladding. Its full-width integral porch and second-floor balcony are supported by Classical columns. Ground-floor windows are 6:6, while second-floor fenestration comprises glazed 4-pane French doors. Wood shutters surround all doors and windows. The pool cabana at the rear of the lot features matching columns, full-height multi-light windows with fan lights above, and a metal mansard roof. It was constructed after the period of significance and does not contribute to the property’s historic character. RESEARCH The house at 3703 Meadowbank Drive was built in 1966 for Franklin W. Denius, decorated World War II veteran and renowned University of Texas sponsor. At 19, Denius fought in the Battle of Mortain in 1944 as an infantry staff sergeant, holding a vital position for the Allies against 40,000 Nazi troops. His foresight and innovation helped to create a turning point in the war after the Normandy landings, forever changing history. After Mortain, Denius participated in the capture of Aachen and the Battle of the Bulge; his honors include four Silver Stars, two Purple Hearts, a Presidential Citation, the Belgian Croix de Guerre, and Knight of the Legion of Honor—the highest awarded in France, according to Denius’ obituary. He is touted as the tenth most decorated World War II veteran by some sources. After his Army service, Denius graduated from the University of Texas School of Law in 1949, beginning his career at the firm of Looney and Clark, where he later became partner. By 1976, Denius had opened his own practice. He specialized in oil and gas law, becoming president of the Southern Union Company later in his career, but also worked as a business consultant for President Lyndon B. Johnson, with whom he became friends. Denius’ 2018 obituary describes him as “a Texas giant, a man of destiny and civic and community impact” as it details his lifelong civic engagement: At one time or another Frank served as President of the Austin United Way, The Longhorn Club, The Headliner's Club, and was selected by the Austin Chamber of Commerce as the Outstanding Young Man of Austin in 1959. From 1957-1961, Frank was a member of the Texas Legislature Constitutional Revision Committee. …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS AUGUST 23, 2021 PR-21-098969 3400 HILLVIEW ROAD D.3 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1940 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Two-story, rectangular-plan, side-gabled brick veneered house with elements of Monterrey Revival style with its second- story, partial width screened porch across the front, and segmental-arched sunporch opening on the ground floor; single and paired 6:6 fenestration; single-leaf entry door with sidelights. The house features textured brick in subtle patterns. The house was built in 1940 by Whalen (or Wayland) C. Rivers and his wife, LaRuth, who lived here until around 1946. Wayland Rivers was an officer in the Elgin Standard Brick Company, manufacturers of high quality brick for residential and commercial construction in central Texas. Rivers was also in the grocery business before building this house in West Austin. The next owners and occupants were John W. and Dorothy Shivers, who lived here from around 1946 until around 1950. John W. Shivers was a timelock inspector for the Yale Lock Company for many years. Around 1953, the house was rented by W.J. Murray, Jr. and his wife, Josephine; they lived here until around 1958. Murray was a long-time employee of the Texas Railroad Commission, and had been in the oil business in Houston. He was serving as chair of the commission at the time that he and Jo rented this house. He came under scrutiny for the money he made while serving on the Commission, but was exonerated in 1963 of any wrongdoing. He was the first petroleum engineer to serve on the Commission, which oversees oil and gas regulations in Texas. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property is beyond the bounds of any City survey to date. 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).
