PROPOSAL HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS DECEMBER 14, 2020 1100 KINGSBURY STREET (PEASE PARK) OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT B.7 - 1 Rehabilitation of the Tudor Cottage, a contributing building within Pease Park in the Old West Austin National Register Historic District, has received a FY 2021 Heritage Grant award. The proposed work to the building, along with additional work in Pease Park, was previously reviewed by the Historic Landmark Commission in September 2019 under a National Register Historic District permit. ARCHITECTURE Rectangular-plan building with side-gabled roof, brick cladding, window openings with louvered vents, flush wood replacement doors, and half-timbering in the gable ends. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Rehabilitation work on the Tudor Cottage includes in-kind replacement of the wood shingle roof, replacement of the louvered wood vents with 2:2 clad-wood windows, replacement of existing doors with partially glazed wood doors, and addition of paired fully-glazed doors and sidelights on the north wall surmounted by a new flat steel awning. Adding the new doors and sidelights will entail removing three existing window openings and the portion of the historic wall between them. All work was previously reviewed by the Historic Landmark Commission, excepting the roof replacement. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW Pease Park is a contributing property in the Old West Austin Historic District and appears to meet the standards for designation as a historic landmark. It is a State Antiquities Landmark and a Lone Star Legacy Park (a park that holds special prominence in the local community and the state of Texas). Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The property is more than 50 years old, having been established as a public park in 1875. The contributing building was constructed as a restroom in 1926. 2) The property retains a high degree of integrity. 3) Properties must meet two historic designation criteria for landmark designation (City of Austin Land Development Code (Section 25-2-352). The property meets multiple criteria. a. Architecture. The building is a compact example of the Tudor Revival style and appears to be architecturally significant. b. Historical association. Pease Park is associated with the full sweep of Austin history, from Native American habitation to encampments just after the Civil War to Governor E. M. Pease, who donated the property to the City as a park in 1875, to civic efforts that reflected both local growth and national trends. In the mid-1920s, the Kiwanis Club spearheaded a significant …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 16, 2020 1406 ETHRIDGE AVENUE GF-2020-162558 C.3 - 1 PROPOSAL OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT Construct a rear and garage addition; replace fenestration; box in porch columns and add a gabled roof. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Replace partial-width porch. 2) Construct an addition. The proposed 1.5-story portion of the addition, clad in vertical wood siding, combines a garage with entry at the east (main) elevation with living space above. It features a side-gabled roof and metal-roofed shed dormers. The 2-story portion of the proposed addition is clad in stone veneer and combines a gabled tile roof with standing-seam metal shed accents atop exposed rafter tails. 3) Apply new wood shutters to east elevation. 4) Replace all windows and doors. Proposed replacement windows will match existing in light pattern and size. 5) Replace metal roof with tile. RESEARCH The house at 1406 Ethridge Avenue was built in 1939 for Reverend Edmund Heinsohn, a lawyer and minister, and his family. Heinsohn served as the pastor of University Methodist Church for over a quarter-century, setting a record for the longest stay in a single congregation for a Methodist minister. Heinsohn was a trustee of Southwestern University for nearly forty years and chairman of the board of trustees at Huston-Tillotson College for thirty. He served on the Texas State Library and Archives Commission for twenty-five years. In 1958, Heinsohn was honored as the city’s “Most Worthy Citizen” by the Austin Real Estate Board for his long career in ministry and service. Heinsohn’s Austin legacy is rooted in his anti-war and anti-segregation activism throughout the twentieth century. In the 1930s and 1940s, he spoke up for American neutrality, opposed the religious oppression perpetrated by the Nazi regime, and promoted nonviolence as vice- president of the Methodist Commission on World Peace. University Methodist became one of the first historically white churches to accept Black parishioners in 1957, and Heinsohn chaired the Commission on Human Relations two years later in a bid to prevent violence against civil rights protestors. The reverend’s reputation for inclusivity led to him to maintain friendships among a diverse group of prominent Austinites of all creeds, from Supreme Court judges to J. Frank Dobie. Described as a “legend in his own lifetime” by the Austin American-Statesman in 1979, Heinsohm passed away in 1989 at the age of 100. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The …
Response to Historic Landmark Commission for discussion December 14, 2020 To: Chair and Commissioners, Historic Landmark Commission From: Robin and Taylor Bruce – owners of 1406 Ethridge Ave, and Sam Burch, architect for 1406 Ethridge Ave Date: December 9, 2020 Subject: Proposed Renovation of 1406 Ethridge Ave, Austin TX 78703 Response We are submitting this statement in support of releasing permits to move forward with renovations at 1406 Ethridge Ave, Austin, TX 78703. Following the November 16, 2020 Historic Landmark Commission meeting and the November 30, 2020 Architectural Review Committee meeting, we have made extensive revisions to our original plans in order to incorporate the feedback from Commissions and Historic office team members. We are grateful for their counsel and perspective as we’ve journeyed through this review process. Specifically, in response to advice given by Commissions in the Architectural Review Committee meeting on November 30, 2020, we have made the following substantial changes: • Removed the large front porch as drawn in original renovation plans and have retained the existing covered pediment porch that is reflective of the home’s Colonial Revival style; • Removed the planned mortar wash and retained the original masonry on the existing home; • Retained the original window style, double hung with true divided lights in the pattern that matches the existing and original windows; • Retained the original front door size and shape. We feel that these revisions maintain the historic and architectural integrity of the home, per the expert guidance given to us by Committee and team members, reflect the advice of the Commissioners, and should demonstrate our hope to move forward swiftly with construction at this time. We remain grateful to the HLC for their service in highlighting the legacy of the original occupants of 1406, Reverend Edmund Heinsohn and his family and are honored to be the stewards of this home’s legacy. We look forward to speaking with you on Monday, December 14, 2020. Sincerely, Robin and Taylor Bruce Owners, 1406 Ethridge Ave.
