HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS MAY 24, 2021 HR-2021-063830 1113 E. 9TH STREET JOBE HOUSE / ROBERTSON/STUART & MAIR HISTORIC DISTRICT B.8 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a 1-story side addition. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS ARCHITECTURE STANDARDS FOR REVIEW Residential Additions Location The addition is set back approximately 27’ from the front wall and has a footprint of 331 square feet. It is clad in 12” horizontal hardiplank siding, with 1-over-1 vinyl-sash windows. The addition is capped by a combination side-gabled and hipped roof, with a shallow flat roof over the entry; the hipped roof’s slope matches that of the historic house. Metal stairs on the primary (north) wall access a paneled, partially-glazed door. One-story, modified L-plan building capped by a combination pyramidal and flat roof, with horizontal wood siding, wood- sash windows, gabled dormers, a corner porch, and interior chimneys. The building is designed in the Queen Anne style. The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate proposed changes to historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the project: 1.1 Locate additions to the rear and sides of historic buildings to minimize visual impact. The proposed addition is located at the side of the historic building, 27’ back from the front wall. The project meets this standard. 1.5 Minimize the loss of historic fabric by connecting additions to the existing building through the least possible invasive location and means. The proposed addition is connected to the side of the existing building behind a projecting bay. The short section of wall includes a window opening. The project meets this standard. 1.6 Additions are not appropriate for all historic landmarks and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Staff believes that the proposed addition is compatible with and differentiated from the historic building. Scale, Massing, and Height 2.1 Design an addition to complement the scale and massing of the historic building, including height. The addition must appear subordinate to the historic building. The proposed addition is one story high, with a ridgeline that is the same height as the adjacent side gable and substantially lower than the principal ridgeline of the historic house. The addition’s plan and massing echo the L-plan and roof shape of the principal house and its gable ends. The project meets this standard. 2.2 Minimize the appearance of the addition from the street faced …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS MAY 24, 2021 HR-2021-063882 ROBERTSON/STUART & MAIR HISTORIC DISTRICT 810 LYDIA STREET B.9 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a 1-story accessory dwelling unit (ADU). PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The proposed project is a 1-story ADU clad in horizontal hardiplank siding and capped by a cross-gabled roof covered in asphalt shingles. Features include fixed and single-hung 1-over-1 vinyl-sash windows and a fully glazed front door with a bracketed gabled hood. The ADU has a footprint of just over 1,000 square feet. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Robertson/Stuart & Mair Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: New construction shall have the same street orientation and distance from adjacent buildings as the contributing buildings in the same block. The building is located behind the principal building and oriented towards the alley. The project meets this standard. Setbacks for new construction shall be consistent with setbacks of the district’s contributing buildings. The building’s setback is similar to other secondary buildings in the district. The project meets this standard. Design new buildings so that they are compatible with and differentiated from historic buildings in the district. The building’s scale, massing, design, and materials are compatible with nearby historic buildings. Elements such as the roof form, gable-end bargeboards, and 1-over-1 window configuration are notable for their simplicity and compatibility. The project meets this standard. New construction should have floor-to-floor heights and roof heights that are the same or similar to those on contributing buildings throughout the district. The building’s roof height of 18.5’ matches the roof height of the principal building on the property. The project meets this standard. Select materials for new construction that are the same as or similar to those found on contributing buildings existing in the district. The building uses horizontal hardiplank siding compatible with horizontal wood siding found on contributing buildings. Vinyl-sash windows are not typically found on contributing buildings, but the ADU’s location at the rear of the property minimizes the windows’ visibility. The project partly meets this standard. The project generally meets the standards. COMMITTEE FEEDBACK Not reviewed. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the plans.

There’s so much circumstantial evidence that I wish added up to a clear narrative supporting individual significance. The house is cool and unusual, but I’m struggling to come up with a clear argument that would convince the NPS staff of its individual significance. The archival record is incomplete and hard to reconcile with what we see today. I’m confident that the core house dates to the first decade of the 20th century at the latest. It was modified at some point with the application of stucco and the pop-up roof, and I don’t think these changes would prevent it from contributing to a district. The association with Hegman is sketchy, and even if it could be proven to have been his residence at some point, he lived in other houses as well. Is the house is significant under Criterion B for association with Hegman as a theater owner? The theaters themselves (the Ritz in particular) better represent this aspect of his productive life. Is it significant for its association with Hegman as the developer of a subdivision? I would think the house at 108 E. 48th Street, where he also lived at some point, seems like a better fit. I don’t understand why he would leave the 2-story brick house on a large lot in the heart of his subdivision for a older house immediately to the west. It doesn’t add up. I think the best shot would be Criterion C in the area of architecture, as a modified turn-of-the-century house (I’ll call it Queen Anne Cottage). The key to this argument would be to detail when and by whom the changes were made, AND argue that these changes themselves are architecturally significant. This case would be more easily made if the alterations were of a type that reflected changes in popular taste - we’ve done this in nominations where a house is substantially updated to reflect an entirely new style (often Beaux Arts after the Columbian expo, or an old plantation style perhaps popularized by Gone With the Wind). That’s not the case here, and we can only guess at …

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The addition is set back approximately 27’ from the front wall and has a footprint of 331 square feet. It is clad in 12” horizontal hardiplank siding, with 1-over-1 vinyl-sash windows. The addition is capped by a combination side-gabled and hipped roof, with a shallow flat roof over the entry; the hipped roof’s slope matches that of the historic house. Metal stairs on the primary (north) wall access a paneled, partially-glazed door. ARCHITECTURE STANDARDS FOR REVIEW One-story, modified L-plan building capped by a combination pyramidal and flat roof, with horizontal wood siding, wood- sash windows, gabled dormers, a corner porch, and interior chimneys. The building is designed in the Queen Anne style. The Robertson/Stuart & Mair Design Standards are used to evaluate proposed changes to contributing buildings. The following standards apply to the project: New additions should be compatible with the historic building by reflecting the scale, massing, and/or materials of the historic building, but differentiated enough so that they are not confused as historic or original to the building. If designing an addition in a contemporary style, reflect the scale, massing, and/or materials of the historic building; if designing an addition in a style that reflects the style of the historic building, differentiate the scale, massing, and/or materials, at least slightly. The proposed addition’s scale, massing, and materials are compatible with and differentiated from the historic building. Its simple style reflects the style of the historic building but will not be mistaken for original construction. The project meets this standard. Design new additions that are subordinate to and do not overpower the historic building. The proposed addition is subordinate to the historic building in terms of scale, massing, and location. Construct additions that avoid the removal or obstruction of any historic exterior features on the front of the building or the sides within 15 feet of the front. Set back a new ground-level addition a minimum of 15 feet measured from the front wall of the building (excluding the porch). The new addition is attached to the side wall and set back 27’ from the front wall. The project meets this standard. Modern materials such as fiber-cement siding are appropriate for …
