To Historic Review From Avery Building Company Project: 2103 SL Davis, Austin TX The bullet points below along with the pictures attached are for consideration for the Historic Review of 2103 S L Davis. • Exterior Walls are in extremely poor condition and have no practical usefulness for an exterior wall in a home. • The approximately 2” thick exterior walls are comprised of old vinyl siding attached to very old “board & batten” style wood (much of which is rotten), with sheets of wood on the interior. There is no insulation (nor was there ever insulation). There are no 2x4 studs. • Some exterior walls are literally cardboard. Other areas are patched with random materials. • The only form standard studs/2x4 material is where they have been added recently or additions that were patched to the original structure. • Rotten wood can be seen around the windows, floor perimeter boards, house corners, in most any place the vinyl siding can be pulled back or is missing. • Interior walls are also approximately 2” thick. No studs. A form of wood sheet material I assume attached to boards. But no “studs”. • Electrical is extremely minimal. Appears to have been retrofitted through the floor. Only a couple interior lights, no exterior. The outlets are attached to the walls (as opposed to being in walls as is standard • Plumbing is extremely limited. It appears someone started the process of installing a bathroom and a kitchen at some point. The only plumbing that looks to have been active was a kitchen sink (in a room that was added to the back of the house). I assume there was an active bathroom at some point in time. • As there are no typical walls, plumbing is attached to the walls on the exterior of the house. • Floors are extremely wavy. Some entire rooms are slanted. • Windows are a mix-match of various types added over the decades. • The interior doorways are shorter than standard height. • Literally no portion of the floor system, interior walls, or exterior walls, could be used in a modern home. The structure at 2103 S L Davis appears to be an old shanty which experienced some additions and adjustments over the decades. Work that was done, such as attaching vinyl siding, installing the various windows, the “kitchen”, and room additions, were ALL done in a …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS DECEMBER 4, 2024 PR-2024-142315; GF-2024-148232 305 NORTH BLUFF DRIVE 20.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1936 elementary school. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS ARCHITECTURE Demolish a section of the Pleasant Hill Elementary School campus, currently serving as the AISD Science and Health Resource Center. The building is a freestanding institutional building with a footprint of approximately 25,758 square feet. It is entirely one story in height, with several wings projecting out from the main entry area, which contain classrooms and other general school spaces. Most of the individual classrooms feature large window walls, containing operable (or formerly operable) 10-lite metal windows. Though they are not true ribbon windows, as they are broken up by interior walls, each assembly does extend most of the width of each classroom to provide light and, at one time, ventilation. The main entry features a set of double metal doors recessed slightly from the front façade, with a covered walkway projecting out to the parking lot and street. The horizontality of the building is emphasized by the flat roof with a modest overhang to shade the fenestration from direct sunlight. Buff brick clads the entirety of the exterior façade. At ends of each wing, full masonry walls are present without fenestration. Since construction, some interventions such as new awnings and exposed mechanical systems are present at public-facing locations. RESEARCH Formerly a rural community, the neighborhood now known as Pleasant Hill in South Austin was built on a site once called Johnstown, which was surveyed but never developed years prior. Records indicate that, by 1903, Pleasant Hill had two one- teacher schools. These schools were split by race, with one reported to have 73 black students and the other 42 white students. Though an in-depth survey of this community could not be located during the first decades of the twentieth century, the southward development of the Austin urban area, as well as highway maps, indicate some growth in the area. The present school saw construction of its original wing (presently located in the center of the current complex) in the mid-1930s, opening in 1936 as a 1st-9th grade school in the local Pleasant Hill School District. After 9th grade, students would attend Austin High School. Continued growth and development in the area saw more students and expansion of the school, with the Pleasant Hill School District becoming a part of Austin …

21 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS DECEMBER 4, 2024 DA 2024 149924; GF-2024-151345 1010 EAST CESAR CHAVEZ STREET PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Partially demolish and construct an addition to a ca. 1884 building for use as a restaurant. Demolish and reconstruct existing outbuilding. Construct a porch and trellis at the Medina Street elevation, where an existing porch has been infilled. Construct a gable- roofed addition to the East Cesar Chavez Street elevation with a projecting bay window and vertical fiber-cement siding. Demolish and reconstruct the existing outbuilding as-is for bakery use. One-story center-passage vernacular house with Italianate and Folk Victorian detailing. The building has a compound roofline, full-width front porch with turned posts and jigsawn trim, 2:2 wood windows, and horizontal wood siding. The house at 1010 East Cesar Chavez Street, addressed historically as 1010 East 1st Street and 1010 East Water Street, was constructed between 1887 and 1901. In 2011, it was determined eligible for individual listing on the National Register of Historic Places based on its association with the McDonald family, who lived there from 1901 onwards and was believed to have constructed the existing house at the time, and the Cain family, long-term residents of the property who purchased the house from the McDonalds. However, later research indicates that the main building was constructed as early as 1887, though its earliest extensions at the Cesar Chavez Street elevation and characteristic decorative elements were likely constructed by the McDonalds at the turn of the century. The 1900 Sanborn map indicates that several accretions to the building’s original center-passage form had occurred at that time, and directory and newspaper records indicate that George Evans lived at the address as early as 1884. The building’s longest-term occupants during the twentieth century were the Cain family. Patrick Henry Cain, who ran Austin’s Dam and Suburban Railway in the late 1800s, later became foreman of the Colorado Fire Company and Inspector of the Austin Water, Power, and Light Department. Cain and his employees were responsible for laying Austin’s earliest plumbing systems in much of the city. The property also served as a home-based business for the most recent of its significant residents, the Quintanilla family. Immediately after purchasing the house, cosmetologist Anita Quintanilla opened a full-service salon there until she moved the business a block away from her home. Quintanilla’s entrepreneurship is emblematic of the importance of …

PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH The house is a Craftsman bungalow with a prominent gable roof with wide eaves sheltering a front porch with square columns and decorative brackets. It has horizontal wood siding and 1:1 wood windows, as well as non-original aluminum casement windows at secondary elevations. The house at 4704 South Congress Avenue, known historically as 4704 Post Road, was constructed sometime before 1940 outside Austin’s city limits, according to aerial photographs. Its Craftsman style suggests that it was built in the first two decades of the twentieth century. Though its earliest occupants are not known, the Blackwell family was living in the home as early as 1946; the Blackwells moved to Austin from Taylor around 1924. Charlton Blackwell worked as a brickman for the S & P Lines. By the 1970s, the property belonged to Charlie Goodnight, who developed the adjacent motor court and café. PROPERTY EVALUATION 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 a good example of a Craftsman bungalow. 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 PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS DECEMBER 4, 2024 DA-2024-089522 WEST DOWNTOWN AUSTIN HISTORIC DISTRICT 810 WEST 11TH STREET 7.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a contributing property. ARCHITECTURE A wide, double-pitch side-gabled roof dominates the front façade of the house. A dormer vent is present at the center located above and behind a small gable overhang above the front door, which features a modest pair of brackets on either side of it. There are windows on either side of the brackets, and, while similar in size and material, do not match and provide a small amount of asymmetry to the elevation. The windows have been replaced with newer units and feature nonfunctional shutters. There is a concrete porch held two steps above ground in front of the door, with a simple metal handrail all around. The foundation is pier-on-beam, with a vented crawlspace underneath the floor. The house is almost entirely clad in buff brick in good condition, except for the side dormers, which are clad in wood lap siding with vents also present. RESEARCH The house at 810 West 11th Street was built in the early-to-mid 1930s, and the long-term owners for over 20 years were Joseph & Ida Kasper. The former was a furrier and owned a business at 109 East 9th Street in downtown Austin. While living at the address, they housed their children while they studied at the University of Texas. The son, Albert, was a dentistry student who left school to serve in World War II and finished his degree upon his return, graduating in 1945. Their daughter, Beatrice, graduated from university and became a teacher at Baker Junior High School in Hyde Park. She married Stewart Barnett in 1947 and they lived together in the house before moving out sometime after 1949. In 1987, the residence was converted to office use, and has continued in this function to present day. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the West Downtown Austin National Register district. 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 a good example of an intact minimal traditional bungalow in the district. b. Historical association. The property does …

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish a rear carport that is currently attached to a two-story garage and apartment structure. In its place, construct a third housing unit that is fully detached from both the main house and the garage/apartment building. The new housing unit is proposed to be two floors, with a smaller setback from the alley than the existing carport. A long, narrow building footprint of approximately 1000 square feet fits within all required setbacks, and the second floor is approximately half that size, located away from the alley side of the property. ARCHITECTURE Originally constructed in the Tudor Revival style, the house at 2021 Travis Heights Boulevard is clad in multi-toned brick on the first floor with stucco above. Several front-facing gables frame the right half of the building, There are several screened windows along with an arched front door recessed slightly into the smallest gable. At some point after the district’s period of significance, a second-story addition was built above the left side of the house. This addition is clad in stucco to match the second floor of the original house and features three front-facing windows at one side. The inventory for the National Register district describes this alteration as “severe.” Behind the house is a two-story detached garage with living space above with little to no decoration. RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS When it was first constructed in the early 1930s, the house was owned by Lawrence & Lorraine Lane. Lawrence worked at multiple roles at the E. M. Scarbrough & Sons store, and Lorraine worked as a teacher. Lawrence Lane passed away prior to 1937, and Lorraine occupied the house for the next decade, at which point it was rented out to students and young professionals. The house was purchased by Reynolds & Gwendolyn Bixler, who occupied it for several years after. 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 construction is located at the rear corner of the property, facing an alley, in accordance with Standard …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS DECEMBER 4, 2024 HR-2024-149566 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1515 WEST 31ST STREET, BUILDING 2 9.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a contributing garage and construct a second housing unit. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS A garage that is listed as a contributing resource to the Old West Austin National Register district, which has been altered, is proposed to be demolished. It its place, a second housing unit, which is to be two floors in height with an added loft space. The footprint of the housing unit is to be similar in size and in an approximate location to the garage. The housing unit would be connected to the historic house with a new single-story screened porch. ARCHITECTURE The house at 1515 West 31st Street is a single-story and was constructed around 1938 with simple bungalow details. There is a front porch set at the right side, supported by two simple wood posts. The front entry is recessed under the porch, along with a single-hung window. Along with the two other windows at the front elevation, these have all been previously replaced. The roof is also made of replacement metal finish, which is a combination of hipped and gabled construction.
