B.5 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS MARCH 22, 2021 SMOOT-TERRACE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 803 PRESSLER STREET PROPOSAL Construct a new accessory dwelling unit and garage behind a non-contributing building. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Remove garage from rear of non-contributing house. 2) Construct detached garage with apartment above. The proposed new L-plan building is two stores, clad in horizontal siding with a cross-gabled roof and second-floor shed dormer at the east elevation. Fenestration includes irregularly placed, undivided fixed and casement windows of varying dimensions, two rooftop skylights, fully glazed sliding door, and a front-facing garage door. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Smoot-Terrace Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1. New construction shall have the same street orientation and distance from adjacent buildings as the contributing buildings in the same block. 3. Setbacks for new construction of a new auxiliary building, such as a garage, shall be consistent with setbacks of the district’s contributing auxiliary buildings by taking the average of the existing setbacks of contributing auxiliary buildings on the same block face, or by aligning with the setback of one adjacent contributing auxiliary buildings. This may allow setbacks that are shallower than the base zoning. The proposed ADU has the same street orientation as others in the district. It is set back 5’ and 6’ from the front and side walls of the existing non-contributing house and approximately 71’ from the street. 4. Design new buildings so that they are compatible with, but differentiated from, historic buildings in the district. The proposed building is differentiated from historic buildings in the district by its steeper roof pitch and modern window materials and configurations. The design’s simplicity enhances compatibility, though the street-facing garage door is less compatible. 5. For new residential buildings, garages shall be set back at least 15 feet from the front wall of the building (excluding the porch). The proposed garage apartment is set back approximately 46’ from the front wall of the existing house. 6. Protect large trees from damage during construction and from delayed damage due to construction activities. All applicants must coordinate with the appropriate City departments to coordinate tree protection during demolition and construction. The project mostly meets the applicable standards. COMMITTEE FEEDBACK Consider garage relocation. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the plans. B.5 - 2

The house at 1517 Murray Lane was constructed in 1927-28 by William H. and Delle M. Morley. Morley was the son of W.J. Morley, proprietor of Morley Brothers Druggists, the oldest continuously operating pharmacy and wholesale drug manufacturer in Austin at the time. W.J. Morley and his brother famously employed author Sidney Porter (pseudonym O. Henry), in the latter half of the 19th century. The Morley Brothers Building at 209 East 6th Street is a City of Austin Landmark. S.K. Morley’s house at 510 Baylor Street is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is also an Austin landmark. S.K. Morley, William H. Morley’s uncle, does not appear to be associated with the Morley drug manufacturing business after the sale of the 6th Street drugstore in the early 1930s. However, William H. Morley continued to run the drug manufacturing and wholesale business from his home at 1517 Murray Lane. Morley’s products were sold under multiple manufacturer names, including Cactus …

The house is clad in horizontal wood siding with wood and vinyl windows and French doors at the second story, leading to a small deck atop a screened porch addition. A brick chimney adorns the main gable. The house at 1623 Waterston Avenue was constructed in 1937 for Margaret Robertson, daughter of Judge James Harvey Robertson. It served as a rental property until at least 1959. Its longest-term residents were Lewis and Lillian Mayfield. Lewis Mayfield worked as a stonemason and was known for his steadfast support of the Austin Pioneers baseball team, never missing a home game. Lillian Mayfield worked as a fitter and seamstress at Juanita Morris Hat Shop and served as president of the senior hostesses of the USO throughout the 1940s.

The house has minimal Greek Revival details, such as the slender, un-fluted columns and simple frieze trim under the eaves. There are two entry doors from the front porch and two double-hung, wood windows on the façade. The porch has a low railing with turned spindles and the house is sided with narrow, drop siding, and has a composition shingle roof.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION MARCH 22, 2021 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HR-2021-029755 CLARKSVILLE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1104 TOYATH STREET C.9 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1922 contributing house. ARCHITECTURE One-story gable-roofed house with full-width porch, clad in horizontal wood siding with board-and-batten at gable end. Fenestration includes 1:1 wood windows and an offset front door that may have once been paired. The roof is clad in seamed metal and features exposed rafter tails. RESEARCH The building at 1104 Toyath Street was built around 1922. In its earliest years, the lot hosted a rental property owned by laundress Luisa Roberts, who hosted up to four tenant families at a time. Most tenants worked as laborers or in the service industry. Renter Walter Carrington purchased the property between 1918 and 1920; newspaper records indicate that the current house was built in 1922. Carrington worked at Butler Bricks before becoming a carpenter; his wife, Josephine Johnson Carrington, worked as a cook. Their son, Ralph Carrington, was a painter and contractor. Despite legal trouble, including a 1941 murder charge reported in the Statesman, Ralph Carrington took possession of the home after 1958 and remained there for at least ten years. He constructed two additions to the house: one in 1948 for his mother, and another in 1968. STAFF COMMENTS The house is named as a contributing building in a 2018 inventory of the Clarksville National Register Historic District. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate to high integrity. 3) Properties must meet two historic designation criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). The property may demonstrate significance according to City Code: a) Architecture. The building displays Craftsman influences. b) Historical association. The Commission may wish to consider Walter and Josephine Carrington’s status as long-term Clarksville residents who rented, then owned, their property—one of the limited paths to homeownership for Black residents in segregated twentieth-century Austin. c) Archaeology. The house was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d) Community value. The house 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 …

ARCHITECTURE Two-story, cross-gabled Tudor Revival house with brick cladding and half-timbering and stucco in the front-facing gable end. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are used to evaluate projects on historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 3) Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or elements from other historic properties, will not be undertaken. Evaluation: While Tudor Revival houses may have terraces, that feature was not historically present at this property. 6) Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design, color, texture and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence. Evaluation: The attic fan was a later intervention, and restoration of the decorative half-timbering treatment at the gable end is appropriate. 9) New additions, exterior alterations or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment. Evaluation: The proposed wall at the sidewalk is compatible with the historic character of the property. Though low-lying, the pool, terrace, and fence will be visible and may not be an appropriate new intervention at a historic landmark property. 10) New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be …
