B.3 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS MARCH 22, 2021 C14H-2009-0021 YERWOOD-SIMOND HOUSE 2005 HAMILTON STREET PROPOSAL Installation of skylights on side and rear-facing roof slopes. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Remove existing light tubes on side-facing roof slopes. 2) Install six low-profile skylights on side- and rear-facing roof slopes, finished to match the existing roofing, to create usable interior space in the attic. ARCHITECTURE One-story, roughly rectangular-plan hipped-and-gabled brick veneered frame house with single and paired 1:1 windows; round-arched entry and arcade along the west elevation of the house; exterior stepped brick chimney on the front façade with randomly-placed stones and caps. The house has Tudor Revival influences in its prominent front gable, but is also reminiscent of colonial French architecture in southern Louisiana with its round-arched brick arcade, gable-on-hip roof style, and massing. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are used to evaluate projects on historic landmarks. The following standard applies to the proposed project: 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 skylights add usable square footage to the house with minimal exterior intervention. The low profile, color selection, and placement to avoid the street-facing roof slope are compatible with and do not detract from character-defining features of the historic house. The project meets the applicable standards. COMMITTEE FEEDBACK The skylights’ placement, low profile, and matching color are compatible with the house’s roof. Committee members supported conditional administrative approval, pending review by the full Commission out of concern that the case could be precedent-setting. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Concur with Committee feedback and approve the application, while acknowledging this solution may not be appropriate for other landmarks. Staff wishes to note multiple factors specific to this recommendation. The house has a composition shingle roof, a material which is not original, is cyclically replaced, and does not have a distinctive decorative pattern. Further, light tubes installed in the roof prior to the landmark designation in 2009 provide a precedent for this type of intervention. Although larger, the skylights’ lower placement and matching color may be less disruptive to the house’s appearance. …

HAM / Hamilton Avenue Residence Remodel 2005 Hamilton Avenue - Architectural Review Committee Presentation m(ødm) HAM / Hamilton Avenue Residence Remodel markodomstudio.com 21.02.09 2005 Hamilton Avenue The Yerwood-Simoud House, locally known as 2005 Hamilton Avenue, is an existing single family residence that was built in 1939 by Dr. Charles Yerwood, and his wife Ada Marie DeBlanc Simond. The home’s interiors were remodeled in 2014, but left the unfinished attic untouched. The Hamilton Avenue Residence Remodel converts the existing attic volume into a warm, useable space for the current residences. The project completely redefines the interior experience, all while being intentionally respectful to the exterior appearance of this historic home. No additions or alterations were made to the front elevation of the home. The primary focus of the remodel is the redesign of the existing attic space, within the existing roof volume. The experience of the new volume is enhanced by the additional of 6 new “Fakro” skylights. This slim model (less than 6” from shingle to top of glass) allow sunlight to wash into the new living space, enhancing the environment, and save energy by providing natural daylight. Intentional details transport the occupant to the light filled space for reading, gathering and entertaining that complement the space main house below. In this new celebrated space, located within an existing gable, an additional seating area off of the main program that is enhanced by skylights and provide comfortable space for living. intent m(ødm) markodomstudio.comHAM / Hamilton Avenue Residence Remodel21.02.09 Exterior Photos_ 2005 Hamilton Avenue -front elevation would remain as is -showing all sides of roof to receive new skylights -existing circular vents would be removed and roofing would be replaced in kind m(ødm) markodomstudio.comHAM / Hamilton Avenue Residence Remodel21.02.09 Existing Conditions_ Pre-existing Attic Conditions -space currently only receives natural light from singular window -existing solar tubes to be removed/repaired in kind m(ødm) markodomstudio.comHAM / Hamilton Avenue Residence Remodel21.02.09 drawings - floor plans m(ødm) markodomstudio.comHAM / Hamilton Avenue Residence Remodel21.02.09 CAR 1 CAR 2 EXISTING GRAVEL K C A B T E S D R A Y K C A B ' 5 EXISTING WOOD DECK BACK YARD EXISTING LANDSCAPE TO REMAIN 5' SIDE YARD SETBACK EXISTING DRIVE EXISTING 2-STORY SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE 5' SIDE YARD SETBACK PROPERTY LINE 25'-0" EXISTING FRONT YARD SETBACK EXISTING GRAVEL WALK P E T S E U N E V A N O T L I …

B.6 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS MARCH 22, 2021 C14H-1986-0015, C14H-2004-0008 GRANDBERRY BUILDING AND MITCHELL-ROBERTSON BUILDING CONGRESS AVENUE HISTORIC DISTRICT 907, 909, AND 911 CONGRESS AVENUE Review of a plan to deconstruct, store, and re-erect historic building façades. PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Catalog and store, then re-erect the historic building façades as part of a redevelopment project at a later date. Per the applicant, stabilization of the buildings in place is not technically feasible. The project received preliminary approval from the Historic Landmark Commission on January 26, 2015 and June 25, 2018, pending development of more detailed plans for treatment of the façades. ARCHITECTURE Three two-part commercial blocks sharing party walls; buildings are boarded at the street level. At the second floor, the Grandberry Building at 907 Congress has two-over-two light windows with decorative hood moulds, and the Mitchell-Robertson Building at 909 Congress has one-over-one windows and corbelled brickwork at the cornice. 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: 2) The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces and spatial relationships that characterize a property will be avoided. 5) Distinctive materials, features, finishes and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved. 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. While deconstruction and reconstruction of a historic landmark is not a recommended treatment, intensive intervention is necessitated in this case due to major, longstanding conditions. Provided the project entails sufficient care to document, dismantle, store, and re-erect the buildings using original materials to the greatest extent feasible, the project will meet the applicable standards. COMMITTEE FEEDBACK Consider stabilization of building façades in place rather than removal and reconstruction; provide a detailed condition assessment or other analysis of the buildings’ conditions; and pay particular attention to keeping the corbelled brickwork on the Mitchell-Robertson Building intact. Committee members expressed concern regarding having the buildings down for an indefinite period prior to the redevelopment. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Support the project in …

B.7 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS MARCH 22, 2021 C14H-2009-0065 Judge David J. and Birdie Pickle House 1515 MURRAY LANE PROPOSAL Construct a wood fence with decorative wood gate. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct a 6’ tall fence between the south wall of the building and the south property line. The fence consists of horizontal tongue-and-groove wood boards set in a narrow wood frame, with 7’ tall wood posts framing a gate opening. The gate consists of paired arched wood doors with decorative carving. The fence and gate will be set back from the front wall and located behind the chimney. ARCHITECTURE STANDARDS FOR REVIEW 1½-story Tudor Revival house with arched entrance, multi-lite wood-sash wood windows, half-timbering, exterior chimney, and cross-gabled roof. The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards are used to evaluate proposed changes to historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 2. The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces, and the spatial relationships that characterize a property will be avoided. The proposed project retains the property’s historic character. No distinctive materials or features are proposed to be removed or altered. 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. The proposed project does not create a false sense of historical development. 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. The proposed project will not destroy historic materials, features, or spatial relationships. The fence is a clean modern design with compatible materials, and the gate is distinct from the style of the building. Both are subordinate to the house in location and size and, while visible from the public right of way, will not detract from the property’s historic character. 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 …

SEGOVIA STREET FIESTA GARDENS C.1 - 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS and move ramp to the rear. Modifications to existing facilities at Fiesta Gardens, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district. 1) Rebuild the wood trellis of the bandstand, expand the structure to the east to provide more usable space, 2) Rehabilitate the dining hall, including repairs to address critical maintenance needs, improvements to building systems, and construction of clerestory windows for lighting. 3) Construct an addition to the east of the historic dining hall, to provide support facilities for events. 4) Maintain offices and work areas at the Mercado, with repairs to address critical exterior maintenance. Rehabilitate building interior to provide meeting rooms in a second phase. 5) Restore and rehabilitate grandstand; improve accessibility. Construct a waterfront raised stage and boardwalk in a second phase. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are used to evaluate new construction projects in National Register historic districts. Applicable standards include: 2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided. The proposed project removes minimal historic material while enhancing the existing facilities. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment. The proposed clerestory windows at the dining hall will be visible but are limited in height and compatible with the historic building. The dining hall addition is separated from the historic building by a glass lobby that acts as a hyphen. The addition’s simple massing and articulation, stucco cladding, and fenestration patterns are differentiated but compatible with the historic dining hall. 10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall 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 unimpaired. If the proposed modifications were removed in the future, most of the building and site’s form and integrity would remain. Maintain as much historic fabric as …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION MARCH 22, 2021 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0479 5613 PATTON RANCH ROAD D.1 - 1 PROPOSAL Deconstruct and move a log cabin and two log outbuildings that date from around 1870. ARCHITECTURE The main structure on the site is a ca. 1870 log cabin with a limestone fireplace, exterior chimney, and foundation. The house has several more recent additions and the windows and doors have been replaced with more modern units. Also on the site and subject to the permit applications are two outbuildings: a pole barn constructed of stacked timber with stone chinking, and a log crib. The date of construction of the outbuildings is not known. RESEARCH STAFF COMMENTS It appears that this complex as the home of James A. Patton, who settled in the Oak Hill neighborhood around 1870. Patton deeded this land to his son Robert, who in turn left it to his own daughter, Nellie Patton Miller. Later documents refer to this site as the Miller Ranch house. The structures were documented in the Historic Resources Survey of Southwest Travis County, commissioned by the Travis County Historical Commission in 2015, which recommended that this complex was eligible for individual listing in the National Register of Historic Places, and contributing to a potential historic district. Staff initially facilitated negotiations between the property owners and the leadership at Pioneer Farms, which would be willing to accept the cabin and outbuildings for future use and interpretation on their museum property. However, neighborhood residents expressed concern with this significant resource leaving the area. The applicant has since considered alternatives that would retain the cabin closer to its original location and provided a proposal to the Oak Hill Association of Neighborhoods for consideration. STAFF RECOMMENDATION While staff can support relocation of the cabin in the interest of its preservation, details of the proposed solution were not available at the time of this report.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION MARCH 22, 2021 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HR-2021-029766 702 HUERTA STREET D.12 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1948 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story, flat-roofed house constructed of concrete masonry units with some limestone cladding under the partial-width porch. The house at 702 Huerta Street (originally 702 Acorn Place) was built around 1948. The earliest listed owners were William J. and Bobbie A. Greenawalt, who resided in the house for much of the 1950s. By 1959, Margarito C. “Mike” Huerta and Mary Louise Calderon owned the home. Huerta was a short- and long-haul truck driver who had a 52-year business relationship with Capital Aggregates.
