HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS B.1 - 1 JUNE 22, 2020 C14H-1997-0008 NORWOOD HOUSE 1018 EDGECLIFF TERRACE PROPOSAL Restore main house. Add a terrace and new fenestration to the rear of the building. Reconstruct the historic teahouse gazebo. Add a new storage building and auxiliary function building to the site. Remodel landscape. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Main house: Most structural members will be repaired or replaced to retain the building’s original form. It will be clad in running-bond brick with sill course detailing; river rock and limestone accents throughout define the house’s exterior openings, sills, columns, and chimney. Masonry elements will match historic photographs and samples found on-site. The roof will be retiled with Ludowici clay shingles, with finish and color matching original samples. Window screen frames, doors, columns, lanterns, frieze boards, vents, and timber framing will be restored where possible and replaced in-kind where deteriorated beyond repair. Window screens will be replaced in-kind with non-reflective bronze screen. Wood window sashes will be replaced in-kind where deterioration precludes repair; as most of the original glazing is missing, it will be replaced with energy- efficient double glazing. Façade variations include: a) South: The main elevation will be rebuilt to match historic photographs of the building, with the addition of a brick and exposed concrete access ramp and exposed-concrete steps. b) East and west: Two windows will shift slightly from their original placement at the west elevation. c) North: Existing openings in the building envelope will be enlarged and replaced with aluminum-clad doors, designed to reflect the lighting pattern of the historic windows, leading onto a simple concrete terrace. There is no access to the building from the river to the north, and the view from the lake will be obscured. The rear elevation will not be visible from the street. 2) Teahouse: The teahouse, a simple brick-columned structure with attached trellis, exposed rafter tails, and tiled hipped roof, will be constructed on the site of the historic teahouse. 3) Storage and support buildings: A CMU storage building with flat roof and fixed-pane windows will be set back from the main house. It is connected to the new auxiliary building by a walkway covered with a steel drill-stem pipe trellis. The auxiliary building, constructed with matching CMU and fenestration, features small skylights and solar panels on its flat roof. 4) Site work: The proposed landscaping plan for the event …

June 22 is going to be on us quick as a bunny. First is a pdf comprised of (6) slides: 1. front entrance that shows how the auxiliary bldgs sit to the northwest of the house 2. terrace view that shows the new sec/on of the north wall + posi/oning of the aux bldgs 3. similar view illustra/ng the contemporary language in only that sec/on of wall; these are double DOORS w/matching center glass that provide the ingress and egress to the outdoor spaces 4. revised version of one of our early renderings, this one of east gardens/gable/& terrace 5. a reminder of what the gables will really look like 6. new rendering of rear of house from below the cliff; please note this slide facilitates understanding of the elements of the lookout area and the posi/oning of the aux bldgs, but is highly distorted - the cliff drops off precipitously at the lower lookout area and the trees obscure everything, making this head-on view of the back of the house basically nonexistent Also a‘ached is a recent drone photo of the Norwood House in the context of the site. We have many addi/onal views and videos if the commissioners want. the red /le roof and the west gable/west side will be the most domina/ng, visible components from Edgecliff Terrace, Riverside Drive eastbound, and from any towers on the north shore from the lake itself and the north shore the red /le roof will stand out (tantalizingly!), but the house is largely obscured the east gable and gazebo are nicely visible in something of a view corridor from I-35 in passing, especially in the fall & winter because many of the trees on the east side are …

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish existing contributing building. 2) Construct new 53-floor, 606’ tower, occupying two adjacent lots at 90 (now Container Bar) and 92 Rainey Street. The tower includes: a) Below-ground garage b) Commercial space (first and second floors plus third-floor bar area): i. Materials throughout include a transparent glass curtainwall system with metal mullions; simplified pilasters of textured stone at bay divisions; recessed mural panels with overhead lighting, and textured concrete cladding. Flat metal awnings above each tenant entrance at 1 and 1.5 stories are topped with lit signage. ii. At the east elevation, vertically-articulated panel systems of varying widths define tenant spaces. A metal shipping container with viewport projects from recessed bar space at the second floor, hovering above the streetscape. An angled precast concrete panel projects through both recessed bar spaces. c) Hotel and residential spaces: i. The tower is clad in a reflective glass curtainwall system throughout, with precast concrete accent panels on secondary facades. ii. Levels 8-52 are set back from the lower section of the tower (at roughly 177’). iii. After level 24, which separates the hotel units from residences and short-term rental units, glass balconies project from the north and south elevations. d) Roof deck RESEARCH The house at 92 Rainey Street was built around 1911. Its first owner was farrier Alonzo B. Cook, who ran a shop on Congress Avenue. From 1914 to 1920, the house had several short-term occupants, including a painter, a grocer, and a night watchman. By 1920, it had been purchased by Emil and Edith Bohls. Emil Bohls owned a restaurant in 1920, but he soon opened an auto paint shop on 5th Street. By 1937, as Austin’s automobile culture continued to grow, Bohls had expanded his repertoire to include a tourist camp and filling station on South Congress Avenue. By 1939, the Bohls family sold the home to Charles B. and Pearl Eustace. The Eustace family had lived across the street at 95 Rainey since 1922. Charles had recently retired from the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company after a 39-year tenure. As one of the earliest telephone employees in Austin, he was an active member of the …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NRD-2010-0125 PROPOSAL 92 Rainey Street C.3. - 1 NOVEMBER 15, 2010 Rainey Street Modifications to the north, west, and south facades of the house; construction of a new walk-in cooler on the north side of the house, a wraparound deck on the south and west sides, a new separate restroom building in back of the house, installation of a steel trellis on the back of the house, and replacement of the composition shingle roof with a metal roof. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The applicant proposes modifications to the exterior of the house to accommodate a walk-in cooler on the north side and a wood deck wrapping around the south and west sides, and the construction of a separate building behind the house for restrooms, storage, and an outdoor bar area. The front of the house will see the fewest modifications: only a deteriorating plaster porch pier and porch railing will be removed. On the north wall, the existing wood windows will be removed to accommodate the addition of the walk-in cooler, which will have wood siding and a flat roof. On the south wall, the existing wood-sided infill with a vinyl window will be removed and be replaced with a door and a steel-framed fixed sash window. On the west (rear) wall, the existing back door and window will be removed, as will the wood-sided infill that wraps around from the south side of the house. The infill section will have the wraparound of the steel-framed fixed sash window from the south side of the building. A new deck will surround the house on the south and west sides, and provide access to a new structure in the back yard, housing restrooms and storage. The existing composition shingle roof on the house will be replaced with a metal roof. STAFF COMMENTS STAFF RECOMMENDATION The ca. 1927 bungalow is contributing to the Rainey Street National Register Historic District. Release the building permit after completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package consisting of photographs of all four elevations and a measured sketch plan to record existing conditions and for archiving at the Austin History Center. Staff requests that the applicant reconsider the installation of the steel-framed glass at the rear of the building in favor of an architectural feature more compatible with the Craftsman detailing of the house. Overall, the appearance of the house …

Thank you for your time. If you have any questions please feel free to call me or our builder Tim Elbrickt at 512-698-7970. Respectfully. Stan Caskey 512-736-2654
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JUNE 22, 2020 NRD-2020-0024 2416 HARTFORD ROAD C.3 - 1 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT PROPOSAL Construct a new two-story building with two-story rear guest house. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The proposed primary building is two stories in height, with covered front, side, and rear porches. It is set back 36’11” from the street. Plans indicate that it will be clad with a combination of cut- stone veneer wainscoting, horizontal fiber cement siding, and board-and-batten siding at the main elevation’s gable entry and second-story central bay. Its compound roofline, clad in composition shingles, includes cross-gabled, hipped, and shed elements. Windows configuration varies throughout and consists of 3:1 and 2:1 single-hung, single-pane fixed, 1:1 single-hung, and 4-pane fixed units, as well as fixed-pane sidelights. All windows are made of wood fiber and thermoplastic polymer composite. The proposed ADU is two stories, with a first-floor garage and attached carport, a first-floor porch, and a second-floor deck. It is clad in horizontal fiber-cement siding, with board-and-batten accents at the top half of the second floor. It is mostly windowless at the first floor, save for one single- pane window at the north elevation. A collection of single-pane casement and fixed windows are irregularly arranged beneath the second-story eaves at the main (east), south, and rear elevations. The right elevation features mulled 1:1 single-hung windows with fiber-cement trim. The proposed guesthouse has a compound roof composed of flat, hipped, shed, and side-gabled elements. 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: 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 HLC previously approved the demolition of an earlier structure at this address. The older adjacent buildings are one story while the new buildings are two stories; the ADU does not appear to be visible from the street. The primary building’s design reflects traditional concepts; however, the façade utilizes accent materials, rooflines, and fenestration patterns that do not appear on historic-age structures in its immediate vicinity. 10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION JUNE 22, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0205 1615 HOLLY STREET D.1 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1942 house. ARCHITECTURE The house at 1615 Holly Street is a one-story rectangular-plan cottage with a side-gabled composition shingle roof. Box columns support its shed-roofed entryway. It is clad in vertical wood siding, with 2:2 aluminum replacement windows and metal handrails flanking a poured concrete stoop. RESEARCH The house was constructed in 1942 by Martin Herman, who sold it to Ernest J. and Ethel Kunkel in 1944. Kunkel was a taxi driver. He and his wife lived at 1615 Holly until around 1946, when they sold the home to Mary Gonzales Cordova and her husband Vicente, who worked as an upholsterer. The Cordovas leased the home until after 1952. By 1955, Lorenzo and Mary Corpus had purchased it. Lorenzo Corpus worked for the City’s Water and Sewer Department as a pipe layer. The Corpus family lived at 1615 Holly until at least 1972, when they remodeled the home. STAFF COMMENTS 1615 Holly Street was recommended in the 2016 East Austin Historic Resource Survey as a contributing structure to potential National Register and local historic districts. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is under 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate to high integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). The property does not appear to demonstrate significance according to City Code: a) Architecture. The building does not appear to convey architectural significance. b) Historical association. There do not appear to be significant historical associations. 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 value to the city. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Encourage rehabilitation and adaptive re-use, then relocation. Release the permit upon completion of a City of Austin documentation package.

June 16, 2020 City of Austin Historic Landmark Commission P.O. Box 1088 Austin, TX 78767 Re: 2502 Park View Drive, Austin, Texas Dear Historic Landmark Commissioners, Mid Tex Mod, the leading voice for the preservation of mid-century modern architecture in our region, submits this letter of opposition to the proposed demolition of the house at 2502 Park View Drive. As the Central Texas chapter of Docomomo US, Mid Tex Mod’s mission is to raise awareness of buildings, sites, neighborhoods, and landscapes of the modern movement and to advocate for their preservation, documentation, and sustained use. Mid Tex Mod strongly opposes the release of a demolition permit for 2502 Park View Drive. Our organization fully supports any efforts to preserve this architecturally and historically significant residence and contributing resource to the potential Austin Air-Conditioned Village Historic District. The residence at 2502 Park View Drive represents one of twenty-two original test houses constructed in 1954 as part of the Austin Air-Conditioned Village. This community of modest ranch and contemporary- style homes in the Edgewood Subdivision of Austin served as an experimental research project conducted by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and research partners including the University of Texas at Austin to assess the integration of central air conditioning in mid-priced suburban residences. Twenty-two houses, constructed by eighteen local homebuilders, incorporated different air- conditioning systems with a variety of building plans, orientations, and cladding materials to monitor the effectiveness and affordability of central air conditioning for the middle class. Monitoring of occupants for a period of one year, under the direction of the National Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Association’s Mobile Laboratory, documented residents’ experiences and daily habits with air-conditioned living. Ultimately, the testing results at the Austin Air-Conditioned Village demonstrated that the installation and operation of residential air conditioning could be achieved in modest houses at a reasonable cost, thereby influencing residential building and lending practices in the ensuing decades. 2502 Park View Drive, known as “The Air Temp” house, originally incorporated a Chrysler AirTemp air- conditioning system. Designed by local architect Fred Winfield Day and constructed by local builder Wayne A. Burns (developer of the Edgewood Subdivision), the contemporary-style house features low sloping roof lines; wide overhanging eaves; fixed, horizontal-sliding sash, and clerestory windows; a variety of cladding materials including asbestos, wood siding, and brick; a large carport; and patterned brick screening walls. The addition of a small …
