PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Enclose second-floor window at main façade. 2) Partially demolish rear of residence and construct two-story addition. The proposed addition’s compound roofline is visible above the ridgeline of the existing building. It is clad in horizontal siding to match the existing building, and it features irregular fenestration throughout. Its roof is clad in asphalt shingles. The proposed addition will partially integrate an existing rear addition. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Two-story house with second-floor balcony and side-gabled roof, clad in horizontal siding. 1:1 windows with decorative wood shutters at main façade; fenestration varied throughout remainder of house. The house at 1406 W. 29th Street was constructed around 1936 by J. A. Boyles. Its first owners were John and Pauline Singleton. John Singleton was a director at the Texas Board of Control. After the Singletons moved, the home was occupied by salesman Thomas McFarlin and his wife, Grace. By 1944, accountant John T. Davis and salon owner Mitzi Davis lived in the home, selling by 1947 to Mrs. J. M. Hooper; Hooper in turn sold the home to the Nelson family, a painter and bookkeeper. By 1952, 1406 W. 29th was home to the Carruth family. Irby B. Carruth, a former Waco superintendent, had moved to Austin in 1950 to take on the role of Austin’s school superintendent. After the Carruths’ departure, psychiatrist Albert D. Pattillo and his wife Charlotte occupied the house for several years.

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 some historic fabric at the west façade to accommodate the expanded front porch. 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 new work at the south elevation is differentiated by its placement and materials. It is minimally visible from the street. The proposed porch is less differentiated and more visible than the added side porch and deck. While the proposed project would modify the character-defining front porch, the new work’s scale, size, and details are compatible with the existing building. 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 …

If you are making changes to a contributing property or constructing a new building within a National Register historic district, consider the standards below as advisory guidelines: 1. Use a property for its historic purpose or place it in a new use that requires minimal change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and environment. 2. Retain and preserve the historic character or a property shall be retained and preserved. Avoid the removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property. 3. Recognize each property 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 architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken. 4. Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired historic significance in their own right shall be retained and preserved. 5.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS C.11- 1 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT JANUARY 25, 2021 HR-2020-191858 2525 HARTFORD ROAD PROPOSAL Construct a detached garage. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct a detached garage for the residence at 2522 Jarratt Avenue. The proposed garage is clad in stucco and capped with a side-gabled slate roof with gabled dormers and a cupola. Fenestration includes clad-wood 6:6 windows with wood trim and operable shutters, clad- wood arched windows at dormers, partially glazed double doors with fanlight and gaslamp above at the southwest elevation, and carriage doors with partial glazing at the northeast elevation. Decorative details include a dentilled cornice and trim at the southwest gable. 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 proposed new building takes its design cues––including massing and architectural features––from the main house at 2522 Jarratt. It is differentiated by modern light fixtures, cupola, and glazing patterns. Its one-story height and Colonial Revival details are compatible with surrounding buildings. The cupola structure is less compatible with surrounding historic buildings. 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 building were demolished in the future, the remainder of the district would be unimpaired. The Historic Landmark Commission released a demolition permit for the existing structure September 28, 2020. Comment on proposed design, suggesting omission of the cupola, then release the permit.

C.12 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JANUARY 25, 2021 HR 2020-113802 223 EAST SIXTH STREET PROPOSAL SIXTH STREET NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT Construct a roof deck on a ca. 1872 commercial building. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct a roof deck atop a single-story commercial building. The proposed deck is two stories in height with a flat roof. It is clad in stucco and features full-height operable glass panels at the first floor and recessed glass-and-stucco enclosures at the second. It is surrounded by a metal guardrail that meets the parapet at the San Jacinto elevation and is set back approximately 43 feet from the 6th Street elevation. Metal stairs at the north elevation allow access to the upper deck. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH 1-story, 2-part commercial block with applied stucco and brick veneer over historic brick. Its Sixth Street façade features operable multi-lite windows, a brick veneer cornice below the parapet in the Art Moderne style, and fabric awnings. Its San Jacinto façade features several arches with brick infill, suggesting an interpretation of the Texas Vernacular Arched style described in the Sixth Street Design Guidelines. 223 E. 6th Street was constructed between 1872 and 1885 as a commercial structure. The Sixth Street National Register District nomination form suggests that its build date was 1872; the Sanborn map from 1885 shows active construction on the site from that date, suggesting that the 1872 structure was altered or replaced. The building’s first owner-occupant was P. G. Roach, a relative of O. Henry, who operated a grocery store there before renting it out to brothers Isidore and Morris Michaelson in 1889. Roach eventually sold the property to Benjamin H. Smith and William B. Brady, who moved their eminently successful boot and shoe business to the building from 1891 to 1900. In 1894, they completed an extension to the store to increase the size of their sales floor. Smith & Brady shared the space with Deen & Deen Grocers, as well as Henry Vranian, a fruit stand operator. Grocers William W. Deen and his partner Thomas B. Walling took over the entire space after Smith & Brady’s 1900 departure. Deen and Walling sold groceries, liquor, coffee, and crockery from 223 E. 6th Street until around 1905, when R. B. Walling took over as a dry goods salesman. He remained only until around 1909, when Bohn-Shelby Dry Goods moved into the building. They …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION JANUARY 25, 2021 PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS GF-2020 194583 1616 NORTHUMBERLAND ROAD OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT C.13 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1940 house. ARCHITECTURE 1616 Northumberland is a two-story house clad in horizontal wood siding with second-floor balcony, 6:6 wood windows, and side-gabled roof. The Historic Landmark Commission approved a partial demolition and porch remodel in April of 2020. RESEARCH The house at 1616 Northumberland Road was constructed in 1940 for Francis J. and Jane Johson Amsler. Francis Amsler was employed by the E.M. Scarbrough Company for almost 50 years, beginning his career as a teenager in 1923 before advancing to credit manager, treasurer, and vice-president of the company. Amsler was active in Austin’s business and retail community throughout his long career, serving as head of the Better Business Bureau, president of the Texas State Retail Merchants’ Association, chairman of the Austin Advertising Review Board, chairman of Downtown Austin Unlimited, and president of the Retail Credit Executives of Texas. The Amslers contributed to Austin in other ways as well; Jane Amsler was active in the Red Cross and Francis Amsler served the Austin Community War Chest, Child and Family Services, and the United Fund. The Amslers lived at 1616 Northumberland until at least 1974. STAFF COMMENTS Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building does not retain integrity. 3) Properties must meet two historic designation criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). The property has been evaluated and does not meet two criteria: a) Architecture. The building displays Monterey and Colonial Revival influences. b) Historical association. There do not appear to be historical associations; however, the Commission may consider the contributions of retail executive Francis Amsler to Austin business and advertising. 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 reuse, then release the permit. New construction plans will require Commission review. LOCATION MAP C.13 - …

Construct a new one-story building. PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish existing contributing house. 2) Construct a new residence. The proposed new building is two stories in height with a basement level. It is clad in fiber-cement siding with masonry accents. The main elevation features a full-width front porch with full-height casement windows. Secondary elevations include gently sloping rooflines, irregular fenestration composed of full-height fixed glazing and horizontally oriented fixed windows, an open staircase, and garage and carports at 12th Street elevation. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story house with side-gabled roof of corrugated metal, clad in horizontal wood siding. It features 1:1 wood windows and decorative screens, as well as a covered entry supported by triangular brackets. The house at 1615 Waterston Avenue was constructed in 1936 by contractor Lewis Austin Back. Back and his wife, Lillian T. Swenson Back, lived in the home until after 1941, when it became a rental property. Renters included Vivian Widerstrom, a clerk at the Voss Company, and her son Fahey, as well as family friend Bess Oliver. Fahey Widerstrom and his wife Ruth then occupied the home. After the Widerstroms departed in the early 1950s, J. D. and Bonnie Johnson—a student and a clerk for an insurance company—moved in, followed by J. B. and Yvonne Hamilton and Raymond Huerta. STAFF COMMENTS The house contributes to the West Line National Register Historic 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 historic designation 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 house displays Minimal Traditional and Craftsman influences. 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.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JANUARY 25, 2021 GF-2020-171512 1517 MURRAY LANE OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT C.4 - 1 Demolish a ca. 1928 contributing house and construct a new residence, pool, and shed. PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish existing contributing house. 2) Construct a new two-story building. The proposed new house will be clad in stucco with decorative galvanized metal screens, galvanized metal downspouts and gutters, fixed-pane undivided windows, and a compound roof clad in composition shingles. 3) Construct a swimming pool at the rear of the lot. 4) Construct a new shed. The shed will be clad in stucco. ARCHITECTURE One-story house with horizontal wood siding, side-gabled roof, wood windows with decorative screens, eyebrow dormers, and a partial-width covered porch with curved pediment and Classical columns. RESEARCH 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 Line Products, Morley Drug Company, and W.H. Morley Wholesale. After his death in 1948, William Morley’s widow Delle Mayne Morley continued to live in the home, adding on to the main structure and renting out the former manufacturing facility to tenants. Delle Morley sold the house in 1961, and it was occupied by a series of short-term owners and renters until at least 1992. 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 …
