B.7 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APRIL 27, 2020 APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS LHD-2020-0014 602 HIGHLAND AVENUE SMOOT/TERRACE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT PROPOSAL Construct a habitable basement and replace a rear staircase. ARCHITECTURE One-story, rectangular-plan house with a gable roof, wood cladding, 4-over-1 and 3-over-1 wood-sash windows, and a gable-roofed entry porch with battered piers. The house has a partial-width habitable basement where the grade slopes down from the street. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish the existing basement and construct a larger basement with vertical wood siding, triple banks of fixed and sliding windows, and paired fully glazed doors. Replace an existing wood staircase at the rear (west) elevation with a new steel-framed staircase. The primary façade of the historic building will not be altered. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The property is contributing to the Smoot/Terrace Park Historic District. The following requirements from the historic district design standards apply to the proposed project: Additions to Contributing Buildings 1. New additions should be compatible with the historic building by reflecting the scale, massing, and/or materials of the historic building, but differentiated enough so that they are not confused as historic or original to the building. The basement addition is clad in vertical wood siding that is similar to the historic siding in material, but differentiated in orientation and pattern. The project meets this standard. 3. Design new additions that are subordinate to and do not overpower the historic building. The basement addition is minimally visible and subordinate to the historic building. It meets this standard. 4. Construct additions that avoid the removal or obstruction of any historic exterior features on the front of the building or the sides within 15 feet of the front. The basement addition does not entail the removal or obstruction of historic exterior features. It meets this standard. 6. A new basement addition may extend to the front of the house. The basement addition extends to the front of the house, as allowed. It meets this standard. B.7 - 2 7. Design basement additions so that they do not raise the floor level of the house, or so that the new floor level of the house is not higher than either the average of the contributing houses on the same block face, or the average of the adjacent houses if contributing. The basement addition does not raise the floor level of the house. It meets this standard. The project …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS B.8 - 1 APRIL 27, 2020 C14H-1986-0008 SCARBROUGH BUILDING 522 CONGRESS AVENUE Remove plate glass from the Congress Avenue storefront to create a semi-outdoor dining area for a new restaurant and install a new railing at the opening. PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The applicant proposes the removal of the plate glass storefront windows along the Congress Avenue elevation of the building to align with the applicant’s restaurant use and create a sheltered outdoor dining area. To separate the dining area from the street, the applicant proposes the installation of a new ornamental metal railing, painted black. 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: 1) A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal change to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships. Evaluation: The Scarbrough Building housed E.M. Scarbrough & Sons, downtown Austin’s premier department store. The plate glass storefronts along Congress Avenue were display windows for their merchandise. The restaurant that has come into the former department store space has removed the plate glass. Besides the attraction of a semi-open air dining area for the restaurant, there does not appear to be any clear need for altering the building by removing the plate glass display windows. 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. Evaluation: The display windows along Congress Avenue are part of the building’s history as a department store. The removal of the windows has compromised the integrity and historical context of the building. The project does NOT meet the applicable standards. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS Not reviewed. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Deny the application for the removal of the plate glass and direct that the applicant immediately restore the windows removed without review and approval by the Commission. Condition the applicant’s application for a property tax exemption for this property on the restoration of the removed windows. B.8 - 2 E-mail from applicant, March 25, 2020: I am sorry to hear that we missed this requirement when making the submission of this revision to the City of Austin. We did submit a revision to the City of Austin, …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS B.9 - 1 APRIL 27, 2020 C14H-1978-0033 LITTLEFIELD BUILDING 106 E. 6TH STREET Install a removable metal canopy along with 6th Street elevation of the building. PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The applicant proposes a suspended metal canopy along the east portion of the 6th Street elevation of the building. The canopy will extend over the retail spaces to the east of the 6th Street entrance to the building. The canopy will be suspended from metal cables and will be constructed of welded aluminum with a sheet metal roof and a frosted plexiglass ceiling. The exterior of the canopy will be finished in black. The canopy has a modern design. The applicant’s drawings show signage to be installed on the face of the canopy but no application for signs has been submitted at this time. There is currently a metal canopy over the 6th Street entrance to the building, but canvas awnings over the retail space to the east. Historic photos show the metal awning and the entry on 6th Street but nothing over the current retail space to the east: B.9 - 2 B.9 - 3 B.9 - 4 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: 1) 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: There is no historic record of a metal canopy at this location on the building. 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: If permitted, the new canopy will not mimic the historic style of the existing canopy over the 6th Street entrance (which is a modern reconstruction of the historic canopy), but will be compatible with the scale and materials of the existing canopies. B.9 - 5 10) New additions and adjacent or related construction will be undertaken in such a manner that, if removed …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS C.1 - 1 FEBRUARY 24, 2020 NRD-2020-0004 92 RAINEY STREET RAINEY STREET NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1911-12 contributing bungalow and construct a new high-rise tower in its place. 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. An altered metal shipping container with viewport projects from a 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 Alonzo B. Cook, who ran a horseshoeing shop on Congress Avenue. From 1914 to 1920, the house had many owners and renters, including a painter, a grocer, and a night watchman. By 1920, it had been purchased by Emil and Edith Bohls. Emil Bohls was the proprietor of a restaurant in 1920, but he soon opened an auto paint shop on 5th Street, which remained in business for many years. By 1937, as Austin’s automobile culture continued to grow, Bohls had expanded his repertoire to include a tourist camp, as well as a filling station, on South Congress Avenue. By 1939, the Bohls family had 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 …

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 …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APRIL 27, 2020 PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NRD-2020-0005 2902 OAKMONT BOULEVARD OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT C.2 - 1 PROPOSAL Construct a carport and rear addition to a ca. 1952 house. ARCHITECTURE 1½-story, side-gabled, rectangular-plan house clad in stucco with wood siding in the gable ends. Features include multi-lite vinyl-sash windows, a shed-roofed entry porch, and triple gable dormers with arched windows. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The project has two parts: 1) Construct a hip-roofed carport attached to the south wall and supported by turned wood posts. The carport will be set back 13’ from the front wall of the house; and 2) Construct a one-story rear addition with a footprint of 614 square feet. The addition will be capped with a gable roof, clad in horizontal siding to match existing, and have fixed, casement, and 1:1 wood-sash windows. A gable-roofed entry porch supported by turned posts will be attached to the south wall. RESEARCH The house was constructed by W. B. Houston and occupied by a series of short-term renters, with none remaining for more than five years. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The house is a contributing property in the Old West Austin National Register Historic District. It does not appear to meet the standards for designation as a historic landmark. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building retains a moderate degree of integrity. 3) Properties must meet at least two historic designation criteria for landmark designation (City of Austin Land Development Code Section 25-2-352). The property does not appear to be significant under any criteria. a. Architecture. The building does not appear to be architecturally significant. b. Historical association. A series of short-term renters occupied the house during the historic period. There do not appear to be 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 appear to possess a unique location, physical characteristic, or significant feature that contributes to the character, image, or cultural identity of the community, Austin, or Texas as a whole. 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 APRIL 27, 2020 NRD-2020-0006 1517 MURRAY LANE C.3 - 1 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT PROPOSAL Construct a two-story rear addition to a contributing house; replace front porch columns, roof shingles, door, and windows; and cover existing siding with new siding. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Replace wood porch columns with columns of a more modern design. 2) Cover existing wood siding with new shiplap and paint. 3) Replace green scalloped roof shingles with gray shingles of unspecified new shape/profile. 4) Construct a new two-story addition to the rear of the house. The addition will be set back beyond the ridge line. It will be clad in aluminum siding with fixed single-pane glass windows. The proposed addition will have a flat roof and roof deck, with minimal fenestration on the east and west sides and a rear elevation with full-height glass windows. A covered carport connects the first-floor garage to the proposed living space. 5) Replace door and windows at main elevation. 6) Remove sconces at main elevation. 7) Remove door trim at main elevation. 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 …
