PROPOSAL B.6 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS METROPOLITAN AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH DECEMBER 14, 2020 C14H-1987-0002 1101 E. 10TH STREET Repair to the belfry and relocation of the bell at the Metropolitan AME Church has received a FY 2021 Heritage Grant award. The work is part of a broader scope issued a Certificate of Appropriateness by the Historic Landmark Commission in February 2012. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) At the belfry and northeast tower, proposed work entails repair and/or replacement of damaged stone and repointing of stone and brick where mortar is missing or gaps exceed 1/8”. Repair of damaged roof framing is also required. The work will employ repair mortars and cut stone to match existing. 2) Belfry louver openings will also be repaired, including recoating of steel lintels with a marine-grade product and installation of flashing and new cedar louvers. 3) The bell will be removed from the bell tower, cleaned and waxed, and mounted on the existing church sign with a protective cover. The design of the protective cover will be the subject of a future Certificate of Appropriateness. 4) Additional masonry repairs to the east tower may be performed as funding permits. 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. Removal of the bell from the belfry is necessitated by structural issues. The bell will be displayed on site. 5) 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. The project entails repair or in-kind replacement of deteriorated features, including masonry elements and wood louvers. The mason will perform mortar analysis and match the color, composition, and hardness of the existing mortar. If appropriate, Type S mortar will be used due to the height of the tower. 6) Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used. …

PROPOSAL HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS DECEMBER 14, 2020 1100 KINGSBURY STREET (PEASE PARK) OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT B.7 - 1 Rehabilitation of the Tudor Cottage, a contributing building within Pease Park in the Old West Austin National Register Historic District, has received a FY 2021 Heritage Grant award. The proposed work to the building, along with additional work in Pease Park, was previously reviewed by the Historic Landmark Commission in September 2019 under a National Register Historic District permit. ARCHITECTURE Rectangular-plan building with side-gabled roof, brick cladding, window openings with louvered vents, flush wood replacement doors, and half-timbering in the gable ends. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Rehabilitation work on the Tudor Cottage includes in-kind replacement of the wood shingle roof, replacement of the louvered wood vents with 2:2 clad-wood windows, replacement of existing doors with partially glazed wood doors, and addition of paired fully-glazed doors and sidelights on the north wall surmounted by a new flat steel awning. Adding the new doors and sidelights will entail removing three existing window openings and the portion of the historic wall between them. All work was previously reviewed by the Historic Landmark Commission, excepting the roof replacement. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW Pease Park is a contributing property in the Old West Austin Historic District and appears to meet the standards for designation as a historic landmark. It is a State Antiquities Landmark and a Lone Star Legacy Park (a park that holds special prominence in the local community and the state of Texas). Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The property is more than 50 years old, having been established as a public park in 1875. The contributing building was constructed as a restroom in 1926. 2) The property retains a high degree of integrity. 3) Properties must meet two historic designation criteria for landmark designation (City of Austin Land Development Code (Section 25-2-352). The property meets multiple criteria. a. Architecture. The building is a compact example of the Tudor Revival style and appears to be architecturally significant. b. Historical association. Pease Park is associated with the full sweep of Austin history, from Native American habitation to encampments just after the Civil War to Governor E. M. Pease, who donated the property to the City as a park in 1875, to civic efforts that reflected both local growth and national trends. In the mid-1920s, the Kiwanis Club spearheaded a significant …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 16, 2020 1406 ETHRIDGE AVENUE GF-2020-162558 C.3 - 1 PROPOSAL OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT Construct a rear and garage addition; replace fenestration; box in porch columns and add a gabled roof. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Replace partial-width porch. 2) Construct an addition. The proposed 1.5-story portion of the addition, clad in vertical wood siding, combines a garage with entry at the east (main) elevation with living space above. It features a side-gabled roof and metal-roofed shed dormers. The 2-story portion of the proposed addition is clad in stone veneer and combines a gabled tile roof with standing-seam metal shed accents atop exposed rafter tails. 3) Apply new wood shutters to east elevation. 4) Replace all windows and doors. Proposed replacement windows will match existing in light pattern and size. 5) Replace metal roof with tile. RESEARCH The house at 1406 Ethridge Avenue was built in 1939 for Reverend Edmund Heinsohn, a lawyer and minister, and his family. Heinsohn served as the pastor of University Methodist Church for over a quarter-century, setting a record for the longest stay in a single congregation for a Methodist minister. Heinsohn was a trustee of Southwestern University for nearly forty years and chairman of the board of trustees at Huston-Tillotson College for thirty. He served on the Texas State Library and Archives Commission for twenty-five years. In 1958, Heinsohn was honored as the city’s “Most Worthy Citizen” by the Austin Real Estate Board for his long career in ministry and service. Heinsohn’s Austin legacy is rooted in his anti-war and anti-segregation activism throughout the twentieth century. In the 1930s and 1940s, he spoke up for American neutrality, opposed the religious oppression perpetrated by the Nazi regime, and promoted nonviolence as vice- president of the Methodist Commission on World Peace. University Methodist became one of the first historically white churches to accept Black parishioners in 1957, and Heinsohn chaired the Commission on Human Relations two years later in a bid to prevent violence against civil rights protestors. The reverend’s reputation for inclusivity led to him to maintain friendships among a diverse group of prominent Austinites of all creeds, from Supreme Court judges to J. Frank Dobie. Described as a “legend in his own lifetime” by the Austin American-Statesman in 1979, Heinsohm passed away in 1989 at the age of 100. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The …
Response to Historic Landmark Commission for discussion December 14, 2020 To: Chair and Commissioners, Historic Landmark Commission From: Robin and Taylor Bruce – owners of 1406 Ethridge Ave, and Sam Burch, architect for 1406 Ethridge Ave Date: December 9, 2020 Subject: Proposed Renovation of 1406 Ethridge Ave, Austin TX 78703 Response We are submitting this statement in support of releasing permits to move forward with renovations at 1406 Ethridge Ave, Austin, TX 78703. Following the November 16, 2020 Historic Landmark Commission meeting and the November 30, 2020 Architectural Review Committee meeting, we have made extensive revisions to our original plans in order to incorporate the feedback from Commissions and Historic office team members. We are grateful for their counsel and perspective as we’ve journeyed through this review process. Specifically, in response to advice given by Commissions in the Architectural Review Committee meeting on November 30, 2020, we have made the following substantial changes: • Removed the large front porch as drawn in original renovation plans and have retained the existing covered pediment porch that is reflective of the home’s Colonial Revival style; • Removed the planned mortar wash and retained the original masonry on the existing home; • Retained the original window style, double hung with true divided lights in the pattern that matches the existing and original windows; • Retained the original front door size and shape. We feel that these revisions maintain the historic and architectural integrity of the home, per the expert guidance given to us by Committee and team members, reflect the advice of the Commissioners, and should demonstrate our hope to move forward swiftly with construction at this time. We remain grateful to the HLC for their service in highlighting the legacy of the original occupants of 1406, Reverend Edmund Heinsohn and his family and are honored to be the stewards of this home’s legacy. We look forward to speaking with you on Monday, December 14, 2020. Sincerely, Robin and Taylor Bruce Owners, 1406 Ethridge Ave.

Construct a new one-story building. 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 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. RESEARCH 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). a.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS C.9 - 1 DECEMBER 14, 2020 GF-2020-171512 1517 MURRAY LANE OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1928 contributing house and construct a new residence, pool, and shed. 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 …

PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story house with pyramidal hipped roof, partial-width porch, vertical wood siding, 1:1 aluminum windows, and double entry doors. The house at 2011 Tillotson Avenue was built around 1917 or 1918. Its first owners were Robert and Emma Henderson. Robert Henderson worked for the Austin Oil Manufacturing Company as a laborer. During the 1930s, Robert Henderson, Jr. lived with the family; by the late ’40s and ’50s, he and his wife Fannie were listed as the sole owners. Robert Henderson, Jr. served in the Army during the 1940s, and later worked for the J. M. Odem Construction Company. STAFF COMMENTS The 2016 East Austin Historic Resource Survey identifies the building as a contributing structure to a recommended historic district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high to moderate integrity. 3) Properties must meet two historic designation criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated this property and determined that it does not meet two criteria. a) Architecture. The house is an intact example of a National Folk building type. The East Austin Historic Resource Survey (2016) describes this house style: Among the poor and working classes, new house types began to replace more traditional forms. The linear, one‐room‐deep plans that featured gabled roofs . . . gave way to a new generation of houses with deeper, more box‐like plans and often had hipped or pyramidal roofs with inset porches. The effect created a more vertical emphasis. b) Historical association. The building does not appear to have 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 reuse, then release the permit upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package, consisting of photographs of all elevations, a dimensioned sketch plan, and …
