HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS B.7 - 1 JANUARY 27, 2020 C14H-2006-0029 POPE HOUSE 1612 GASTON AVENUE PROPOSAL Construct a two-story addition at the rear of the house with a two-story glass connector between the original house and the proposed addition, demolish the existing garage and construct a new garage; replace the non-historic front door with a six-panel solid wood door. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The applicant came before the Certificate of Appropriateness Review Committee last year for review and input on the proposed addition to the house; the Committee made some recommendations regarding the scale of the proposed addition, its roofline, and its connection to the existing house, which the applicant has incorporated into the latest set of plans. The proposed addition will be located on the site of the existing one-story addition, breezeway, and garage, on the west side of the house; these sections of the house will be demolished. The proposed addition will have smooth hardi-plank siding, an asphalt shingle roof, and a standing seam metal roof at the framed glass connector between the house and the addition. Windows in the addition will be aluminum-framed. Existing French doors on the back of the house will be replaced with new door units. The previous proposal for a street-facing gable over the garage has been replaced with a design that has the gable at the back of the addition, lowering the roofline along the west elevation of the house. The roof ridgeline will be lower than the ridgeline of the existing house to reduce its visibility from the front; the connector will have a standing seam metal roof that is lower than the roof on the house and the proposed addition. 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: N/A. The use of the property will remain residential. 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: While the addition is large, it is at the back of the house along the west elevation …
December 17, 2019 Mr. Selassie, Upon a thorough examination of the exterior brick veneer, it has become obvious that the overall performance of the system is compromised and failing. The brick was installed atop a concrete step footing which runs the perimeter of the home on the North, South and West sides. The footing alone poses a structural problem in that it is performing differently than the juniper piers beneath the home. As the ground expands and contracts the wood frame and piers are responding in a different fashion than the footing, thus causing the veneer, which is anchored to the original longleaf pine siding beneath the brick, to move and crack in several places. It is in my professional opinion, as a builder that almost exclusively works in historic structures, that the brick veneer and concrete step footing should both be removed from the home. Repairs would be a Pyrrhic victory, at best, and the overall nature of the home would be better served by reviving the existing siding. Upon close examination, I have surmised that the original siding appears to be in good shape and once exposed and painted would add a great deal of value to both the home and the overall fabric of the other homes in the block. Please let me know your thoughts regarding this potential change to the project. Sincerely, James Nolan James Nolan Construction Bertron, Cara From: Sent: To: Subject: Kefetew Selassie Tuesday, January 21, 2020 7:20 PM Bertron, Cara; James Nolan; Desta Selassie Re: 607 Oakland Avenue- Pictures Hello Cara, thank you for your feedback and it is always very helpful to get your perspective. Also please note that we are making significant effort and investment to restore this house, regardless of the guidelines. We are being deliberate with our approach both inside and outside to represent architecture and finish from the 1920s. We are restoring the ship lap inside, restoring original siding and etc... because we believe that is the right way to do it if we are going to restore the house. We are also truly rallying behind the intent of the historic preservation board requirements and not just following the guideline. Therefore we request for your’s and board’s consideration of our request based on what is the best way to accomplish the intent of the guidelines. Refer to clarification to some of your questions below... 1. Foundation: we …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION JANUARY 27, 2020 APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS LHD-2019-0031 607 OAKLAND AVENUE SMOOT/TERRACE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT B.8 - 1 PROPOSAL Remove brick cladding, restore and repair original wood cladding, add a window opening on the front wall, raise the house 2 feet, extend a covered porch across the right side of the building, construct a small 2-level rear addition, construct an attached carport, and shift a window opening forward on the south (secondary) wall. ARCHITECTURE One-story, rectangular-plan house with hipped roof, brick cladding, and 1:1 wood-sash windows covered by decorative shutters; gable-roofed entry porch with brick railing. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The proposed project has eight parts: 1) Remove brick cladding due to cracking and buckling (see backup); 2) Restore and repair original wood cladding; 3) Add a window opening on the front wall to create symmetrical paired openings on both sides of the door; 4) Raise the house 2’ to install new concrete piers and raise the basement height; 5) Extend the covered porch across the entire front wall of the house, rebuilding the porch gable roof and adding boxed columns and metal railings; 6) Construct a two-level rear addition that will extend the side walls by 8’ and have a footprint of 231 square feet. The addition will match existing siding and feature 1:1 wood-sash windows and a fully glazed door at the ground (basement) level. An open deck at the street level (second story of the addition) will have a footprint of 279 square feet, wood decking, metal railings, and metal and wood stairs; 7) Construct an attached carport on the south wall 15’ back from the primary façade. The carport will have a flat roof supported by simple metal posts; and 8) Shift a window opening forward on the south (secondary) wall. 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: General standard Do not add a new feature that was not there historically. The proposed project extends the covered front porch to be full-width, creating a false sense of history. Previously, the applicant proposed to construct an uncovered patio with low brick walls on the right side of the primary façade, a change that would be discernible as new. The proposed full-width porch does not meet this standard, but the patio would. Currently proposed; staff …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS DECEMBER 16, 2019 NRD-2019-0048 1104 MAUFRAIS STREET C.1 - 1 PROPOSAL Construct a new house and detached auxiliary structure. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The proposed primary building is a two-story gable-roofed house clad in stucco and horizontal siding with masonry and tongue-and-groove accents. It features a standing-seam metal roof with shed dormers at each side elevation, and a cross-gabled wing at the southwest corner. Fenestration is varied throughout, with fixed-pane aluminum windows and a projecting siding-framed window at the main elevation. A flat-roofed, partial-width porch shelters the entryway, supported by steel posts. The proposed secondary building is two stories, with a covered carport on the first floor and living space above. It is clad in stucco and horizontal siding with a standing seam metal roof and shed dormers at the front and rear. A wraparound metal staircase provides access to the second floor. 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 construction is differentiated from historic properties in the district by its modern stucco and masonry cladding, its fixed-pane aluminum windows, and its two-story forms on both proposed structures. The proposed roof form, massing, and site orientation of both structures are more compatible with the historic building forms of the neighborhood; the applicant has amended the design to extend the eaves to 30” at the dormers. Massing has been adjusted in revised plans by raising the porch height to 11’6”. The proposed materials are partially compatible, as the majority of historic-age homes on the street are clad in horizontal wood siding. The irregular fenestration pattern on the main house is less compatible; however, the applicant has framed the previous bay window, added second-story windows to the main façade, and enlarged the window at the façade’s first floor per Committee suggestions. 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 …

Bertron, Cara From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Attachments: Kevin Sims Wednesday, January 22, 2020 12:31 PM Bertron, Cara Gaudette, Angela Re: 1215 W 9th St - West Line - Contributing 1215W9thSt_200127.pdf It helps to include the attachment. Please note that the height of the proposed roof line is 1'9" higher than it is now. The porch height stays the same but the slope of the porch roof is increased to maintain the overall proportions of the building. This is something I discussed with the neighborhood. I am meeting with them again this Thursday as a final courtesy. The proposed rear replacement addition is not detailed but the dimensions of it are accurate. The building floors are out of level by 1" to 6". The exterior walls are out of plumb from 2" to 7", giving new meaning to entasis (sorry, that's meant to be a joke...). The ridge of the roof sags toward the middle 8" to 10", giving it a kind of pagoda look, which I like, but it isn't a viable structural condition. After extensive investigation and analysis, it is obvious that the existing building is an extreme state of deterioration and disrepair. As it is, the building is both physically dangerous and an environmental hazard. To rehabilitate it, I will have to carefully rebuild it board by board in order to bring it up to minimum safety and accessibility standards. In other words, I will have to take it down to the stud(s) and replace most of the structural components. Can we have the hearing at the location? I'll show you what I mean. Let me know if I'm missing anything or if you would like to discuss. I did not include the survey or engineering analysis because I believe you already have those documents. Apologies for grammatical errors. Thanks. On January 21, 2020 at 3:47 PM, "Bertron, Cara" <Cara.Bertron@austintexas.gov> wrote: Hi Kevin, this is to follow up with a phone message I just left you.

C.2 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION JANUARY 27, 2020 PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NRD-2019-0073 1215 W. 9TH STREET WEST LINE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT PROPOSAL Rehabilitate a ca. 1910 house, remove an altered porte-cochere and one-story rear addition, and construct a one-story rear addition with a roof deck. ARCHITECTURE 2-story, side-gabled, L-plan house; composite siding with 1:1 and casement vinyl-sash windows; full-width shed-roofed porch; porte-cochere. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The project has four parts: 1) Rehabilitate the house, including replacement of composite siding with wood siding, replacement of 1:1 vinyl-sash windows with double-hung wood-sash windows, expansion of selected second-story window openings, replacement of the vinyl door with a wood door, and repair of porch materials, with in-kind replacement where needed. The porch roof will be raised by 1’9” to increase the slope of the porch roof; 2) Demolish the porte-cochere; 3) Demolish a rear addition; and 4) Construct a one-story rear addition with a footprint of approximately 700 square feet. The addition will be capped with a roof deck, clad in wood lap siding to match the replacement siding on the front of the house, and have fixed and operable aluminum- frame windows. RESEARCH Rush and Minnie Baldwin lived in the house for nearly two decades, from around 1916 until around 1934. Rush Baldwin was born in 1884 in Missouri. His family moved to Austin in 1896, when his father established the printing company that became A.C. Baldwin & Sons. Rush worked in the family business and served as president and secretary of the Austin Rotary club. He died in 1934 after a car accident, which received widespread publicity. A newspaper article announcing his death lauded him as “one of Austin’s best- known and most-respected business men.” Minnie Baldwin (nee Steiner) was born in 1891 in Austin. She married Rush Baldwin around 1912, and the couple had one daughter. Minnie was active in the First Methodist Church, the Austin Woman’s Club, and the League of Women Voters, among others. She died in 1941 in Austin. Allie Vernon lived in the house from around 1930 until her death in 1969. Ms. Vernon was born in 1878 in Texas. She moved to Austin in 1921 with her husband Thomas, who died in 1928. The couple had three children. The 1930 census lists the Vernon family in the house by themselves; by 1940, they were renting space to three “roomers.” An avid sports …
C.3 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JANUARY 27, 2020 NRD-2019-0075 311 E. 6TH STREET SIXTH STREET NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT PROPOSAL Construct a covered rooftop deck. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The proposed covered rooftop deck will extend across the width of the buildings at 311 and 313 East Sixth Street and will have a guardrail set behind the existing historic parapet of the building as well as an exposed second railed section at the left side of the proposed new construction. The proposed deck will have a slanted front wall that tapers back from the parapet to the beginning of the roof. The walls will be constructed of CMU. The front guardrail will be set immediately behind the parapets of the existing buildings. The top of the proposed roof will be 41 feet above the sidewalk. The entire proposed construction will be visible from the street, in complete violation of the Sixth Street Architectural Design Standards, enacted to protect and preserve the character of this historic district. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation as well as the Sixth Street Architectural Design Standards are used to evaluate projects in National Register historic districts. The following Secretary of the Interior’s Standards apply to this proposal: 1) A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires minimal change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and environment. Evaluation: These buildings have been used as nightclubs for many years without the rooftop uses. The rooftop use requires a major change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and environment in increasing the height of the building dramatically and impeding the ability to experience the building as it historically existed. 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. Evaluation: The proposal will significantly alter features and spaces that characterize these one-story building. 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. Evaluation: The proposed rooftop uses will destroy …

C.4 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION JANUARY 27, 2020 PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NRD-2019-0076 2411 PEMBERTON PLACE OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT PROPOSAL Remove and restore brick cladding on a ca. 1951 house, demolish a one-story wing and replace it with a similar two-story addition, replace the shingle roof with slate, and construct a hyphen and two-story rear addition. ARCHITECTURE 2-story, side-gabled, rectangular-plan house; brick cladding with 8:8 wood-sash windows; end chimneys; integrated garage with rear entry. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The project has four parts: 1) Remove brick cladding, add insulation, and replace the brick cladding. New matching brick may be used on the rear wall to allow a new addition to be clad in original brick (see #2); 2) Demolish the one-story wing at the north end of the house and construct a very similar two-story wing with the same footprint and a low-profile second story. The addition will be clad in original brick and include 8:8 wood-sash windows at the ground floor and 8-lite awning windows at the basement level and second story. It will be approximately 5’ higher than the existing wing; 3) Replace the shingle roof with slate; and 4) Construct a one-story hyphen and two-story rear addition. The hyphen will be clad in multi-lite steel-sash windows on the south elevation and hardiplank siding with wood- sash casement windows on the north elevation, and capped by a gabled roof. It will overhang an area used as a carport. The rear addition will be clad in brick to match the existing house, with casement, awning, and fixed wood-sash windows and a side- gabled roof with a simplified version of the existing trim.

D.1 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION JANUARY 27, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2019-0628 1603 E. 7TH STREET PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1917 house. ARCHITECTURE One-story, rectangular-plan building; front-gabled jerkinhead roof; wood siding; double-hung wood-sash windows; half-width porch; door with transom and sidelights. RESEARCH 1603 E. 7th Street was built around 1917 by Dennis and Annie Hunter at a cost of $250. The family then occupied the house for five decades. The Hunters had lived in a previous dwelling on the property for at least five years before constructing the existing house. During this time, they were paying a “vendor’s lien” to the property owner/seller, which they paid off in 1916 to own the property outright. Dennis H. Hunter was born in 1882 in Martindale, Texas, and completed school through the 8th grade. Hunter operated a restaurant on E. 6th Street, which is not named in city directories. He also worked various other jobs: as a saloon bookkeeper (1910), drugstore porter (1914), assistant steward at the Home Social & Benevolence Association (1918), and dry goods store porter (1930). Census records and city directories from the early 1940s show that the Hunters rented rooms in their home, including to James H. Means and another professor at nearby Tillotson Institute. Dennis Hunter died in 1943 in Austin. Annie Storey Hunter was born in 1879 in Texas. She attended three years of college, later working as a dressmaker out of her home. She married Dennis Hunter prior to 1897, and the couple had three sons. Annie Hunter lived in the house until her death in 1970. STAFF COMMENTS The East Austin Historic Resources Survey (2016) identified the property as a potential historic landmark. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain 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 appears to demonstrate significance according to one criterion. a. Architecture. The house embodies the distinguishing characteristics of the Craftsman style and appears to be significant under this criterion. b. Historical association. Dennis and Annie Hunter built the house and lived in the house for roughly fifty years. The Hunters owned a restaurant on E. 6th Street, and were prosperous enough to buy land and construct a house when D.1 - 2 African Americans faced substantial financial …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION JANUARY 27, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2019-0698 609 HEARN STREET D.3 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1914 house. ARCHITECTURE One-story rectangular-plan house with Cumberland-style double doors. It is clad in horizontal wood siding with paired 1:1 wood windows. Its hipped roof is covered with composition shingles. RESEARCH The house at 609 Hearn Street was built around 1914 by William W. Hearn and his wife Ellen. William Washington Hearn was born on February 22, 1888 to homebuilder and firefighter John L. Hearn and dressmaker Aurelia Mills Hearn. William Hearn’s childhood home at 902 Blanco Street was designated a historic landmark in 2005 based upon its architecture and association with John and Aurelia Hearn, middle-class entrepreneurs who contributed to Austin’s growth at the turn of the twentieth century. After his father’s death, William Hearn followed in his footsteps and worked as a carpenter to support the family alongside his siblings, also craftspeople. By 1914, he had moved to the Deep Eddy area. The street was named for the Hearn family, who occupied three adjacent addresses at 605, 607, and 609. William and his brother Claude married sisters Ellen and Alice Johnson and constructed similarly-styled homes next door to each other. Ellen and Alice’s family lived two blocks away on Dam Boulevard (now Lake Austin Boulevard) and Johnson Street, apparently named for the Johnson family. William Hearn was active in the carpenters’ union and ran for public office at least once during his lifetime. William and Ellen Hearn had three children; their son Norman G. Hearn, who briefly occupied the second unit at 609 Hearn St. with his wife Dorothy, was killed in World War II in 1945. After William Hearn’s death in 1964, his nephew Calvin E. Hearn and Calvin’s wife June M. Hearn occupied the home. Calvin Hearn’s childhood home was next door at 607 Hearn, and during the late 1940s and ‘50s, he occupied the garage apartment at 605 Hearn. Calvin, like his uncle, learned his father’s trade as a bricklayer and ran for public office on a platform of working-class values. June Marie Frels Hearn occupied the home until her death in 2011. The home remained in the Hearn family for 105 years until its sale in 2019. STAFF COMMENTS 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 …
