OPPORTUNITY AT RISK San Antonio’s Older Affordable Housing Stock Prepared for the San Antonio Office of Historic Preservation Completed by PlaceEconomics 2019 Table of Contents EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION Overview of Housing Affordability Oldering Housing Stock and Affordable Housing 1 2 11 42 43 54 56 OLDER HOUSING STOCK AND AFFORDABILITY: SAN ANTONIO Approach to Analysis The Basics Demolition Risk Analysis A Closer Look at Factors Affecting Demolition Risk CONCLUSION POSSIBLE TOOLS Financial Incentives Financial Disincentives Regulatory Knowledge and Planning Civic Engagement Strategic Home Repair Direct Action RECOMMENDATION MATRIX ACKNOWLEDGMENTS AND METHODOLOGY 57 APPENDICES Executive Summary This study was commissioned by the San Antonio Office of Historic Preservation to understand the contribution of housing stock built before 1960 towards affordable housing. Significant findings include: • One in three San Antonio households is spending more than 30 percent of their income on housing and nearly half of all renters meet this “cost burdened” threshold. • Over the last decade, while median household income increased 1.9% per year, housing prices increased at 4.7% per year. • While San Antonio is experiencing greater than national average growth in jobs and housing, most of the new homes are large and expensive and much of the job growth is in lower wage jobs. The existing pre-1960 housing stock is providing largely unsubsidized and unprotected affordable housing. • • Every week over the last ten years, San Antonio has lost 3 • units of pre-1960 housing to demolition. Twenty-two percent (22%) of all housing units were constructed prior to 1960. • • Pre-1960 homes are smaller than newer homes with a greater share of pre-1960 housing in fair or poor condition than is housing built in 1960 or later. Thirty-three percent (33%) of the households making 60% Area Median Income or less live in neighborhoods with a concentration of pre-1960 housing, including a larger share who identify as Hispanic. The pre-1960 housing stock in San Antonio is home to a large share of long-term residents. • • Single family, renter occupied structures in fair and poor condition are the most at-risk of demolition. • Vacancy rates in older, historically redlined areas of the city are higher and homeownership rates, rents, and general condition are lower than the rest of the city. Given these facts, the use of older, existing pre-1960 housing stock must be a central component of an affordable housing strategy. 22% of all housing units …

The current owner approached Clayton & Little to develop a sensitive and respectful solution to the home’s previous remodels which had compromised the interior layout and exterior envelope. We had several main issues that needed to be resolved on this project; interior daylight, circulation from interior spaces and within interior spaces, and the exterior patio spaces. We approached these with a goal to minimize the impact to the existing envelope and where interventions where required, to make them as unobtrusive as possible. The lot is elevated above the street by an average of approximately 6’ and the existing home sits at the back of the property which enhances the privacy of the home and minimizes visibility from the street. We worked to be as conscientious as possible regarding and street facing enhancements and minimized these to a proposed addition of a visually “light weight” steel door and window assembly infilled at two openings (East to the street and South to the pool) in the existing carport. This area is to be used as a breakfast and reading area with direct access from the kitchen, interior stairwell, and ground floor guest bedroom. The direct access from the kitchen to this area is accomplish via a new conditioned hallway from the kitchen to the breakfast area that is proposed to be constructed of the same steel glazing assembly. The existing interior stairway once had generous windows that provided natural light for the stairwell but a previous addition eliminated those windows leaving the stairwell dark. We proposed the addition of a low‐ profile light monitor / skylight above the stairwell with small windows facing South, East & North. The height of this element was intentionally kept as low as possible so that it would not be visible from the street. The West side of the house was previously compromised by another addition of an exterior second floor patio with an intersecting gable roof covering approximately 40% of the outdoor space. During an …

I have resided at 1318 Travis Heights Blvd and have owned 1314 Travis Heights Blvd since 1979. I strongly object to approval of a demolition permit for the referenced property. The research conducted by the Historical Landmark Commission documents that the property was the home of civic leaders that were important to Austin's history. Although the Commission concluded that the property did not have "community value", I disagree with that conclusion. While modifications of the property, especially in the rear portions, have not been consistent with the Colonial Revival architecture, the front of the property still retains much of the design elements of the original structure and contributes to the character of the Travis Heights neighborhood. As you well know, our historic Travis Heights neighborhood has seen an unprecedented number of demolitions and rebuilds that have drastically altered the character of the neighborhood.

The Alden & Mabel Davis House was selected as a Representative Property in the pending Travis Heights National Register District as a good example of Colonial Revival architecture as well as its landscape design. The porch has been modified from a front-gabled entry stoop with cornice returns to a nearly full façade porch supported by Doric order columns. However, the original arched door with its fan light and flanking pilasters remain. Noteworthy design features are the arched porte cochere under an enclosed sleeping porch and extruded mortar joints. The landscape includes a curved driveway, brick wall, iron fencing and formal garden. The house was designed by Austin architect Edwin Kreisle and built in 1936 by contractor Tom Jones, who also built the Reuter House, an Austin Historic Landmark on nearby Rosedale Terrace. Mabel Davis was a friend of Mrs. Reuter and visited the Reuter site during construction. Impressed with Jones’ work, she hired him to build her new home on Alta Vista Avenue. The house is better known for its association with Mrs. Davis than her husband and is often called the Mabel Davis House, sans Alden Davis. Mabel Davis served as president of many garden and civic organizations that are still operating in Austin while living in the house. She served as president of the Violet Crown Garden Club, the Humane Society, and the Austin Women’s Club. An avid gardener and landscape enthusiast, she was instrumental in raising money and securing the land for the Garden Center in Zilker Park. Both the Zilker Rose Garden and Mabel Davis Park are named in her honor. During World War II, she was the head of the Travis County Red Cross, over approximately 5,000 volunteers in the organization. She also organized a surgical dressing unit in the Driskill Hotel. (Information from the 1987 Live Oak Tour of Homes Festival (Fairview Park and Travis Heights) booklet.

IN FAVOR OF RELOCATION!!!!! IN FAVOR OF RELOCATION!!!!! IN FAVOR OF RELOCATION!!!!! Our family would like to express our deepest hopes and prayers to RELOCATE the Evangelical Lutheran Church at Dessau to Pioneer Farms. It was an answered prayer (miracle) when Pioneer Farms contacted us, with their desire to acquire our Church, and move it to their location. They have been looking for a Church for quite some time. The relocation of this Church will answer prayers of so many church and family members, who have attended services, funerals, weddings, picnics, reunions, landscape upkeep, and visiting family at the grave sites in the Cemetery. We are a seven generation family of the Wielands and Nauerts. I know, from the bottom of my heart, that our ancestors and future descendants of our family, want this endeavor to be accomplished. 1) The current location of the Church is growing with development and will soon prevent the ability to move the structure. 2) The Church will be restored and utilized at Pioneer Farms, to exhibit the history of our ancestors, and possibly provide a historical site for future events, such as those which have been conducted at the Church's current location. 3) The future location, at Pioneer Farms, will be near the cabin of one of the original builders - Frederick Kruger. 4) When the construction of this Church was completed (my Maternal Great Grandfather, Martin Wieland, drew the plans for construction), the first services were held in the German language. My Mother remembered this from her childhood, as she was born on the Nauert Farm, across the street from the Church, which is now being covered with apartment buildings. 5) There has to be an awareness, that there are some structures in this city, that NEED TO BE RESTORED - NOT DESTROYED. This is our opportunity to give future generations the ability to experience and cherish their history. 6) This project needs to proceed, having been in limbo for three years. RELOCATION of this Church is the only hope that our family has, in preserving our German history, and answering prayers of so many families, who have worked so …

June 12, 2020 Emily Reed, Chair City of Austin Historic Landmark Commission Re: 2502 Park View Drive Dear Ms. Reed, Preservation Austin has been our city’s leading nonprofit voice for historic preservation since 1953. We write today to express our dismay at the proposed demolition of 2502 Park View Drive, located in Allandale’s Air Conditioned Village. We ask the Historic Landmark Commission to support historic zoning for this significant property in the areas of Architecture, Historical Associations, and Community Value. The Air Conditioned Village was built in 1954 to assess the cost-effectiveness and profitability of central air in middle-class housing. Twenty-three houses, each featuring air-conditioning systems from a different manufacturer, were sold to families who agreed to allow their homes and habits to be studied by University of Texas scientists. Austinite Ned Cole, an architect and head of the air-conditioning subcommittee of the National Association of Homes Builders, spearheaded the project, which was the first multi-home experiment of its kind worldwide. Local architects and builders designed each unique home with energy-saving design elements to test their effectiveness. These include window placement along north and south facades; trees, trellises, and overhangs; pale paint colors and white roofing materials to reflect sunlight. Architect Fred Day designed 2502 Park View Drive, known as “The Air Temp.” Energy-efficient features include south-facing orientation and a wide, low-pitched roof which extends nearly four feet beyond the home’s footprint on all sides. Distinctive brick screens, exposed roof beams, and its asymmetrical façade make this home one of the development’s most stylized examples of mid-century design. Day (1926-2014) was a recent graduate of the UT School of Architecture. He worked for Ned Cole and Fehr & Granger before establishing his own firms in the 1960s. Day merged with Jessen Jessen Millhouse Greeven & Crume to become Jessen, Inc. in 1969, and served as the firm’s principal and president until 1993. His distinguished career included numerous awards from AIA Austin and the Texas Society Architects. He was president of AIA Austin and awarded an honorary Life Membership on the UTSOA Advisory Council. His works include Austin’s Teacher Retirement System Building, Faulk Central Library, Austin Doctors Building, renovations to the UT Law School and Student Union, the Recreation and Convocation Center at St. Edwards University, the pro bono master plan and drawings for Laguna Gloria, and the Visitors Center at McDonald Observatory. According to his obituary: “An innovative designer, he …

This is a great house. I have long admired it and wondered how, if it ever went on the market, I might be able to buy it—to refurbish it, not steam shovel it into oblivion. Allandale is a tight enclave, chocked‐full of friends and neighbors deeply distressed over the systematic leveling of cherished mid‐century homes for cookie‐cutter, poorly built, price‐gouging new constructions. On our street alone there are three identical Paradiso homes priced well‐over a million dollars. Two of these homes have had significant construction issues and detract from the quaint beauty of the much‐loved older homes on the block. It seems to me a city that respects its roots should be working overtime to encourage revitalization to older neighborhoods rather than allowing for the destruction of its gems. Entice architects and builders into our neighborhood who would like nothing more than to help homeowners maintain the integrity of these historic homes. When history, particularly a unique community history, is diminished, caring neighbors and good citizens become apathetic strangers living in rows of uninviting, generic, over‐priced, houses. It’s a sad future and one I hope Austin can avoid. Thank you for listening, Neena Husid 2503 Ellise Avenue 78757 CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Margaret Herman Friday, July 23, 2021 11:44 AM PAZ Preservation public comment re: 2502 Park View Drive *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Historic Landmark Commission, I'd like to submit a comment on the proposal to demolish 2502 Park View Drive being discussed at your July 26th meeting. My name is Margaret Herman, and I work at a historic preservation agency in New York City (writing today for myself as an individual). I happen to be a former resident of Allandale ‐ my family moved into a house a few streets over from 2502 Park View Drive in the 1980s when I was a young child, and my mother still resides there today. As longtime residents of the neighborhood and for myself as an architectural historian, we both strongly oppose this proposal for demolition. I recently became aware of the proposed National Register nomination for Allandale's Air‐Conditioned Village, of which this property at 2502 Park View Drive is an essential piece. Referred to as the "Chrysler Air Temp Home," it retains a high degree of integrity to its period of significance during the air‐conditioning tests, and its paneled facade and window pattern, its perforated brick screens, and overhanging roof line continue to express the story of Allandale's role in the history of mid‐20th century HVAC engineering and modern architecture in the southwestern United States. Local residents such as my mother are supportive of efforts to preserve the low‐slung 1950s ranch homes of Allandale, many on large lots with mature trees, which contribute to its distinct sense of place and have made it such a beautiful community to raise their families. Now that the historical significance of 2502 Park View Drive and the Air‐Conditioned Village project as a whole has come to light, there's a new level of pride in the neighborhood. Please prevent this demolition from occurring. Surely there are preservation‐minded ways to repair/rehab the house while retaining its historic fabric so that residents in the future can be reminded of the house's and the historic district's importance.

QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: Architecture and historical associations HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: N/A PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: N/A DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The property is recommended eligible as a City of Austin landmark and individually eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places in the 2016 East Austin Historic Resource Survey. CITY COUNCIL DATE: N/A ORDINANCE READINGS: N/A CASE MANAGER: Kalan Contreras NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS: Austin Independent School District, Austin Lost and Found Pets, Austin Neighborhoods Council, Barrio Unido Neighborhood Assn., Capital Metro, Del Valle Community Coalition, East Austin Conservancy, East Cesar Chavez Neighborhood Association, East Cesar Chavez Neighborhood Plan Contact Team, El Concilio Mexican -American Neighborhoods, Friends of Austin Neighborhoods, Greater East Austin Neighborhood Association , Guadalupe Neighborhood Development Corporation, Homeless Neighborhood Association, Neighborhood Empowerment Foundation, Neighbors United for Progress, Preservation Austin, SELTexas, Sierra Club, Austin Regional Group, Tejano Town, Waterloo Greenway BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: Architecture: The home at 905 E. 2nd Street was built around 1906. It is a one-story, L-plan, Folk Victorian house with cross-hipped metal roof; horizontal wood siding; a partial-width, shed-roofed porch with chamfered posts and jig-sawn brackets; and 2:2 wood windows with screens. The building retains integrity, with extant original windows and decorative details—uncommon for homes of this age in the area. Historical associations: The 2016 East Austin Historic Resource Survey identifies the property as an integral resource associated with East Austin’s development patterns, demographic shifts, and resident lifeways. The building was consistently occupied by middle- to working-class renters whose occupations and terms of residency were dependent upon the growth of the greater East Austin area. The demographic shift from residents of Anglo and European-American descent to those of Latino descent during the 1950s is indicative of larger demographic trends in East Austin. Thus, the building’s historical associations exemplify general residency patterns in East Austin.
