Supporting Documents for Architectural Review Committee for discussion November 30, 2020 To: Committee Members, Architectural Review Committee From: Robin and Taylor Bruce – owners of 1406 Ethridge Ave, and Sam Burch, architect for 1406 Ethridge Ave Date: Provided to the Committee on November 25, 2020 Subject: Proposed Renovation of 1406 Ethridge Ave, Austin TX 78703 Response We are submitting this statement in support of granting permit to move forward with updates and renovations at 1406 Ethridge Ave (“1406”), Austin, TX 78703 in order to extend the life of the home and update its premises to allow for comfortable occupancy for a family of five. As we shared in our original meeting with the HLC on November 16, 2020, we (owners, Robin and Taylor Bruce) are incredibly grateful to the HLC for highlighting the pioneering legacy of the original occupants of 1406, Reverend Edmund Heinsohn and his family. We feel honored to be the stewards of this home’s legacy of inclusion and warmth and to be raising our children amidst such shared values. Our aim in this proposed renovation is to preserve the defining qualities of 1406 while updating the space to accommodate our family of five and plant firm roots in the surrounding neighborhood. We also wanted to reiterate here the expert opinion of Sam Burch, architect, in response to the specific elements detailed in the HLC’s review: • The garage is in fact not a new addition as is stated on C.3-2. The garage was added in 2004 and currently has a composition shingle roof and fiber lap siding. Our plans account for recladding the exterior, replacing the composition shingle and adding living space in the existing attic which will not change the overall roofline. We are adding a dormer that is visible from the driveway. These updates will improve the look and feel of the garage from the street. • The new addition detailed in submitted plans at the rear of the house is replacing an existing addition that was constructed in 1994. It is poorly built and contributes nothing to the existing home. When this addition was built all of the existing stone on the rear of the original house was removed. • While the proposed front porch will somewhat alter the front of the house, the intent is for the owner to be able to enjoy the neighborhood and engage with their neighbors. That is currently …
APPLICATION FOR A PERMIT WITHIN A NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION CONGRESS AVENUE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT NOVEMBER 16, 2020 506 CONGRESS AVENUE C.6 - 1 PROPOSAL Paint a mural on the face of the building. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The applicant proposes painting a mural on the face of the building on Congress Avenue. This building was the former Yaring’s Store, but was architecturally modified in 2002 with the installation of additional tall fixed sash windows in the second story and a new steel and glass storefront, so that it may no longer be contributing to the Congress Avenue National Register Historic District. The changes were reviewed and approved by the Commission in 2002. 506 Congress Avenue prior to 2002 remodeling 506 Congress Avenue after renovations The proposed mural is large and colorful with a soccer motif. It was designed by renowned Spanish artist Ruben Sanchez; Here is his website https://www.iamrubensanchez.com C.6 - 2 STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation do not apply to artwork applied to buildings in historic districts, and the Commission has no specific guidelines or standards for proposed artwork. The mural could be removed in the future without damage to the structure. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS C.6 - 3 Not reviewed. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends postponement to resolve outstanding questions and processes relating to this building and proposal. The pre-2002 façade of the Yaring’s Building was not yet 50 years old at the time that the Commission reviewed the modifications to the storefront and upper story, and the Congress Avenue historic district nomination did not call out the building as significant (there were no determinations of contributing or non-contributing structures in that nomination). The question now is whether the building retains sufficient integrity to relate its history so that it would be contributing to the historic district today. This building is between two historic landmarks: the Robinson-Rosner Building at 504 Congress Avenue to the south, and the Scarbrough Building to the north. The Commission should identify and evaluate any concerns about introducing a bold and colorful mural on this building as it potentially affects the context of the two adjacent historic landmark buildings as well as the context of the Congress Avenue Historic District. The applicant should consult with the staff of the Art in Public Places program for their input on this mural before the Commission renders a decision.
November 29, 2020 To the Austin Historic Landmark Commission, Chair and Commissioners: In August of 2020, we contracted to purchase 815 W. 11th Street with the intent of demolishing the structure and rebuilding with a structure that is compatible with the growing area around downtown. The zoning by the City of Austin allows for +/- 4400 SF. If the Code Next were approved, the zoning would allow up to 6600 SF. The zoning is for office use, which is what we intend for the property, consisting of our offices and maybe one other office tenant. Our business is a local consulting firm working 8-5 M-F, comparable to other uses on the street. When we were looking for a home for our office, we wanted to be in the downtown area, following the intent of the City of Austin to be more dense in the downtown area, thus less city sprawl and more accessible to public services and transportation. We put a contract on 815 W. 11th and discussed the need for a demolition permit with the Owner. Vivien agreed to sign applicable paperwork with the city to allow for the demolition permit. That is covered in our contract for purchase. We pursued the demolition permit with the understanding that if we could not obtain the permit, we would not be able to purchase the property. In order to apply for the demo permit, we discovered the city of Austin requires a clean tax certificate prior to placing the item on the HLC agenda. So, we asked for one from the TCAD. We found out that 3 years of taxes had not been paid. We spoke to Vivien about this and she did not have the funds to pay for the taxes. In good faith, we paid the taxes on her behalf so that we could be on the HLC agenda. We were under the impression that Vivien still supported our request for a demo permit. Our first hearing was postponed as staff requested more time to review. Durin the last HLC meeting, we discovered that Vivien submitted a rejection memo to the HLC opposing the demolition. We found this out just before the meeting. The demo permit was placed on Consent Agenda, but with her opposition (and assuming she was the applicant), the HLC pulled the item for discussion and then referred to the case to the ARC. We are …
Historic Design Standards City of Austin Adopted _________ Welcome In Austin, historic preservation encourages the preservation of historic buildings, structures, sites, and districts; promotes awareness of cultural and architectural heritage; and helps shape a more sustainable, equitable, and livable place. As the city grows, these Historic Design Standards will help property owners, designers, builders, and historic preservation professionals make consistent decisions about how to meet present-day needs while stewarding local built heritage and achieving larger goals. Clear standards and graphics show good practices, as well as changes to avoid. The Historic Design Standards were created by a working group representing property owners, designers, developers, advocates, and the Historic Landmark Commission. The working group sought to develop locally relevant standards grounded in national preservation principles. Many members are laypeople, and readability was a key concern: the standards needed to be understandable by property owners and neighbors considering whether to apply for historic district designation, as well as by architects. A Maintenance and Preservation chapter and illustrated glossary support those who want to learn more about architectural elements and materials. The Historic Design Standards promote long-term sustainability by supporting the retention and repair of existing buildings, which keep tons of old-growth wood and other material in use and out of the landfill. They also support sustainable solutions for making buildings more energy efficient now, from high-impact improvements like attic insulation and duct sealing to DIY changes such as weather-stripping around windows and doors. Historic Preservation Office staff are available to answer questions and provide feedback on proposed projects. Reach out to preservation@austintexas.gov or call (512) 974-3393. Left cover image: People looking out over Austin, ca. 1940s Acknowledgments Design Standards Working Group The Historic Landmark Commission created the Design Standards Working Group on September 24, 2018 to create a new set of historic design standards, with the goals of providing clear, user-friendly standards and guidelines for all historic property owners and of simplifying the historic district application process. This document is the product of the working group’s efforts and is modeled on the Preservation Austin design standards template produced through a community initiative in April 2011.

Frequently Asked Questions This FAQ sheet is intended to provide a brief orientation to the Historic Design Standards. Please contact preservation@austintexas.gov if you have further questions or feedback about the standards. 1 Why were the Historic Design Standards developed? Don’t we already have standards for historic properties? districts. They do align with existing district design standards and may be adopted by property owners within each district if desired. The Historic Design Standards were developed to clarify existing standards for historic landmarks and National Register districts, and to make the historic district application process easier and more equitable for new districts. The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation form the foundation of preservation practice in the United States and are used in Austin to evaluate proposed changes to historic landmarks and in National Register district. However, these very general standards can be challenging to interpret when planning and evaluating specific projects. The Historic Design Standards build on them with more specific standards and illustrations of good practices. For new historic districts, community members compiling an application currently must hire a consultant or learn how to develop their own design standards, then go through multiple rounds of review with other property owners and City staff. This adds time and cost to the application process—and results in design standards that are nearly identical to those for other districts. The Historic Design Standards will provide a consistent, predictable set of standards for all areas considering historic district designation. 2 I own a historic landmark. How will the Historic Design Standards affect me? If adopted by City Council, the Historic Design Standards will clarify existing standards for exterior changes to historic landmarks, as well as new construction on landmarked properties. The Historic Design Standards are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation, but are clearer, more specific, and easier to use for planning and evaluating projects. 3 I own a property in a locally designated historic district. How will the Historic Design Standards affect me? The Historic Design Standards will not affect previously agreed-upon design standards for existing historic 4 I own a property in a National Register district. How will the Historic Design Standards affect me? If adopted by City Council, the Historic Design Standards will replace the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation that City staff and the Historic Landmark Commisison use to evaluate National Register district projects. …

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS rafter tails. 1) Demolish existing front porch. Replace with full-width porch with metal roof and exposed 2) Apply mortar wash to existing stone that will leave some stone exposed. 3) 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.

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.
