HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION OCTOBER 26, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS GF-20-140200 4509 BALCONES DRIVE D.7 - 1 PROPOSAL Construct an addition to a ca. 1959 residence. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Partially demolish exterior at north side of house. 2) Construct a single-story addition. The proposed addition features a flat roof, stone veneer and horizontal wood siding, a flat roof with exposed rafter tails, fixed and casement windows, and sliding glass doors. 3) Add casement and fixed windows at the west and north elevations. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Split-level house with horizontal and vertical wood siding; fixed and sliding undivided full- height and ribbon windows; a cross-gabled roof with gable-end detailing, exposed rafter tails, deep eaves, and triangular brackets; and Japanese-inspired decorative wood details at railings, roofline, and fenestration. The site is terraced with masonry retaining walls that follow the contours of its topography, softening the transition between house and landscape. The building at 4509 Balcones Drive was constructed in 1959 by architect David C. Graeber as his personal dwelling. Graeber, who moved to Austin to attend the University of Texas School of Architecture after building homes with his father’s lumber business in San Antonio, joined Kuhne, Brooks, and Barr in 1957. He became a firm partner in 1961. When the firm began consulting for the University of Texas in 1962, Graeber led the design teams for all new UT buildings for the next four years. He established Graeber, Simmons, and Cowan in 1978. Notable projects throughout Graeber’s career include the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library, the All Faiths Chapel of the Austin State Supported Living Center, the Johnson Space Center in Houston, the U.S. Consulate in Mexico City, numerous high-tech firms in Austin, and pro-bono work at the Paramount Theater, the Long Center, and the Austin Convention Center. Graeber also participated enthusiastically in the revitalization of Austin’s downtown. Through a philosophy of “continuity, not conflict,” (Austin-American Statesman, 1965) he championed urban living and moved his family to Sixth Street in 1967, restoring and landmarking a nineteenth-century stone building where he lived for the next forty years. Since then, his vision of a skyscraper-filled residential downtown has come to fruition. He served on the boards of the Texas Society of Architects, Old Pecan Street Association, and other civic-minded planning and architecture organizations. In 1969, he chaired the Governor’s Conference on Urban Affairs, and later initiated Austin’s street tree planting program along Congress Avenue. STAFF …

D.8 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION OCTOBER 26, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS GF-20-146072 1601 WILLOW STREET PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Partially demolish a ca. 1912 house and construct a new addition. 1) Demolish two-story portion of house. 2) Construct a two-story addition. The proposed addition includes a side gable set atop the existing roof, immediately behind the hipped ridgeline and intersected by a south (rear)-facing cross gable with exposed rafter tails. It is clad in horizontal wood siding to match existing and features double-hung 1:1 mulled and single windows with wood trim to match existing. The existing wraparound porch is extended to the east and south elevations, with all wood details to match existing. The roof is clad in composite shingles to match existing. 3) Add a masonry chimney to rear elevation. 4) Repaint existing siding, trim, railings, doors, and windows. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH The 2-story house is clad in horizontal wood siding and has 1:1 mulled and single wood windows. Its compound gabled and hipped roof is clad in composition shingles and features exposed rafter tails. Its first-floor wraparound porch is supported by Classical columns. The building at 1601 Willow Street was constructed between 1910 and 1912. The Thomson family, its first occupants, rented the home until James Thomson’s death in 1914; his widow remained in the home for at least another two years. A series of short-term renters lived in the house until 1924, when Leonard and Helen Gillaspy purchased it. It is likely that the Gillaspy family added the two-story portion of the house to accommodate renters, who appear in Austin directories in 1935. Leonard Gillaspy, a postal worker, passed away in 1938. His wife, Helen, married Uel V. Ives, a WWI veteran and American Legion luminary, by 1947; the couple lived in the home until the 1950s. Their daughter Helen and her husband Robert Primose lived with them after Robert returned from service in WWII until at least 1952. After a decade of short-term renters, the home was purchased by Augustin and Reyes Castillo in 1964. Augustin Castillo, a quarry worker, passed away in 1969; Reyes Castillo, a waitress, continued to live in the house until her death in 2017. She raised 11 children there, and her porch became a neighborhood nexus. In a 2016 Austin American-Statesman article, Michael Barnes asked Castillos’s sons what it was like to grow up in the house: “Mama’s house, because of …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION OCTOBER 26, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0384 906 E. 13TH STREET D.9 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a one-story house. ARCHITECTURE One-story building with compound hipped and gabled roof and covered entryway. Clad in horizontal wood siding and stone veneer, the house has aluminum windows with iron grilles and a partial width covered porch shaded by a metal awning. A similar awning covers the house’s large picture window. RESEARCH 906 East 13th Street was constructed in 1949 for Boston P. Grant, III and his family. Grant, an Austin native and longtime Texas educator, had just returned from a stint in San Marcos as principal of the Negro school there. As a former mathematics professor at Samuel Huston College and a former department head at Anderson High School, Grant was already well-established in Austin’s educational community prior to his return to Anderson as counselor in 1947. As one of the first certified school counselors in Texas, Grant pioneered career training programs, testing reform, and vocational mentoring at Anderson. He advocated for testing strategies that were tailored to his African American students, understanding that their educational and vocational needs were uniquely challenging in segregation-era Texas. Above all, Grant encouraged educators and counselors to listen and learn from their pupils, and to foster an environment in which young people could speak freely about their feelings as they looked toward the future. Grant’s daughter, Deloria H. Grant, took possession of the home after his death in 1980. Grant, a Samuel Huston alumnus like her father, became a licensed vocational nurse who cared for some of Austin’s most prominent families. Deloria H. Grant passed away in July of 2020. STAFF COMMENTS Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate integrity. 3) Properties must meet two historic designation criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2- 352). The property may demonstrate significance according to City Code: a) Architecture. The house is constructed with Minimal Traditional influences. b) Historical association. The house is associated with educator Boston P. Grant, III. 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 …

At this date, The Neighborhood Association OPPOSES this permit, as it is not in the style of our National Heritage District and greatly contrasts with adjacent homes. (By way of information, our Neighborhood Association only votes to “oppose” or “not oppose;” we do not “support.”) To their credit, the architect did agree to repurpose the stone siding of the existing house and use it as the base of the wall along Jefferson St., as well as preserve the 1930’s stone boundary marker on the SW corner of that lot.

We have spoken with a few neighbors since the last meeting. What the neighbors seem to ignore is the fact that we are a local small business owners, mother and a son, and this is our livelihood. We are not big national builders, nor have a large pool of investor’s money backing us. We live in this neighborhood, work here, give what we can here. We too are mindful of our community. We took out bank loans to purchase the property, construction loan to build a new house. We feel we have the same right and freedom to build the house we want abiding the city codes. If the neighbors feel strongly about keeping the houses as they are as rentals they had the same opportunity to purchase the property when it was on the market as we had. We are not in a financial position to be a landlord at this time. This is our only project underway carrying us to next year. We have already spent in excess of $50,000 on architects, engineering, and city permit agency. We even asked architects to come up with the design that would blend well with the characteristics of the neighborhood which they did. This delay puts us in a financial hardship. Please consider our situation. Thank you for your time. Younghee Kim Sent from my iPad 1

Just to summarize, I'm a long‐time resident of Fairview Park and a volunteer with the SRCC's Preservation Committee, but I am writing as a resident, rather than as a representative of that group. You may also remember that I was part of the group which organized the creation of our National Register Historic District. I appreciate the postponement given this case last month and hope we can still find a way to save some of our neighborhood's historic character. I stand by all the pleas I made in my last letter on these proposed demolitions. Both the Tudor house on Rutherford and the Minimal Traditional house on Alta Vista are contributing properties to our historic district. While they are in poor condition now, I believe they definitely could be saved, and very cleverly remodeled. Leaving them as separate properties and remodeling or restoring them could also create an opportunity for rental income, which could offer the owner tax credits for rehabilitation. While the loss of a piece of our neighborhood's story and architectural history is my primary objection to demolition, I feel the owner's proposed design looms over the streetscape. I have not heard if they have altered their plans since the last meeting, but I sincerely hope that they could be encouraged to save the Rutherford House‐‐at the very least! That alone could help retain some of the historic character at this entry point to our district. Of course, my ideal outcome would be saving both. Thank you for doing what you can to help us preserve our neighborhood's history.

AG Ashley Gottshalk Design October 22, 2020 Re: Demolition and Relocation Permits Dear Historic Landmark Commission, The house on the site of 2617 E 4th St is without architectural or historical significance. It had no appraised value upon recent purchase and its condition is unlivable and necessitates significant, costly repairs and renovation to meet current standards. Additionally, if kept, the house’s location and orientation make further development and optimization of the site challenging. Mr. Pollard hired me to design two homes for the property, of architecture similar to other recent contemporary new builds in the Holly neighborhood. You’ll find renderings of our intent included. His plans are sure to increase the value of the immediate property and surrounding area. Thank you, Ashley Gottshalk, AIA, WELL AP Architect Licensed in the States of Florida and Texas Dear Historic Landmark Commission, My name is Mitch Flax and I own 3 properties (2615, 2702 and 2704 E 4th St) adjacent to the proposed house demolition at 2617 E 4th street. My wife and I have lived on East 4th Street for 7 years and have seen a number of demolitions and new builds which have helped to revitalize the Holly neighborhood. However, there continue to be a number of dilapidated structures (including 2617 E 4th Street) within the area that we would love to see removed. After having met Alex, we were able to view his site plans and fully support the demolition of the current structure at 2617 E 4th street in order to continue to revitalize our beautiful Holly neighborhood.
