C.1 - 1 PROPOSAL APPLICATION FOR A PERMIT WITHIN A NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION SIXTH STREET NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 HR-20-107348 319-323 E. 6TH STREET Construct a tall one-story addition to three contributing buildings within the Sixth Street National Register Historic District. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The applicant proposes the construction of a continuous one-story addition across three one- story buildings that would be contributing to the Sixth Street National Register Historic District. The proposed addition will be set back 15 feet back from the front wall of the existing buildings, with an open deck in front. The applicant proposes to remove an existing deck cover from the building, giving the proposed addition a clean look from the street. The existing metal railing on the building will be painted in a muted tone to lessen its visibility. The addition will have painted horizontal lap siding, a wooden cornice treatment that takes its cue from the one-story buildings on the street, aluminum and glass overhead doors; aluminum and glass single leaf doors opening onto the deck will have transoms, keeping the fenestration line even and clean. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are used to evaluate projects in National Register historic districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 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 are three commercial buildings that have become bars and night clubs over the years. The use of the proposed addition is not incompatible with the long-standing use of the ground-floor buildings, and is set back 15 feet from the wall to provide a visual distance between old and new. 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: These three buildings are one-story commercial buildings. The proposed addition is one story with a taller cornice, but the height of the fenestration on the addition comports to the height of the fenestration and storefronts on the ground story. The proposed addition is recessed and fades into the background; it is very compatible with the historic character of the existing building. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0274 815 RUTHERFORD PLACE AND 1204 ALTA VISTA AVENUE D.1 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1930 house at 815 Rutherford Place and a ca. 1948 house at 1204 Alta Vista Avenue. Both houses are on the same lot. ARCHITECTURE The ca. 1930 house at 815 Rutherford Place is a one-story, rectangular-plan, side-gabled, brick veneer Tudor Revival-style house with a central, steep-front-gabled entry bay containing a round-arched door; single and paired 1:1 fenestration. The ca. 1948 house at 1204 Alta Vista Avenue is a one-story, L-plan frame house with a partial-width inset porch. Fenestration consists of single and double 1:1 windows with Colonial Revival-styled 6:6 wooden screens. RESEARCH The house at 815 Rutherford Place was built around 1930 by Fred W. Sassman, the proprietor of a dry-cleaning business who later became a tailor. Fred Sassman and his wife lived in this house until around 1936. The house was vacant for a short period of time before being purchased by attorney John C. Butler and his wife, Ruby. John C. Butler passed away in 1963; Ruby Butler continued to live here after his death (there is a newspaper article dating from 1966 about their son that references this house as their home), but given current limitations on research, it is not possible to determine how much longer Ruby Butler lived in this house. John C. and Ruby Butler built the house at 1204 Alta Vista Avenue on the rear of their lot in 1948, and held it as a rental property. For the first ten years (until about 1958), the house was rented by Clarence and Anna Mae Waters. Clarence Waters was in the food service industry. After returning from duty in World War II, he became a manager of one of Harry Akin’s Night Hawk Restaurants. Immediately after beginning his job with Night Hawk, and before moving into this house, the city directory shows him living at the location of the old Night Hawk at South Congress and Riverside Drive. He and Anna Mae, who worked as a hostess at the Night Hawk, moved into this house, where they lived until around 1958. A newspaper article from 1954 shows Clarence Waters as associated with one of the restaurants in the new Terrace Motor Hotel on South Congress Avenue; by 1957, he was the sales manager for Polar Ice Cream. In …

D.5 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0353 2505 PARK VIEW DRIVE PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1954 house in the Air-Conditioned Village. ARCHITECTURE One-story, side-gabled, Ranch-style house with deep eaves and an extension of the front roofline to constitute a covered walkway from what was the attached carport to the front door. The house has a combination of red brick and wood siding; fenestration consists of aluminum-framed sliding windows with a clerestory pane above; grouped in a triple configuration on the front of the house. The carport has been enclosed with horizontal siding, and contains a paired set of the same windows. The porch has been modified to give the house somewhat of an Arts and Crafts appearance with tapered porch posts and stone piers at the front door. To the left of the front door is a brick-veneered wall that extends almost to the roofline; a narrow band of horizontal wood siding containing a pair of sliding windows tops the brick veneer and wraps around the left side of the house. The house has two rear additions, constructed in 1963 and 1964, the latter providing a mother-in-law apartment on-site. RESEARCH The house at 2505 Park View Drive was the Frigidaire House, designed by Ned A. Cole. S.R. Sheppard was the builder. Frigidaire was one of the air conditioning companies pairing with local homebuilders and the National Association of Home Builders to construct houses to test the cost effectiveness and appeal of central air conditioning in houses priced for middle-class consumers. This house is one of several in the Air-Conditioned Village designed by Ned Cole, a local architect and designer, who was instrumental in attracting the National Association of Home Builders to Austin to build a small neighborhood of modest homes with central air conditioning. The builder was S.R. Sheppard, a local contractor who was interested in energy efficiency and had already constructed a house with wall and attic insulation and air conditioning in a nearby West Austin neighborhood before embarking on this more modest house in the Air-Conditioned Village. Austin’s Air-Conditioned Village was the largest of several experiments throughout the country in the early 1950s to test the feasibility of designing and building homes with central air conditioning for middle class buyers. Up until that time, central air conditioning was generally only offered in more expensive homes, and the need for more homes …
D.6 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0352 2507 PARK VIEW DRIVE PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1954 house in Austin’s Air-Conditioned Village. ARCHITECTURE The house is one-story, designed in the Ranch style with a combination of board-and-batten, and a horizontally-laid random narrow stone course veneer wainscoting across the front of the house; a side-gabled roof with deep eaves shades the structure. Fenestration consists of metal-framed horizontally-sliding window to the right of the single-leaf glazed front door (a modern replacement) and then a series of awning-style wood-frame windows above the stone wainscoting. The house has an attached garage at the far right end of the facade, once an open double carport. RESEARCH This house is the Carrier house, designed by the Carrier Corporation in conjunction with local architect H.D. Powers, and built by local contractor Andrew S. Patton. H.D. Powers had worked for the Federal Housing Administration prior to this job, and designed five houses in the Air-Conditioned Village for various air conditioning manufacturers. All of his houses had masonry veneer exteriors and were built on a slab. Powers and Patton collaborated on a house featured in the 1953 Parade of Homes. Austin’s Air-Conditioned Village was the largest of one of several experiments throughout the country in the early 1950s to test the feasibility of designing and building homes with central air conditioning for the middle class. Up until that time, central air conditioning was something that was only offered in high-end homes, and the need for more homes for returning servicemen spurred an increase in developing technology for new middle-class homeowners. The Air-Conditioned Village in Austin was specifically envisioned as a neighborhood of relatively modest, if technologically-advanced houses, all with a price tag affordable to many middle-class buyers and as a test case for the cost effectiveness for modest homes in a warm and humid climate. Typical of the early purchasers of the houses in the Air-Conditioned Village, the house at 2507 Park View Drive was initially occupied by Cyrus and Dorothy Brown, who only lived here for a short period of time. His occupation was not listed in the Austin city directory, but it appears that Cyrus Brown was a lumberman from Shallowater, near Lubbock. He does not appear in city directories either before or after the edition of 1954, and he died in Vernon, Texas in 1981. His death certificate noted that …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0362 3017 E. 14TH STREET D.7 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1947 house and a ca. 1950 garage. ARCHITECTURE The house is a one-story, rectangular-plan, clipped front gabled stuccoed frame bungalow with a front-gabled independent porch on battered wood posts and stuccoed piers; metal storm louvers cover all the historic fenestration. The garage is a one-story, rectangular plan stuccoed frame garage with additional fenestrated space to the rear. RESEARCH City building permit records show that Walter E. Moore built this house in 1947, although the style of the house appears to be much earlier so it may have been moved on to this site rather than an original build here. Walter E. Moore was a carpenter and builder; his wife, Mattie, was a beauty operator who worked in an African-American beauty shop prior to moving into this house; once here, she opened her own beauty shop, Dutch’s, in the ca. 1950 garage. African-American beauty shops were generally a site for community gathering, and especially in the 1950s, served as natural gathering places for women interested in civil rights. There is no information at this time as to whether Mattie Moore’s Dutch’s Beauty Shop served in any meaningful capacity as a location for discussion and/or action for civil rights during that period, however, undertaking the establishment of a beauty business on a residential property does reflect some of the norms of the time. Rules regarding beauty salons were especially restrictive for many African-American entrepreneurs in Austin. They were generally subject to more frequent and more rigorous inspections to retain their business licenses. One rule required that the beauty salon had to be completely separated from any residential use of the property, thus likely requiring the construction of a the separate garage and shop seen here for Mattie Moore to be able to operate. Construction of a separate shop posed a greater economic investment into the business that many African-American women could not afford. Mattie Moore had worked in an established beauty shop prior to living in this house, and this property reflects the business practices of the day forced upon African- American women. The house is located in McKinley Heights, a mid-twentieth century African-American neighborhood noted for its middle class housing and character. Its location may also be relevant in the interpretation of significance for this property. STAFF COMMENTS The …

B.3 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS HR-2020-125268 602 HIGHLAND AVENUE SMOOT/TERRACE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT PROPOSAL Construct a second-floor rear addition and a detached side carport. ARCHITECTURE One-story, rectangular-plan house with a gable roof, wood cladding, 4-over-1 and 3-over-1 wood-sash windows, and a gable-roofed entry porch with battered piers. The house has a partial-width habitable basement where the grade slopes down from the street. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The second-floor addition is set back 27’ from the front wall of the historic house. The addition has a front-gabled roof covered in metal to match existing, wood cladding to match existing, and casement and fixed clad-wood windows with a 1-over-1 lite pattern with a true muntin. A roof deck set into the south slope of the existing gable roof is set back 7’ from the front wall of the house and features horizontal steel railings. A steel staircase is proposed to replace an existing wood staircase at the rear of the building. A detached steel-framed carport with a steel shade structure is also proposed. The carport will be located next to the south wall of the house and protrude just past the front 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: Additions to Contributing Buildings 1. New additions should be compatible with the historic building by reflecting the scale, massing, and/or materials of the historic building, but differentiated enough so that they are not confused as historic or original to the building. The addition is clad in matching wood siding and has clad-wood windows with similar dimensions and lite configurations as the historic windows. The casement windows and roof deck differentiate the addition from the historic house. The project meets this standard. 3. Design new additions that are subordinate to and do not overpower the historic building. The addition is minimally visible and subordinate to the historic building. It meets this standard. 4. Construct additions that avoid the removal or obstruction of any historic exterior features on the front of the building or the sides within 15 feet of the front. The addition does not entail the removal or obstruction of historic exterior features within 15 feet of the front wall. It meets this standard. New Construction 1. New construction shall have the same street …

ARCHITECTURE 1-story, rectangular-plan house capped by a combination hipped and gabled roof and clad in brick. Features include 1-over-1 wood-sash windows and an exterior brick chimney. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The proposed project includes six parts: 1) Remove brick and stone knee walls at the uncovered entry porch and construct a new covered front porch. The new porch features arched brick openings, a gabled roof, and stucco cladding. 2) Construct a second-floor addition set back approximately 12’ from the front wall of the house. The addition is clad in lap cementitious siding and features a hipped roof, an eyebrow dormer clad in stucco, and fixed and casement windows; the sash material is yet to be determined. 3) Cover the brick chimney with stucco and alter its form. 4) Alter most window openings. 5) Replace all windows with fixed and casement windows, sash material to be determined. 6) Construct a 1-story rear addition 7) Demolish a detached garage. The garage is capped with a hipped roof and clad in wood siding, and features at least one 6-over-6 wood sash window and paired wood garage doors. 8) Construct a 2-story accessory dwelling unit (ADU).

Features include casement and other windows, some arched; a fully glazed door; and a corner entry porch with a Classical Revival-style column. 9) Construct a wood deck and trellis between the principal building and new ADU. RESEARCH The property was occupied by a series of short-term renters, some of whom were prominent in the city, state, and country. Walter S. Adkins (occupant ca. 1932-35) was a nationally known geologist who worked at UT’s Bureau of Economic Geology. Ralph Yarborough served as a state district judge when he lived in the property (1937). He was elected a U.S. senator in 1957, where he broke with other Southern legislators to champion progressive causes. Stuart S. and Matilda Dabaghi Nemir lived in the property in 1941, before moving into their longtime home next door. According to neighbors, the Nemirs owned a dry goods store on Guadalupe Street before purchasing then-decade-old …
