PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH STAFF COMMENTS The primary building is a one-story side-gabled house with horizontal siding, attached carport, and 1:1 screened wood windows. The secondary building is a one-story side-gabled accessory dwelling with stucco cladding and 1:1 replacement windows. The buildings at 1003 Maufrais Street were constructed in 1947 and 1951 for Paul and Geneva Bennight. Paul Bennight worked as an assistant claims supervisor, personnel management assistant, and general supervisor for Austin Transit. Geneva Bennight worked as a secretary and clerk for Payne and Wiley and the Texas Highway Department, where their daughter Peggy also found a job. During the 1950s, the Bennights leased the rear structure on the lot to tenants. By the late 1950s, both buildings housed renters, including a clerk and a UT student. Both buildings on the property contribute to the West Line National Register Historic District. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The buildings are more than 50 years old. 2) The buildings appear to retain moderate integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The buildings do not appear to convey architectural significance. b. Historical association. The property does not appear to have significant historical associations. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d. Community value.

PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH STAFF COMMENTS One-story cross-gabled Craftsman bungalow clad in horizontal wood siding, with 1:1 wood windows covered by 6:1 wood screens and a partial-width porch supported by masonry piers and tapered wood box columns. Decorative details include exposed rafters, triangular knee braces, and jigsawn bargeboards. A flat-roofed, asbestos-shingle-clad addition extends to the rear of the original building. The house at 907 W 22nd ½ Street was built in 1926 for Percy A. McDannell and his family. McDannell, an adjuster for the State Board of Industrial Accidents, lived there for about ten years with his mother and daughter. By 1937, the home had become a rental property; notable renters included Grady Faubion, treasurer of the Lower Colorado River Authority, and his wife and son. By 1952, the home had been sold to Henry H. and Alma Hunt. Henry H. Hunt worked as an assistant auditor at the State Employment Commission. Alma Hunt lived in the home until at least 1959. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old 2) The building retains high material and design integrity but has lost its integrity of setting. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it does not meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building is a good example of the Craftsman style. b. Historical association. The building does not appear to have significant historical associations, though its occupancy history exhibits typical development and settlement patterns of the middle class in early twentieth- century Austin. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential to yield significant data concerning the human history or prehistory of the region. d. Community value. The property 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 particular demographic group. e. Landscape feature. The property is not a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, aesthetic, cultural, or historical value to the city.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS APRIL 26, 2021 GF-2021-050281 905 EAST 2ND STREET D.12 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Partially demolish and construct a two-story rear and side addition to a one-story ca. 1906 house. 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 jigsawn brackets; and 2:2 wood windows with screens. The house at 905 E. 2nd Street was constructed around 1906. Its earliest occupants were renters, who mostly worked at the nearby railyards and stayed in the home for relatively short periods, often sharing the building with another family. Other occupants included clerks, drivers, carpenters, and telephone company employees. In the late 1920s, the home was occupied by the Rollings family. William Rollings worked at the City Water and Light Department. His wife Bertha worked as a finisher at the Austin Hotel’s laundry, and some of the Rollings daughters also worked as laundresses and hotel laundry staff along with their mother. Their sons worked as a truck driver and a chauffeur. Other longer-term renters included Levi and Mary Van Sickle, an engineer and his eventual widow, and Milton B. Ayers and his wife and son. Ayers was an elevator operator, while his son worked as a machinist and carpenter. Paul and Alma Fick, a cigar company employee and clerk, lived in the house in the late 1950s along with their son, Paul Jr., who also found a job at Eli Witt Cigars. By 1959, butcher Tom Resendez and his wife Mary were the home’s primary residents; they remained there until at least 1968. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects at potential historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1.1 Locate additions to the rear and sides of historic buildings to minimize visual impact. 1.3 If an addition adds a story to the historic building, set it back from the front wall to minimize visual impact. a. If the historic building has a side-gabled, cross-gabled, hipped, or pyramidal roof form, set the addition behind the roof ridgeline or peak. 1.5 Minimize the loss of historic fabric by connecting additions to the existing building through the least possible invasive location and means. Recommendation: Locate additions behind the rear wall of the …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS APRIL 26, 2021 PR-2020-192534 503 E. ANNIE STREET D.2 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1931 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story, rectangular-plan, side-gabled frame house with a central, front-gabled entry bay; paired 1:1 fenestration on the main elevation; single and paired 1:1 fenestration elsewhere; standing seam metal roof. The house appears to have been built in 1931, based upon city directory records and a sewer service permit issued for this address. The first owner and occupant was Elmer D. Wiginton, who may have moved in here as early as 1931 with a wife named Patricia (who only shows up in the 1932-33 city directory), or with his wife Lillian who appears in all later city directories; they married in April of 1932. Elmer D. Wiginton was an accountant for the City Auditing Department; he and Lillian lived here until 1940, when the moved to a house on Bonnieview in Fairview Park. The next owners and occupants, who lived here from around 1948 until at least 1974, were Tom B. and Rena Woodland. Tom B. Woodland was a retired farmer from Concho County, Texas; while living in Austin, he worked as a watchman. Rena Woodland was a saleslady in various hardware stores, including Woodland Hardware on South Congress Avenue, operated by Webb and David C. Woodland, Jr., possible relatives. STAFF COMMENTS The house is listed as contributing to the pending Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register District. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain a moderate to high degree of integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated this house for designation as a historic landmark and has determined that the house, while clearly contributing to the pending historic district, does not meet the criteria for landmark designation as set forth in City Code: a. Architecture. The house is a ca. 1931 Craftsman cottage, typical of many in the neighborhood, and characterizing a large number of middle-class residences in Travis Heights. This house does not reflect the architectural distinction necessary for qualification as a historic landmark under this criterion. b. Historical association. The house was first owned by an accountant for the city, and then by a retired farmer and his wife, who worked as a saleslady in a hardware store. There do not appear to be significant …

ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story bungalow with horizontal wood siding, hipped roof with clipped gable at façade, partial-width porch, and attached carport. Fenestration includes paired 1:1 windows and replacement picture window. The house at 1308 Travis Heights Boulevard was built around 1922 by Woodhull T. and Thelma Lehmann. The Lehmanns did not stay in the house long; by 1927 they had sold the property to the Maloy family, its longest-term residents. James J. Maloy worked as a hardware clerk at the Walter Tips Company. Mary Maloy was an active leader in charity work for St. Ignatius Catholic Church. She helped to found the Home of the Holy Infancy, a charity for dependent infants at Seton Hospital, and served as its president. After Mary Maloy’s death in 1944, her son, James H. Maloy, and his wife, Edna, occupied the home. Upon returning from Europe as a veteran of World War II, Maloy worked as a projectionist for various schools and theaters. Maloy was an active union member and volunteered as a film educator.

Kofahl was an active member of the German Lutheran church, serving as one of the first elders of St. Martin’s Evangelical Lutheran Church; the organization’s first building of worship was constructed in 1885 on land donated by Christian Kofahl. Kofahl died in 1930, and his family vacated the home. From 1932 into the 1940s, the property became primarily a rental house, with short-term residents including electricians, mechanics, salesmen, and bookkeepers. During the 1940s, it was occupied by a serviceman, a firefighter, and a driver and their families. By 1954, Otis Roe lived in the home and operated his service station across the street at 2027 East Cesar Chavez Street. In 1957, Albert G. and Zelma Gonzales purchased the house; they sold it two years later to Rosa M. Gillian. STAFF COMMENTS The 2016 East Austin historic resource survey lists the property as eligible for local landmark designation and individual listing on the National Register of Historic Places, as well as contributing to a potential local historic district and contributing to a potential National Register Historic District. The survey lists architecture and historical associations as qualifying NRHP criteria. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high to moderate integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352). Staff has evaluated the property and determined that it may meet two criteria: a. Architecture. The building is constructed in the National Folk style. b. Historical association. The East Austin survey identifies the property’s occupancy history as an example of demographic changes and settlement patterns among working- to middle-class renters in East Austin during the twentieth century. c. Archaeology. The property was not evaluated for its potential …

The house at 1807 Brackenridge Street, constructed around 1910, served primarily as a rental property throughout the first half of the twentieth century. Its first resident was carpenter Ransom J. Brooks. Most occupants lived there short term; produce salesman Benjamin Forrest Wright, who resided there from 1912 to 1916, was a longer-term renter. Other renters included farmers, salespeople, teachers, and telephone and electric company employees. The house is listed as a contributing resource to the pending Travis Heights-Fairview National Register Historic District.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS APRIL 26, 2021 HR-2021-039343 SMOOT/TERRACE PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 612 HIGHLAND AVENUE B.5 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct a 1-story house with a lower level and partial basement; renovate the existing garage. The proposed project is a 1-story house clad in stucco and capped by a combination hipped and flat roof covered in standing- seam metal. Features include a shed-roofed front dormer, full-height fixed and casement steel-sash windows, a fully glazed steel-frame front door, and a stucco chimney. Concrete steps provide access to a full-width, 11’ deep front porch with a low brick wall, steel railing with metal mesh panel, and flat metal roof with wood soffit. A screened porch on the south is capped by a low-pitched roof and set back 51’ from the front wall. A lower-level opening to the rear of the property is minimally visible from the street. An existing detached garage is proposed to be renovated. Changes include replacement of horizontal wood siding with board and batten hardiplank siding, replacement of the garage doors, and in-kind replacement of the roof covering. The garage is accessed by the rear alley and not visible from Highland Avenue. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Smoot/Terrace Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1. New construction shall have the same street orientation and distance from adjacent buildings as the contributing buildings in the same block. The building sits on the previous historic building’s footprint (destroyed by fire), with the same orientation and distance as contributing buildings on the block. The project meets this standard. 2. Setbacks for new construction shall be consistent with setbacks of the district’s contributing houses. The building’s setback aligns with the adjacent contributing building on the south. The project meets this standard. 4. Design new buildings so that they are compatible with, but differentiated from, historic buildings in the district. The building’s scale and massing are compatible with nearby historic buildings. Elements such as the hipped roof form, dormer window, and full-width front porch present a modern take on historic architecture found elsewhere in the district. The triple banks of windows on the front wall and in the dormer reference window patterns in nearby historic buildings, with more vertical proportions that are compatible with the modern style and steeper roof pitch. However, a few elements do not appear to …

Dear Historic Landmark Commission, My name is Connie Kirk and I am the next door neighbor to 1910 Maple Ave. My family’s home is 1908 Maple Ave. I have been a long time resident of the area and was friends with the original owner, Mabel Jones. The informal history is that the house was sold by Mabel’s granddaughter to a development company based in San Antonio. These developers treated the property poorly. They damaged the roof, tore out sheetrocks, leveled the home, replaced the windows with ill-fitting vinyl, etc. They hired unlicensed contractors from San Antonio. I filed several complaints against them with the City Code Inspectors and the Police. I am glad the home has been purchased by a family who will be moving into it rather than flippers. I support Ryan and Nicole’s remodel and appreciate that they are committed to restoring the mid-century character in-line with the historic district standards. Sincerely, Connie Kirk

ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH 1201 Enfield was constructed as a 3-unit apartment building around 1937 by May Robinson. The longest-term occupant of the building was Marie Quinley Chambers, who lived there with her daughter from around 1941 until at least 1954. During that time, the family shared the building with a rotation of two or three other households—Army personnel and, later, UT students—and constructed an addition to the garage for servants’ quarters. Marie Chambers was born in 1893 in Mississippi to a railroad train dispatcher and a homemaker, one of six children. At age 16, Marie was working as a stenographer in the timber industry and living with her parents and siblings. She married native Tennessean Landon B. Chambers between 1910 and 1917. The family lived in Hickory Ridge, Arkansas, in 1920. By 1930, they were renting a home in Monroe, Louisiana, with their three children. Landon died in 1937 at age 43, and the family moved to Austin by 1940. During her tenure at 1201 Enfield, Chambers worked at the State Board of Insurance Commissioners in various roles, including deputy director over the Life Insurance Division and director of agents’ licenses. Marie Chambers died in 1981 in Louisiana. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects in National Register districts. …

OWANA Old West Austin Neighborhood Association PO Box 2724 Austin, TX 78768 April 23, 2021 Chair & Commissioners Historic Landmark Commission City of Austin Dear Commissioners, OWANA’s zoning committee met with the architects on this project and we voted to oppose it for the following reasons: - Demolition of a contributing structure to our National Historic Register - Design of building does NOT fit with the neighborhood - This type of structure does not belong on this site and location on corner of Windsor and HR-21-043627 1201 Enfield Road Enfield increases likelihood of additional accidents involving pedestrians and cars - Lack of vegetation and trees in front of building adds to the starkness of the building - The placement of the box like structure at the front of the property on such a large lot with its beautiful trees is not a creative and well thought out plan. A better plan would have allowed the structure(s) to better fit the lot and blend in. Thank you for your attention to this project Sincerely yours, Rosemary Merriam Chair, OWANA Zoning Committee
