HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APRIL 27, 2020 PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NRD-2020-0005 2902 OAKMONT BOULEVARD OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT C.2 - 1 PROPOSAL Construct a carport and rear addition to a ca. 1952 house. ARCHITECTURE 1½-story, side-gabled, rectangular-plan house clad in stucco with wood siding in the gable ends. Features include multi-lite vinyl-sash windows, a shed-roofed entry porch, and triple gable dormers with arched windows. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The project has two parts: 1) Construct a hip-roofed carport attached to the south wall and supported by turned wood posts. The carport will be set back 13’ from the front wall of the house; and 2) Construct a one-story rear addition with a footprint of 614 square feet. The addition will be capped with a gable roof, clad in horizontal siding to match existing, and have fixed, casement, and 1:1 wood-sash windows. A gable-roofed entry porch supported by turned posts will be attached to the south wall. RESEARCH The house was constructed by W. B. Houston and occupied by a series of short-term renters, with none remaining for more than five years. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The house is a contributing property in the Old West Austin National Register Historic District. It does not appear to meet the standards for designation as a historic landmark. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building retains a moderate degree of integrity. 3) Properties must meet at least two historic designation criteria for landmark designation (City of Austin Land Development Code Section 25-2-352). The property does not appear to be significant under any criteria. a. Architecture. The building does not appear to be architecturally significant. b. Historical association. A series of short-term renters occupied the house during the historic period. There do not appear to be 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. The property does not appear to possess a unique location, physical characteristic, or significant feature that contributes to the character, image, or cultural identity of the community, Austin, or Texas as a whole. 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 APRIL 27, 2020 NRD-2020-0006 1517 MURRAY LANE C.3 - 1 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT PROPOSAL Construct a two-story rear addition to a contributing house; replace front porch columns, roof shingles, door, and windows; and cover existing siding with new siding. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Replace wood porch columns with columns of a more modern design. 2) Cover existing wood siding with new shiplap and paint. 3) Replace green scalloped roof shingles with gray shingles of unspecified new shape/profile. 4) Construct a new two-story addition to the rear of the house. The addition will be set back beyond the ridge line. It will be clad in aluminum siding with fixed single-pane glass windows. The proposed addition will have a flat roof and roof deck, with minimal fenestration on the east and west sides and a rear elevation with full-height glass windows. A covered carport connects the first-floor garage to the proposed living space. 5) Replace door and windows at main elevation. 6) Remove sconces at main elevation. 7) Remove door trim at main elevation. RESEARCH The house at 1517 Murray Lane was constructed in 1927-28 by William H. and Delle M. Morley. Morley was the son of W.J. Morley, proprietor of Morley Brothers Druggists, the oldest continuously-operating pharmacy and wholesale drug manufacturer in Austin at the time. W.J. Morley and his brother famously employed author Sidney Porter (pseudonym O. Henry), in the latter half of the 19th century. The Morley Brothers Building at 209 East 6th Street is a City of Austin Landmark. S.K. Morley’s house at 510 Baylor Street is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is also an Austin landmark. S.K. Morley, William H. Morley’s uncle, does not appear to be associated with the Morley drug manufacturing business after the sale of the 6th Street drugstore in the early 1930s. However, William H. Morley continued to run the drug manufacturing and wholesale business from his home at 1517 Murray Lane. Morley’s products were sold under multiple manufacturer names, including Cactus Line Products, Morley Drug Company, and W.H. Morley Wholesale. After his death in 1948, William Morley’s widow Delle Mayne Morley continued to live in the home, adding on to the main structure and renting out the former manufacturing facility to tenants. Delle Morley sold the house in 1961, and it was occupied by a series of short-term owners and renters until …

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish existing 1-story rear additions; replace with new 1-story addition and attached garage. The addition’s wing and garage will have a low-slope membrane roof, while its western gable will have a composition shingle roof with exposed rafter tails. The proposed new addition is clad in fiber cement lap siding with a parged foundation and stepped frieze board. Window types include 6:6 double-hung, multi-lite fixed, and 6- and 12-lite casement. 2) Demolish and replace existing front porch flatwork. 3) Widen and rebuild first-floor bay window. 4) Add new 4:4 double-hung window at west elevation. 5) Replace second-floor wood siding with fiber cement lap siding to match addition. 6) Replace composition shingle roof. 7) Restore and repaint wood trim, windows, doors, and shutters at main façade. 8) Build new detached greenhouse. The green house will be clad in fiber cement lap siding to match addition. It is capped with a gabled standing-seam metal roof atop exposed rafter tails. Decorative trim includes a frieze board and wraparound sill. It features casement windows at the north and east elevations and steel French doors at the south. RESEARCH The house at 1616 Northumberland Road was constructed in 1940 for Francis J. and Jane Johson Amsler. Francis Amsler was employed by the E.M. Scarbrough Company for almost 50 years, beginning his career as a teenager in 1923 before advancing to credit manager, treasurer, and vice-president of the company. Amsler was active in Austin’s business and retail community throughout his long career, serving as head of the Better Business Bureau, president of the Texas State Retail Merchants’ Association, chairman of the Austin Advertising Review Board, chairman of Downtown Austin Unlimited, and president of the Retail Credit Executives of Texas. The Amslers contributed to Austin in other ways as well; Jane Amsler was active in the Red Cross and Francis Amsler served the Austin Community War Chest, Child and Family Services, and the United Fund. The Amslers lived at 1616 Northumberland until at least 1974. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are used to evaluate new construction projects in National Register historic districts. Applicable standards include: 2. The historic character of a property shall be …

ARCHITECTURE 2-story irregular-plan house clad in masonry and lap siding. Features include 6-over-6 wood-sash and casement vinyl-sash windows, a masonry chimney, and a covered porch and 2-story attached garage at the rear, facing Stark Place. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The project has four parts: 1) Replace all windows with 6-over-6 clad-wood windows; 2) Enlarge and replace the front entrance from a single door with sidelights to paired multi-lite clad-wood doors; 3) Replace two garage doors with one double-with roll-up paneled metal garage door; 4) On the north (rear) wall, remove covered exterior stairs and a small attached closet and RESEARCH at the ground floor. The house was constructed around 1937 by James G. and Ethel Umstattd, who lived there at least until 1970 with an interruption around 1949. In 1952 and 1959, the Umstattds shared the building with a renter in a rear unit. Dr. James Greenleaf Umstattd was born in 1896 in Missouri. After finishing high school, James taught at a local school while he earned a B.S. in education from Northeast Missouri State Teachers College. He enrolled in the U.S. Navy during World War I. Afterwards, he worked as a high school teacher and supervisor in West Virginia, while earning his master’s degree from the University of Missouri. He received a doctorate from the University of Minnesota, then moved to Detroit to teach at Wayne State University. In 1938, Greenleaf moved to Austin to teach in the University of Texas’s School of Education, where he remained until 1972. During World War II, he took a one-year break to teach at Biarritz American University in France, returning to the U.S. in 1946. During his time at UT, Umstattd published at least five books and received a teaching excellence award from the UT Students’ Association (1963). James Umstaddt died in Austin in 1988. Martha Ethel McNutt Umstattd was born around 1896 in Kentucky. She married James Umstaddt in 1918; the couple had two sons. She was active in the Delta Gamma sorority alumni chapter, the University Ladies Club, and the Austin Woman’s Club. Martha Umstattd died in Austin in 1970. C.6 - 2 STANDARDS FOR …

C.7 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS APRIL 27, 2020 NRD-2020-0019 613 WEST LYNN STREET WEST LINE NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT PROPOSAL Construct a 2-story addition to a 2-story house. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Remove deck and demolish rear wall. 2) Demolish shed. 3) Construct a 2-story rear addition. The proposed addition is clad in wood siding that mirrors the existing in orientation, material, and profile. All trim and windows, including the 9:1 screens, will match the historic building’s. The roof slope, metal finish, rear clipped gable, exposed rafter tails, and brackets at soffit will match the existing roof and decorative elements as well. RESEARCH The house was built between 1922 and 1924 by carpenter and contractor Carl Quick and his wife Dora. The Quick family lived there until 1937; they may have been acquainted with its new occupants, Eugene and Mary Bybee. Eugene Bybee, called Gene, owned a business selling coin- operated vending and slot machines at 209 Congress Avenue. After the Bybees moved, the home’s residents included various short-term renters. Among these were service station employees, a meter reader, and a clerk. During the 1950s, insurance agent Wilford Chapman and his wife Margaret occupied the home. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation are used to evaluate new construction projects in National Register historic districts. Applicable standards include: 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. The proposed addition does not compromise the building’s character-defining features, spaces, or materials. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment. The proposed modifications remove minimal historic fabric from the rear of the building. New work is not visible from the street and is compatible with the massing, size, scale, and features of the historic building; however, the proposed addition may not be adequately differentiated from the existing. It may be appropriate to incorporate subtle design changes that distinguish new and old material, such as removing period-style decorative elements from the rear elevation or adding vertical trim between the addition …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS APRIL 27, 2020 612 EAST 6TH STREET C.8 - 1 SIXTH STREET NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT PROPOSAL Install a blade sign on a building located in the Sixth Street National Register Historic District. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The proposed design features a projecting 3’-diameter circular aluminum cabinet, mounted to the building with aluminum brackets. The sign’s logo is made of flat white aluminum, illuminated with “faux neon” LED lighting. Routed letters below the logo are backed with white acrylic and lit by internal LEDs. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW The Historic Landmark Commission applies the following standards when reviewing sign applications within National Register historic districts: Number of Signs: The Commission allows one sign per building, unless the building has multiple tenants; in this case, the Commission may allow one sign per façade module, if the façade modules correspond to tenant spaces. The Commission may also allow one sign for each street frontage if the building is at an intersection. A single directory sign is appropriate for a large building with multiple tenants. The proposed blade sign is the second sign advertising this second-floor tenant. The tenant’s previous flush-mounted sign was approved upon the condition that the applicant redesign the sign’s lighting and reduce its size. The proposed sign would be the fourth on the building. The existing first-floor tenant’s blade sign and flush-mounted sign were installed around 2016 without review by the Historic Preservation Office or Historic Landmark Commission. Sign Types: The Commission may allow window signs, awning signs, projecting signs, and flush mounted signs for most commercial buildings. The proposal is for a projecting sign. Sign Size: The maximum size for signs depends on the sign type. Projecting (blade) signs: 6 square feet. The proposed circular sign measures 3 feet in diameter. Its area is approximately 7.07 ft2. Sign Design, Coloring and Materials: Use simple shapes, such as rectangular or oval signs. The Commission recommends painted wood or metal signs with matte finishes for all signs; plastic, reflective materials, and unfinished surfaces are not allowed. Limit the colors used in a sign to no more than three. For sites with multiple signs, all signs should have corresponding or matching designs, coloring and materials. Signs should match or complement the existing color scheme of the building to the maximum extent feasible. Lettering: No more than two typefaces are allowed. Avoid lettering which appears too …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION MARCH 23, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0045 1001 LOTT AVENUE D.1 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1975 church building. ARCHITECTURE One-story rectangular-plan church building with asymmetrical gabled roof and gabled portico. The building is clad in horizontal wood siding and brick, and features a breezeway supported by squared wood posts at the north elevation. Fenestration at the north and south walls consists of regularly-spaced aluminum windows, covered by decorative iron bars. RESEARCH The building at the corner of Lott Avenue and Prock Lane was constructed around 1975 for the Iglesia Apostolica congregation, and was later known as the Templo Maranatha. There few extant permits or biographical records for the church, though aerials and streetscape photos show several modifications from the original rectangular plan and signage suggests at least one name change. Between the 1970s and 1990s the breezeway and roof extension were added, and a series of sheds were constructed to the rear of the building. Repairs and remodels took place during the 2010s, including removal of latticework from the breezeway, deconstruction of a plywood rear addition and shed, and removal of the steeple. STAFF COMMENTS Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is under 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 does not appear to demonstrate significance according to City Code: a) Architecture. The building does not appear to convey architectural significance. b) Historical association. There do not appear to be significant historical associations. 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 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. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Encourage rehabilitation and adaptive re-use, then release the permit.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION MARCH 23, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0067 3503 E. 17TH STREET D.2 - 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Demolish a ca.1965 church building, converted to a single-family residence in 2005. One-story rectangular-plan church building with gabled roof clad in composite shingles, with a gabled covered entryway supported by simple columns and a hip-roofed cupola that once featured a steeple. The building is constructed with CMU and has vertical wood accent cladding at its main façade. Sliding aluminum picture windows at secondary façades are interspersed with smaller fixed-pane and glass block windows. The metal door is flanked by three-paned sidelights. The building at 3503 East 17th Street was constructed in 1964-65 as a meeting and worship space for the Free Church of God and Christ in Jesus Name, a small Pentecostal congregation. Led by Bishop E. Evans of Dallas, the Austin congregation began meeting in 1962, with members periodically meeting at their homes, though the Free Church of God was officially chartered here in 1930. Elder T. Cleveland served as pastor. By 1973, the church had changed its name to True Pentecost Church of the Lord Jesus. In 2005, the Pentecostal Church sold the building, which was then converted to a single-family residence. 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 building does not appear to convey architectural significance. b) Historical association. The building is associated with the Free Church of God in Christ in Jesus’ Name. 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 property is not a significant natural or designed landscape with artistic, aesthetic, cultural, or historical value to the city. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Encourage rehabilitation and adaptive re-use, but release the permit upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package, consisting of photographs of all elevations, a dimensioned sketch plan, and a narrative history, for archiving at the Austin History …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION MARCH 23, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0080 1501 CANTERBURY STREET D.3 - 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1926 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story, rectangular-plan, front-gabled frame bungalow with a partial-width front-gabled partially-inset porch on plain, square wood posts; single and paired 1:1 fenestration. The house was built by local builder Frank Rundell in 1926; the first owners and occupants were Leslie and Orlean Stephens, who lived here until around 1928. Leslie Stephens was a clerk for the Southern Pacific Railroad. The next owners and occupants of the house were Alex K. and Ellen Abramson, who lived here from 1928 until around 1965. Alex Abramson was a city fireman until his retirement in 1955. Following the residency of the Abramsons the house was purchased by Santos and Anita Salinas, who lived here from around 1965 until their deaths. Santos G. Salinas was a maintenance man at the Scarbrough Building in downtown Austin. He passed away in 2004; Anita G. Salinas passed away in 2018. STAFF COMMENTS The house was recommended as contributing to the potential South East Austin historic district by the East Austin Historic Resource Survey (2016). Staff has evaluated this house for designation as a historic landmark and has determined that the house does not meet the criteria for landmark designation as set forth in City Code: a. Architecture. The house is a vernacular bungalow. The house reflects a common style with no architectural distinction. D.3 - 2 b. Historical association. The house was the home of several blue collar working families over the years: a railroad clerk, a city fireman, and a maintenance man. There do not appear to be significant historical associations. 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 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. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Encourage rehabilitation and adaptive re-use, then relocation over demolition, but release the permit upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package, consisting of photographs of all elevations, a dimensioned sketch plan, and a narrative history, for archiving at …

D.4 - 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APRIL 27, 2020 DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS HDP-2020-0086 200-06 E. 4TH STREET PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1910 warehouse. ARCHITECTURE One-story, rectangular-plan, flat-roofed brick commercial warehouse building with a raised concrete loading platform along the south (4th Street) elevation. The building has single, rectangular fenestration in segmental-arched openings; all windows have been replaced with plate glass. Each window opening has a rectangular transom above, with a raised brick sill and lintel. Above the transoms is a belt course of raised brick, tapering from top to bottom; above the belt course is a flat-topped parapet with a tablet defined by raised brick. The building has a non-historic continuous metal awning along the south (4th Street) elevation; it replaced a historic metal awning. There is a modern, one-story rooftop addition to the building, set back from the exterior walls. RESEARCH Marks Grain Company, a wholesale and retail feed, hay, and grain business, built this building in phases as its warehouse. At the time the first section was built, around 1910, at the northeast corner of 4th and Brazos Streets, the remainder of the block eastward on 4th Street was still residential; the 1900 Sanborn map shows a line of relatively large houses along the north side of E. 4th Street. Marks Grain Company was established by brothers Harry and Charles Marks before the turn of the 20th century. The 1909-10 city directory, issued just prior to their construction of this building, shows Marks Grain Company at 406 Congress Avenue and their warehouse at the southeast corner of 3rd and Brazos Streets, a block south of the current building. Around 1912, their business address changed to 200-04 E. 4th Street, indicating an expansion to the building. No residences remained to the east of the building along E. 4th Street. By 1920, according to the city directory of that year, the business address for Marks Grain Company was 200-08 E. 4th Street, indicating an additional, and final expansion of the warehouse. Both Harry and Charles Marks died in 1924, within a few months of each other. The business continued out of this building, with James S. Howse as the manager, until around 1931. Lolla Marks, the widow of Harry Marks, is listed as the president of the company in the 1932-33 city directory, the last that the company is listed. Between 1924 and 1931, the Marks successors began leasing …
