STATE THEATER BLADE REPLICA ARC REVIEW; 2.21.24 SCOPE: phase 1 The following is the proposed work for the fabrication of a replication of the State Theater blade sign. The product includes a solid- state programmable flasher/speller to control the lighting. Several light shows can be pre-programmed, and it has the capability to update these light shows as desired. The base cost includes using upgraded LED lighting. All fabrication of the blade will be from steel angle structure and steel/aluminum sheet material. All finishes are acrylic polyurethane (automotive grade). All electrical will be per NEC code and all products are UL recognized. This includes UL 2161 compliant transformers, which require internal ground faulting. The blade sign will be fabricated to install on support structure points on the building prepared for it by engineer. SCOPE: phase 2 Preparation of steel sign support structure, removal of existing sign, and installation of newly built State Theater blade sign. Structural engineers will determine building support system specifications for steel support structure fabrication. Crane service for structural material rooftop staging and sign installation will be provided. All electrical connections tied into building will be made and secured in watertight connections.

ARCHITECTURE 2307 Windsor Road #2 is a two-story Mid-century Modern house with a flat roof, rustic stone and board-and-batten cladding, expansive fixed windows, a substantial stone chimney, and an inset carport at the one-story portion of the house. The building is set back between Windsor and East Windsor Roads, accessible only by a steeply sloped drive behind two street-frontage houses and invisible from both Windsor and East Windsor. Its stepped-down form nestles into the hillside with a two-story bank of windows facing downtown. RESEARCH The house at 2307 Windsor Road #2, originally addressed as 2300 East Windsor Road, was constructed in 1950 for Judge Trueman O’Quinn and his family. O’Quinn, an attorney, graduated from the University of Texas after reporting and editing for the Beaumont Enterprise, the Austin American, and the Daily Texan.1 While still a student, he was elected to the 42nd Texas Legislature for Jefferson County from 1931 to 1932. After a few years in private practice, O’Quinn worked as an Austin assistant city attorney and was appointed chief City Attorney in 1939, a position he held until 1950. During World War II, he worked as Staff Judge Advocate after the Allied invasion of Normandy and occupation of Germany.2 The Windsor Road house was constructed the same year O’Quinn left the City for private practice. Throughout the 1960s and ‘70s, he held numerous public and political posts, including fourteen years as Travis County’s Democratic Chairman and as the official counsel for the University of Texas. He was appointed to the Third Court of Civil Appeals in 1967 and served for thirteen years.3 O’Quinn was best known for his role as a prolific collector and prominent amateur historian of William Sydney Porter, known as O. Henry. “For almost half a century he gathered first editions, photos, manuscripts, and other memorabilia. He donated the staggering collection to The O. Henry Resources at the Austin History Center in 1982, a contribution without parallel,” notes Britney Jeffrey in the Texas State Historical Association’s Handbook of Texas. “Throughout his adult life, O'Quinn wrote articles and delivered speeches.”4 He was instrumental in saving two O. Henry residences from demolition, though one burned in 1956.5 The other remains as the O. …

ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Mid-century Modern house with Spanish Eclectic stylistic influences. The property at 2102 Four Oaks Lane was designed and constructed by developer Jack Browning for the 1969 Parade of Homes, hosted by the Austin Homebuilders’ association in the growing Barton Hills neighborhood. “It is a home especially designed for a specific site,” states Browning in a 1969 article celebrating the Parade’s success at securing a buyer for the house, named “Bluffview.” The new homeowner, Jack Magners, worked as an aeronautical engineer for Tracor and had relocated to Austin with his family two years prior. 1 Bluffview was heavily marketed as a showpiece and included interior design elements and furniture promoted by local firms and retail showrooms. In her National Register nomination for a Northwest Hills model home, Karen Twer discusses the importance of the Parade of Homes in Austin’s development history: By building model houses for events like the Parade of Homes, builders and developers could highlight the attractive and livable qualities of their volume-built houses and market new suburban developments to masses of potential homebuyers. As a kind of conceptual show window, their model houses needed to be centrally located…Not bounded by the existing urban landscape, developers could create the kind of neighborhoods second-time middle-class homebuyers were seeking. By hosting Parade of Homes events in outlying areas of growing cities, developers and builders were influential in shaping the suburban development of expanding cities like Austin. […] Builders and developers relied on architects to design the kind of distinctive houses that would rival custom-built houses…Model houses built for the Parade of Homes were collaborative interpretations of the kind of modern domestic lifestyle homebuyers dreamt of…In the 1960s, [Austin’s] Parade of Homes events continued focusing on largely undeveloped areas south and northwest of the city […]. In addition to the spectacle the events provided Austinites, Austin builders and developers understood the mass-marketing opportunity the Parade of Homes offered.2 According to Realtor Michele Roi3, the property has been owned by the same family for thirty years; the massive stucco fireplace and mirrored accent wall described in the 1969 Barton Hills Parade of Homes advertisements remain in situ.

ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story cross-gabled house with brick and stone cladding, metal picture and casement windows, double front gables with shallow eaves, and built-in planter. The house at 1401 Elton Lane was built in 1951. Its first occupants were D. E. Farr and his family; however, the Farrs only lived in the house until 1953. They sold the house to longer-term occupants Alvin and Lora Burger. Alvin Burger moved his family from New Jersey to Texas to take a position as the first executive director of the Texas Research League, a nonprofit successor to the Texas Economy Commission whose goal was to provide research and recommendations on economic, organizational, and policy structures to public administrative agencies. During his tenure as executive director, Burger and the Research League won several high-profile awards for their work with Texas government. Burger also served as president of the board of directors of Child and Family Services and the United Fund. After his retirement in 1970, Burger dedicated himself to advocating for the rights of elderly Texans as chairman of the Governor’s Committee on Aging, chairman of the delegation to the White House Conference on Aging in 1971, and chairman of the Adult Services Council of Austin and Travis County in 1974. PROPERTY EVALUATION Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352).

As queer as you want to be. This historical marker commemorates the contributions, struggles, and successes of Austin's LGBTQIA+ community, whose once -denigrated members have always spanned all genders, races, classes, creeds, generations, and origins. In earlier times, people lost their jobs, social standing, and sometimes even their lives for being sex- or gender-variant. Outside of the isolation of private homes, downtown bars and nightclubs offered secret, safe havens for LGBTQIA+ people to gather. Social justice movements in the 1960s advancing the struggles for justice, acceptance, equality, and freedom for women and racial minorities gave rise to a national gay and lesbian rights movement. Austin was quick to respond. A local chapter of the Gay Liberation Front was founded in 1970, with the first National Gay Liberation Conference hosted here in 1971. A vibrant culture evolved with restaurants, bars, retail shops, bookstores, theaters, churches and a wide variety of professionals and service providers. In the 1980s, a nightlife scene developed in the old warehouse district around 4th Street and Colorado. Clubs with drag shows, entertainment, and dances provided opportunities for gathering and community building. During the AIDS crisis of the 80s and 90s, the clubs offered occasions for sex education, counseling, and fundraising—and solace. In the 21st century, as the movement evolved to recognize all Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, and other segments of the community, these blocks of bars and coffee shops became integrated with the rest of downtown—much like the assimilation of queer representation into mainstream culture. With many of the political and social dreams of the leaders of past decades realized, Austin remains a vibrant place for all communities to call home.

PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Two-story, square-plan duplex with horizontal wood siding, screened 1:1 and 6:6 wood windows, and a hipped roof. The duplex at 3205 Tom Green Street was built as a rental property in 1937. Its proximity to the University of Texas and to State offices made it an attractive home for students, State officials, and bookkeepers. Several insurance industry employees also lived in the house. Most tenants were short-term, and most were either single or lived only with one other person or spouse. This type of building was typical in Austin’s early years, as new and part-time residents moved into the area and sought smaller apartments and duplexes. PROPERTY EVALUATION The North Central Austin survey lists the property as contributing to a potential historic district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain high 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 for landmark designation: a. Architecture. The building is a good example of an early-twentieth-century duplex. b.

ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story house with side-gabled roof intersected by a gablet above the front stoop, horizontal wood siding, a stone veneer water table, and 1:1 wood windows. The house at 2407 S. 3rd Street was constructed in 1955. Julian Herrera, a plumber, and his wife, Ygnacia, owned the home; it was also occupied by Ygnacia’s father, Porfirio Liscano III. Liscano, who lived to 111 years old, was Austin’s oldest living cowboy at the time of his death in 1971. Liscano came to the U.S. with a remuda of broncos in 1912, and stayed to find work. Until he was 83, Liscano picked cotton for a Bluff Springs farm. Nanci Felice interviewed the former caballero before his 111th birthday: “‘I didn’t serve anybody in Mexico,’ Liscano said with the haughty pride reserved for former caballeros. ‘But when I came here I found out what it was to work for someone.’ […] Once, in 1937, he returned to Mexico, but revolution had brought hard times to his country so he returned to the United States.’”1 Liscano became a citizen in 1938, living with his daughter and son-in-law after the death of his wife, Cecilia, in 1967.

One-story Mid-Century Modern house with irregular plan, clad in vertical wood siding and rustic stone. Its deep overhanging eaves shelter inset porches and exterior walkways, and a large stucco chimney dominates the rear elevation. Fixed floor-to-ceiling windows adorn much of the building’s exterior. The house at 5304 Western Hills Drive was built in 1962 for attorney Charles Alan Wright, along with his wife and five children. Wright, a University of Texas law professor, was an internationally recognized expert on constitutional law. He argued 13 cases before the United States Supreme Court and was “a quintessential friend” to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.1 As documented in Carl Tobias’ retrospective on Wright’s famous 54-volume Federal Practice and Procedure, Ginsburg remembered Wright as a "Colossus [who] stands at the summit of our profession,” declaring that “all who practice the lawyer's craft profit from his prodigious production” and that Wright’s treatise is “by far the most-cited treatise in the United States Reports [and] the procedural Bible for federal judges and all those who practice in our federal courts.”2 Wright became a household name for many Texans when he served as legal defense for President Richard Nixon during the Watergate scandal. His New York Times obituary describes Wright’s role: “As a special legal consultant to Mr. Nixon in the summer of 1973, he argued unsuccessfully that the constitutional separation of powers between the executive and judicial branches protected the president from turning over White House tape recordings... Eventually, the tapes helped prove the extent of the conspiracy to obstruct justice.”3 However, in a memorial published by Geoffrey Hazard in the Texas Law Review, “the media focus on that engagement pained him, not only because it disregarded his other accomplishments as an advocate but also because of the implication that it was anomalous for an honorable lawyer to defend a person accused of dishonorable conduct. Charlie regarded such an engagement as merely a highly visible instance of constitutional procedure and professional practice.”4 Wright served as president of the American Law Institute and as a member of the Judicial Conference of the United States. In 1955, he founded the University of Texas Legal Eagles, an intramural football team, and coached them …
