HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS DECEMBER 4, 2024 HR-2024-142310 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 2021 TRAVIS HEIGHTS BOULEVARD 8.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a third housing unit at rear of property. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish a rear carport that is currently attached to a two-story garage and apartment structure. In its place, construct a third housing unit that is fully detached from both the main house and the garage/apartment building. The new housing unit is proposed to be two floors, with a smaller setback from the alley than the existing carport. A long, narrow building footprint of approximately 1000 square feet fits within all required setbacks, and the second floor is approximately half that size, located away from the alley side of the property. ARCHITECTURE Originally constructed in the Tudor Revival style, the house at 2021 Travis Heights Boulevard is clad in multi-toned brick on the first floor with stucco above. Several front-facing gables frame the right half of the building, There are several screened windows along with an arched front door recessed slightly into the smallest gable. At some point after the district’s period of significance, a second-story addition was built above the left side of the house. This addition is clad in stucco to match the second floor of the original house and features three front-facing windows at one side. The inventory for the National Register district describes this alteration as “severe.” Behind the house is a two-story detached garage with living space above with little to no decoration. RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS When it was first constructed in the early 1930s, the house was owned by Lawrence & Lorraine Lane. Lawrence worked at multiple roles at the E. M. Scarbrough & Sons store, and Lorraine worked as a teacher. Lawrence Lane passed away prior to 1937, and Lorraine occupied the house for the next decade, at which point it was rented out to students and young professionals. The house was purchased by Reynolds & Gwendolyn Bixler, who occupied it for several years after. 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 in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location The proposed construction is located at the rear corner of the property, facing an alley, in accordance with Standard …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS DECEMBER 4, 2024 HR-2024-149566 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 1515 WEST 31ST STREET, BUILDING 2 9.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a contributing garage and construct a second housing unit. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS A garage that is listed as a contributing resource to the Old West Austin National Register district, which has been altered, is proposed to be demolished. It its place, a second housing unit, which is to be two floors in height with an added loft space. The footprint of the housing unit is to be similar in size and in an approximate location to the garage. The housing unit would be connected to the historic house with a new single-story screened porch. ARCHITECTURE The house at 1515 West 31st Street is a single-story and was constructed around 1938 with simple bungalow details. There is a front porch set at the right side, supported by two simple wood posts. The front entry is recessed under the porch, along with a single-hung window. Along with the two other windows at the front elevation, these have all been previously replaced. The roof is also made of replacement metal finish, which is a combination of hipped and gabled construction. There was also a two-story rear addition added to the house previously, which features a front-facing gable roof with decorative brackets that may confuse it as original. At the rear of the property is a simple rectangular garage with two roll up doors at opposite sides. A backyard pool is also present. RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS Little could be found about those that lived at 1515 East 31st Street. There is record of a William & Beatrice Spraul owning the property in 1940, but it is possible that they may have moved during World War II, as news articles identify an Earl Smith with that address by 1942. In between this, an invitation for service members was extended by Mrs. Mary Warner of this address. It is unclear how long each of these people lived at the address, or what their roles in the community were. 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 in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location The new unit is located …

We do NOT support the demoli�on of 1417 Preston Ave., which has its original window and door openings and architectural configura�on from its 1935 construc�on. Changes in its siding over the years, easily reversible, are the likely cause of its “non-contribu�ng” status in the Old West Aus�n Na�onal Register Historic District. The unique design/ floorplan of this house for Pemberton Heights indicates that it is likely an architect-designed residence. The Landmark Commission does not appear to have undertaken any research on 1417 to determine if it meets City of Aus�n Landmark status. This should be determined before the Landmark Commission makes a determina�on on the fate of this house. Because the OWANRHD is so large, contribu�ng status was based on visual assessment (approved by the Texas Historical Commission) rather than research for the 1600+ proper�es in this largest NRD in Texas. It is unfortunate to have a buyer for one of our historic proper�es who likes the historic appearance and stability of this block of Preston Ave., wants to own a residence here, and then demolishes an original house. Their view of our street doesn’t change, but everyone else’s does and not in a good way. The east block of Preston Ave. is very intact from its original construc�on; only one house has been completely demolished and rebuilt. A “modern farmhouse”, the style that the architect appears to be planning for 1417 Preston, is today’s version of a McMansion and is incompa�ble architecturally with our historic street. The scale and style of the original 1930s-50s houses on Preston Ave. works well for our small lots and low ver�cal density; adjacent homes are not crowded or overhung, and the streetscape and large trees are not overwhelmed. However, the architect plans to widen the street façade of 1417 so that the east side will be at the east setback line; this will place the new house ten feet from the neighboring house to the east. The garage will be raised to story and a half height and placed against the west setback line, overhanging neighbors on the south and west sides. We request that the Landmark Commission perform basic research on 1417 Preston Ave. to determine whether it meets the criteria to be eligible for Aus�n Landmark status if the exterior is restored. We do not want this original house to be demolished. Candace and John Volz 1406 Preston Ave.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 6, 2024 HR-2024-106503 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 1106 TRAVIS HEIGHTS BOULEVARD 10.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a rear two-story addition and detached guest house. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Remodel interior of main one-story house, retaining the front half of the exterior intact. 2) Construct a two-story rear addition along with a roof deck. Two decks and a screened porch are also included. 3) Demolish existing garage and rebuild as a one-story guest house. 4) Construct an at-grade basement at the rear slope of the addition. ARCHITECTURE The house at 1106 Travis Height Boulevard is a one-story symmetrical bungalow of modest size. The concrete front porch is set above the already elevated plot of land that slopes down significantly towards the street and sidewalk. A projecting front gable covers the middle third of the porch and is supported by decorated wood posts resting on two concrete bases. The decoration at these posts matches the wood handrail that is present around the remainder of the porch. Two pairs of windows, one on each side of the front door, are present and are covered with what appear to be original screens over windows. Behind the projection over the porch is a side gabled roof featuring a brick chimney at one side, along with an obscured front gable facing the street and featuring an attic vent. All architectural features at the front of the house appear to be original or highly appropriate replacements. RESEARCH Beginning with its construction sometime prior to 1920, the property had frequent turnover of owners and renters until the late 1940s. This included a second address, 1106½ Travis Heights Boulevard, on the property, which housed various tradespeople during the Great Depression. In 1949, the property was purchased by Jesse & Emma Raven, who were owners and operators of Raven’s Garage, a local auto repair business. They held the property for several decades, until the mid- 1980s, at which point they were retired. The secondary unit was lost or converted at some point during the Raven’s ownership. DESIGN STANDARDS 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 in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential additions 1. Location The addition is located at the rear of the main …
