HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS FEBRUARY 28, 2022 HR-2022-003635 OLD WEST AUSTIN 1507 NORTHWOOD ROAD C.5 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a two-story addition to a single-story ca. 1935 house. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct a two-story addition. The proposed addition is located at the rear of the house and is clad in stucco. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS One-story stone-clad Tudor Revival house with steeply pitched, compound-gabled roof, arched entryway, decorative stonework trim, multilight bay window with shed roof and exposed rafter tails, and 6:6 screened wood windows. 1507 Northwood Road was constructed in 1935 as a rental property for Milton Burney.1 It had few long-term residents for the first half of the twentieth century; occupants appear to have been mostly University of Texas students, lecturers, and employees. Other short-term residents include a Southern Union salesman, a contractor, and an insurance agent. 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 proposed addition is appropriately sited at the back wall of the house. The applicant should consider retaining the unique river-rock finish at the rear gable when attaching the addition. 2. Scale, massing, and height While the proposed addition is two stories in height, its substantial setback minimizes its visual impact to the street view. 3. Design and style The proposed addition’s design and style are appropriate, with compatible but differentiated exterior wall materials to delineate the new portion of the house. 4. Roofs The proposed cross-gabled roofline is simple in design. The applicant should consider architectural shingles matching the existing shingle profile, rather than applying wood shakes where they did not previously exist, as well as omitting the exposed rafter tails at the addition. These changes will help to avoid the appearance of false historicism. 5. Exterior walls The proposed stucco cladding is compatible with the existing stone. 6. Windows, screens, and doors The addition’s proposed fenestration is compatible with the historic portion of the house. 8. Chimneys The proposed addition does not appear to modify existing historic-age chimneys.

C.6 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a rear addition and replace windows on ca. 1933 house. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Remove existing sunroom addition at the rear of the house. Construct a new sunroom with a screened porch in its place. The sunroom will be clad in painted wood siding to match the house. The screened porch extends approximately 6’ beyond the side of the house. 2) Remove concrete front porch slab and replace with a wood-framed porch floor. Retain the porch roof and columns. 3) Replace all windows with casement windows. Windows on the front elevation appear to be within the existing openings, while those on the side elevations have different sizes and placement than the historic windows. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story side-gabled bungalow clad in wood siding. The house has a partial width front-gabled porch with fluted box columns and an arched beam. The porch is a concrete slab with decorative iron railings. Windows are single and paired 1:1 wood sash with screens with a 6:1 light pattern. The front-facing gable has a lattice vent, with knee braces at the side-facing gable ends. At the rear is a shed-roofed addition. The house at 1609 Waterston Ave. was built around 1933 for P. J. Anthony, who lived at 1613 Waterston Ave. The first recorded occupants of the house are Seth D. and Evelyn H. Breeding, who married in 1933 and lived in the house around 1935. Evelyn Breeding studied to join the CIA before working at the State Highway Department. Seth Breeding earned a degree in engineering from the University of Texas and worked for the Texas Water Development Board and U.S. Geological Survey. Between 1939 and 1944, Benjamin W. and Alice Janosky rented the house. Benjamin Janosky worked as a salesperson at Scarbrough’s and EMS & Sons. Subsequently, a series of short-term occupants included a bank employee, the owner of the Fred Jones Garage, a plasterer, and a mechanic.

Construct a new single-family residence with a pool. 1) Total demolition of a ca. 1947/1982 contributing house. 2) Construction of a Contemporary-style single-family house with an attached rear carport. The proposed house is two full stories plus a penthouse and rooftop deck. The house has a flat roof with overhanging eaves; various siding materials including vertical wood, stucco, and metal panels; large, fixed windows with casement and hopper sashes; and a screened front porch. The carport opens onto the alley. 3) Installation of an in-ground pool in the front yard, behind a privacy wall. ARCHITECTURE Two-story, irregularly shaped stucco house that shows influences of the International style. A one-story portion of the house is capped by a steeply pitched shed roof. To the right, the second story projects to the front and side of the house, with the overhangs supported by pipe columns. This second-story volume has a flat roof with wide eaves. The front porch consists of a stoop with a flat-roofed overhang. Windows are steel casements. Note that the 1962 Sanborn map shows a small one-story residence on this lot. A building permit record from 1982 notes “addition to residence to create a two-story residence,” but the accompanying permit and drawings are not available. RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS The house at 1505 Alameda Dr. was built around 1947 for Marion Storm by contractor C. Ben Hibbetts. Mrs. Storm was the director of the Texas Social & Legislative Conference. She died in a car crash in 1950.1 Subsequent occupants included the proprietor of the Famous Café, a member of the U.S. Air Force, a clerk at the State Highway Department, and an assistant attorney at the State Attorney General’s Office.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS FEBRUARY 28, 2022 DA-2022-007262; GF-2022-017035 301 WEST 6TH STREET D.2 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE Demolish a ca. 1919 commercial building. RESEARCH The building at 301 W. 6th Street is a single-story brick warehouse with rhythmic fenestration, a corner entrance, and Art Deco cornice detailing. The The building at 301 West 6th Street was constructed around 1919, though the lot appears to have been in use as commercial and dwelling space since at least the 1890s, per Sanborn fire insurance maps and occupancy histories. Onorato Del Curto sold the corner lot at 6th and Lavaca to the San Antonio-based Riegler Ice Cream Company in 1919. It became a manufacturing and sales center, with plate-glass windows to display the state-of-the-art facility and enameled interior1 to pedestrian traffic. By the 1920s, the Austin Ice Cream Company had purchased the building as their Austin headquarters, manufacturing Violet Crown Ice Cream products. In 1926, a group of Temple investors with the Bell Ice Cream Company had purchased the company, though the building kept the Violet Crown name. By 1931, the expanding Bell Company planned to construct a new factory at 10th Street and Guadalupe,2 and the Roy Rather Refrigeration Company purchased 301 W. 6th Street. During the 1930s, after a brief stint at 201 W. 6th Street, Morris and Curtis Mosteller moved their seed business into the former factory.3 During the late 1930s and early 1940s, their advertising focused on the wartime Victory Garden effort, and Morris Mosteller dispensed regular planting advice as part of his role as garden committee chairman of the Chamber of Commerce.4 Throughout the historic period, the secondary building sharing a party wall with 301 W. 6th Street—known through the years as 502, 504, and 506 Lavaca Street—served a variety of business and industrial occupants, most notably the Lindsey Auto Electric Company. Lindsey Auto Electric remained at the Lavaca Street address for at least twenty years. PROPERTY EVALUATION Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate to high integrity. Non-historic awnings have been removed. Brick painting may have occurred in the historic period. Though the windows have been replaced, they do not appear to have altered original openings. 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: "Bell …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS FEBRUARY 28, 2022 DA-2022-012545; GF-2022-014670 AVENUE LOFTS 410 E. 5TH STREET D.3 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE Demolish a ca. 1928/1943 office building converted to condominiums. Art Moderne building with curved central entry between three- and four-story wings. The building is clad in stucco and has fixed, casement, and porthole windows. Horizontal sunshades extend along window headers. Balconies with pierced metal supports are on a side and rear elevation. RESEARCH The building at 410 E. 5th St. served as the headquarters of the Texas State Department of Health. According to the Handbook of Texas Online, this agency owes its origins to the need for quarantine in the 19th century. Successor departments with expanded missions were established by the state legislature in the early 20th century. The agency was reorganized and named the Texas State Department of Health in 1927.1 The building also historically housed the Pasteur Institute of Texas, organized in 1903 for the diagnosis and treatment of rabies. Originally part of the Austin Lunatic Asylum (now the Austin State Hospital), the institute was combined with other state laboratories into the Bureau of Laboratories in 1928, under the oversight of the State Health Department.2 The original portion of this building was constructed in 1928 to serve the Bureau of Laboratories and Pasteur Institute. An initial 1934 expansion was designed by Page Brothers.3 A larger 1943 expansion was dramatic enough to be termed a new building in newspaper coverage of the opening, which occurred on the 64th anniversary of the Texas State Department of Health. The project, which allowed the entire department to be housed in a single location for the first time, added a floor atop the original two-story brick building and constructed a three-story reinforced concrete wing to the west.4 Building permits indicate a fourth floor was added to the west wing in 1948, which was anticipated in the building’s design.5 The 1943 expansion was attributed to either Ernest V. Manning or John L. Scott of Shingle & Scott.6 Manning earned a degree in architecture from the University of Texas. He opened a practice in Fort Worth before returning to Austin. Manning worked as an architect for the Texas Highway Department and designed buildings in the Highway Department complex in Lufkin, Texas, as well as on the Austin State Supported Living Center campus.7 Around 1947, he moved to Houston and worked for architect …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS FEBRUARY 28, 2022 PR-2022-013267; GF-2022-014636 1906 WILLOW STREET D.4 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1916 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH 1906 Willow Street is a one-story house with pyramidal roof, inset partial-width porch, and screened aluminum windows. It is clad in horizontal wood siding and features double front doors. The primary house at 1906 Willow Street was built between 1916 and 1920. Its first occupants were renters Peter and Esther Allidi, who later built a landmarked home on Balcones Dr.1 By 1920, long-term owners Robert and Lottie Webb had purchased the house. Robert Webb worked as a railway ticketing agent with the Missouri-Pacific Lines, and Lottie Webb worked in the laundry at the Texas Confederate Home and the Driskill Hotel. Mrs. Webb stayed in the home after her husband’s death, renting it out to her mother2 and son in the late 1940s and to various other short-term renters in the 1950s. By 1959, Soledad Guajardo3 had purchased the house, adding an accessory unit at the rear of the property. PROPERTY EVALUATION The 2016 East Austin Historic Resource 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: a. Architecture. The building displays modest National Folk influences. 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. 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 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 reuse, then relocation over demolition, but release the demolition permit upon completion of a City of Austin Documentation Package. 1 Zoning Change Review Sheet: C14H-2015-0147, Peter and Esther Allidi House. https://www.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=251601 2 “Obituary.” The Austin Statesman, Jun 11, 1940. 7. 3 Zoning Change Review Sheet: C14H-2013-0006, Eloy and Soledad Guajardo …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS FEBRUARY 28TH, 2022 PR-2022-005907; GF-2022-016715 6801 BURNET RD. D.5 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Demolish a commercial (café) building built in the year 1968. This commercial building was built circa 1968 and is a single-story, wood-frame construction with red-painted brick masonry veneer with a mansard, asphalt roof. The patio area was later enclosed and retains an exterior tan stucco treatment with 8 large picture windows set at regular intervals across the Burnet Street facing façade. The building has been vacant since approx. 2018 and has graffiti on the façade and sides. The Frisco sign should be noted as part of the Burnet landscape since 1976. Location of the Frisco restaurant from 2008-2018. The Frisco’s closing in 2018 marked the end of an 86-year old legacy business initially opened by Harry Akin in 1932 at the corner of S. Congress and Riverside. Harry Akin was the first Texan and the first Southwesterner to hold the position of President of the National Restaurant Association. (1) Akin is highly respected and remembered for his civil rights advocacy practiced through his restaurant chain. Aiken’s businesses were among the first in Texas to desegregate; serving and hiring black people. He was also known for equal pay to minorities and women. His advocacy earned him a spot as a civil rights adviser to President Lyndon B. Johnson who was known to sneak in the back of the Night Hawk restaurant on S. Congress for a meal in the private dining room. Aiken was elected mayor in 1967 and assisted in the passage of laws prohibiting segregation in public places. (2) During this time the two biggest employers in the City of Austin were the University of Texas and the State of Texas, but The Night Hawk restaurant chain was also known as a top place to work. The businesses provided a higher standard of training, higher wages, and benefits like retirement options. Hoover Alexander, the founder of Austin legacy business Hoover’s Cooking, started as a busboy at the Night Hawk and credits the Night Hawk as where he “discovered his passion for food and where he learned the restaurant business from the ground up.” (3) In 1994, a partnership of former Frisco Shop long-term manager Lawrence Baker and the Aiken’s nephew, R. Harry Akin, purchased the Frisco Shop. The business changed hands again in 2008, when the Frisco moved …

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Attachments: Tyler Faust Wednesday, February 23, 2022 4:40 PM PAZ Preservation Regarding the 6801 Burnet Rd Demolition Permit Application -- Case Number PR-2022-005907 / GF 22-016715 image1.jpeg; image0.jpeg *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Good afternoon, I'm reaching out in response to a Notice of Public Hearing for a demolition permit at 6801 Burnet Rd. I notice that the location in question, which the notice designates as potentially having historical significance, is already actively being demolished before the 2/28 hearing (photos attached, taken this afternoon from the Marq on Burnet parking garage). While I have no issue with repurposing that land and no intention of opposing anything, I am a bit concerned that this developer would demolish everything *before* the permit hearing. I'm not sure if these hearings are simply pro forma or not, but if a developer is cutting corners early on with permitting, it worries me about what they'll do when they actually start building ‐‐ and if anyone were to wish to speak against demolition at the permit hearing, there's no longer a building to speak about in the first place.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS FEBRUARY 28TH, 2022 PR-2022-013252; GF-2022-016721 2012 EAST 16TH STREET D.6 – 1 Construct a two-story addition, covered patio, and deck to a ca. 1906-1908 single-story house. Remodel non-historic ADU. PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH 1) Demolish existing one-story addition. 2) Construct a two-story addition. The proposed addition is sited roughly 15 feet from the front porch wall of the house and 22 feet from the front gable wall, in the approximate location of the existing one-story addition. 3) Add a dormer to the existing house’s roof. 4) Open previously enclosed porch at the Alamo Street elevation. The house at 2012 E. 16th Street is a single-story L-plan Folk Victorian building with asbestos siding, scalloped shingles at the gable end, and 4:4 screened wood windows. Details include a stained-glass transom above the front door and chamfered posts supporting the partial-width porch. 2012 E. 16th Street was constructed around 1906 as a rental property. Its first occupants included saleswomen, laborers, railway workers, and clergymen. In the early 1920s, Walter J. and Lavina Jones purchased the home. Walter Jones, called Deacon, operated a restaurant on Leona Street before becoming manager and proprietor of a popular barbecue restaurant on E. 11th Street, Deacon Jones’ Place. Jones catered community events1 as well as operating a café, which he built in 1941.2 He was a member of the Austin-Travis County Humane Society and, after his retirement in 1955, served on the organization’s Special Donations Committee during fundraising efforts for an Austin animal shelter.3 Jones died in 1966.4 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 at potential historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 3. Roofs The proposed flat-roofed dormer is not appropriate. Residential additions 1. Location The proposed addition is located at the rear of house, roughly where the current one-story addition is sited. 2. Scale, massing, and height The proposed addition’s two-story height is mitigated by its significant setback; however, elevations for the primary street frontage were not provided, so its overall impact from E. 16th Street could not be determined. 3. Design and style The proposed addition’s design is somewhat complex, which may increase its visual impact, particularly at the Alamo Street 1 “Credit Women Have Barbecue on Lake Front,” …

Low Design Office, LLC <lowdo.net> USA: 2601A S 2nd St Austin, TX 78704 GHANA: 29 Palm St, Community 18, Tema 2012 E 16th Historic Review for a Partial Demolition (removing previous additions) Client: Date: Applicant: Sheer Nisman and Ryan O'Connor 21-February-2022 Ryan Bollom, AIA, Principal, Low Design Office Low Design Office has worked with Ryan and Sheer since December of 2020 to design a home addition that can accommodate their growing family (increasing the size of the house from 1580sf to 2520sf). Our collective design process and approach developed with a desire to preserve and enhance the beauty and character of the original house, built in 1905. The design also must respond to a contemporary metal clad garage apartment that was built by the previous owners in 2014. We feel the strongest and most efficient solution is to remove previous additions (which create odd interior spaces and problematic pass through rooms) and set the addition apart from the original house with a flat roof connector. This design solution clearly defines and highlights the original structure rather than blending the two together (as the previous addition does), and allows the addition to more freely respond to the needs of Ryan and Sheer while also bridging the difference between the original house and the garage apartment, which were constructed of vastly different materials, size, and scale. We look forward to an open conversation with the hopes of doing what is best for Ryan, Sheer, their family and their home.

Single story residential construction with cross gable roofline built in the Craftsman style circa 1925. The roof has one triangular knee brace in the apex of each gable. The porch supports are composed of brick masonry piers with sloping sides. On top of the piers rest the decorative wooden support columns which appear to take cues from Orientalist design principles. The wooden porch railing is almost Stick in its patterned styling lending to the Western Stick reference known for some Craftsman styles. The structure has horizontal wood siding and the façade is comprised of a single entry door and two matching window assemblies, each comprised of two single hung, vertical, wood windows. From 1927 to 1959 this home was owned and occupied by members of the Balagia Family. Charles and Tofie Balagia were owners of the Balagia Produce Company. Co-owner Tofie Balagia and his wife Bertha purchased this house in 1927 and it became their family home. Bertha Balagia (Tofie’s widow) continued to live at this address into 1959. The Balagia Produce Company was already one of the oldest in the Austin area by 1939 and where many would go to order their holiday turkeys and meats and they held the State contract for providing meat to State institutions for many years. Balagia Produce continued to serve the City and surrounding areas becoming one of the largest suppliers of meat and produce in the State of Texas.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS FEBRUARY 28, 2022 PR-2022-015243; GF-2022-016744 1908 E. 17TH ST. D.8 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE Demolish a circa 1929 single-family dwelling. This residence is a single family, one-story, wood construction, pier and beam bungalow with front-facing low pitched nested gable design with flattened peaks and wide unenclosed eave overhangs. This eclectic residence has what appears to be horizontal vinyl siding with a masonry stone veneer façade. The façade is composed of a single entry door and 1 window assembly, composed of 2, vertical, 1:1, single hung, windows, and one, solo, single hung, vertical, 1:1 window for a total fenestration façade count of three windows. This residence seems to take a variety of style cues mostly from Craftsman and Minimal Traditional designs and is categorized as a bungalow. RESEARCH Water service permit dates the residence to May of 1927. The first owners listed in the City Directories are Arnold and Fannie Wells, who owned the property from 1932 to 1939. Arnold was employed as a butler, yardman & chauffeur for 900 W 17th St. Fannie was 27 years old when she was charged with the murder of her 32-year husband after shooting him in self-defense during a domestic dispute at this residence in 1938. Arnold died at Brackenridge hospital. The property was rented by several tenants from 1941 to 1944 and then purchased by Arthur B. and Josephine Sneed. Mr. Sneed is listed as a Foreman for the City’s Public Works Department and the couple lived at this address from at least 1947 till Ms. Sneed’s death in 1977. PROPERTY EVALUATION The Chestnut Neighborhood Survey (2000) and East Austin Survey (2016) list the property as a low priority and contributing to a potential Chestnut historic district, respectively. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain low 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 building does 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. The property does not possess a unique location, physical characteristic, or significant feature …

1908 E 17th Attached are photos of the property located at 1908 E 17th taken in February 2022. The home is in very poor condition. It is not structurally sound due to a fire in the attic. In addition, there is mold present and large dead rats making it unhealthy to occupy. I am not sure when the fire happened, but sometime before our purchase as noted in attached listing.

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Partial demolition of a circa 1940 duplex contributing to potential North Hyde Park District. 2) New construction of second story addition which will cover approx 2/3 of the existing house footprint 3) Replace one window at the south elevation with wood casement window. 4) Providing Stairs to the second story by projecting out onto the existing concrete porch slab 5) Apply Standing Seam Metal roof: Type 26 snap-lock roofing system: 16” wide with standing seam approx. 1.5” tall 6) Exterior materials included horizontal fiber cement board lap and stucco for new construction. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS Minimal Traditional, gable and wing, wood and masonry construction multifamily (duplex) bungalow on the corner of Speedway and 46th Street. The entry façade is oriented South towards 46th street and comprised of white stone masonry with a single door entry and uncovered concrete porch which spans in front of the wing portion of the residence. The remaining exterior portions of the residence are horizontal wood siding. Research indicates that the duplex may have been moved to this location around 1964 from 3313 East Avenue. Directory listings indicate that it was first constructed there in 1940. If the duplex was moved from 3313 East Avenue, the duplex was rented by a variety of tenants over the years on a short-term basis with the longest tenant being Otto and Eleanor Schneider from 1944 to 1952. Mr. Schneider was employed by Concordia University. 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 the potential North Hyde Park District. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 5. Windows, doors, and screens Design guidelines call for the repair if possible before replacement of historic windows in reference to the family room window. Residential additions General: 1. Location 2. Scale, massing, and height The proposed new addition does not minimize visual impact. Residential additions should be sited at the side or rear of the original structure whenever possible to minimize views of the addition from the public right-of-way and should be subordinate to the principal façade. Residential additions should be designed …

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Jennifer Burcin Thursday, February 24, 2022 9:18 PM PAZ Preservation Demolition of 1505 Forest Trail *** External Email ‐ Exercise Caution *** Austin Historic Landmark Commission, I received a letter that there will be discussion regarding a property at 1505 Forest Trail which my own backyard is against on February 28, 2022. I have multiple concerns about the property being torn down. I have reviewed the historical significance of the property over the years. It adds a lot of significance to the Tarrytown neighborhood. It would be devastating for it to be destroyed for investment purposes. I’m also requesting a copy of the case form that allows my neighbors and myself to object to the demolition and write our reasoning. There are many neighbors on Forest Trail absolutely opposed to the demolition. Thank you for your time and your commitment to maintaining the city of Austin!

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FEBRUARY 28, 2022 C14H-2014-0012; HR-2022-014105 MARY NELSON HOUSE 1502 W. 9TH STREET B.7 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a rear addition and replace windows. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Construction of an approximately 600 square foot rear addition with a roof deck. Removal of a non-original rear closet and a single window will be required for the connection at the addition. The addition will be clad in stucco and will have sliding glass doors and square windows. The roof deck will be accessed by an exterior metal stair and will have a horizontal metal railing at the perimeter. 2) Replacement of historic window sashes with new 1:1 aluminum-clad wood windows, using a pocket installation method within existing frames and trim. Repair and retention of 4:1 wood screens. ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STANDARDS One-and-a-half story, rectangular-plan, front-gabled stuccoed frame bungalow with a projecting front-gabled bay to the left of the front façade; partial-width inset porch on stuccoed plain square posts; flat arches with coved intrados; false half- timbering in the tympanum of the primary front gable; Craftsman-style front doors at right angles, both with a transom; single and paired 1:1 fenestration with 4:1 wood screens. 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 historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 5. Windows, doors, and screens Standards 5.1 and 5.15 indicate that historic windows should be repaired rather than replaced, unless they are deteriorated beyond the point of stabilization and restoration. Standard 5.3 states that replacement windows should match the size and details of the existing windows, taking into account the design of the frames and sashes. The existing window sashes have multiple areas of deterioration, including wood rot, incompatible prior repairs, and poor fit within the window frames that results in air and water infiltration and an inability to secure the windows. Both a licensed inspector and a window contractor have indicated the existing sashes are beyond repair and should be replaced. The proposed replacement windows involve a pocket installation method, where the historic window trim and frames will remain in place. The sashes are removed by cutting the sash cords and removing the interior and parting stops. A new window unit with a minimal frame is inserted and the interior stop …
