HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 2, 2022 PR-2022-144178; GF-2022-154608 WEST LINE 1006 EASON STREET 18 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1928 house. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story side-gabled house with a central, partial-width gabled porch with deep eaves, supported by Classical columns. The house is clad in wood siding and has 1:1 paired vinyl replacement windows. 1006 Eason Street was built around 1928 for Hyden A. and Anna Albert and their family. Hyden Albert, Sr., worked as a carpenter. His wife, Anna E., remained in the home after his death in 1951, living there until at least 1959. Anna Albert served multiple terms as vice-president and president of the Business and Professional Women’s Club during the 1960s. Two of their sons, John and Victor, became Naval and Air Force pilots, while H. A. Albert Jr. became a polygraph operator. PROPERTY EVALUATION The main house contributes to the West Line National Register district. 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 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 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 New construction in National Register districts requires Historic Landmark Commission review prior to demolition permit release.

19 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 2, 2022 HR-2022-152804 TRAVIS HEIGHTS - FAIRVIEW PARK 201 PARK LANE PROPOSAL Construct a new residence. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The proposed new building is a two-story house clad in masonry with vertical siding accents. It has a roughly trapezoidal plan, conforming to the lot shape. Its irregular roof is clad in standing-seam metal, with a large dormer at the rear elevation. Fenestration includes fixed undivided windows throughout and fully glazed entry doors. The existing building was approved for demolition in 2022. 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: Residential new construction 1. Location The proposed building appears to be located appropriately on the triangular lot. 2. Orientation The proposed building’s orientation is compatible, with the carport and drive opening onto the secondary street. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed building’s height is somewhat incompatible with nearby one-story contributing buildings. Its massing and scale appear more monolithic than nearby contributing buildings. 4. Proportions The proposed building’s irregular proportions are not compatible with the surrounding district. 5. Design and style The proposed design and style is consistent throughout; however, it does not reflect the character of the district. 6. Roofs The proposed irregular roofline is not consistent with rooflines of contributing properties in the district. While the large dormer appears overwhelming, it does not appear visible from the primary street frontage. 7. Exterior walls The proposed masonry and vertical siding are somewhat incompatible with the surrounding district. 8. Windows and doors Proposed irregular, undivided windows are not compatible with the district. 11. Attached garages and carports The proposed carport appears compatible, and its location at the secondary street frontage is consistent with other properties in the district. Summary The project does not meet most of the applicable standards. COMMITTEE FEEDBACK Modify roofline and fenestration to be more in keeping with the neighborhood. Add more fenestration and use fewer masonry elements, taking cues from the surrounding contributing buildings (e.g., lap siding, shingle roofing, gabled or hipped roofline). Do not use a shed roof on the dormer, though the dormer position at the rear of the building is favorable. Reconsider vertical siding, as it appears to overwhelm the building form in renderings. …

20 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 2, 2022 HR-2022-152879 WILLOW-SPENCE 1020 SPENCE STREET PROPOSAL Partially demolish and construct an addition to the rear side of a ca. 1912 contributing building. Construct a garage apartment at rear of lot. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Construct a rear addition two-story addition to the existing one-story house. The addition is connected to the main house by a glass hyphen. It is clad in stack bond brick, stucco, and vertical wood siding. The roofline is mostly flat and clad in TPO, save for a small section of standing-seam metal shed roofing. Fenestration is mostly fixed, undivided, and vertically oriented. 2) Construct a two-story detached garage apartment with alley access at the rear of the lot. Proposed finishes and roofline appear to match the new addition. 3) Replace siding, windows, and roof and move the front door at the main house. Construct an accessible ramp and handrail to the front porch. The proposed window and door replacements modify original openings and window configurations. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story National Folk house with pyramidal hipped roof, board-and-batten siding, and inset partial-width porch supported by turned posts. Fenestration includes double entry doors and 1:1 wood windows. The 1985 Willow-Spence National Register Historic District nomination describes the house as “a one-story, board-and-batten cottage with a hipped roof and corner porch. Many architectural details are intact, including a Victorian comer-porch column. New elements include a cement foundation, steps, and porch floor.”1 The house at 1020 Spence was constructed around 1912 as a rental property. Its architectural details share many similarities with “Hofheinz houses,” distinctive National Folk houses rented out in East Austin to working-class families during the early years of the twentieth century by Edmund and Oscar Hofheinz. From the East Austin Context Statement (East Austin Historic Resource Survey), Vol. 1, p. I-40: The first two decades of the 1900s were rampant with development throughout the East Austin survey area …residential construction in these new developments reflected evolving trends in domestic designs, as the eclectic tastes of the Victorian era waned and simpler styles and detailing became more widespread. Among the poor and working classes, new house types began to replace more traditional forms. The linear, one‐room‐deep plans that featured gabled roofs…gave way to a new generation of houses with deeper, more box‐like plans and often had hipped or pyramidal roofs with inset porches. The effect …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 2, 2022 HR-2022-155521 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK 1907 KENWOOD AVENUE 21 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolition of an existing quadplex and new construction of a duplex. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Total demolition of a circa 1947 duplex that has been converted to a quadplex, a contributing structure to the Travis Heights National Register District. 2) New construction of an interior split-level, two-story duplex using brick, stucco, and clear sealed wood. ARCHITECTURE The structure is circa 1947 Contemporary Style brick and tile quadruplex with a flat roof. The structure is built into the hillside, initially with garage space down, like a walk-out basement plan. The Contemporary Style house typically could be built on steep hillsides where Ranches and even Split-levels would be challenging to place. The house appears to be a single story from the street, but downhill reveals a two-story structure. The fenestration seems to be original 4:5 metal frame casement windows, with a slightly recessed central entry on the front façade. The second street-level unit is accessed via a side entry door. The rear façade reveals a partial width upper and lower balcony with rear stairs for accessing the rear-facing living units. RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS The property first appears in the 1949 Citywide directory as rented by Marvis and Bess Bell, with Mr. Bell’s occupation listed as a “salesman.” It was followed by several other renters, such as Robert E. Rips and Nina Brewer, whose occupations were not listed. The interior was repaired and remodeled in 1960. 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: Repair and alterations 1. General standards The project seeks to demolish a historic building that provides four living units and replace it with compatible new construction which will only offer two living units. Repair and rehabilitation are always recommended over demolition. Furthermore, historic housing stock is more affordable than new construction, and the project proposes demolishing four existing housing units. The replacement will be two new construction units, which will likely be less affordable than those it replaces. Residential new construction 1. Location The new construction project is sited appropriately from the street and in keeping with the rhythm of other contributing structures. 2. Orientation The project …

22 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION /PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS NOVEMBER 2, 2022 HR-2022-155536 TRAVIS HEIGHTS - FAIRVIEW PARK 1407 ALTA VISTA AVENUE PROPOSAL Remodel a ca. 1932 duplex to convert it to single-family use. Demolish a detached garage and construct a new garage apartment in its place. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Convert duplex to single-family use. Change roofline, remove double entryways and gables, replace siding, replace windows, replace doors, replace porch. Materials include painted aluminum roofing, fiber cement siding, metal windows with wood casing and trim, and painted metal railing. 2) Demo existing garage and build new detached garage apartment. The proposed garage apartment is one and one-half stories in height, with a shed roof and fixed undivided windows. A full-height vertical screen structure accents horizontal fiber cement siding, and a round window appears at the west elevation above a concrete and wood retaining wall. A metal fence to match the main house’s porch guardrail surrounds the garage. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS Two-story Tudor Revival duplex with symmetrical plan, wood siding, and decorative steeply pitched entry gables with ornamental bargeboards, friezes, and brackets. The duplex at 1407 Alta Vista was constructed around 1932 as a rental property for Mrs. John L. Smith. Residents were mostly short-term, and included military servicemen, University of Texas students, clerks, state government employees, and hospital employees. 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: Repair and alterations 1. General standards The proposed alterations remove the remaining character-defining features of the house. 3. Roofs The proposed alterations do not retain the historic roof configuration, pitch, eave detailing, decorative elements, or design. 4. Exterior walls and trim The proposed replacement siding appears appropriate. 5. Windows, doors, and screens The proposed window replacements further exacerbate the loss of material from the 2013 remodel. They do not match the size and details of the original windows in historic photographs and further alter openings. 6. Porches Though a historic photograph indicates that separate angled stairwells were original to the duplex, there is no precedent for a single angled stairwell leading to a centered entryway; the design does not appear to successfully convey its intended sympathy for the building’s historic form. Residential new construction 1. Location and 2. Orientation …
