HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS AUGUST 3, 2022 PR-2022-002404 & GF-2022-016498; 1315 & 1317 NEWNING AVE 13 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE Demolish two existing contributing buildings located in the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register District, which are 1315 Newning Ave. (ca. 1940) and 1317 Newning Ave (ca. 1915) on one parcel. Demolish all impervious cover and a third structure to the rear, between 1315 & 1317 Newning Avenue. 1317 Newning Ave. is a modest, single-story Greek Revival house with a rectangular plan on a pier and beam foundation, with a low-pitched, hipped metal roof. The residence has a full-width entry porch supported by pilasters and a single masonry chimney. A single-entry door and transom are flanked by two rectangular windows on the symmetrical façade, while three pairs of similar rectangular windows transverse the south elevation. 1315 Newning Ave. is a simple, single-story wood frame house of Minimal Traditional Style, circa 1940 with horizontal wood siding and a front-gabled asphalt roof. It has a small, lower gable roof extension on simple posts with concrete steps, forming a front porch over an off-center single-door entry. The façade contains two sets of rectangular windows on either side of the entrance, which appears to be 1:1 with aluminum replacement screens. RESEARCH 1315 Newning was constructed in the early 1940s. Research indicated water tap permits in 1951. It served as a rental property for most of its lifespan. In 1955, Richard D. and Hilda R. Rylander rented 1315 Newning Avenue. Richard was an accountant for the State Insurance Board. In 1957, Jack and Alma Clark became the new tenants. Jack was listed as serving with the United States Air Force. According to City directories, the house at 1315 Newning was vacant in 1959. 1317 Newning was built circa 1915. The first known mention by a city directory of this address was in 1916, when Guy and Beulah Cannon purchased the property. Guy was a local car salesman. After 1920, the property was then purchased by Jerome B. Wheatley, a sergeant for the Texas Rangers. Jerome Wheatley was hand-picked by Governor Pat Neff (term 1921-1925) to serve in the Texas Rangers1. Sergeant Wheatley was also a former Potter County Sheriff (1894-98), Moore County Sheriff, and Chief of Police for Amarillo2. According to City Directories, Captain Wheatley lived at the residence from at least 1922-1927, during which he was appointed to the Rangers …

14.0 - 1205 Alta Vista Ave original pdf

Page 1 of 7 pages

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS AUGUST 3, 2022 HR-2022-026102 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK 1205 ALTA VISTA AVENUE 12 – 1 Demolish existing two-story duplex and secondary building and construct a new three-story single-family house. PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS 1) Demolish existing house and rear garage apartment. 2) Construct a three-story house. The proposed building is flat-roofed and clad in stucco, board-and-batten, tongue-and- groove siding, and cedar slats. Fenestration includes fixed undivided windows and casement windows with irregular spacing, proportions, and orientation throughout; a front-facing garage; and sliding glass doors. The primary building at 1205 Alta Vista Avenue is a two-story cross-gabled duplex with horizontal siding, 6:6 wood windows, arched six-light accent windows, and composition shingle roof. 1205 Alta Vista Avenue was constructed around 1939 for Mary G. Sanders, along with a garage.1 A rear dwelling unit was constructed later. It appears to have been constructed as a duplex, and mostly housed two families in the main building and one in the rear unit. Renters were largely short-term and included a cattle buyer, a meat inspector, a bookkeepers, students, and oil company 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: Residential new construction 1. Location The proposed new building is set back approximately 25’, in line with historic-age buildings on the street. 2. Orientation The proposed new building’s orientation is consistent with the predominant orientation of contributing buildings on the same block. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed new building is three stories, while nearby contributing buildings are one and two stories; its floor-to-floor and foundation height does not appear consistent with nearby contributing buildings. Its monolithic massing is not compatible with the district. 4. Proportions The proposed building’s proportions are not compatible with those of contributing buildings on the block. 5. Design and style The proposed building is differentiated from historic buildings and its details are consistent with its style, but its overall design is at odds with the historic district in terms of scale, massing, proportions, patterns, and some materials. 1 "Real Estate Transaction 1 -- no Title."

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS AUGUST 3, 2022 HR-2022-070860 TRAVIS HEIGHTS - FAIRVIEW PARK 407 E. MONROE STREET 15 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1937 garage apartment and construct a new building. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Demolish garage apartment. 2) Construct a new building. The proposed building is split-leveled, with two stories plus basement and attic. It is clad in stucco, brick, and fiber cement siding. Its compound gabled roof is clad with matching standing-seam metal. Fenestration is irregular throughout and features a fully glazed multilight front door, front-facing garage door, and fixed undivided windows of varying proportions. ARCHITECTURE Two-story stucco garage apartment with screened wood windows, triangular brackets at overhanging first-floor eaves, and partially glazed entry door and garage doors facing the primary street frontage. 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 new construction 1. Location The proposed building appears to be constructed at the site of the existing building, next to the primary structure. 2. Orientation The proposed building appears to be oriented toward the street, as is the existing structure. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed building’s massing is somewhat more complex than the existing simple rectangular garage apartment. Its height is similar. 4. Proportions The proposed building’s irregular proportions do not appear compatible with the surrounding historic district. 5. Design and style The proposed building’s design, while consistent, does not appear to relate to the surrounding district. 6. Roofs The steeply pitched open gables do not appear compatible with the existing primary building, though the applicant has removed flat roof elements to enhance compatibility. 7. Exterior walls The proposed building’s exterior wall materials have been changed to represent Committee feedback, rendering the project more compatible. 8. Windows and doors The proposed building’s irregular fenestration and undivided lights do not reflect the character of the district, though fenestration has been altered to enhance compatibility. Summary The project meets some applicable standards. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register district. COMMITTEE FEEDBACK Include divided lights in windows. Implement design changes to reduce building height and increase cohesion with streetscape at roofline and garage. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Release the demolition permit upon completion of a City …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS AUGUST 3, 2022 HR-2022-067914 TRAVIS HEIGHTS - FAIRVIEW PARK 2107 BRACKENRIDGE STREET 16 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish ca. 1946 house and ca. 1940 accessory building and construct a new duplex. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Demolish existing buildings and construct a new duplex. The proposed duplex has a compound flat and gabled roof clad in standing-seam metal. Its exterior cladding includes stucco, diagonal wood siding, and stone. Fenestration is irregular throughout and includes undivided fixed and casement windows and full height sliding doors. ARCHITECTURE One-story cross-gabled house with horizontal siding, 1:1 windows, and rear two-story garage apartment. RESEARCH The primary building at 2107 Brackenridge Street was built in 1946 in front of an existing garage apartment, built 1940, which was converted to a duplex in 1949. Its residents included a cleaner, two carpenters, a rental property manager, and a tailor. 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 new construction 1. Location The proposed duplex is located approximately 50’ from Brackenridge Street. 2. Orientation The front unit of the proposed duplex is oriented toward the primary streetscape. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed duplex is two stories in height, with complex massing that appears at odds with the relatively simple massing of surrounding buildings. 4. Proportions The proposed duplex’s two-story height and top-heavy massing appear incompatible with nearby contributing buildings. 5. Design and style The proposed duplex’s postmodern style does not appear compatible with surrounding buildings. 6. Roofs The gabled roofline is somewhat compatible, though the complexity of the roofline is not. 7. Exterior walls The proposed cladding materials are not appropriate for the district, with the exception of the stucco, which appears elsewhere in the district. 8. Windows and doors The proposed irregular fenestration is largely incompatible; however, the applicant has amended the design to improve compatibility. 11. Attached garages and carports The proposed carports somewhat serve as a step-up element to mitigate the duplex’s upper-story visual weight. Summary The project does not meet most of the applicable standards. 16 – 2 PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The …

The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location The proposed building is sited approximately 24 feet from the street. 2. Orientation The proposed building’s orientation is consistent with others in the district; however, its front-facing garage is not appropriate. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed building’s scale, massing, and height appears mostly compatible with the district. 4. Proportions Proportions appear mostly compatible. See 6 and 8. 5. Design and style The proposed building’s design and style are consistent and appear to take some design cues from the surrounding district. 6. Roofs The proposed roof is mostly compatible, though the steep pitch may make the building appear more massive than it is. 7. Exterior walls Proposed cladding appears compatible with the district. 8. Windows and doors Proposed fenestration appears mostly compatible with the district, though a configuration with smaller divided lights would improve compatibility. 10. Chimneys The proposed chimney is not a boxed chimney. 11. Attached garages and carports The proposed front-facing garage does not comply with the design standards.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS AUGUST 3, 2022 HR-2022-094167 OLD WEST AUSTIN 2607 MCCALLUM DRIVE 18 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a new residence and garage apartment. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The proposed primary building is two stories in height with a compound gable roof. It is clad in brick with stucco accents. A decorative metal hood caps the entryway. Windows throughout are predominantly single and paired 4:1 single-hung. The proposed detached garage apartment is two stories with a gabled roof, set back from the main house. It is clad in stucco with a front-facing garage door and exterior materials to match the main house. 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 Both proposed structures are located on the approximate footprint of the existing house and detached garage. 2. Orientation Both proposed structures are oriented in the same way as the previous house and garage. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed primary building appears appropriate in scale, massing, and height; the proposed garage apartment is set back enough to minimize its two-story height. 4. Proportions The proposed primary building’s proportions are mostly compatible; however, its dramatic roofline may emphasize its verticality. 5. Design and style The proposed buildings’ styles are compatible with the surrounding district and appear consistent throughout. 6. Roofs See 4. 7. Exterior walls The proposed primary and secondary exterior materials are compatible with the surrounding district. 8. Windows and doors The proposed fenestration is appropriate in configuration and placement. True divided lights would enhance compatibility. 10. Chimneys The proposed chimney is clad in brick. Summary The project mostly meets the applicable standards. PROPERTY EVALUATION The existing building was approved for demolition in 2021. COMMITTEE FEEDBACK Reduce height of gable if possible. Provide an orthographic elevation if feasible to show relationship to streetscape. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Comment on and release plans for new construction. LOCATION MAP 18 – 2
