HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS OCTOBER 2, 2024 HR-2024-095214 CASTLE HILL HISTORIC DISTRICT 701 BAYLOR STREET 10.0 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct a second-floor addition at the center-to-rear of the house, projecting above the existing roofline. Construction of a rooftop addition containing a bedroom and bathroom, to be accessed from within at a stairway from the ground floor residence. Addition will also feature a flat side terrace at the south half of the house, removing the existing side-gabled roof. The second-floor addition will have a roof sloping to the side that projects above the peak of the historic roof assembly by roughly five feet. The addition will be clad in steel and glass, and the wood cladding will be vertical, rather than horizontal, in orientation. Most windows are proposed to be removed at the ground floor of the southeast and northeast elevations, to be replaced with various styles of windows, most of which are steel framed. At the rear of the property, the ground floor deck is proposed to be extended, with a glass paneled handrail replacing the wood picket system. Below, the lower floor rear deck will be visually enclosed by a vertical slat assembly. Lower floor is proposed to be converted from one unit into two and would see one exterior door at the rear of the building removed. This would result in the property becoming a three-unit development. ARCHITECTURE The asymmetrical bungalow at 701 Baylor Street appears to be one-story from the front of the property, but due to the sloping elevation, there is a full lower floor that can be accessed from the side and rear. The house features an ample front gable with a smaller inset gable serving as cover over the front porch, which is supported by three ample brick and wood support posts. This porch extends across the southern two-thirds of the front façade. Four large windows are also present, two in each side of the front door. A slender chimney is located at the north side of the house, which extends above the moderately-pitched roof. The side of the house facing an alley features a privacy wall constructed of stone, brick, ceramic tile, and is capped with salvaged bowling balls.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS OCTOBER 2, 2024 HR-2024-111352 ROBERTSON/STUART & MAIR HISTORIC DISTRICT 1003 EAST 8TH STREET 11.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a second housing unit. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS DESIGN STANDARDS Construction of a detached housing unit at the rear of the property to create a two-unit development on the plot. The second unit has a two-story design and is proposed to be located at the rear of the driveway at the southeast corner of the lot. The Robertson/Stuart & Mair Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction The design of the proposed second housing unit is contemporary, and generally blends well with the main house, which was constructed outside the period of significance for the neighborhood. Its location is at the rear corner of the lot, which creates a larger setback than its neighbors, but the proximity from building to building is a far enough distance to allow each to be read as separate, distinct and also does not read as an attached addition. Though the design can’t be described as compatible with historic resources in the district in terms of setback or material cladding, it does fit with the non-contributing main house. The second housing unit closely aligns with the ceiling height of the main house at both floors. The grade changes in this section of the district make it difficult to read even one-story contributing structures as being level, but the proposed floor grades are typical of neighboring properties. The cladding material is set at a vertical orientation, which is not typical among the surrounding properties. For entry and orientation, the unit faces the street, like the main house, and features a side porch that does not seek to inappropriately emulate a front porch that would be more fitting closer to the street. Summary The project mostly meets the applicable standards. COMMITTEE FEEDBACK Per the local district design guidelines, a contemporary appearance is permitted, and, in this case, fits well with the main house currently on site. The design appears to be slightly tall, but it conforms to the 32-foot maximum height allowed by the design standards. Overall, a compatible design for this lot and size. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the application. LOCATION MAP 11.0 – 2 PROPERTY INFORMATION Photos 11.0 – 3 Google Streetview, 2024
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS OCTOBER 2, 2024 HR-2024-122011 THOMAS CRANFILL HOUSE 1901 CLIFF STREET 12 – 1 Construct a rear deck, fireplace, and pergola. Infill one rear window. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Expand existing wood deck at south (rear) elevation. 2) Construct new metal pergola and outdoor fireplace at rear of house. 3) Infill existing window at south elevation. PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STANDARDS One-story Modern house with compound hipped roof, stained cedar board-and-batten siding, and undivided picture and casement windows of varying horizontally oriented configurations. 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 1. General standards The proposed project infills one historic-age window and replaces another with doors and a central full-height window. 4. Exterior walls and trim Proposed infill material will match the existing vertical siding. 5. Windows, doors, and screens The proposed project infills one rear casement window, a modification which does not appear to be required by the deck addition. A previously approved window modification at the south elevation compatibly converts a window to an access point for the deck, which enhances functionality while retaining the existing window rhythm of the house. Non-destructive, removable enclosure of the remaining window from the inside of the building should be considered if feasible. Residential additions 7. Porches and Decks The proposed deck is low in profile and will not be visible from the street. The proposed metal trellis does not appear to be visible from the street or above the house’s roofline. The proposed fireplace is detached and appears to be an easily removable site appurtenance. Summary The project mostly meets the applicable standards, except for the window infill. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approve the application but strongly encourage retention and/or non-destructive, removable enclosure of the rear window from the inside of the building rather than infill.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS OCTOBER 2, 2024 HR-2024-121988 GRAVES HOUSE 2 GREEN LANES 13.0 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS wraparound porch. ARCHITECTURE Construct a rear addition, restore fixtures to historic appearance, remove second floor addition and create balcony at front. 1) Demolish southwest corner of ground floor and rebuild with expanded footprint, creating a kitchen, family room, and 2) Demolish non-historic second floor addition above current garage. 3) Recreate elements of the 1937 design and construct a second-floor space at the front that adheres to historic drawings. 4) Restore all wood windows. 5) Replace garage doors with assemblies more aligned with original drawings. The Graves House is a 1938 Colonial Revival House designed by local architect H.F. Kuehne in the Old West Austin Historic District. Original drawings show a main symmetrical house with a center door along with a garage wing with a two-car garage and second floor featuring dormer windows above it. Later alterations saw a second floor constructed above the garage that eliminated the dormers and created a front facing gable, which is the current appearance. The main house has remained largely the same, with the center door bracketed by columns and shuttered windows. The second-floor features three windows matching those below. Exterior cladding is brick, and the main house has a side gabled roof clad in composition shingle. At the rear, a sunroom is present and in the original drawings, though the sunroom’s windows appear different and may have been replaced. The Graves House was designated historic by the City of Austin in 2004. 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 historic landmarks. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Repair and alterations 1. General standards Alterations are proposed to the second floor of the garage wing’s front elevation, which are based off original design drawings from the architect. Aside from this major alteration, work proposed in this section is largely repair or replacement of non-original material with a more appropriate appearance. 3. Roofs Current roof is composition shingle, and the application proposes replacement in-kind due to deterioration. Replacement of roof eaves, where needed, are in-kind and will not change their appearance. 4. Exterior walls and trim Brick is proposed to be patched and repointed, in keeping with Standards …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS OCTOBER 2, 2204 SB-2024-086522 / SB-2024-086516 CONGRESS AVENUE HISTORIC DISTRICT 312 ½ CONGRESS AVENUE 14.0 – 15.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Install several types of signage on a contributing building. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Install signage on the Congress Avenue-facing elevation of a two-story commercial building that contributes to the district. The signage types and locations are the following: 1) Cabinet sign above the ground floor and between medallions, installed into masonry. Non-illuminated. 2) Blade sign at ground level, installed at transom height and projecting out towards Congress Avenue. Non-illuminated. 3) Vinyl signage attached to all second-floor windows, fit around muntins. 4) Vinyl signage attached to storefront and transom window on one bay of ground-floor. ARCHITECTURE The Downtown Austin historic resource survey calls the building at 310-312 Congress Avenue an Italianate commercial structure and part of a two-part commercial block. The design is simple and straightforward, with façade split into three bays. The middle bay serves as a recessed entry with large, glazed storefront windows on either side. Above, the second- floor features three large 4/4 windows that appear to be operable and likely either original or based heavily on an original design. The cornice line features modest dentils and brick patterns that very slightly project from the rest of the façade below. Between the two floors, metal medallions in the shape of lion’s heads are present that may have previously anchored an awning or sidewalk covering. DESIGN STANDARDS The City of Austin Signage Guidelines are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Number of Signs: The Commission allows one sign per building, unless the building has multiple tenants; in this case, the Commission may allow one sign per façade module, if the façade modules correspond to tenant spaces. The Commission may also allow one sign for each street frontage if the building is at an intersection. A single directory sign is appropriate for a large building with multiple tenants. The Commission and HPO allow one sign per building unless there are multiple tenants. The two-story design of this building implies a two tenant, upstairs/downstairs type of use, so more than one sign may be approvable. However, all signage proposed is for one tenant. While two of the signage types are vinyl and attached to the windows, the cabinet and blade signs are proposed to …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS OCTOBER 2, 2024 HR-2024-097641 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 1703 NEWNING AVENUE 16.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a residence on a currently empty lot. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The proposal is construction of a new, single-family residence on a previously subdivided lot. RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS The lots now listed as 1701 and 1703 Newning Avenue were subdivided in 2010 for the purpose of constructing two single- family houses. Previously, a single residence was constructed in the mid-1940s, and demolished in 2006. Since that time, the land has remained undeveloped, with remnants of the original slab foundation present. There are records of renters living at this address as early as 1916, but no record could be found about buildings or structures on the site. 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. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location The street setback is generally consistent with the neighborhood, and although several structures on the street in the immediate vicinity are non-contributing newer builds, the proposed structure is in line with them. 2. Orientation Proposed construction is oriented towards the street, similar to contributing buildings in the neighborhood. The front door faces the street, though it is inset from the front carport, which dominates the right half of the front elevation. 3. Scale, massing, and height Many of the structures on the block, which are recent construction or are non-contributing, are two stories in height, like the proposed design. However, this height is not consistent with the larger neighborhood, which is largely single-story. Contributing houses are generally simple and rectangular in plan, often with rear additions for additional square footage. Due to the elevation changes in the neighborhood, second floors aren’t uncommon, but they are commonly found in the form of basements or lower floors at the back of a property. The design of the proposed project is not consistent with this, with the two-story section projecting towards the frontmost part of the house. An attached carport is attached to the side, and a rooftop shade assembly increases the maximum project height further. 4. Proportions District character is horizontal in detail, with lapped siding and wide front elevations with modestly pitched gable- or hipped- roofs are typical. The …

From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Fahnestock, Sam; Historic Preservation Office #HR–2024-097641 Monday, September 23, 2024 9:50:43 PM Some people who received this message don't often get email from important . Learn why this is External Email - Exercise Caution Hello Historic Landmark Commissioners, My husband and I, Marc St Raymond, wanted to write to you in support of the project that has been proposed on the vacant lot at 1703 Newning Avenue. Several years ago we bought a home on Academy Drive, one of the cross street’s with Newning. While we appreciate many of the historic properties within Travis Heights, we were attracted to the Travis neighborhood in part due to its mix of residential styles and evident investment that people are putting into this community. We believe that the mix of old homes and new, with varying styles of each, adds to the visual character of the neighborhood and serves it better than lots sitting empty or older homes being neglected. With respect to the new homes, we much prefer the unique styles this builder has taken with each of their projects we have seen within the neighborhood. We have no doubt that the quality of their projects contributes positively to the value of surrounding homes. Although not an historic design, we believe this project would be a welcome addition to the area and see no reason why it should see any delay in being built, especially given it sits on an empty lot between other new homes. We’d much rather have their beautiful new design as a neighborhood than an empty construction site. Thank you for your consideration, please let us know if you have any questions! Sincerely, Evan Alicia Skiera-St Raymond (She/her) 607 Academy Drive 512.744.3522 CAUTION: This is an EXTERNAL email. Please use caution when clicking links or opening attachments.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS OCTOBER 2, 2024 DA-2024-089522 WEST DOWNTOWN AUSTIN HISTORIC DISTRICT 810 WEST 11TH STREET 17.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a contributing property. ARCHITECTURE A wide, double-pitch side-gabled roof dominates the front façade of the house. A dormer vent is present at the center located above and behind a small gable overhang above the front door, which features a modest pair of brackets on either side of it. There are windows on either side of the brackets, and, while similar in size and material, do not match and provide a small amount of asymmetry to the elevation. The windows have been replaced with newer units and feature nonfunctional shutters. There is a concrete porch held two steps above ground in front of the door, with a simple metal handrail all around. The foundation is pier-on-beam, with a vented crawlspace underneath the floor. The house is almost entirely clad in buff brick in good condition, except for the side dormers, which are clad in wood lap siding with vents also present. RESEARCH The house at 810 West 11th Street was built in the early-to-mid 1930s, and the long-term owners for over 20 years were Joseph & Ida Kasper. The former was a furrier and owned a business at 109 East 9th Street in downtown Austin. While living at the address, they housed their children while they studied at the University of Texas. The son, Albert, was a dentistry student who left school to serve in World War II and finished his degree upon his return, graduating in 1945. Their daughter, Beatrice, graduated from university and became a teacher at Baker Junior High School in Hyde Park. She married Stewart Barnett in 1947 and they lived together in the house before moving out sometime after 1949. In 1987, the residence was converted to office use, and has continued in this function to present day. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the West Downtown Austin National Register 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 is a good example of an intact minimal traditional bungalow in the district. b. Historical association. The property does …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS OCTOBER 2, 2024 HR-2024-102958 OLD WEST AUSTIN HISTORIC DISTRICT 1703 WEST 32ND STREET 18.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a second story addition at rear of house. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Limit demolition to interior walls on the first floor, as well as a portion of the roof. Construct a second-floor addition set at the back half of the existing house, approximately 1100 square feet in size, including a rear overhang covering a porch. The proposed addition will not exceed the current width of the house. The addition is proposed to have a front facing, standing seam gabled roof set at a matching pitch to the current house. The walls of the addition feature vertical cement fiber siding, roughly matching the existing gable at the front entry of the house. Fenestration at the side and rear matches the existing in size and style, with the front of the second-floor addition featuring five horizontal windows that will have little-to-no visibility from the street. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Existing house is a single-story ranch that is features a broad, low-angled front gable at the right three quarters of the front elevation, clad in non-original standing seam metal roofing. The walls are mostly clad in horizontal wood siding, except for the front gable, which has a board-and-batten design. None of the windows, front door, or garage door appear to be original. Despite this, the spatial arrangement of the original design, including front door location, front windows, and front porch are all in their original location and the house retains this integrity. The property at 1703 West 32nd Street had several owners since its construction, including Raymond & Marjorie Burdett, and Steven Marcus, with both families residing in the house for over a decade each. The Burdetts were the original owners, with Raymond Burdett working as an electrician in numerous positions from the 1950s through the 1970s. Steven Marcus owned the house from 1980 through the 1990s, at which time he worked as an associate professor at the University of Texas. Between these two owners, Joseph and Theresa Carter rented the house for a brief period of the late 1970s. Joseph Carter was an examiner for the State Board of Water Engineers in Austin. While he was featured as a guest speaker for events and had numerous mentions in local newspapers, these were from earlier in his career, prior to …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS OCTOBER 2, 2024 HR-2024-111332 OLD WEST AUSTIN HISTORIC DISTRICT 2510 WOOLDRIDGE DRIVE 19.0 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a second-floor addition. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Create an addition above a guest bedroom and carport at the side of the house, which will be visible from the street. The addition is not proposed to exceed the current ground-story footprint and will be clad in matching materials to the existing. A front balcony is also proposed which will not match the second-floor gallery present at the opposite side of the house. Roof structure and cladding are to match the existing, though the overall height will be slightly taller. A rear exterior stair is to be built to for access. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH The property at 2510 Wooldridge Drive is a two-story L-shaped house with minor Italianate features, such as a second-floor gallery, large operable shutters, and modest overhangs. The roof is a moderately pitched front and side gable that follows the L-shape of the footprint. The second floor is slightly shorter on one end, and the ground floor features an additional wing for a carport and ground floor guest bedroom. The ground floor is brick in construction and the second floor is clad in wide horizontal wood siding. Both floors are painted in a cream color. Upon construction in 1941, the house was owned by Jack & Frances Ritter. Jack Ritter worked as an agent for several oil companies, but soon sold the house to Elmer & Virginia Baum, who owned the house for around 50 years into the 1990s. Elmer Baum worked as a physician at Austin Osteopathic Clinic, but his additional service on the state health board brought him recognition across Texas. In 1952 to 1953, he served as president of the Texas Association of Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons, which also included giving lectures, attending national conferences, and advocacy of the public health across the state. In 1969, Baum was selected to be the Chairman of the Texas State Democratic Party, a role that he was nominated for by then-governor Preston Smith. The Baum family continued to own the home after Elmer’s retirement at the end of the 1980s. 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 …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS OCTOBER 2, 2024 HR-2024-106503 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT 1106 TRAVIS HEIGHTS BOULEVARD 20.0 – 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 …
