ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS Construct an addition to a ca. 1951 house. Remodel the garage and replace doors and windows at rear of house.

One-story Ranch house with cutstone veneer, multilight sliding and casement windows, and front-facing garage. 4106 Lullwood Road was built in 1951. Its first occupants were Carl G. and Lois Shepard. Carl Shepard owned and operated a furniture distribution company located on East 6th Street. By 1959, it had been sold to rancher Earl Tucker, and to R. S. Merrill by 1970. 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 project removes some historic material from the building’s exterior. 4. Exterior walls and trim The proposed wood siding differentiates the new material from the old; however, it partially replaces some of the original cutstone cladding. 5. Windows, doors, and screens While most of the window replacements are at the rear of the building and are therefore appropriate, the replacement of a front window with a door is not compatible. 8. Attached garages and carports The proposed garage alterations somewhat maintain the existing proportions and roofline, though changes will be highly visible from the street. Summary The project somewhat meets the applicable standards. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Wilshire Wood 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 the vernacular Ranch style. b. Historical association.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS JANUARY 10, 2024 HR-2023-128292 OLD WEST AUSTIN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICT 3001 FUNSTON STREET 21 – 1 PROPOSAL Construct a new residence. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS DESIGN STANDARDS The proposed new building is two stories in height and capped with a compound shed and cross-gabled roof with decorative cedar brackets at gable ends. It is clad in board-and-batten and horizontal siding and features fixed and single-hung windows. The proposed garage is located at the secondary 30th Street elevation. 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 located roughly at the center of the corner lot. 2. Orientation The proposed new building’s orientation is consistent with the orientation of the previous contributing building. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed building is larger in scale and height and more complex in massing than nearby contributing buildings; however, its design utilizes step-downs in building form that helps to minimize the building’s overall scale. 4. Proportions Proposed proportions are somewhat compatible. 5. Design and style The proposed design and style is consistent, but only somewhat reflects the surrounding district. 6. Roofs The compound roof is more complex than contributing buildings’ roofs. The triangular brackets at gable ends may give the appearance of false historicism, though this may be mitigated by the rest of the building’s modern design elements. 7. Exterior walls Exterior walls are somewhat appropriate, though board-and-batten appears mostly on outbuildings rather than historic-age primary buildings. 8. Windows and doors Proposed fenestration is mostly compatible at primary elevations. 9. Porches The proposed porch is mostly compatible. 11. Attached garages and carports The proposed garage is set back from the front wall of the house. Summary The project meets some of the applicable standards. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Comment on plans.

The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location The proposed house is set back approximately 40’. 2. Orientation The proposed building is oriented toward the primary streetscape, with the carport facing East Mary Street. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed building appears consistent in scale and height with surrounding buildings, but its massing does not reflect the massing of contributing buildings in the district. 4. Proportions The building’s proportions do not reflect the proportions of nearby contributing buildings. 5. Design and style The building’s design and style are internally consistent, but the double gable and monumental stone massing components do not appear compatible with the district. 6. Roofs See 5. 7. Exterior walls The proposed metal cladding is not compatible, though the stone is somewhat compatible. 8. Windows and doors While the proposed second floor’s transparency makes it more compatible, the offset undivided windows at the first floor are not compatible. 11.

Repair and repaint upper-story pediments, replace deteriorated cornice details in-kind, repair and repaint storefront as needed. 2) Repair upper windows where possible, replacing in-kind where deteriorated beyond repair. Install new aluminum- 3) 4) clad windows in first-floor infilled arches. Install new metal awning at existing attachment points. Install new central-bay entry vestibule, set back 42”, to match existing flanking storefront windows. Install new light fixtures at entry. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Two-story stucco-over-brick structure with large arched openings at the street level and a deep pressed metal cornice. An awning installed in the 1930s has been removed, though connection points are evident. The building at 218 E. 6th Street was constructed around 1880. Its first occupant, the Gambrinus Saloon, was opened by O. Schubert and run by August Fuhrmann, though Fuhrmann’s stake in the business is unclear until the 1890s, when Austin city directories list him as the saloon’s proprietor. The saloon remained in business until after the turn of the twentieth century, when it became a grocer, a tire shop, and a furniture and carpet showroom owned by Felix Smith. After a brief vacancy, A. W. Brill opened a saddlery there in 1920 before purchasing his own building a block away. From the 1930s onward, the building was home to a variety of furniture stores: first the Gregory Furniture Store, owned by City Council- hopeful Tom Gregory; then the Brown-Sellers Company, operated by seasoned salesmen J.S. Brown and C.A. Sellers; then the short-lived Dayton Furniture Company, and finally the Craddock Furniture Company, who also owned the adjoining building. The building was later purchased by Dr. Ben Oran White, son of Councilman Ben White, and rented to a theater. 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: Repair and alterations 1. General standards The proposed project specifies that historic-age material will be replaced in-kind only …

Repair or replace clerestory, depending on level of deterioration. If replacement is chosen, use a window with divided lights similar to those shown in twentieth-century photos. The building at 505 and 507 East 6th Street were constructed in 1912 by Saidi Ferris on the site of an earlier store, owned by Ferris since 1905. Ferris, a native of Beirut and transplant from Nebraska, began his Austin business endeavors in 1898 with a grocery store at 500 East 6th. He later became one of Austin’s most influential businessmen over the course of his long and productive career. Ferris also showed support for the other Syrian and Lebanese merchants who helped to establish 6th Street as a mercantile hub in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. At one time the owner of the most properties on 6th Street, Ferris operated a dry goods store which grew into several extremely profitable department stores through the twentieth century. In the 1920s, Ferris handed the department stores over to his three sons and took up wholesale trading in New York; he weathered the Great Depression in Austin as director of the Chamber of Commerce. The 6th Street department store was sold to a regional mercantile conglomerate in 1942; Ferris passed away seven years later. During the 1940s, the building was an A&P; it then became a hardware store. DESIGN STANDARDS The design standards established by Ordinance No. 20230720-160 (July 2023) and based on the Citywide Historic Design Standards for properties in the 500 and 600 blocks of East Sixth Street apply.

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Construct a fully conditioned building behind the existing façade. 2) Clean and repair limestone as needed. 3) Remove non-original sconces and repair connections. 4) Remove non-original gates and replace them with a painted metal storefront, with the two middle archways as the new entryway with doors recessed 3’-0”. 5) Construct a new painted awning. ARCHITECTURE This building was built ca. 1898 but has since been reduced to a free-standing façade. At the time of the 1975 National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form for the Sixth Street Historic District, the six arched openings had contrasting granite voussoirs. The façade was articulated with limestone; the original cornice detailing remains. When it was built in 1898, the structure at 606 East 6th Street housed a candy factory and soda water bottling company. By the early twentieth century, it served as a creamery for a series of small companies. After a stint in the 1920s as the Texas Meat Company and Austin Sausage Kitchen, the building fell vacant for a short time. By the end of the 1930s, it had transitioned to a space for automobile-related businesses, including transmission and tire shops. Aerial photographs show that it was reduced to a windowless and roofless shell between 1965 and 1975. RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS The design standards established by Ordinance No. 20230720-160 (July 2023) and based on the Citywide Historic Design Standards for properties in the 500 and 600 blocks of East Sixth Street apply. The proposed project was evaluated based on the following applicable standards: Rehabilitate and adaptively reuse contributing buildings, including at least the first 15 feet of historic façades. The proposed project retains the existing historic-age material, removes non-original material, and builds behind the remaining façade, with minor alterations to historic fabric that retain the rhythm of the streetscape. The proposed awning is in keeping with other awnings during the district’s period of significance. Summary The project meets the applicable standards. PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Sixth Street National Register district. The 2022 Sixth Street Snapshot Resurvey lists the property as contributing to the historic district.

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS 1) Repaint existing painted areas at façade. 2) Removes the non-original wood walls covering the existing openings. 3) Remodel storefront based on photos showing the location of historic-age openings and proportions. The west bay of the proposed metal storefront includes a 42” setback to accommodate a new entry vestibule. Install clerestory windows with divided lite proportions based on 1975 photographs. 4) Repair and repaint the existing brick columns. 5) Repair and clean the original cast iron cornice. ARCHITECTURE 610 East 6th Street was built ca. 1872 and was once an auto garage, with two distinct bays and an ornamental metal cornice. At the time of the 1975 National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form for the Sixth Street Historic District, the structure consisted of two large bay openings with multiple doors and clerestory windows above. The façade was articulated with brick columns and a metal cornice. The brick and metal cornice are intact, though the building is open- air. The building at 610 E. 6th Street was constructed around 1872 according to the National Register inventory, though little evidence of its earliest occupancy remains. In the 1880s and ‘90s, it served as a mattress manufacturer and furrier, and by the turn of the century, at least part of the building was occupied by a collier’s office and yard. After a period of vacancy, it was renewed as an auto-oriented business in 1920 and remained so until at least the late 1970s. RESEARCH DESIGN STANDARDS The design standards established by Ordinance No. 20230720-160 (July 2023) and based on the Citywide Historic Design Standards for properties in the 500 and 600 blocks of East Sixth Street apply. The proposed project was evaluated based on the following applicable standards: Rehabilitate and adaptively reuse contributing buildings, including at least the first 15 feet of historic facades. The proposed project rehabilitates and adaptively reuses the building, restoring the historic elements of the existing façade in response to Committee feedback.
