HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS DECEMBER 14, 2022 GF-2022-138179 1800 GUADALUPE STREET 28 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH Demolish a ca. 1923 apartment building and detached garage. Three-story Colonial Revival-Federalist Style building composed of painted brick on the central portion of the building, wood siding on the side additions, and stucco on the front and rear porch overhangs. Hip-gabled metal seam roof with two chimneys, five dormers on the front of the building, four dormers on the rear, and a single dormer on each side of the building above small rooftop decks. 6:6 wood windows throughout except for 4, 12:12 windows on the front of the building, and a classic Palladian window with a simple masonry arch over the main entry with fanlight and sidelight. The building located at 1800 Guadalupe St was constructed as an apartment building sometime around 1923. The apartments were referred to as the Carmen Apartments from 1924-1959, per city directory research. Sisters Alice and Eunice Carman, daughters of Robert Clarke and Alice Carman, built the apartments for an estimated $18,000, according to a 1923 article. Alice Carman lived in and owned the building from 1952 until her death in 1962. It is remarkable that the property was built by two women in 1923. It was just shortly earlier in 1900 that every state had passed legislation granting married women the right to keep their own wages and to own property in their own name. The legal right of women to own and manage property is equal to men today, but full financial autonomy for women didn’t come about until late in the 20th century. It wasn’t until the mid-1970s that a woman could access a line of credit independently without a man to cosign her application. Ten years later, the courts ruled that a husband doesn’t have the right to unilaterally take out a second mortgage on property held jointly with his wife. Despite legal protections for property rights, women still struggle against a real estate gender gap. Research points out that women spend an average of two percent more than men to purchase a home and get two percent less return on their investment when reselling, a significant obstacle to economic parity that has yet to be overcome, and such inequalities may help explain part of the overall gender gap in wealth accumulation.1 Despite such inequalities, the Carman sisters built 1800 Guadalupe …

The house at 2203 E. Cesar Chavez Street, alternately addressed as 2203 E. 1st Street, was constructed around 1912 by carpenter W. Burt Haston. Haston and his family lived in the house until around 1920, when it was rented to a roofer and his wife. It was briefly owned by Amos Franklin, who worked as a teamster, before being sold to the Kuehn family around the mid-1920s. Paul Kuehn worked as a carpenter, while Emily Kuehn was active in the Lutheran church. Their children Albert, Hildegard, and Hertha also lived in the family home; Hertha was a nurse while Hildegard was a dental technician. Hildegard eventually married contractor Alvin Massey and the couple lived on the property with her parents in the 1950s.

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Install a new prefabricated pool with required enclosure in east side yard. DESIGN STANDARDS The Hyde Park Design Standards are used to evaluate projects within the historic district. However, the Hyde Park design standards do not specifically address site features; thus, the property may also be evaluated under the more general Citywide Historic Design Standards, which are used to evaluate projects in historic districts. The following standards may be used to evaluate the proposed project: Hyde Park Design Standards 1.2: Retention of Historic Style: Respect the historic style of existing structures and retain their historic features, including character-defining elements and building scale. The proposed project does not affect the existing building; however, the historic-age streetscape may be affected by the installation of the pool and/or fence at the building’s primary street frontage. 5.12: Fences: Design fences with materials that are compatible with the architectural character of the structure. Fences shall adhere to the regulations set forth in the Hyde Park Neighborhood Conservation Combining District (Ordinance No. 020131-20): 5. A fence located in a front yard may not exceed a height of four feet and shall have a ratio of open space to solid material of not less than 1 to 1.5. 6. This section applies to a fence located in a street side yard that faces an avenue and is greater than four feet in height. The portion of a fence that is greater than four feet shall have a ratio of open space to solid material of not less than 1 to 1.5. 7.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS DECEMBER 14, 2022 HR-2022-169818 TEXACO DEPOT 1300 EAST 4TH STREET 7 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Install 5 signs at the new portion of the building. Install one sign at the primary streetscape on the gate to the historic building. Restore existing historic-age signs. 1) Install a 10 ft2 face-lit sign at the top of each elevation on the new tower. 2) Install a 6 ft2 backlit steel sign at the rear entrance of the building, oriented toward the paseo. 3) Install a 9 ft2 indirectly lit steel sign on the front gate of the property. DESIGN STANDARDS 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 proposed signage plan includes one sign at each entrance and four around the top of the new tower. Sign Types: The Commission may allow window signs, awning signs, projecting signs, and flush mounted signs for most commercial buildings. Freestanding signs are allowed for office and retail uses in historic residential buildings. City codes prohibit the Commission from approving the following sign types: (1) rotating, (2) off-premises, (3) roof signs, (4) portable, or (5) signs which flash or blink at intervals. City code also prohibits handbills, posters, or placards on a structure except inside a window or on a bulletin board. The proposed signage plan does not include prohibited sign types. Sign Size: The maximum size for signs depends on the sign type: 2. Flush-mounted signs: 7% of the overall façade area, with a maximum height of 2 feet and a maximum size of 20 square feet . Large commercial buildings (over 3 stories): Cumulative signage may not exceed 40 square feet per façade and must comply with a signage plan for the building. The proposed flush-mounted signs are each within the 20 ft2 limit; however, cumulative signage is approximately 55 ft2. Sign Design, Coloring and Materials: Use simple shapes, such as rectangular or oval signs. The Commission recommends painted wood or metal signs with matte finishes for all signs; plastic, reflective materials, and unfinished surfaces …
