HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS OCTOBER 5, 2022 HR-2022-084104 SEBRON G. SNEED HOUSE 6301 BLUFF SPRINGS ROAD 3.0 – 1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct an apartment complex around the Judge Sebron G. Sneed House ruins erected circa 1857-1860. 1) Construct a three-building apartment complex around the Sebron Sneed House ruins, providing a 25’ buffer zone between the ruins and the pool and other new construction. Proposed buildings are each three stories in height and display Mission Revival stylistic cues; they are clad in stucco and capped with hipped, tiled roofs. Columned arches accent the main entrance to each building. 2) Construct a fence around the ruins. Note: The applicant has provided 2015 correspondence, per Committee feedback, showing that former Preservation Officer Steve Sadowsky requested a mortar analysis and preliminary stabilization plan. The applicant specified that tuck-pointing and consolidation would be implemented following an observation report and recommendation from a masonry restoration contractor and the erection of a double steel fence around the ruins (see backup). RESEARCH & ARCHITECTURE The home on this site was zoned historic in 1979, with the surrounding area rezoned historic in 1980. The house was destroyed by fire in 1989, and the ruins remain. Travis County foreclosed on the home for taxes owed in 2002 and retained the property until a private owner purchased the site from the county in 2006. Invest SmartHomes Inc owned it from 2006-2009, then The Foresight Foundation from 2009-2011. Since 2011, the property has toggled ownership between the same companies: IndoPak Investments, Inc and The Circle at The Nelms. In 1854, Judge Sebron G. Sneed moved his entire family from Fayetteville, Arkansas, to his newly acquired 470-acre farm south of the present city of Austin. Construction of a permanent family residence was begun shortly after that in 1857 and continued for five years. War stopped the work, and the house, never entirely completed, lacked its intended porches and interior finishes.1 The stone for the walls was quarried on the property and finished by hand. Lumber for the floors, roof, and finish material was acquired from the Lost Pine Forest at Bastrop, Texas, 30 miles east of the residence site. A Historic American Building Survey (HABS TX - 399) dated 2/3/1937 described the house as follows: “ This native limestone residence is located one mile off the Austin-San Antonio Highway on the Austin-Lockhart Highway, near Austin, Travis County. …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS OCTOBER 5, 2022 PR-2022-123716 BUILDING OR DISTRICT NAME 608 E. 3RD ST. 31.0 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE Demolition of a circa 1880 single-family residential structure. 608 E. 3rd Street is a National folk style, hall-and-parlor family house. Hall-and-Parlor family houses are a British form that is traditionally associated with heavy timber or hewn log construction but were adapted to masonry and other types of construction as the style moved into timber-scarce areas. After the expansion of the railroad, the form was executed with light-framed walls and remained the dominant form of folk housing over much of the rural Southeast well into the 20th century. Hall-and-Parlor houses are typically one or one-and-one half stories in height and have side-gabled roofs; porches are either inset and covered by the main roof or are shed-roofed extensions. Shed-roofed rear extensions are common. The design was popular as many people could not afford a large house; however, putting up a wall in the only room created a smaller area in the rear of the house called a parlor. This was a private room and usually contained a bed. The East 3rd Street dwelling is a well-preserved example of late nineteenth-century National folk housing of the hall-and- parlor family with rear shed addition. It is a single-story dwelling with a full front porch with an “x” cross-stick railing design and a metal roof that was likely rehabilitation of previous designs. It has a side-gabled roof and wood exterior sheathing with a balanced, symmetrical front façade composed of a single-entry wooden door flanked by 4:4 windows. RESEARCH The property was previously approved for relocation across the street only in 2019. Such a relocation would have helped retain the structure’s original neighborhood context. There do not appear to be any specific historical figures associated with the structure, but rather this dwelling is a rare surviving in situ example of a middle-lower income historic housing from the nineteenth century in Austin. It provides insight into the changing patterns of Austin’s history as an example of the living location and conditions of lower to middle-income Austinites. PROPERTY EVALUATION The Waller Creek Survey lists the property as eligible for NRHP listing. 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).

The house at 2106 Matthews Drive, addressed originally as 2104 Matthews Drive, was built in the late 1940s. It was first occupied by Kenneth and Anne Shoudy, former residents of 2002 Scenic Drive. Kenneth Shoudy operated the Lake City Building Supply Company and may have sold the steel casement windows at the home’s first floor from the property.1 John Jr. and Beatrice Neethe purchased the home around 1951, adding a second story. John Neethe, Jr. worked as an insurance broker. The house became a rental property after Beatrice Neethe sold it to Edward Farron in 1953.2 Farron later moved to 2404 Scenic Drive.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS OCTOBER 5, 2022 HR-2022-122453 HEIERMAN BUILDING 115 E. 5TH ST. 6.0-1 PROPOSAL PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Alterations, demolition, and new construction of an addition to the existing 3-story commercial structure. 1) Demolish existing storefront assemblies; create a new custom storefront with metal framing and sill with new windows 2) Remove front façade side lites and salvage entry door; create a new recessed entry with the salvaged door. 3) Remove egress door and demolish brick infill on front façade 4) Windows are to be removed and replaced; existing openings are to remain 5) New rooftop steel frame construction with curtain wall glazing setback 20’ from the front facade. 6) Partial demolition of rear courtyard walls, all windows, roof enclosure, and structure. 7) Construct and install new curtain wall windows with divided lights, exterior balcony, blackened metal panel cladding, and enclosed area on level 1 in the rear courtyard. ARCHITECTURE The Heierman Building was zoned Historic in 1977. It was contracted for construction circa February 1887 by Tom Smith, Sr., with materials from M. Paggi and Joseph Nalle as the builder. It is a 3-story brick building believed to have been built initially as a commercial enterprise. Three walls were made of brick and one (west wall) of stone. It opened as the Provident Hotel circa 1890 and continued to operate as a hotel until 1923 (under various names). The family that ran it the longest was the Heiermans during its first 87 years hence the landmark name. Evidence suggests that the Hotel Provident had ten guest rooms on both the second and third floors. Rooms were single or suites and supplied with gas and electricity; closets and free bathrooms were provided on each floor. The rooms likely surrounded a central hall, and at least two rooms on each floor had a fireplace with a coal grate. Research suggests the upper floor may have been converted to support the weight of a machine shop in the 1920s, and lower first-floor walls were cut through to accommodate an automobile shop and showroom. A restoration was completed in 1974. The original façade was a symmetrical 6-bay Victorian storefront in front of a masonry structure. The original roof was metal with raised seams. 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 …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION PERMITS OCTOBER 5, 2022 PR-2022-123716 ROBERTSON-STUART MAIR 606 E. 3RD ST. 7.0 – 1 PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE Relocation of a circa 1880 single-family residential structure into a local historic district. 606 E. 3rd street is a circa 1880 dwelling of second empire style influences with a double-pile plan, and rear addition. There is the creation of a faux, centered wing, a common subtype of the second empire style, by the upper dormer and projecting porch below. The porch has a modest decorative spindle frieze with beads. The structure has a wood exterior with a wood- shingled straight mansard roof shape. Second empire is a rare style in the Southern states. Second Empire styling was particularly adapted for townhomes for it provided an upper floor behind the steep roof line, and made the structure appear less massive than most other styles with comparable space. The boxy roof line was considered particularly functional because it permitted a full upper story of usable living area or attic space. The second story and rear addition was added between 1880 and 1935, as indicated by the Sanborn maps. Second Empire was popular for a relatively short time from approximately 1855-1885, so it is likely the second story addition was constructed not long after the 1894 Sanborn map. Research indicates this structure continuously served two families or less but does not indicate a framed separation wall typically found with separate entrances. RESEARCH The property was previously approved for relocation across the street only in 2019. Such a relocation would have helped retain the structure’s original neighborhood context as opposed to a move outside its original neighborhood or demolition. There does not appear to be any specific historical figures associated with the structure, but rather this dwelling is a rare surviving in situ example of middle-lower income historic housing from the nineteenth century in Austin. It provides insight into the changing patterns of Austin’s history as an example of the housing style, type, location, and conditions of middle- lower income Austinites. 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 the Robertson-Stuart Mair locally designated historic district that has adopted the Historic Design Standards. The following standards apply to the proposed project: 1. General standards Relocation of this structure into the Robertson-Stuart …
