Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Kevin Smith Sunday, August 22, 2021 12:03 PM PAZ Preservation *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Commissioners and City Staff, As we are back in COVID‐19 Stage 5 restrictions, the volunteers and I did not feel it was prudent to potentially risk exposure by collecting signatures opposing the demolition of 2502 Park View Dr in person. Instead, like a lot of other things during the pandemic we turned to digital solution. We created a change.org petition, to help safely gather signatures. We also asked for the signatures of the petition to include their zip code so we have an idea of where the support for saving this potential local landmark with national significance. An added benefit of collecting signatures in this manner is it dove‐tails nicely with one of Local Landmark Criteria‐ Community Value. From the over 450 signatures of the petition, Thank you for your time and consideration. Kevin Attachments (2) CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

"We are already losing too much of Austin’s history in the push to develop and grow." Joe Reynolds Austin TX 78731 US 8/18/2021 "The houses of Air Conditioned Village are iconic artifacts of an important study, how to effectively include air-conditioning in single family homes. At the time of the study, air conditioning was limited to large places, like department stores, or movie theaters. Freon? Ammonia was the fluid used. Water cooling towers were needed to condense and recycle the refrigerant. How best to dispense the cool air around the house? How to insulate? There were many architecture and engineering issues. After the experiment more modern systems were designed, no more water towers; costs fell, soon A/C could fit into a window. The southern climate was conquered and life there changed.The houses are the equivalent of 1800s steam locomotives, or early 1900s airplanes, or 1958 transistors. They deserve national recognition and publicity." "This was a time in our country when hope and imagination contributed to the notion of air- conditioning in our homes would make for better and healthier lives. We have come a long way from the 1950's but this home should be cared for and not thrown on the heap of the past." "I have so many personal attachments to their house, having grown up across the street from it, but it’s also so important that we preserve this iconic example of mid century modern architecture." "This is a beautiful 50's house that belongs in my neighborhood. We don't want anymore farmhouses, compounds or mega-mansions in our neighborhood. Please preserve our beautiful fifties and sixties homes." "This was such a big deal for Austin. We must preserve it." "I believe we must keep these treasures rather than tearing them down and building new. Want to build new? Build elsewhere. There are plenty of empty spaces waiting." "Chris is a noble human being - things that matter to him, should matter to us all" Kate Harrington Melinda Vaughan Caroline Reynolds Mary Conmy Austin Fort Worth Austin Richmond TX TX TX VA 78756 US 76119 US 78731 US 23223 US 8/19/2021 "78756" 8/19/2021 "This is worth preserving. 76114" 8/20/2021 "Our past is important and part of our soul." 8/20/2021 "What a great house!" jacqueline smith austin TX 78757 US 8/20/2021 Shirlie Sweet Houston TX 77055 US 8/20/2021 Hilary Deweerd Austin 78757 US 8/20/2021 Pamela Turlak Austin Jana Bowen Houston 78731 US 77020 US 8/20/2021 8/20/2021 "History matters!" Bernadette Noll Austin 78704 US 8/20/2021 Beth McFarland New Orleans LA 70118 US 8/21/2021 TX TX TX TX "It’s important to preserve the past. The houses of today will not last. They are put up by unskilled labor, inspected by unskilled city employees and not maintained by clueless homeowners. The houses of the past that were build well by craftsman should be preserved to remind us of what we’ve given up." "we need to save historical significant architectural MCM houses globally" "We need to preserve Austin’s history and architectural beauty. We don’t need more non- descript black and white monstrosities." "I’m a preservationist and knocking down our recent past is an atrocious trend that needs to end." "We must save our Historic homes! This is a great example of a home that should be saved. Please give it Historic designation. There are plenty of lots around Austin to develop without destroying such a lovely home." "Architectural gems like this need to be celebrated, not destroyed. It’s long overdue that Austin start preserving what has made it special." "I'm an architect and a 55 year resident of Austin. It was a small town for so long, we have few examples of really good period architecture left. Please save this one!"

External Email - Exercise Caution *** Commissioners and City Staff, I am writing today to express my support in preserving 2502 Park View Dr. This is a unique home, not only for its excellent architecture (which was designed by local architect Fred Day); or it exceeding the requirement to meet two of the five criteria for local landmark status. It is unique in that this proposed local landmark has National significance through its association with the Austin Air Condition Village experiment which was sponsored in part by the American Association of Homebuilders and the results of the Village help guide Federal lending practices to provide mortgages to homes with air conditioning. In addition to help preserve this home; it will also help preserve an affordable home. The last redevelopment that occurred on Park View Dr, sold for almost 5 times its original purchase price. I believe doing a partial rehabilitation of the home’s historic features coupled with the using entitlements offered through the code, to build a substantial addition (sympathetic to the design of the home) is a win‐win scenario and would offer a buyer a truly unique one of a kind property.

As an excellent Modern residence, designed by a well‐known Austin architect, this house has significant historic and architectural value. In addition, it’s the best‐preserved home in the proposed Austin Air Conditioned Village Historic District and is also representative of the entire proposed District. The Austin Air Conditioned Village experiment was the first large‐scale and also largest project of test houses built in the 1950s to test the feasibility and affordability of air‐conditioning in homes affordable to middle‐class buyers. According to Preservation Austin, in comments to the Historical Landmark Commission, the Air Conditioned Village was not only a nationally‐significant study but also "an internationally‐renowned experiment in building innovation and social science." The residence is definitely the most modern in its design of the Air Conditioned Village houses, closest to the International Style of architecture and Arts & Architecture magazine’s Case Study houses, with a nearly flat roof and a very simple, clean execution. Other elements of mid‐century design in the house include site‐specific passive cooling strategies, clerestory windows, exposed roof beams, an asymmetrical, paneled facade, and distinctive patterned‐brick screening walls. The house is an early, outstanding example of architect Fred Day, who made a substantial contribution to Austin’s development. According to Preservation Austin, his "involvement in this high‐profile, and much celebrated project was an early victory in his 40‐year career.” A graduate of the UT School of Architecture, his contributions include the award‐winning Faulk Central Library, the Teachers Retirement System of Texas building, the Austin Doctors Building, the pro‐bono master plan and drawings for Laguna Gloria, and renovations to the UT Law School and Student Union. Notable buildings he designed outside Austin include the Visitors Center at the McDonald Observatory and the Hooper‐Schaeffer Fine Arts Center at Baylor University. He was president of AIA Austin and awarded an honorary Life Membership on the UT School of Architecture Advisory Council. He won multiple design awards from the Austin chapter of the American Institute of Architects and the Texas Society of Architects. This house, known as “The Air Temp” House, for its Chrysler AirTemp air‐conditioning system, is representative of the entire Air Conditioned Village experiment in several ways. All of the houses, including this residence, exemplify technological innovation in design and construction, with cutting‐edge climate‐control techniques. Each had experimental air‐conditioning systems with a variety of air‐distribution systems. They shared several heat‐reducing strategies as well, such as light paint, light roofing, and wall and roof insulation. 2502 Park View may have had the deepest overhangs at four feet, but the other houses had generous overhangs too. All of the homes were studied for one year for their impact on the residents. UT’s Psychology Department surveyed the inhabitants of the Village houses and area houses without air‐conditioning, comparing the daily habits of both groups, finding that the Village families slept more, spent more time inside their homes and had to clean less than the other group. The Air Temp house includes all of the important features of homes in the project. Mid Tex Mod, in its letter to the Historic Landmark Commission, states that the home “retains a remarkably high degree of integrity of design, materials, workmanship, and feeling as the most distinctive and intact original residence within the Austin Air‐ Conditioned Village development.” Fred Day produced a striking Modern residence, as opposed to other more conventional ranch 1 homes in the project. This early work of Fred Day, exhibiting excellent period architecture, should be preserved for our Central Texas community.

The experiment was to try various ways to install air conditioning, to determine what life effects it would have, to measure the electricity used to cool the houses - A/C was a change that resulted in housing booms in hot climate. Let me share my perspective. First, I have experience with experimental housing. During the mid-1960s I was leading a software effort at Tracor [Austin’s first ‘technology’ star and first ‘native’ Fortune-500 company] to use computer graphics to show what a future house would look like when inside/outside. At the time architects drew sketches of a building, and made detail ‘mechanical drawings’ of the structural elements. The computer graphics would be a big improvement over just showing a client plan-view drawings, and much cheaper than the sketches, or cardboard models in use. Computer graphics could be interactive. Tracor had professors from UT Architecture School consulting. That work got me involved in a 1969-1970 project called Ice City. Life-size experimental buildings were more useful than cardboard models, and could have ‘organic’ shapes. But, they needed to be discarded, and that was expensive disposal. So, Ice City would build the life-size models during freezing winter from ice-foam, which would just melt when the weather warmed. In 1970 we were doing what is now called 3-D Printing, but on a life-size scale. We also worked on ‘responsive rooms’ which was an attempt to have the building support activity occurring inside. We built instrumented rooms at what is now part of the Pickle Research center. My second perspective is that I’m old enough to have lived ‘before’ and ‘after’ air- conditioning. I was born December 1941. Our milkman in Dallas drove a horse-cart to deliver. By 1945 mom had a Servel brand ‘gas’ refrigerator; a little ‘pilot flame’ heated a bubble pump that compressed the refrigerant. To cool the house [best at night] there was a big fan in the ceiling of the hallway that sucked air in through the windows, and blew it out through the attic. The only cool buildings were department stores and movie theatres. Some still blew air across blocks of ice to cool it. That’s why air-conditioning capacity was once 1 Joseph Reynolds 2611 West 49th Member Allandale Zoning Committee Historical Commission Case: A.2 • PR-2021-064188 Aug.23rd 2502 Park View Dr measured in ‘tons’ [or tons per hour]. The stores and theatres [like the Majestic and Palace in Dallas] used an ammonia refrigerant and water towers to cool it for condensing back to liquid. [Freon? There was no Freon.] What worked for Neiman Marcus and Sanger Bros. would not work for houses. My dad worked at the Magnolia Building in downtown Dallas [It had the “Flying Red Horse” on top.] when it was air-conditioned and they had to find ways to get air ducts through the masonry walls. Our current house on 49th St was built in 1951, and when we bought it in 1979 still had the floor-furnace for heat and had three window A/C to cool. I installed a fan in the ceiling of the hallway to replicate what I knew from childhood as a way to cool at night. The 1981 Memorial Day Flood got water in the crawl space under the house and killed the floor furnace. As a result of the flooding we couldn’t replace it, so the house got ‘central’ A/C. All the ‘How-To’ for domestic central air-conditioning was worked out in the different designs of The Air-Conditioned Village. The work confirmed that there would be a residential market, so technology was invented and improved. Freon did get developed. And, they didn’t “do an Ice-City” on the ‘experimental’ houses to make them disappear – families lived there and kept them. That’s what you’re being asked to preserve. The houses, their purpose, and their past are what you are asked preserve. They are Historical. These houses are icons of a past time. They are like cameras from 1860s, like working steam locomotives from 1880s, like preserved 1905 airplanes, like Edison recordings, like transistorized computers from late 1950s. Cameras, and locomotives, and airplanes, and recordings, and computers can be kept in museums. A village is its’ own museum, if you preserve it Do your duty, protect this group of houses that document the change that made the ‘new South’ possible, air conditioning and how to use it in residences.

It's a lovely example of mid‐century modernism in home design use of newly deployed technologies. This home deserves preservation. It is also reflective of the mid‐century vibe of this particular part of Allandale. It would be a terrible loss to our community if it were not preserved. I live in a 1954 house a few blocks to the north of this property and have managed to update the interior without destroying the original design and aesthetic of the house. I believe this is possible at 2502 Park View as well. I would hope a commercially viable solution could be found that preserves the character and design of this important structure.

These houses are quintessentially Mid‐ Century. They were designed and built by the Austin builder Fabricon with a nod to the Frank Lloyd Wright esthetic. The component parts ‐ trusses, walls, storage modules, etc were all built off site at Fabricon’s headquarters and building center in south Austin and transported to the building site….an early modular concept. We had a home magazine photo shoot at our house (2505) within a year or two of moving in, which was 1954. I do have that somewhere and if you are interested, I will find it and email it to you. The family who lived at 2502 Parkview the longest was Gerald and Nancy Kelly and their two daughters Sheryl and Jill, who grew up in the house. Nancy was an artist ‐ an abstract expressionist painter who had studied with Michael Fearing at UT art school, and Gerald was an engineer. The house was decorated with danish modern furniture, much original artwork and mid century decor, very much the taste of an artist in that era. I spent many many hours of my childhood and young adulthood at their house. I surmise, since there is a movement to preserve this house as a significant example of mid‐century modern architecture, that there is some danger of it being torn down. I so appreciate the efforts to save it and pray that you are successful in being able to preserve it.

This property is part of the internationally renowned Austin Air-Conditioned Village. 2502 Park View Drive is an early, outstanding example of Austin architect Fred Day’s work. This property is the most architecturally significant home in the Air-Conditioned Village and City of Austin staff and its Historic Landmark Commission strongly supports preservation. The civic organizations Preservation Austin and MidTexMod have explained at length why allowing the current owner/developer to demolish this property would be a blow to the design community, not only in Austin but nationally and internationally. Austin proclaims itself to be a recognized leader in green building. If this is truly the case, the argument is compelling for the Commission to find value in preserving a home that is an early study in innovative cooling design. Thank You, Pam Rogers 7604 Melville Cove Austin, Texas 78749 Cell: (512) 968-6280 Hi! My name is Isabel Henderson and I'm a resident of Rosedale. I wanted to reach out about the proposed demolition of 2502 Park View Drive (C14H-2021-0164). This house is part of Austin's Air Conditioned Village and should be preserved as a historic house. It's a unique example of midcentury architecture and represents an attempt to combine design with what was cutting-edge technology at the time (technology that contributed to the development of Austin, the state of Texas, and the Southwest). It's been devastating to watch the houses in this neighborhood be demolished, one after the other. Sometimes it seems that there are entire blocks that are in the process of being razed and rebuilt. We have a responsibility to maintain unique historic homes (such as 2502 Park View Drive) in Austin—or we will regret not doing so, years down the line. If we don't, neighborhoods like Allandale will lose their history and charm, and start to look like any other overdeveloped, cookie-cutter neighborhood across America. Razing 2502 Park View Drive would be a blow not only to the neighborhood but also to the design/architectural community and archive. I cannot encourage you enough to designate this house as a historic landmark, and prevent its destruction. All the best, Isabel Henderson Dear Commissioners, I wholeheartedly support preserving this house (2502 Park View Dr. 7757) as a precious piece of Austin history and a neighborhood gem. I have lived in this neighborhood for 29 years and have long admired this house for its striking mid- century aesthetic. Once I learned of its important past as a prototype for modern air conditioning I have valued it even more. Please protect this important, though modest, piece of architecture and cultural history in Allandale. Carla Penny 2500 Albata Ave, Austin, TX 78757 To the Commissioners of the Zoning and Platting Commission - I am an Allandale Neighborhood Association Board member and chair the ANA’s Zoning, Planning, and Land Use Committee. More importantly, I am an Austin resident and your neighbor. I’m writing you regarding item C14H-2021-0164 and to ask that you vote to support the zoning change of 2502 Park View from SF-2 to SF-2-H, as the City’s own staff recommends. What makes Austin a destination community is not an aggregation of real estate transactions – including this proposed demolition -- but also our unique social community and its historical icons. The Air- Conditioned Village’s 2502 is such an icon and contributes to what makes Allandale a historically significant neighborhood. The Air-Conditioned Village was built to pilot new air conditioning technology in the 1950s. Besides the mechanics, the Air-Conditioned Village homes also showcased architectural design and construction practices to preserve and retain the chilled air. Those practices today are studied and applied in sustainable architecture. The Zoning and Platting Commission December 7th meeting takes place only a month after the Glasgow Climate Summit. Voting against rezoning such an environmentally relevant icon to SF-2-H would be ironic. Sincerely, Nathalie Frensley nathalie.frensley.civic@gmail.com To the members of the Zoning and Platting Commission: I support the preservation of the house at 2502 Park View Drive. The house is a beautiful example of the domestic architecture of the mid-twentieth-century, by a well-known Austin architect, and has significant historic value as a surviving element of the Austin Air Conditioned Village. My wife and I have enjoyed seeing the house on our walks around the neighborhood, and very much appreciated the tour of the Air Conditioned Village offered by MidTexMod a few years ago. I concur with the more detailed justification found in the letter of June 16, 2020, from Elizabeth Porterfield of MidTexMod to the Historic Landmark Commission. Please vote for the preservation of 2502 Park View Drive. Thanks for your kind attention. John Tate 2502 Albata Avenue Austin, Texas 78757 Council District 7 Please do not allow demolition of the house at 2502 Park View Dr., and designate it as a Local Historic Landmark. As part of the Austin Air-Conditioned Village and designed by Fred Day, this house is an important example of mid-century modern and passive house architecture that deserves to be preserved.
