Elaborate on pertinent materials used and style(s) of architectural detailing, embellishments and site details. The former Foust Warehouse at 334 S. Barton Street measures approximately 30 feet wide by 100 feet deep (according to tax records). The 1 -story structure is on the west side of South Barton Street and sits close to the street. The building has a moderately - pitched gabled roof with slightly overhanging eaves. The roof is covered with corrugated metal, as is the exterior of the building. Utilitarian in design, the building was originally devoid of decorative detail. Entrances on the east side were surmounted by small shed - roofs. A shed - roofed extension is located on the southern half of the west end of the building. Renovations to the former Faust Warehouse were completed in May 2010 when the building became home to Cupid's Vault, a hand - crafted jewelry and gift store. An entrance with sidelights was added to the south elevation of the building. Flanking this entrance are sliding doors of corrugated metal with a cross -beam frame. A long pent roof of corrugated metal was installed rr% :t %t "9 f} 'i� D �- 05 �. €pion of - __Z1�_,.� above the entrance and the sliding doors. Accent lighting was added on the gable end above the pent roof. Two entrances on the east elevation were modified with the insertion of multi -light sidelights and transoms around new entrance doors. A single multi -light window is to the right of each entrance. A third entrance is located near the north end of this elevation. Foundation landscaping surrounds the building and a parking area to the south of the building is also landscaped. A six -foot high corrugated fence follows the north -south property line and partially obscures the extension on the west side. In addition, a six -foot high wood stockade fence runs the length of the property on the west side. 96. Historical Significance Statement of historical and cultural significance. Include: cultural influences, special events and important personages, influences on neighborhood, on the city, etc. J. (John) E. Foust arrived in Grapevine in 1880 with his widowed mother, Amanda, and his brother George. Only 19 years old, John established a business selling general merchandise and lemon ice (similar to a snow -cone) in a frame building. The frame building burned in 1889 and he moved his business to a brick building he had constructed farther north on Main Street In this larger building, Foust expanded his business. He bought out the interest of a coffin maker, J. M. Hamilton, and began stocking coffins in his store. (Young, pp 48 and 202). In 1892, at the age of 30, John married 15 -year old Daisy Adair Huitt. Mrs. Foust became an integral part of the business, especially when the firm expanded into the undertaking business. Mr. Foust became a licensed embalmer in 1917, After his death in 1926, Daisy, and her son, John Edward Foust II, continued to operate the business. The company, which became known as the J.E. Foust and Son Funeral Home, moved into the former J.E.M. Yates house at 523 S. Main in 1945 (Young, 48). The company is still in existence at this location. The former Foust Warehouse is located on land that was purchased from F. R. and Annie B. Groover by J. E. and Daisy Foust in 1893. A Sanborn Map indicates that there was a stable on this parcel in 1921. Perhaps this was where the Fousts kept their horse -drawn hearse. At that date, the map shows that Barton Street was little more than an alley directly behind the buildings on the west side of Main Street. The Sanborn Fire Insurance Map from 1935 indicates that the alley, then referred to as Barton Street, was much wider. The stable that appeared on the earlier map had been replaced with a long building constructed of corrugated metal. It was labeled as a warehouse but at the southern end of the building is the word "ambulance." It was not uncommon for funeral homes to offer ambulance services in the days before the establishment of public emergency medical services and Young's Grapevine Area History mentions that the Fousts operated such a service (Young, p. 48). Records of the Tarrant Appraisal District state that the Foust Warehouse was constructed in 1929 but records from the Tarrant County Tax Assessor's Office state that the building was constructed in 1934. The building remained in the Foust family until 1996. It was purchased by the current owner in 2008. The former Foust Warehouse is significant for its association with a family and business that was important to the development of Grapevine, providing a service that was essential for any community. Although utilitarian in nature, it is an excellent example of an early 20th- century building type that augmented the functions of commercial establishments in the years prior to World War II. 17.

Page 4 SITE Retain the historic relationships between buildings, landscaping features and open space. Avoid rearranging the site by moving or removing buildings and site features, such as walks, drives and fences that help define the residence's historic value. SETBACKS Building setbacks should be consistent with adjacent buildings or with the style of the building. Setbacks are an important ingredient in creating an attractive streetscape. Buildings should be set back to a line that is consistent with their neighbors and land use. For example, a residential setback should retain the setback of adjacent and nearby structures, with landscaping along the street right -of -way. Residential buildings with a commercial use in residential areas should be set back in a manner consistent with setbacks of neighboring or similar residential structures. Maintain building orientation pattern, with the front facade facing the street. Maintain spacing patterns between buildings. DRIVEWAYS, PARKING LOTS AND VACANT SITES Driveways should be located perpendicular to the street; no circular drives shall be allowed (unless proven with historic documentation) in front or corner side yard, so that the character of the landscaped yard can be reinforced. New parking lots for commercial uses should not be located adjacent to sidewalks in the district. Off - street parking lots should not be allowed to interrupt the continuity of landscaped front or corner side yards. This is important to both the preservation of historic character, and to the strengthening of the residential district. Screen existing parking lots from streets and pedestrian areas in the Historic District. Existing parking lots located adjacent to streets and sidewalks may be screened to the height of car hoods. This will provide a certain level of continuity of the building facade line; it will screen unsightly views; and it will provide a level of security by allowing views to and from the sidewalk. FENCES Historically, fences around historic houses defined yards and the boundary around property and gardens. Wood picket fences, wood rail fences and barbed wire or decorative wire fences were the common fence types in Grapevine. Traditionally, picket fences surrounded the front of the house while rail and wire fences surrounded the agricultural portions of the property. Maintain historic fences. New fences. Simple wood picket fences, wood and wire and wrought iron fences are appropriate. Avoid chain -link fences, privacy fences and concrete block fences for the street sides of property. Wood privacy fences may be allowed when installed in the rear Page 5 yard and behind the front facade of a property. Utilitarian /privacy fences should not be installed in front of a historic building or beyond the line of the front facade of a historic building. Replacing fences. If replacement is required due to deterioration, remove only those portions of historic fences that are damaged beyond repair and replace in -kind, matching the original in material, design and placement. If replacement is necessary for non - historic fences, or new fences are proposed, locate and design the fence in such a way that will compliment the historic boundary of the property without concealing the historic character of the property. SERVICE AND MECHANICAL AREAS Service and mechanical areas and equipment should be screened from the street and other pedestrian areas. All garbage and equipment storage areas should be screened from the street. Mechanical equipment, including satellite dishes, shall not be located in front or corner side yards or should be set back from the edges of roofs, and screened so that they are not visible to pedestrians and do not detract from the historic character of buildings. BUILDING FABRIC PRESERVATION Preserve, stabilize, and restore original building form, ornament and materials. Any missing or severely deteriorated elements may be replaced with replicas of the original. Ensure that roof, window, porch and cornice treatments are preserved, or when preservation is not possible duplicate the original building element. When rehabilitating, remove non - historic alterations. Often, "modern" renovations conceal the original facade details. If not, the original style may be recreated through the use of historic photographs. Where replication of original elements is not possible, a new design consistent with the original style of the building may be used. Reconstruction of building elements should reflect the size, scale, material and level of detail of the original design. Preserve older renovations that have achieved historic significance. Older structures or additions may have, at some time, been renovated with such care and skill that the renovation itself is worthy of preservation. EXTERIOR FINISHES Original wood finishes should be maintained and painted or, when necessary, replaced in Page 6 kind. Modern synthetic siding materials such as vinyl or metal bear little resemblance to historic siding materials. The application of such modem synthetic materials often involves the removal of original decorative elements such as cornice, corner boards, brackets, window and door trim, etc. New synthetic siding shall not be installed; removal of existing such materials is not required, but strongly encouraged, to restore historic patina, finish and appearance. Original asbestos siding should be maintained and painted, or when necessary, replaced with synthetic siding to match the existing asbestos siding. The removal of asbestos siding over existing wood siding is not required, but strongly encouraged, to restore historic patina, finish and appearance. Original masonry surfaces should be maintained and not be painted, unless severe deterioration of the brick or stone can be shown to require painting. If the color or texture of replacement brick or stone cannot be matched with existing, painting may be an appropriate treatment. Paint colors should be complimentary to each other and the overall character of the house. When possible, research the original paint color and finishes of the building's historic period; the right colors respect the historic building. The Historic Preservation Commission shall adopt., as necessary, a paint palette(s) appropriate to the district's character, which may be proposed and approved through the Minor Exterior Alteration application process. Any colors proposed outside the adopted palette may be reviewed by the Commission in the regular Certificate of Appropriateness process. WINDOWS Original window framing and Ii tes (panes of glass) configurations should be preserved and maintained or replaced in kind. When replacement is necessary, do so within existing historic opening. Replacement of non-original windows should consider the use of historically appropriate wood windows. Use same sash size to avoid filling in or enlarging the original opening. Clear or very slightly tinted window glass may be used. No reflective or heavily tinted glass shall be used. Should the owner wish to install security bars, they should be installed on the interior of windows and doors. Storm windows. The use of interior storm windows is encouraged. Storm windows are available which can be installed on the interior of windows. This helps to preserve the exterior historic character of the building. Should storm windows need to be installed on the exterior of the historic windows, storm Windows constructed of wood and configured to match the historic sashes (i.e. one over one sashes) are recommended. 090. 01 D If metal storm windows are installed, paint to blend with surrounding elements. EMBELLISHMENTS AWNINGS- CANOPIES New awnings and canopies should be designed to reflect the period of significance and follow the Design Guidelines established for Grapevine's Historic Commercial and Residential Buildings. EXTERIOR LIGHTING Lighting is an important element in residential areas. Fixtures should be consistent with the historic character of the house. Appropriate incandescent light fixtures to the style of the district should be used. Avoid exposed lighting of any kind unless part of a historic fixture. NEW BUILDING CONSTRUCTION INFILL The Secretary of the Interior's guidelines for new buildings in historic districts encourage similarity of form and materials, but not actual replication. New construction proposals and the rehabilitation of non - historic buildings will be reviewed based on these Criteria. Judgment will be based on the compatibility of the design within the context of the properties adjacent and nearby historic buildings. The design of new buildings should have key elements of the building's historic period of significance including massing, scale, fenestration and materials. Infill buildings should not be absolute reproductions, and appear as clearly contemporary. Only when a previously demolished historic Grapevine building can be accurately replicated may a reproduction be considered. Infill buildings between historic buildings should be similar in setback, roof form, cornice line and materials, to one of the adjacent buildings. Relate height of new building to the heights of adjacent structures. Avoid new buildings that tower over existing ones. Horizontal wood siding (novelty, tongue and groove, shiplap or equivalent) and brick are appropriate exterior building finishes for the historic house. Fake brick or stone or gravel aggregate materials shall never be used. ADDITIONS TO HISTORIC BUILDINGS Additions to historic buildings should replicate the style of the main building if possible; otherwise they should adhere to the general style with simplified details. Page 8 As a minimum, new additions should reflect the massing, roof shape, bay spacing, cornice lines and building materials of the primary structure. All new wood or metal materials should have a painted finish except on some 20th century buildings where the use of unpainted aluminum or steel was part of the original design and should be maintained. A new addition should, if at all possible, be located at the rear of the historic building. If this is not possible, the addition may be added to the side if it is recessed at least 18 inches from the historic building facade or a connection is used to separate old from new. New vertical additions should be set back from primary facades so as not to be readily apparent from the facing street. When reproducing elements that were originally part of a historic building they should be replicated when evidence of the actual detail has been documented by photographs, drawings, or remaining physical evidence. If no evidence exists, elements typical of the architectural style may be used. Historic photographs can provide information on the original elements of the building. Page 9
