TO z-�� Page �_ of � Preface The early history of the Dunn-Barton House is not clear. The records of the Tarrant Appraisal District date the house to 1890 and the records of the Tax Assessor's Office date the house at 1903. The architectural�style of the house would be consistent with either date but deed records tend to support the latter date. However, this date may b�toa early as well. The earliest deed records, although hard to read, suggest that the property was sold by E.N. Hudgins to J.C. Dunn and J.W. Dunn in 1876 for$50:00. E:N. Hudgins (1814-1901)was an early Grapevine pioneer and founder of the town's Methodist Church. John C. Dunn, Jr. had arrived in Grapevine in 1856 with his wife and children, including his son Joseph William Dunn. In 1904, Fannie Estill and Nancy Dunn sold the property to O.R.Barton for$250. Nancy Dunn was the wife of Irenius Plata Dunn, who was the son of John C. punn, Jr. Fannie Esti�f was Nancy Dunn's aunt. Perhaps the house wss located on the property at that time or was constructed shortly afterward. -r �s ` ,s�y�""`�.'-",�" t .._, �. r��... �sn�a-�,s:r.:�-'�.-�s `^° -,^+•.,��- x ,,�g�, �� . r�" ...�' �-,.c;. ,.,� y <3 �'�, ��,. � .t �-�.�,��- 1„ r- ' ��'�"E�' �` �� §�1�.��ryc '�` ��p� � �-,. ,� �n�$' S.Ka.� . - � - i.�e�^ T - P/ �Z P � �F �s +.. �,y 3' �i"�} m '�., 'fii � f y".�° �,� .�t pfY�.��,�,�d`�f��X� � �� r�.a.f-f� .'�.`s � ��' � �.�,�°"��€��""��£�1�'3�E ,>{-r ��r� ' S � � � � � � � �� .

Barton sold the property to L.A. Barton. L:A. Barton sold the property tci Ruth Lee Barton in 1934. Ruth Lee Barton married Walter Behr and in 1942 the pair sold the property to G.H. McPherson. fn 1959, Ethei McPherson (a widow}, Alma McPherson Wilt and her husband C.C. Wiit, Otis and Marie McPherson, Lumas and Clara McPherson, and Dovie Page 3 . EXHIBIT� TO 1��,�!�.. Page Ot �_ � M.cPherson Crawford soid the property to Cecil H. Ford. Cecil and Mema Ford sofd it Rose �,: � Toon in 1962. The Dunn-Bartan House is a good local example of a common folk housing type with a slight variation. it 2ppears to be an L-plan house but the presence of a rear gable gives the ;:� structure a reverse F-plan. This rear gable rnay be an early addition to the property. The:� simple design of the house features little omamentation with the excePtion of the spindled_r porch cofumns and the full-width pent roof across the gable bay. This form of folk E�ousing' was popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In addition, the Dunn-Barton House and its associated garage are significant as contributing resources in the Original Town Residential Historic District which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. The house also was featured in the Tarrant County Nistoric . Resources Survey Selected Tarrant County Communities(published in 199Q). The Dunn-Barton House at 624 S. Dooley is an example of a simple falk housing form tha.t differs slightly from others of its kind. Fram the front or east elevation, it appears to be a simple L-plan house but a view of the south elevation indicates that it is actually a reverSe F-plan house. The Dunn-Barton House is a 1-story, wood-sided house with a cross gable roof coveted with compositi.on shingles. The facade'features a gabled bay on the right half of the buitding. Below the gable ends is_a full-width pent roof. Below the pent_roof are paired double huFlg wood windows. To the left of the bay is a hipped roof poreh supported by three spindled wood columns. A photo from the Tarrant County Historic Resources Survey (1990) indicates that this porch was screened at one time but the screening has been removed. Undecneath the porch are two entrances, one of the south wall of the ., i gable bay and one on the east waiL The doors are g�azed wood panel. To the left on the. �� east-facing door is one double hung wood window. The south elevation has two gabled bays. The right gable bay features a full-width pent roof. Below that are paired double hung wood windows. The left gable bay features two paired hung windows at the attic level: The first floor features a second entrance. This portion of the house may be an early addition. The space between the two gables has been infilied with a ribbon of four double hung wood windows. The rear of the building is largely unadomed and has two window openings. The north elevation features a projecting gable bay on the wesf half. This gable has a door at the attic levei with a stairway leading to the converted attic space. Left of the gable bay near the northeast corner is a single double hung wood window. At the southwest corner of the lot is a side gabled, wood framed garage with exposed rafter tails. Tax records indicate that a garage was constructed in 1934 but it is not known if this is the same building. A wood stockade fence Surrounds portions of the yard. The house is located in a sparsely developed area of a historic residenfial disirict. The proposed Period of Significance for this property is 1890-1904,the years documented with the County as being the construction dates. Ailowing this property to authentical{y tell its own story of its period and time, while reinforcing the historical period of significance with necessary preservation, rehabilitation and restoration, is the goal of the historic landmark designation. The preservation of original architectural features, especialiy windows, doors, porch and siding, is prefecred, rather than "madernizatian"or"updating"of older features, or imposing a false"histo�ical look"on newer features. The repair of original materials, rather than their repfacement can best preserve the historic character � �;s, ,,, of the propeity. If non-original materials are replaced,then care should be taken to install original (in- kind) materials. Repair and restoration is often more cos# effective than replacement, conserves energy and reduces the amount of t�ash added to landfills. Page 4 EXMtBtT_.�.._ TO .� � —� ... Pa9e .��.. of �... . New.construction (additions or rehabilitation)to the home shouid reflect the character of the home during its peciod of significance. Constructed for residential use, it's massing, roof shapes, porch �'"' ` con�gurations and materials that reflect the architectural character of the home during its historic period shouid be preserved. The design of any new architectural features shail have key etements of a primary histaric style already existing in the home and shall be clearly compatibie with and camplirnentary to its adjacent features. SITE Retain fhe historic relationships between buildings, fandscap'tng features and op.en space. Avoid rearranging the site by moving or removing buifdings and site features, such as walks;drives and fences, that help define the residence's historic�alue. - SETBACKS Building setbacks should be consistent with adjacent buildings or with the style of the building. Setbacks are an important ingredient in creating an attra.ctive streetscape. Buildings should be set back to a line that is consistent with their neighbots and land use. For example, a residential setback should retain the setback of adjacent and nearby structures, with fandscaping along the street right-of-way. Residentia! buildings with a commercial use in residential areas should be set back in a manner �,:� consistent with setbacks of neighboring or similar residential structu�es. Maintain building orientation pattern,with the front facade faeing the street. Maintain spacing patterns betvveen buildings. DRIVEWAYS, PARKING LOTS AND VACANT SITES ' Driveways should be lacated perpendicular to the street; no circular drives shall be allowed (unless proven with tiistoric documentation) in front or corner side yard, so that the character of the fandscaped yard can be reinforced. New parking lats for commercial uses.should not be located ad}acent to sidewalks in the district. OfF-streef parking lots shouid not be aliowed tQ interrupt the continuity ofi landscaped front or corner side yards. This is important to both the preservafion 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 Iocated adjacent to streets and sidewalkS may be screened to the heighf of car hoods. This will prqvide a certain level of continuity of the building fa�ade line; it will screen unsightly views; and it wiil provide a level of security by allowing views to and from the sidewa4k.. FENCES :�.,, Historicalfy, fences around historic houses defined yards and the boundary around property and gardens. Wood picket fences, woad rail fences and barbed wire or decorative wire fences were the Page 5 ExhiBir�2, ro ado -i�,,. Pa9e _...le._ Of " 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 approp�ate. Avoid chain-link fences,.privacy fences and concrete block fences for the street sides of prop�rty. Wood privacy fences may be allovved when installeci-in the rear yard and behind the front far�a�ie of a property. Utilitarian/privacy fences should not be instailed in front of a historic building or beyond the line of the front fa�ade of a historic buiiding. • Repiacing 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 materiaf, design and placement. If repiacement is necessary for non-historic fences, or new fences are propo5ed, Ioca#e and design the fence in such a way tF�at wiil compliment the historic boundary of the property without eoncealing the historic character of the property. S�RVICE AND MECHANICAL AREAS Service ar�d mechanical areas and equiprrient should be screened from the street and other pedestrian areas. AIC garbage and equipment storage areas shoufd be screened from fhe 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 detracf from the historic character of buildings. , �:,,;� BUILDING FABRIC PRESERVATION Preserve, stabilize, and restore original buitding form, ornament and materials. . Any missing or severely deteriorated efements 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. Ofte.n, "modern"�enovations 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: � f Preserve older renovatians that have achieved historic significance. Older structures or additions may have, at some time, been renovated with such care and skill that the renovation itsetf is �-- � worthy of preservation. Usually, such renovations may date from before 1940. Page 6 � EXHI8IT� T0 ' -// Page �.� of ° EXTERIOR FINISHES Original wood finishes should be maintained and painted or, when necessary, replaced in kin.d. Modem synthetic siding ma4erials such as vinyl or metal bear little resemblance tfl historic siding materials. The application of such modern synthetic materials often invoCves the removal of original decorative elements such as corniee, corner boards, brackets, window and door trim, etc. New synthetic siding sha41 not be installed; removal of existing such materials is not required, but strongly encouraged, to restore historic patina,.finish and appearance. Or'igi�al asbestos siding should be meintained 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 encoura�ed;to resta�e historic patina,�nish 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. Fain#colors should be complimentary to each other and the overall character of the house. Vlyhen possible, research the original paint color and finishes of the building's historic period; the right colors respect the historic building. �he 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 �2.,� by the Commission in the regular Certificate of Appropriateness process. WINpOWS Original window framing and lites (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 buiiding. 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. �. .,. If inetal storm windows are installed, paint to blend with surrounding elements. Page 7 EXMIBIT..IL� TO � � °a�"�� Page �� of � EMBELLISHMENTS ' ` AWNINGS-CANOPIES New awnings and canopies should not be installed above windows or doors. EXTERIOR LIGHTING Lighting is an important ele.ment 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 INFIl.L The Secretary of the Interior's guidelines for new buildings in historic districts encourage simila�ity of form and materials, but not actual replica.tion. New construction proposals and the rehabilita�tion of non-historic buildings wiii be reviewed based on these Criteria. Judgement will be based on the .t:,., .4 compatibil�ty of the design within the context of the property's 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. Oniy when a previously demolished historic Grapevine building can be accurately replicated may a reprod�rction be considered. Infiil buildings between historic t5uildings shouid be similar in setback, roof form, cornice line and materiats, to one of the adjacent buildings. Relate height of new building to the heights of adjacent struct�res. Avoid new buildings that fower over existing ones. Horizontal wood siding (either 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 shail never be used. ADDITIONS TO HISTORIC BUILDINGS Additions to historie buildings should replicate the style of the main building if possible; otherwise they should adhere to the general style with simplified details. �, q As a minimum, new additions should reflect the massing, roof shape, bay spacing, cornice lines and building materials of the primary structure. Page 8 � EXHIBiT_.LL__ TQ ��o� Page .__-�"�__, �f �_ All new wood or metal materials should have a painted finish except on some 20`h century buildings „ where the use of unpainted aluminum or steel was pact of the originai design and should be maintained. A new addition shouid, if at all passible, be located at the rear of the historic building. If this is not possible,.the ad.dition 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 o�d from new. New vertical addi#ions should be set back from primary facades so as not to be readily apparent from the facing street. When reproducing elements t�iat were originally part of a historic building fhey 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 sryle may be used. Historic photographs can provide icrformation on the original elernents of the buildin_g: Page 9
