for same with the Planning & Zoning Commission of the City of Grapevine, Texas as
required by State statutes and the zoning ordinances of the City of Grapevine, Texas and
all the legal requirements, conditions and prerequisites having been complied with, the
case having come before the City Council of the City of Grapevine, Texas after all legal
notices, requirements, conditions and prerequisites having been complied with; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Grapevine, Texas at a public hearing
called by the City Council did consider the following factors in making a determination as to
whether this requested historic landmark subdistrict designation should be granted or
denied; safety of the motoring public and the pedestrians using the facilities in the area
immediately surrounding the site; safety from fire hazards and measures for fire control,
protection of adjacent property from flood or water damages, noise producing elements
and glare of the vehicular and stationary lights and effect of such lights on established
character of the neighborhood, location, lighting and types of signs and relation of signs to
traffic control and adjacent property, street size and adequacy of width for traffic
reasonably expected to be generated by the proposed use around the site and in the
immediate neighborhood, adequacy of parking as determined by requirements of this
ordinance for off-street parking facilities, location of ingress and egress points for parking
and off-street locating spaces, and protection of public health by surfacing on all parking
areas to control dust, effect on the promotion of health and the general welfare, effect on

WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Grapevine, Texas does find that there is
a public necessity for the granting of this historic landmark subdistrict, that the public
demands it, that the public interest clearly requires the amendment, that the zoning
changes do not unreasonably invade the rights of those who bought or improved property
with reference to the classification which existed at the time their original investment was
made; and does find that the historic landmark subdistrict designation lessens the
congestion in the streets, helps secure safety from fire, panic and other dangers; promotes
health and the general welfare; provides adequate light and air; prevents the overcrowding
of land; avoids undue concentration of population; facilitates the adequate provisions of
transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks and other public requirements; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Grapevine, Texas has determined that
there is a necessity and need for this historic landmark subdistrict designation and has also
found and determined that there has been a change in the conditions of the property

property was originally classified; and, therefore, feels that historic landmark subdistrict
designation for the particular piece of property is needed, is called for, and is in the best
interest of the public at large, the citizens of the City of Grapevine, Texas and helps
promote the general health, safety, and welfare of this community.

This unusual building with a vaguely Georgian appearance served as the office building for the lumber com-
pany. The main entrance was located in the center of the north gabled wall.Above the entrance was a semi-
circular window,centered in the gable.An overhanging roof projected two feet beyond the walls with two foot
cornice returns.Storefront windows were located to the left and right of the doorway.Two lumber storage
sheds flanked the original office building on the east and west. Original clerestory windows punctuated the side
walls of the building(see below).

Later,this building was added on to along the east side.The original building design was duplicated and
enlarged to form a new addition.A central covered passage way was added between the old and new structures
enabling customers to enter either portion of the building.In 2000 the building was known as Ravioli's Restau-
rant..
A fire destroyed the Wm. Cameron&Company buildings in April 2012 creating a public safety hazard. The
building was demolished shortly after the fire occurred with the requirement that the property be landmarked

and new construction would replace the historic building that had occupied the site for over 95 years. The
building destroyed by fire was 3,772 sq. ft. The building lot is 16,610 sq. ft.

Statement of historical and cultural significance. Include: cultural influences,special events and important personages,influences on
neighborhood,on the city,etc.
Block 32,Lots 1-A and 1-B were sold in 1917 by C. C.Estill,whose office was on Main Street and who was also in the
lumber and construction business,to Wm. Cameron&Company for a new lumber company site.
This building,constructed ca. 1917,was the local retail office of Wm.Cameron&Company,that was organized in 1867
and headquartered in Waco,Texas. By 1899,Wm.Cameron&Company had retail lumber yards in nearly all the major
cities in Texas and employed 3,000 men in the state. While this building appeared to be brick,it was actually a wood
frame building covered with a"brick look"composite siding.
Cameron Homes were built in Texas during the late 1930s through the 1960s. Known as economy homes,they offered
working class citizens the opportunity to own their own modern homes at an affordable price. Cameron Homes were
built to exact specifications set by Wm.Cameron&Company,and all plans and specifications met the Federal Housing
Administration and the Veteran's Administration requirements for quality materials and workmanship.
Cameron Homes were sold on"Easy To Own"plans known as ETOs. The main requirement to quality for an ETO
was that the purchaser owned his own lot outright and used it for collateral. The Cameron Company carried the loan on
the ETO plan. Home prices were presented in either all-lumber or brick veneer designs,with prices ranging accordingly
beginning at$2,070.20 for the shell house. Monthly payments as low as$15.14 per month plus taxes and insurance were
routinely advertised in The Grapevine Sun.

Wm.Cameron&Company earned the loyalty of Grapevine area customers. Its"Ideal Products Co."wholesale division
offered a variety of"modern" convenience products constructed of high quality Ponderosa pine which could be installed
in the Cameron Home. These products,manufactured in Waco,included four models of ironing boards which folded
EXHIBIT"A"TO ORD. NO. 2012-48
Page 8 of 11
into the wall,a bathroom cabinet with a built-in pull-down clothes hamper,and an Ideal telephone cabinet to keep your
phone"out of the way and always handy." With custom high quality"work zoned"cabinets which could be"scientifi-
cally arranged," Cameron set the standard for the modern home in Grapevine.
Wm.Cameron&Company built 52 homes in one year in Grapevine during the mid 1960s according to Lloyd Graves,
assistant manager from 1946 to 1986. One"Texan"model home was constructed at the corner of Main and Franklin
Streets and was purchased and later moved to Jean Street. Cameron also offered a program to completely remodel and
modernize existing homes. Men who worked for Wm.Cameron&Company adhered to rigorous Cameron building
specifications and created a generation of builders whose craftsmanship was unmatched. Cameron's high quality homes
from an earlier day continue to provide local housing.
In 1954 Cameron built a new lumber yard at 701 South Main(now the Grapevine Heritage Center).Wm.Cameron&
Company was purchased about that same time by the Certain-Teed Products Corporation and ceased operation as Wm.
Cameron Company in Grapevine. The building on East Worth Street was subsequently used for a church,cabinet shop,
children's clothing shop,and several restaurants.

Cameron Lumber Building
116 (120) East Worth Street, photo 2002
Lot 32 Blocks 1-A and 1-B are located at the southeast corner of East Worth Street and Jenkins
Street in the College Heights National Register Historic District that was designated in 1996. This
site has been a commercial property site since 1917. The lot is one block east of the Main Street
Historic District also listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The original site plan can
be seen on 1935 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map.
This unusual building with a vaguely Georgian appearance served as the office building for the
lumber company. The main entrance was located in the center of the north gabled wall. Above
the entrance was a semi-circular window, centered in the gable. An overhanging roof projected
two feet beyond the walls with two foot cornice returns. Storefront windows were located to the left
and right of the doorway. Two lumber storage sheds flanked the original office building on the east
and west. Original clerestory windows punctuated the side walls of the building (see below).

Later, this building was added on to along the east side. The original building design was
duplicated and enlarged to form a new addition. A central covered passage way was added
between the old and new structures enabling customers to enter either portion of the building. In
2000 the building was known as Ravioli's Restaurant.
A fire destroyed the Wm. Cameron &Company buildings in April 2012 creating a public safety
hazard. The building was demolished shortly after the fire occurred with the requirement that the
property be landmarked and new construction would replace the historic building that had
occupied the site for over 95 years. The building destroyed by fire was 3,772 sq.ft. The building
lot is 16,610 sq.ft.
Block 32, Lots 1-A and 1-B were sold in 1917 by C. C. Estill, whose office was on Main Street and
who was also in the lumber and construction business, to Wm. Cameron &Company for a new
lumber company site.
This building, constructed ca. 1917, was the local retail office of Wm. Cameron &Company, that
was organized in 1867 and headquartered in Waco, Texas. By 1899, Wm. Cameron &Company
had retail lumber yards in nearly all the major cities in Texas and employed 3,000 men in the
state. While this building appeared to be brick, it was actually a wood frame building covered
with a "brick look"composite siding.
Cameron Homes were built in Texas during the late 1930s through the 1960s. Known as
economy homes, they offered working class citizens the opportunity to own their own modern
homes at an affordable price. Cameron Homes were built to exact specifications set by Wm.
Cameron &Company, and all plans and specifications met the Federal Housing Administration
and the Veteran's Administration requirements for quality materials and workmanship.
Cameron Homes were sold on "Easy To Own" plans known as ETOs. The main requirement to
quality for an ETO was that the purchaser owned his own lot outright and used it for collateral.
The Cameron Company carried the loan on the ETO plan. Home prices were presented in either
all-lumber or brick veneer designs, with prices ranging accordingly beginning at$2,070.20 for the
shell house. Monthly payments as low as $15.14 per month plus taxes and insurance were
routinely advertised in The Grapevine Sun.

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 façade 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 yard and behind the front façade of a
property. Utilitarian/privacy fences should not be installed in front of a historic building or beyond the
line of the front façade 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. Usually, such renovations may date from before 1940.
EXTERIOR FINISHES
Original wood finishes should be maintained and painted or, when necessary, replaced in kind.
Modern synthetic siding materials such as vinyl or metal bear little resemblance to historic siding
materials. The application of such modern 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.

Page 7of9
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 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 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.
If metal storm windows are installed, paint to blend with surrounding elements.
EMBELLISHMENTS
AWNINGS-CANOPIES
New awnings and canopies should not be installed above windows or doors.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Lighting is an important element in residential areas. Fixtures should be consistent with the
Page 7
EXHIBIT"B" TO ORD. NO. 2012-48
Page 8 of 9
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. Judgement will be
based on the compatibility 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. 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 (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 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.
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.
