This beautiful limestone house was built in 1949 by local builder John Champion for Dr. J. H. Miles, D.O., who came to Grapevine to establish his medical practice. The house is built in the minimal traditional style that was popular throughout post war America. The house style came as a compromise style that reflects the form of traditional Eclectic house, but lacks their decorative detailing. Roof pitches are low or intermediate, rather that steep. Eaves and rake are close, rather than overhanging as in the Ranch Style. Houses of this type were built in great numbers in the years immediately proceeding and following World War II. The house is built on a pier and beam foundation. A limestone veneer covers the exterior of the house. Roofing material is dark brown composition shingles. Many of the original wood windows remain intact. An inset porch to the left on the front elevation has been enclosed. The front door opens directly into the living room. The living room adjoins the dining room to the rear of the house. To the left is a large master bedroom with two windows facing Church Street. A small decorative stair- way leads to a second floor landing and storage area. To the left of the dining room are a hall and the kitchen. The kitchen contains an eat -in breakfast nook with sliding glass door leading to the back yard and brick terrace. The hall leads past the hall bathroom to a den on the south side of the house with access to the enclosed porch. A second bedroom and bath with shower are lo- cated off of the den. The surrounding property is heavily planted with both hardwood and flowering trees. Lush landscaping was developed over a 58 year period and was carefully tended by the Chambers. There are several outbuildings in- cluding a barn, two car garages, concrete storm cellar, small storage building and a wood framed greenhouse. The Miles — Chambers house is in good condition and can easily be adapted for today's living standards. The house is located adjacent to the B&D Mill and the Cotton Belt Railroad Industrial Historic District which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The house also overlooks the restored J. E. Keeling House where it is believed that Grapevine's City Charter was signed in 1907. 626 South Church Street Miles — Chambers House Hi torical Si,gnfcance Statement of historical and cultural sign fcance. Include: ailtural influences, special events and important personages, influences on neighborhood, on the city, etc. When Lake Grapevine was constructed in 1948 to 1952, Grapevine experienced a surge in population. Many workers on the project came to this area for employment and settled here. Other new citizens arrived to provide services for the growing community. These included a builder, Mr. J. H. Champion, who constructed this house and many others, and Dr. J. H. Miles, D.O., who came here about the same time to open his practice. Mr. Champion built this house for Dr. Miles. Mr. Champion, his wife and three daughters were well received community members and were active in the Methodist Church. Mrs. Alice Fuller, who resides at 504 West College Street, remembers the Champion fam- ily and Mr. Champion. "He hired my son, Pierce, to help him build this house. Pierce was only a kid at the time, but Mr. Champion let him assist him and he never forgot it," Mrs. Fuller says. Sandra Tate, who lived at 218 West College Street, remembers the Champion's daughter, Doris Champion Rawls. "She lived at Dooley and Texas Streets and attended the Methodist Church. I remember when Mr. Champion built the house for Dr. Miles. I recall his using the Austin Stone on the exterior. I thought it was unique for our area," Ms. Tate says. Dr. Miles' office was located at Main Street and Northwest Highway next to Dr. William Wilkerson's dentist office. Later he moved his office to 213 East College Street where he ran a small hospital. The Miles family owned this house until 1977 when it was sold to Claude "Lanier" Chambers and Vera "Fay" Satterfield Cham- bers. Fay Chambers' family members were early settlers to the Grape Vine Prairie, having moved here from Macon, Georgia. She was the daughter of Mattie Spinks Satterfield and beloved niece of John Spinks, local pharmacist. Fay and her mother Mattie moved back to Grapevine from Bowie in 1907 when Fay was an infant. Fay grew up in Grapevine. She spent many hours with her Uncle John in the drug store. Fay was a graduate of Grapevine schools and attended Trinity University in San Antonio. She taught for one ,) year at Pleasant Run School. After that, she was a pioneer in the clothing industry and was a buyer and mer- chandiser from 1928 to 1979 for Sanger Brothers, then A. Harris and finally Sanger -Harris Stores in Dallas. Throughout her career she met many of Dallas' most prestigious citizens and a number of movie stars including Rod Taylor, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnez. Fay Satterfield married Lanier Chambers in 1931, and they had no children. Lanier was born in Krum and grew up on the Grape Vine Prairie. He was the son of Claude L. Chambers, Sr. He attended Trinity University on a scholarship funded by Mary Virginia (Wall) Simmons' grandmother, Virginia A. Wall. Lanier was the owner of Claude Lanier Chambers Real Estate Company in Irving for 30 years. He was an Air Force veteran of World War II and served in the Berlin Airlift. Lanier was a charter member of the Irving Chamber of Commerce and a member of the Dallas and Grapevine chambers of commerce. Fay and Lanier lived in Irving for 50 years. In 1977 they moved back to Grapevine. Mr. Chambers brought a substantial amount of brick to Grapevine from his Irving home which he used for patios and walkways. Fay and Lanier enjoyed gardening and creating a beautiful outdoor area in the shadow of the B&D Mill. At the back of their property, their lot adjoined Mrs. John ('Mamie) Spinks' property at 401 West College Street. Mr. Spinks, Fay's beloved Uncle John, had passed away in 1952. Her aunt, Mrs. Mamie Spinks, made her home in the old Willis house located at 401 West College Street. The Willis house was built by Mamie's aunt and uncle, Joe and Mollie Hudgins Willis. Mollie was the daughter of pioneer minister, Rev. E. Nathan Hudgins. Much to Fay Chambers' dismay, the Willis house was tom down in the early 1990s. On December 3, 1934, Fay and Lanier became charter members of the First Presbyterian Church of Irving. Later they were members of the First Presbyterian Church of Grapevine. Fay was a member of several Irving clubs and the Bay View Club in Grapevine. Lanier died on January 18, 1990, at the age of 79. Fay Chambers died on April 7, 2005, at the age of 97. Their lives and family histories add richness to the cultural history of Grapevine. 16. Bibliography .Sallie Andrews, Historic Preservation Consultant Tarrant County Clerk's Office. Deed Records.

H. Miles, D.O., who came to Grapevine to establish his medical practice. The house is built in the minimal traditional style that was popular throughout post war America. The house style came as a compromise style that reflects the form of traditional Eclectic house, but lacks their decorative detailing. Roof pitches are low or intermediate, rather that steep. Eaves and rake are close, rather than overhanging as in the Ranch Style. Houses of this type were built in great numbers in the years immediately proceeding and following World War 11. The house is built on a pier and beam foundation. A limestone veneer covers the exterior of the house. Roofing material is dark brown composition shingles. Many of the original wood windows remain intact. An inset porch to the left on the front elevation has been enclosed. The front door opens directly into the living room. The living room adjoins the dining room to the rear of the house. To the left is a large master bedroom with two windows facing Church Street. A small decorative stairway leads to a second floor landing and storage area. To the left of the dining room are a hail and the kitchen. The kitchen contains an eat -in breakfast nook with sliding glass door leading to the back yard and brick terrace. The hall leads past the hall bathroom to a den on the south side of the house with access to the enclosed porch. A second bedroom and bath with shower are located off of the den. The surrounding property is heavily planted with both hardwood and flowering trees. Lush landscaping was developed over a 58 year period and was carefully tended by the Chambers. Page 4 There are several outbuildings including a barn, two car garages, concrete storm cellar, a small storage building and a lightly framed greenhouse. The Miles — Chambers house is in good condition and can easily be adapted for today's living standards. The house is located adjacent to the B&D Mill and the Cotton Belt Railroad Industrial Historic District which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The house also overlooks the restored J. E. Keeling House where it is believed that Grapevine's City Charter was signed in 1907. Page 5 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 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 Page 6 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. 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 Page 7 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. NTZ e jk 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. Page 8 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. 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 Page 9 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 10 ORDINANCE NO.
