Homes in the surrounding neighborhood area range from 1920's bungalows and 1940's starter homes to architect designed custom homes, recently constructed. The lot was purchased by Arthur C. Bryant in 1945. The original house built on this lot was built in 1956 utilizing building components and financing available from the Cameron Lumber Yard in Grapevine. Following World War 11, starter homes like this one were built throughout Grapevine to help with the post war housing shortage. 4 Located close to the street, the wood sided rectangular house featured a gabled roof with a 4 to 12 roof pitch. It contained a living room kitchen, dining room two bedrooms and one bath. The windows were aluminum and the doors were wood. A shed roof was later added to the west end that served as a carport. A prefabricated bamlike storage building was located in the southwest comer of the property. EXHIBIT"A"TO ORD.

Include: cultural influences,special events and important personages, influences on neighborhood, on the city, etc. The Cameron Lumber yard was the local retail office of Wm. Cameron & Company, a lumber company 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, including Grapevine, and employed 3,000 men. 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 modem 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 own his own lot outright and use 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 according 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. The plans for the new Powers House, c. 2011 are based on the "Vallonia" plan from the historic Sears Catalogue house plan book of the 1920's. Like the Cameron Homes, Sears Catalogue homes could be ordered in their entirety in kit form. The building components would be shipped directly to the building site. 17.

The Powers plan to install a crushed stone driveway to complete the project. 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 bounds around property rY Page 6 EXHIBIT"K TO ORD. NO. 2011-32 Page 13 of 16 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 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 orcomer 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, "modem" 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. Page 7 EXHIBIT"A"TO ORD. NO. 2011-32 Page 14 of 16 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 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. 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 f, slightly tinted window glass may be used. No reflective or heavily tinted glass shall.be used. Page 8 EXHIBIT"K TO ORD. NO. 2011-32 Page 15 of 16 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 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. 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. Page 9 EXHIBIT W TO ORD. NO.2011-32 Page 16 of 16 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 20u'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 10
