The house was built on a typical wood pier and beam foundation, wood frame construction, beveled siding, hipped (with lower cross gables) roof with wood shingles and porch with Tuscan columns. The roof is accentuated with a gabled dormer. The features common to this Queen Anne Victorian are the cross gabled roof, dormer, shingled (with a cornice) gables ends, beveled siding, decorative raised panel front door, scrolled brackets (believed to be a reproduction) and Tuscan columns. Especially common to this Queen Anne Victorian is the asymmetrical wrap around front and side porch. Origi- nally, the porch would have wrapped around the east side of the house. The current site setting of the house is a 20,680 square foot (.47 acre) corner lot (E. Worth and Smith) in the Original City of Grapevine. One previously demolished wood framed outbuilding is believed to have been constructed circa 1923 and located at the rear yard of the property. The current condition of the property, relating to historical integrity, is good. The house has undergone cosmetic changes that do alter the exterior appearance of the historic home. However, should the owners wish to remove the synthetic siding, the historic fabric is pres- ently under those modifications. 16. Historical Significance r ; y ) The house is significant because it was the home of Wingate Hezekiah Lucas II (1870-1910). This property was originally a part of the subdivision platted by J.E.M. Yates and Zebulon Jenkins, the Yates and Jenkins addition to the City of Grapevine. On January 31, 1898, Wingate H. Lucas purchased (filed in the courthouse) the property from J.E.M. Yates. It is believed the residence was built not too long after the purchase. Courthouse records estimate a construction date of 1903. Wingate "Wink" H. Lucas II, married Maggie Lipscomb, to which two children were born - Lorene and William Priestly. After Maggie's death, Wingate married Eunice Dell Baumgardner, a music teacher at Grapevine College. To that matrimony, two children were born, Wingate III in 1908 and Weldon Maurice 1909. "Wink," at the time of his death in 1910, was President of First National Bank of Grapevine located on Main Street. Wingate III, received his law degree from American University in Washington D.C. while working for Honorable Fritz G. Lanham, US Congressman for District 12 and was Assistant District Attorney to District Attorney Marvin Brown during World War H. After Hon. Lanham's death, Wingate III was elected to the US Congress and served there until 1954. Of critical importance during his tenure in Congress, was the development and construction of Lake Grapevine. The house merits designation because it retains all of the original construction and architectural character. Subsequent construction alterations have covered original architectural fabric, however, removal of subsequent alterations will reveal the historic fabric, thus restoring architectural integrity. The house also retains character and value as part of the cultural development of the City of Grapevine, it identifies with a person who significantly contributed to the development of the city and embodies distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type. 17.

Main Grapevine, Texas January 27, 1998 n Preface The Wingate Hezekiah Lucas House is significant to the contribution of the culture and heritage of the City of Grapevine because it was the home of Wingate H. Lucas II and Wingate H. Lucas III. The home, constructed circa 1903, is a late Queen Anne design. The house was built on a typical wood pier and beam foundation, wood frame construction, beveled drop siding, hipped (with lower cross gables) roof with wood shingles and porch with turned columns. The roof is accentuated with an eyebrow dormer, the only one in Grapevine. Lucas House, 221 E. Worth. The features common to this Queen Anne Victorian are the (lower) cross gabled roof, dormer, shingled (with a cornice) gables ends, beveled siding (currently covered with a synthetic siding and board and batten siding), decorative raised panel front door, scrolled brackets (may be an alteration), and turned columns. Especially common to this Queen Anne Victorian is the asymmetrical wrap around front and side porch. Originally, the porch would have wrapped around the east side of the house (currently filled in with a bathroom). Allowing this property to authentically tell its own story of its period and time, while reinforcing the historical period of significance (1903) with necessary preservation, rehabilitation and restoration, is the goal of the historic landmark designation. The preservation of original architectural features is preferred, rather than "modernization" or "updating" of older features, or imposing a false "historical look" on newer features. Page 2 The historic character of the Lucas House can best be preserved by the repair of original materials, rather than their replacement. New construction (additions or rehabilitation) to the home should reflect the character of the home during its period of significance. Constructed for residential use, it's massing, roof shapes, porch configurations and materials that reflect the architectural character of the home during its historic period should be preserved. The design of any new architectural features shall have key elements of a primary historic style already existing in the home and shall be clearly compatible with and complimentary to its adjacent features, but should not be a reproduction. Only when a previously demolished architectural feature can be accurately replicated, should a reproduction be considered. Page 3 Z J3 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 shall be set back to a line that is consistent with their neighbors and land use. For example, a residential setback shall retain the setback of adjacent and nearby structures, with landscaping along the street right-of-way. Maintain building orientation pattern, with the front facade facing the street. Maintain spacing patterns between buildings. DRIVEWAYS, PARKING LOTS AND VACANT SITES Driveways shall be located perpendicular to the street; no circular drives shall be allowed in corner or side yards, so that the character of the landscaped front yard can be preserved. Off-street parking shall 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 residence. SERVICE AND MECHANICAL AREAS Service and mechanical areas and equipment shall be screened from the street and other pedestrian areas. All garbage and equipment storage areas shall be screened from the street. Mechanical equipment, including satellite dishes, shall not be located in front or corner side yards or shall 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. Window air-conditioning units may not be permitted at locations visible from streets. Where replication of original elements is not possible, a new design consistent with the original style of the building may be used. Page 4 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. 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. Reconstruction of building elements shall 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 shall be maintained and painted or, when necessary, replaced in kind. Modern synthetic siding materials such as vinyl, metal or asbestos tile 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. Synthetic siding shall not be installed; removal of existing such materials is strongly encouraged, to restore historic patina, finish and appearance. Paint colors shall 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 has adopted a paint palette(s) appropriate to the house's character, which may be proposed and approved through the Minor Exterior Alteration application process. Any colors proposed outside the adopted palette will be reviewed by the Commission in the regular Certificate of Appropriateness process. WINDOWS Original window framing and light (panes of glass) configurations shall be preserved and maintained or replaced in kind. When replacement is necessary, do so within existing historic opening. Use same sash size to avoid filling in or enlarging the original opening. If drop ceiling is installed in the interior, be sure that it is slanted up at the window so that it will not cut into the window opening. Page 5 Wood storm windows are preferred, however, if metal storm windows are installed, paint to blend with surrounding elements. 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 shall be installed on the interior of windows and doors. STREETFRONT New Buildings and additions shall respect both the height and bay spacing of adjacent buildings. They shall also ensure proportion and continuity of the texture of facade treatments, in terms of roof slopes and profiles, porches, cornice lines, door and window casings and sills. EMBELLISHMENTS AWNINGS -CANOPIES Awnings and canopies shall not be installed above windows or doors. EXTERIOR LIGHTING Lighting is an important element in residential areas. Fixtures shall be consistent with the historic character of the house. Avoid exposed lighting of any kind unless part of a historic fixture. NEW BUILDING CONSTRUCTION INFILL 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 may have key elements of an existing or previous building of the historic period (1903), including massing, scale, fenestration, materials. Infill buildings may not be absolute reproductions, and shall appear as clearly contemporary. Only when a previously demolished historic Grapevine building can be accurately replicated may a reproduction be considered. The Secretary of the Interior's guidelines for new buildings in historic districts encourage similarity Page 6 of form and materials, but not actual replication. Infill buildings between or behind historic buildings shall 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 are appropriate exterior building finishes for this historic house. Fake brick or stone or gravel aggregate materials shall not be used. ADDITIONS TO HISTORIC BUILDINGS Additions to historic buildings shall replicate the style of the main building if possible; otherwise they shall adhere to the general style with simplified details. As a minimum, new additions shall reflect the massing, roof shape, bay spacing, cornice lines and building materials of the primary structure. All new wood or metal materials shall have a painted finish. New vertical additions may be set back from primary facades so as not to be readily apparent from the facing street. When replacing elements that were originally part of a historic building they shall 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. 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. MAINTENANCE REPAIRING HISTORIC MATERIALS The use of inappropriate treatments in repair and renovation can seriously damage historic structures. These guidelines present general directions for action. However, individuals using this document may consult technical resources and references available through the Grapevine Historic Preservation Commission for detailed information on renovation methods and materials. The Secretary of the Interior sets out guidelines for repair of historic buildings. Use approved technical procedures for cleaning, refinishing and repairing. Do not use abrasive cleaning methods such as sand blasting and high pressure water blasting, as they can remove the protective surface of wood and masonry and shortening the life expectancy of wood or masonry. Page 7 `.j Some chemical cleaners which are designed to remove paint from wood surfaces may be used if caution fs exercised. Wood epoxy fillers may be appropriate for use on historic wood materials. Consult the manufacturer's directions for use on particular wood species. The use of wood epoxies and resin fillers will allow for the preservation of a historic material while avoiding the expense of reproducing historic elements. Acidic cleaners, even in diluted form, shall not be used on marble, limestone, glazed brick, terra cotta, or glass as they will cause these materials to dissolve. Alkaline paint removers, (ammonia plus potassium hydroxide or tri -sodium phosphate) are usually safe for acid -sensitive masonry. Organic solvent paint removers (methylene chloride, methanol, acetone, xylene and toluene) may be safe for unglazed brick and terra cotta and harder stones --sandstones, granite, and slate. No paint removal system is entirely safe for historic materials. All chemicals shall be tested before applying to the entire surface. Manufacturer's directions shall be followed carefully. ELEMENTS NEEDING REGULAR MAINTENANCE Roofs --Repair leaks in roofs to prevent wall and interior damage. Maintaining a good, sealed, roof is the most important measure for minimizing weather damage to buildings, which can be very expensive to repair. Clean and repair downspouts. Poorly maintained downspouts can cause water to damage roof fascia and walls. Windows and Doors --Keep windows and doors clean. Clean windows and doors have a tremendous positive impact on building appearance as dirty windows and doors detract from the attractiveness of a district. Keep window and door trim scraped, annually caulked and painted to avoid rot. Moisture quickly deteriorates wood, which is not protected by paint. Siding -- Keep siding clean. This can be accomplished with simple garden hose pressure. A mild (dishwashing) detergent can be added to warm water to assist with removing dirt from siding by scrubbing with a non-abrasive pad. Never use a sandblaster to remove dirt from wood siding. When siding contains mold or mildew, it should first be removed using method above for cleaning. Failing that method, it can be removed by using a mild bleach solution (one cup bleach to one gallon warm water) and scrubbing off the mildew. Thoroughly rinse the siding once the cleaning is complete. ENERGY CONSERVATION/WINDOWS Ensure windows and doors are well caulked and weather sealed to avoid water and air infiltration. Storm windows. 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, they should be constructed of wood and configured to match the historic window sashes (i.e. one over one sash).
