Two pioneer Grapevine families were joined on Nov. 8, '1906, when Beulah Estiii married Cliffard Jenkins Wall. They had both been barn in Grapevine and were both graduates from Grapevine College. Cliff,san of Zachary Taylor and Virginia A.Wall, had always lived on the corner a#Main Street and East Franklin. Beulah was#he fourth child of Charles C, and Eleanor Thomas Estill. Cliff and Beulah lied in the home on Main Street until they buiit a new hause in 1908. The new home was on the corner of V1(orth and Dooley and seemed so far from town that Cliff bought a bicycle to get to and from the drugstore he owned unti( he sold the store ta John Spinks in 1924 and went to work in Farmers Natianal Bank. Their children were Mary Virginia Wall Simmons; Gordon (who died at age 1); Josephine Wall Wright; and James Estill Wall. Their childhood was afways spent with `outsiders' in their hame. They lived near#he Grapevine Public School, so they boarded a teacher or two. Evenings were spent with piano music, reading and card games. Josephine and her family moved to Beaumant where she was a #eacher; James was a V�JWII figh#er pilot in P51 fighter planes aver Ghina-Burma-India. He was sho# down in 1944 and became a prisoner of the Japanese until the war was over. Mary Virginia married Hugh Simmons and remained in the Grapevine area; the Simmons were in the dairy business. Mary Virginia graduated from SMU and was a teacher in the Birdville ISD. She was a great community leader and Grapevine historian. Cliff was the brother of long-time Grapevine Mayor B. R.Wall. Their father,Zachary Taylor . V1laH, was a charter member of the Texas S#ate Pharmaceutical Association founded in Dallas in 1879 to improve the quality of drugs and pharmaceutical services in the state. ��� =���f :�� }.a� -�., �-€ >�::.� ""i�"�; � � . —�s 5 , a���� ' --,�.�'.�"� Q .;�•� ':,�..�'� . . ."""`" � ;,�w:� .�:_ • � �, � � - � � . � 6 C.

Watl House, photo 1910 SITE Retain the historic relationships befinreen buildings, landscaping features and open space. Avoid rearranging the site by moving or removing buildings and site features, such as walks, drives and fences, which help define the residence's historic value. SETBACKS ,,1, 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 befinreen buildings. DRIVEWAYS, PARKING LOTS AND VACANT SITES Driveways should be located perpendicularto the street; no circulardrives 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. Page 5 EXNIBIT�TO ���r'��� Page�!of.,�,,,_ Existing parEcing lots located adjacent to streets and sidewalks may be screened ta the height of car hoads. This wiil provide a certain level of continuity of the bui(ding fa�ade line; it will screen unsightly views; and it will provide a level of security by allowing views to and from the sidewalk. FENGES Historically,fences around historic houses defined yards and the boundary around property and gardens. Wood picket fences, waod rail fences and barbed wire or decorative wire fences were the common fence types in Grapevine. Traditionaily, picket fences surrounded the front af the house while rail and wire fences surrounded the agricultural portians of the properiy. Maintain historic fences. New fences. Simpie wood picket fences, wood and wire and wrought iron fiences are appropriate. Avoid chain-link #ences, pcivacy fences and concrete block fences for the stree# sides of properky. Wood privacy fences may be ailowed when installed in #he rear yard and behind the front farade of a property. Uti{itarianlprivacy fences should nat be installed in front of a historic buiiding or beyond the line of the front fa�ade of a historic buiiding. Replacing fences. If replacement is required due to deterioration, remove anly those portians 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 histaric boundary o#the property without concealing the historic character af the property. SERVICE AND MECHANICAL AREAS Service and mechanical areas and equipment should be screened from the street and other pedestrian areas. RI! garbage and equipment storage areas should be screened from the street. Mechanica!equipment, including satellite dishes, shall not be located in front or carner side yards or should be set back from the edges of roofs, and screened so that they are not visible to pedestrians and do nat 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 af the original. Ensure that roof, window, porch and comice tceatments are preserved, or when preservatian is not possible duplicate the ariginal building element. Page 6 EXH#BIT�T4 o2.Q/6 -�� Page '� �of�1�,. ������ When rehabilitating, remov� non-historic a{teratiQns. Often, "modern"" renovations canceal the original facade details. !f not, the original style may be recreated #hrough the use of historic photographs. Where replica#ion of orig'rnal elements is not passible, a new design consistent with the ariginal style of the building may be used. Reconstruction of building elements should reflect the size, scale, materiai and level of detail a#the original design. Preserve older renovations that have achieved historic significance. Older structures or additions may have, at same time, been renovated with such care and skill that the renovation itseif is warthy of preservatian. Usualiy, such renovations may date from before 1940. EXTERIOR FINISHES Original wood finishes shauld be maintained and painted or, when necessary, replaced in kind. Modern synthetic siding ma#erials such as vinyl or metal bear little resembfance to historic siding materials. The appiication of such modern synthetic materials often involves the remaval of original decorative elements such as comice, corner boards, brackets, r—� window and doar trim, etc. New synthetic siding shal! no#be installed; removal of existing �µ, such materials is not required, but strangly encouraged, to restore histaric patina, finish and appearance. Original asbestos siding should be maintained and painted, or when necessary, replaced with syn#hetic siding to match the existing asbestos siding. The removal of asbestas siding over existing wood siding is not required, but strongly encauraged, to restore historic patina, finish and appearance. � ariginal masonry surfiaces should be main#ained and no# be painted, unless severe deterioration of the brick or stone can be shown to require painting. !f the color or te�ure of replacement brick ar stone cannot be matched with existing, painting may be an appropriate treatment. Paint colors shauld be complimentary to each ather and the overall character of the house. When passibfie, 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 ta the distric#'s character, which may be proposed and approved thraugh the Minar Exterior Alteration application process. Any colors proposed ou#side the adapted palette may be reviewed by the Commission in the regular Certificate af Appropriateness process. ___� Page 7 EXH1BtT�T4 y71��:Z__ Page ,S� of 1�, WtNDQWS C?riginal windaw framing and li#es(panes of glass)configurations shauld be preserved and maintained ar replaced in kind. When replacement is necessary, do so within existing historic opening. Repiacement of non-ariginal windows should consider the use of historically appropriate wood windows. Use same sash size to avoid fiiling in or enlarging the original opening. Clear or very sGghtly tinted window glass may be used. No reflective or heavily tinted glass shali be used. Should the owner wish to instail security bars, they should be installed on the interior of windows and doors. Storm windows. The use af interior storm windows is encouraged. Storm windows are available which can be instailed on the in#erior of windows. This helps to presenre the e�erior historic character pf the building. Should storm windows need to be installed on the exterior of the historic windows, s#orm windows canstructed of wood and configured to match the historic sashes {i.e. one aver one sashes) are recommended. If inetal starm windows are installed, paint to blend with surrounding elements. EMBELLISHMENTS AWNINGS-CANOPIES New awnings and canopies should not be installed above windows or doars. EXTERIOR LIGHTING Lighting is an important element in residential areas. Fixtures shauld be cansistentwith the historic character af the house. Appropriate incandescent light fixtures to the style af the district shouid be used. Avaid expased ligh#ing of any kind unless part of a historic fi�ure. NEW BUI�DING CONSTRUCTION INFI�L The Secretary of the lnterior's guidelines for new buildings in historic districts encourage similarity of form and materials, but not actual replication. New constructian proposals and the rehabilitation of non-histaric buildings will be reviewed based on these Criteria. Judgement will be based on the compatibili#y of the design within the contexf af the property's adjacent and nearby historic buildings. ` Page 8 EXHIBIT�TO �� Page �_,�f.�— a 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 (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 20'h 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 9 EXHIBIT�Tt7��.�.� HL16-05 p�ge , /b -of�_ - GRAPEVtNE HISTORIC PRESERVATtON CflMMISSION HISTORIC LANDMARK DESIGNATION FORM 1.
