The exterior of the house is covered with nonoriginal, unpainted wood shingles. The main body of the house is composed of a side jerkinhead (or clipped) gabled mass with slightly overhanging boxed eaves. The primary elevation faces north and features two shed roofed dormers on the upper story. Each dormer has two lights. A brick ridge chimney is above the east dormer. The first story features a full -width hipped roofed porch supported by four Tuscan style wood columns. The entrance is slightly off -center to the east and is flanked by oval sidelights and surmounted by a full -width transom. A single window is to the left of the entrance. To the right is one short window and a larger window is to its right. The porch has a wood floor. Underneath the gable on the east elevation are paired windows. The first floor from left to right has one single window, one short window, and a set of triplet windows. The upper story of the west elevation is sheathed with smaller sized shingles than the rest of the house. Underneath the gables area paired 2/2 hung windows with vertical lights. On the north end of the first floor is one large window. To the right of the window is a one-story, side gabled addition. This addition does not appear on the 1947 Sanborn Map. It has one small 2/2 window on the north wall. The west wall has one entrance. Attached to this end of the addition is a flat roofed carport. The rear or south elevation of the house also has two shed roofed dormers on the upper story, each with two lights. The first floor has a shed roofed extension with a former screened porch that has been enclosed with glass. It is flanked by an entrance on either end. To the right of this grouping is one short window and a set of paired windows. The Hurst House has a deep setback from the street. A corrugated shed is located in the rear yard The 1947 Sanborn Map indicates that the property formerly had two outbuildings that are no longer extent. The lot lines are delineated by heavy vegetation. To the east of the property is a large tract of vacant land. To the west is an asphalt parking lot for the First Baptist Church. 16. Historical Significance Swm2aa ofhwn�,d and arltural sign� Include• advoal in l era, special ewz and �� personcg�s, m lumc s on neighl o9yo d, on dx chty etc George Ellison Hurst was born in 1868 near Lone Mountain, Tennessee. He moved to Grapevine in 1897. Known as Ell, Hurst first worked as a carpenter and then began carrying mail by horseback in 1901. He carried mail for nearly 30 years and retired in 1931. Hurst was active in state and national Rural Letter Carriers Associations, serving as president of the state association. He was instrumental in getting annuity benefits for the widows of mail carriers although Congress did not pass the bill until after his retirement. In 1907, George Ellison Hurst purchased a two and one-half acre plot of land out of the William Dooley and E. Moore surveys. The land was purchased from E.A. Bushong (presumably the wife of G.E. Bushong, an early Grapevine pioneer) for $350. Hurst married Gerrie S. Corbin on December 22, 1909. They built the house on Wall Street (then known as Coppell Road). Ell served as clerk of the First Baptist Church and Gertie was librarian for the Grapevine Public Library from 1941 to 1958. They were both active in the Garden Club and propagated two new types of iris. The Hursts had two children, Amanda Sue, born in 1911, and George Ellison, Jr., born in 1915. George Ellison Hurst passed away in 1945. In 1948, Mrs. Hurst had their property platted into eight lots called the G.E. Hurst Subdivision (sometimes noted as the Mrs. G.E. Hurst Subdivision). Mrs. Hurst died in 1958. The house passed to her son, George Ellison, Jr. and daughter Sue Hurst Lipscomb. George Ellison Jr. passed away in 1975. His widow, Mary Ellen Hurst, deeded George's portion of the property to his sister, Sue Hurst Lipscomb in 1986. The property remains in the family. The Hurst House is an outstanding example of an early Colonial Revival style house in Grapevine. The jerkinhead gables and shed roofed dormers are hallmarks of this style. There were few examples of the Colonial Revival style constructed in Grapevine during the first few decades of the twentieth century. Many of the houses built during this era were influenced by the emerging Arts and Crafts movement blended with Late Victorian styles or were variations of common folk forms. 17.

The Hurst House is an outstanding example of an early Colonial Revival style house in Grapevine. The jerkinhead gables and shed roofed dormers are hallmarks of this style. There were few examples of the Colonial Revival style constructed in Grapevine during the first few decades of the twentieth century. Many of the houses built during this era were influenced by the emerging Arts and Crafts movement blended with Late Victorian styles or were variations of common folk forms. The proposed Period of Significance for this property is ca. 1910. Allowing this property to authentically tell its own story of its period and time, while reinforcing the historical period of significance with necessary preservation, rehabilitation and restoration, is the goal of the historic landmark designation. The preservation of original architectural features, especially windows, doors, porch and siding, is preferred, rather than "modernization" or "updating" of older features, or imposing a false "historical look" on newer features. The repair of original materials, rather than their replacement can best preserve the historic character of the Hurst House. if non -original materials are replaced, then care should be taken to install original (in-kind) materials. Repair and restoration is often more cost effective than replacement, conserves energy and reduces the amount of trash added to landfills. 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 ri elements of a primary historic style already existing in the home and shall be clearly compatible with and complimentary to its adjacent features. Page 4 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 fagade 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. Page 5 Wood privacy fences may be allowed when installed in the rear yard and behind the front fagade of a property. Utilitarian/privacy fences should not be installed in front of a historic building or beyond the line of the front fagade 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 Page 6 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 landmark'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. The palette adopted by the Commission is Sherwin William's Preservation Palette, with an emphasis on the Victorian Romanticism and Roycraft Arts & Crafts colors. 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. Page 7 r, AWNINGS -CANOPIES EMBELLISHMENTS 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 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 w 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. Page 8 All new wood or metal materials should have a painted finish except on some 201h 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.
