Elaborate on pertin materials used and styles) ofardy�al detailing, enbnWshnm& and site details. The Edward Jenner Lipscomb House is an excellent example of the blending of Victorian and early 20th century architectural trends. The 1 1/2 -story house displays an Arts and Crafts influence with its side gabled roof and two prominent gabled dormers with paired windows on the facade. However, the use of rectangular and diamond patterned wood shingles on the gable ends, both on the dormers and the side gables, suggests a Victorian influence. With the exception of the gable ends, the exterior of the house is sheathed with clapboard. The side gabled asphalt shingled roof forms a full -width integral porch across the symmetrical facade. The porch roof is flared and supported by six square wood columns. These columns are at least the third set of columns used for the porch. A photograph taken in 1981 reveals that at that time the porch roof was supported by six wrought iron columns. The entrance to the house is centrally located and recessed from the facade's walls. The entrance is flanked by oval sidelights and surmounted by an oval transom. The bays flanking the entrance each have one large window with diamond patterned muntins in the upper sashes. The house probably originally had a full - width wood porch deck with wood stairs (see the photograph on p. 266 of Gr4rax eArea History). The original porch has been replaced with concrete steps in front of the entrance. Quadruplet ribbon windows are located on the second floor of the north and south elevations. Bands of ribbon, paired, and single windows are located on the first floor. The 1935 Sanborn Map depicted the house as having a rectangular plan. Since that date, a 1 -story addition with 6/6 windows has been attached to the rear. The builders of the house are Frank and Charlie Estill. It bears a striking resemblance to the house formerly located at 121 E. College Street. That house was built between 1902 and 1910 by Frank Estill with his father, Charlie Estill, providing the lumber. Charlie Estill and Lucinda "Joey" Estill were brother and sister. The house is set back from the street with a portion of the rear yard surrounded by a wood fence. A driveway that leads to a metal carport is located on the north side of the house. Three large outbuildings are located to the rear of the property. 16. Ristorical Significance Statanmt of himriz land c dbyral sf n� Indude• atdiwal in�, special everts mad inpmtmt personages, inflNaxrs on nqgbbw1xod, on the city, etc Edward Jenner Lipscomb left Mississippi and arrived in Texas with his parents, Dr. Dabney Minor and Millicent Scrivner Lipscomb, sometime between the end of the Civil War and 1871 with his ten brothers and sisters. Edward Lipscomb married Lucinda Jo "Joey" Estill who had come to Texas from Tennessee with her family. Edward and Joey had five children: Fanny, Joseph Priestly, Mary Estill, Willie, and Huber. Lipscomb entered into the dry goods business with his brother-in-law, Billy Weatherly. The two operated a store on the north end of Main Street under the name of Lipscomb -Weatherly Dry Goods. Lipscomb bought out his partner's interest and moved the store to the south end of town. Huber Lipscomb joined his father's business in 1909 and the store became known as E.J. Lipscomb and Son. The elder Lipscomb died in 1936 at the age of 87. His obituary in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram noted that he had been engaged in the cattle business prior to operating the dry goods store. In June 1883, Lipscomb purchased 320 acres of the Esther Moore Survey from E.G. Giddens for $2,100. The house at 607 S. Dooley Street is located on a portion of this property. An exact construction date for the house is not known. The Tarrant County Historic Resources Survey lists the date of construction as 1907. However, records from the Tarrant County Tax Assessor's Office indicate that it was constructed in 1916. Either date could be appropriate. The Edward Jenner Lipscomb House is significant for its association with an early prominent Grapevine merchant. It also is significant as a contributing resource in the Original Town Residential National Register Historic District (NR, 1997) and as an interesting blend of Victorian and Arts and Crafts architectural styles. 17.

Dooley Street was constructed ca. 1907-16 for Edward Jenner and Lucinda Jo "Joey" Lipscomb. Mr. Lipscomb purchased the property (approximately 320 acres) of the Esther Moore Survey from E.G. Giddens for $2,100 in 1883. The house is located on a portion of this property. An exact construction date for the house is not known. The Tarrant County Historic Resources Survey lists the date of construction as 1907 while records in the Tarrant County Tax Assessor's Office indicate it was constructed in 1916. The Lipscomb House is significant in Grapevine's history based on the importance of the family who owned and occupied it and the direction that they gave in shaping the community. The house is also significant to the culture and heritage of the City of Grapevine because it is an excellent example of residential construction that combines late Victorian architectural elements and early 20th century Arts & Crafts residential architecture. The house also merits designation because it identifies with two gentlemen, Charlie and Frank Estill, who significantly contributed to the development of the city. Edward Jenner Lipscomb left Mississippi and arrived in Texas with his parents, Dr. Dabney Minor and Millicent Scrivner Lipscomb, sometime between the end of the Civil War and 1871 with his ten brothers and sisters. Edward Lipscomb married Lucinda Jo "Joey" Estill who had come to Texas from Tennessee with her family. Edward and Joey had five children: Fanny, Joseph Priestly, Mary Estill, Willie, and Huber. Edward Jenner Lipscomb House, 607 S Dooley Street, Grapevine, Texas. Lipscomb entered into the dry goods business with his brother-in-law, Billy Weatherly. The two operated a store on the north end of Main Street under the name of Lipscomb -Weatherly Dry Goods. Lipscomb bought out his partner's interest and moved the store to the south end of town Huber Lipscomb joined his father's business in 1909 and the store became known as E.J. Lipscomb and Son. The elder Lipscomb died in 1936 at the age of 87. His obituary in the Fort Page 3 Worth Star -Telegram noted that he had been engaged in the cattle business prior to operating the dry goods store. The Edward Jenner Lipscomb House is an excellent example of the blending of Victorian and early 20th century architectural trends. The 1 1/2 -story house displays an Arts and Crafts influence with its side gabled roof and two prominent gabled dormers with paired windows on the facade. However, the use of rectangular and diamond patterned wood shingles on the gable ends, both on the dormers and the side gables, suggests a Victorian influence. With the exception of the gable ends, the exterior of the house is sheathed with clapboard. The side gabled asphalt shingled roof forms a full -width integral porch across the symmetrical facade. The porch roof is flared and supported by six square wood columns. These columns are at least the third set of columns used for the porch. A photograph taken in 1981 reveals that at that time the porch roof was supported by six wrought iron columns. The entrance to the house is centrally located and recessed from the facade's walls. The entrance is flanked by oval sidelights and surmounted by an oval transom. The bays flanking the entrance each have one large window with diamond patterned muntins in the upper sashes. The house probably originally had a full - width wood porch deck with wood stairs (see the photograph on p. 266 of Grapevine Area History). The original porch has been restored and extended beyond the edge of the roof line. Quadruplet ribbon windows are located on the second floor of the north and south elevations. Bands of ribbon, paired, and single windows are located on the first floor. The 1935 Sanborn Map depicted the house as having a rectangular plan. Since that date, a 1 -story addition with 6/6 windows has been attached to the rear. The builders of the house are Frank and Charlie Estill. It bears a striking resemblance to the Frank Estill House formerly located at 121 E. College Street, since razed. That house was built between 1902 and 1910 by Frank Estill with his father, Charlie Estill, providing the lumber. Charlie Estill and Lucinda "Joey" Estill were brother and sister. The house is set back from the street with a portion of the rear yard surrounded by a wood fence. A driveway that leads to a metal carport is located on the north side of the house. Three large outbuildings are located to the rear of the property. The proposed Period of Significance for this property is 1907-1916, a range of years the house is believed to have been constructed. 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 this 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 this property. 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 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 facade line; it will screen unsightly views; and it will provide a level of security by allowing views to and from the sidewalk. Page 5 0 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 "T 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 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. Page 6 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. 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. 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. Page 7 0 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 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 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.
