REQUESTED HISTORIC LANDMARK SUBDISTRICT AND COMMENTS:
The applicant is requesting a Historic Landmark Subdistrict designation for property located
at 713 East Texas Street and platted as Lot 11, Block 105, Colleqe Heiqhts Addition as the
Harrinqton House.
The Historic Preservation Commission, at their August 24, 2016 meeting, adopted the
preservation criteria for the subject property. CA16-68 was approved August 24, 2016 to
construct a new two-story addition.
This small 896 sq. ft. minimal traditional style house was built in 1947 for Ona Harrington. '
Original Tax records reveal little about the origins of the house.
The house features a simple gable roof with asphalt shingles. There is a center entry
doorway. To the left and right of the doorway the original double window units have been
replaced with single window units. The house was originally sheathed with #105 siding
which has been replaced with Hardie siding. The house contains a small living room,
kitchen, two bedrooms and one bath. A living room is located to the right of the doorway
and a kitchen to the left of the entry with the bedrooms to the rear of the house.
PRESENT ZONING AND USE:
The property is currently zoned "R-7.5" Single Family Residential and is currently a
residential structure.
HISTORY OF TRACT AND SURROUNDING AREA:
The subject property and the surrounding properties to the north, south, east, and west
were zoned "R-1" Single Family District prior to the 1984 City Rezoning.
SURROUNDING ZONING AND EXISTING LAND USE:
NORTH: "R-MF-2" Multifamily District— Diamond Wood Condominiums
SOUTH: "R-7.5" Single Family Residential — residential structures
EAST: "R-MF-2" Multifamily District—portion of Ticknor Terrace Apartments
WEST: "R-7.5" Single Family Residential — residential structures
AIRPORT IMPACT:
The subject tract is located within "Zone A" Zone of Minimal Effect as defined on the
"Aircraft Sound Exposure: Dallas/Fort Worth Regional Airport Environs" Map. Few
activities will be affected by aircraft sounds in"Zone A"except for sound sensitive activities
such as auditoriums, churches, schools, hospitals, and theaters. The applicant's proposal
is an appropriate use in this noise zone.
MASTER PLAN APPLICATION:
The Master Plan designates the subject property as a "RL" Residential Low Density land
use. The applicant's proposal is in compliance with the Master Plan.

Harrington House
713 East Texas Street, c. 1947
View from Street
The house is set near the center of the lot,with a lawn in front and a large tree in
the back yard. This small house and out building totaling 865 sq. ft. was
constructed for Ona Harrington in 1947. Original Tax records reveal little about
the origins of the house. The house is built in the minimal-traditional style
popular in the early post-World War II years. The house features a simple gable
roof with asphalt shingles. There is a center entry doorway. To the left and right
of the doorway the original double window units have been replaced with single
window units. The house was originally sheathed with #105 siding which has
been replaced with Hardie siding. Window and door casing is 5" wide. The
house contains a small living room, kitchen, finro bedrooms and one bath. A
living room is located to the right of the doorway and a kitchen to the left of the
entry with the bedrooms to the rear of the house.
The original owner of this lot was J. B. Wood, a lifelong Grapevine resident. The
lot is located in the College Heights Addition. This property is located in the
College Heights Addition, a Grapevine neighborhood that is listed in the National
Register of Historic Places. It is included in the Original Grapevine Township
boundary. This area encompasses some of the most concentrated and intact
collections of late nineteenth and early twentieth century houses in the city of
Grapevine. The surrounding contributing sites with structures erected between
ca. 1889 and ca. 1950, represent the efforts of many of Grapevine's leading
merchants and professionals, as well as farmers and wage earners during the
period of significance. This area provides some of the city's best examples of
buildings associated with people and events that made significant contributions
to the history of Grapevine. The second owner of this property and person who
built the house in 1948 was Ms. Ona Harrington.

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,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 befinreen 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 fa�ade 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,
Page 4
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 farade of a property. Utilitarian/privacy fences
should not be installed in front of a historic building or beyond the line of the front
fa�ade 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
Page 5
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.
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 shalt adopt, as necessary, a paint palette(s)
appropriate to the districYs 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 slightly tinted window glass may be used. No
reflective or heavily tinted glass shall be used.
Page 6
Should the owner wish to instali 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 inetal 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.
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.
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
Page 7
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 20tn
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 bui�ding.

all the legal requirements, conditions and prerequisites having been complied with, the
case having come before the City Council of the City of Grapevine, Texas after all legal
notices, requirements, conditions and prerequisites having been complied with; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Grapevine, Texas at a public hearing
called by the City Council did consider the following factors in making a determination as to
whether this requested historic landmark subdistrict designation should be granted or
denied; safety of the motoring public and the pedestrians using the facilities in the area
immediately surrounding the site; safety from fire hazards and measures for fire control,
protection of adjacent property from flood or water damages, noise producing elements
and glare of the vehicular and stationary lights and effect of such lights on established

congestion in the streets, helps secure safety from fire, panic and other dangers; promotes

transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks and other public requirements; and

designation for the particular piece of property is needed, is called for, and is in the best
interest of the public at large, the citizens of the City of Grapevine, Texas and helps
