REQUESTED ZONE CHANGE AND HISTORIC LANDMARK SUBDISTRICT AND COMMENTS: The applicant is requesting a zone change to rezone 5.426 acres from "GV" Grapevine Vintage District to "GU" Governmental Use District and is also requesting a Historic Landmark Subdistrict designation for the Nash Farmstead. On April 18, 2012 the Nash Farm Committee and the Grapevine Heritage Foundation Board conducted a joint meeting and recommended the following for the subject site; adding a Historic Landmark designation, moving the Soil Conservation office to the subject site and adding a five-foot high perimeter wire and wood post fence around the property with the exception of in front of the Nash Farmhouse. O./ZCU/Zl2-04.4/HL12-03.4 1 May 7.2012(11 ZOOM) The Historic Preservation Commission at their April 25, 2012 meeting approved an application for Historic Landmark designation for the T. J. Nash Farmstead. Also recommended for approval was a zone change on the subject site from "GV" Grapevine Vintage District to"GU" Governmental Use District; and to add one historic building and the installation of the perimeter fence to the subject site. This 5.42 acre property is the last remaining parcel of the historic T. J. Nash Farm of 1859 and contains the original Nash Farmhouse that was built in 1869. T. J. and Elizabeth Nash came to Texas in 1859, from Tennessee and purchased the 110 acre Henry Suggs farm and cabin. The Nash family was a pioneer family of Grapevine and owned and operated the farm for more than 70 years. It is the last remaining intact farmstead in Tarrant County. Nash Farm is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Its contributing elements are the Nash Farmhouse and rainwater cistern (c. 1869), the red barn (c. 1907), and the cemetery (c. 1878). The red barn was restored in 2002 and the house extensively researched and restored in 2006 through 2008 following the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Structures. Paint scraping and color analysis were undertaken on the interior and exterior of the farmhouse that revealed its original colors. These were color matched and the house was repainted in its original colors inside and out. PRESENT ZONING AND USE: The subject property is currently zoned "GV" Grapevine Vintage District and is occupied with the original Nash Farmhouse that was built in 1869. HISTORY OF TRACT AND SURROUNDING AREA: The subject property and the properties to the north, south, and west were zoned "R-1" Single Family Dwelling District prior to the 1984 City Rezoning.

The Nash Farm encompasses approximately 5.42 acres in the Southwest sector of the City of Grapevine,Texas, at the corner of College and Ball Streets. The farm constitutes one of the last re- maining agrarian sites in the region where there was once a pervasive landscape of farmsteads with a house,barn, fencing, and cropland. Thomas J. and Elizabeth Nash first owned 110 acres in North- east Tarrant County in 1859;the family continued to own and farm this acreage until the late 1920s. The Nash farmstead itself became more fully developed from about 1870 through 1900. A c. 1907 photograph suggests the appearance of a log house and fencing on the property. By c. 1870,the Nashes constructed a two-story I house with one-story front porch. This simple vernacular house form would be consistent with the family's heritage of the Upper South where I houses were com- mon. The I house is named such because of its appearance of an I shape and because it is com- monly found on farms in the states of Indiana, Iowa, and Illinois! In form, the I house is noted by a long, side-gabled roof, often with end chimneys, and a symmetrical pattern of window and door openings. A historic photograph (c. 1907) shows an A-A-B-A-A form with two-over-two windows and large brick chimneys on each gable end. The front porch contained Victorian embellishments of scrolled brackets and turned porch elements. A one-story rear ell probably contained the family kitchen and dining areas with inset porches. The house is set on a raised foundation with hand- hewed sandstone piers. Secondary buildings (chicken coops,pump house, storm cellar) completed the typical agrarian features of the farm with the extant barn dating from c. 1907. A family cemetery began about 1878 and contains two marked graves of children (Clint and Thomas Payne). Nash family lore also suggests that an additional ten graves may be in the vicinity,but are unmarked. A subsurface investigation conducted in 2001,however,located two infant graves and six adult graves, Fred Kniffen,"Folk Housing:Key to Diffusion,"in Common Places,pp.3-26. III°°°U Ill,,,,w,.1 -i the latter all unmarked.2 Subsequent owners removed or replaced most of the remaining outbuild- ings existing from the late 19th century. In 1925, Elizabeth died at the age of 96 in Dallas at her daughter's home. When Elizabeth died, she left no will and the family sought to divide the remaining 157 acres six ways. Unable to reach agreement and also cover Elizabeth's debts, the 67th District Court of Tarrant County ordered the property sold by H.C. Yancy,Elizabeth's son-in-law. Carl Yates purchased the property in March 1927 and ended the Nash family ownership of 70 years? At the time of sale to Yates, the Nash farmstead consisted of the c. 1869 farmhouse, a transverse (crib) barn, several outbuildings,a small family cemetery and fencing. The Nash descendants ap- pear to have disbursed over North Texas following the sale of family land. Yates is assumed to have farmed the acreage and sold the farmstead to the Pierce Williamson family about 1945. The Wil- hamsons made extensive alterations to the c. 1869 farmhouse, essentially recreating the farrade and interior into a Colonial Revival appearance by 1950. The farmhouse was restored to its 1869 ap- pearance by the Grapevine Heritage Foundation in 2008. f r �o r Na,Jii Farnihouse ca 19,07 ' I �f /I Nash Farm,c. 1940s 2 A-E-I,Environmental&Engineering Consultants,Inc.Non-Destructive Subsurface Investigation,_august 2001,p.5. 3 Ibid,p. 11.

Historical Significance Statement of butoncal and cultural significance. Include: cultural influences,special events and important personages,influences on neighborhood,on the city,etc. The Nash family migrated from Washington County (later Marion County),Kentucky,as part of a demographic shift ftom the Upper South states to North Texas. Thomas Jefferson Nash, the eldest Nash,married Elizabeth Mouser about 1848 while in Kentucky,and then bore three children be- fore moving to Texas: Apalona,John William,and Susan. After relocating to Grapevine,Thomas and Elizabeth had three additional children: Sallie,Anna,and Elizabeth. Thomas'brother,William P. Nash,joined the family and lived with Thomas and Elizabeth for much of his life. Local histori- ans believe William,illiterate, became an accomplished stonemason who may have laid the stone foundation piers for the extant Nash farmhouse as well as other buildings in the community. Another brother,James T.,also lived at times with the family, though less is documented of him, and the majority of his life was spent outside the immediate Nash farmstead.' During the Civil War (1861-1865),Thomas and William enlisted in the Confederacy among Captain Gano's Grapevine Volunteers,a company of mounted riflemen. Although the records of service for both Thomas and William are unidentified,it is believed that the Nash brothers eventually served with a Kentucky regiment in the Vicksburg campaign in 1863. Thomas,however,may have con- cluded his service with a Texas regiment in 1865 in Hempstead,Texas.' Family members relate an oral history where the Nash family owned slaves with slave cabins;however, there is no documented history to that effect. Nevertheless, the war years left John William and mother Elizabeth in charge of maintaining the family farm. Following the war,the Nash brothers returned and resumed farm- ing operations. After the initial purchase of 110 acres in 1859,the Nashes continued to add acreage, first another 110 acres in 1859-60,then another 80 in the late 1860s,and finally 50 acres in 1870. By the 1870 census,Thomas J. Nash is assessed for 295 acres of which 45 were improved, 130 remained in woodland, and 120 in an unimproved status.Tarrant County officials listed the property value at a Grapevine Sun,August 11,19Q6;Charles Young,ed.

IIII°°fL I -03 $1,000 and the farm implements and machinery at$100.6 In the same year,the family owned nine horses, five milk cows, six working oxen, 75 head of cattle, 50 sheep and 60 hogs.' Prior to the Civil War,the Nashes farmed crops following the war the family appears to have largely raised livestock. By the late 19''century,the Nash household consisted of a sizable collection of relatives and work- ers including Thomas, Elizabeth and brother William along with three single children,two married daughters and son-in-laws, and two boarders or farm laborers. Between 1880 and 1900,Thomas Nash purchased two other tracts of land,one of 176 acres and another of approximately 112 acres. A short-term note that the Nashes paid in 1884 indicates the success of the family in livestock farm- ing. Many farmers prospered in the pre-1890 years in Texas,but the Nashes seem to have been more successfixl than the average late 19'' century farmer. In 1887,Thomas sold a small parcel of land to the St. Louis,Arkansas&Texas Railroad Company for right-of-way." This route later be- came known as the Cotton Belt Route (Texarkana to Fort Worth) which connected local agricultural products to a larger market. After 1888 when the rail service started, Grapevine established itself as a regional trade center for farmers and smaller communities in the area. This further improved the Nash family's holdings. By 1900,Thomas and Elizabeth (part in joint ownership with brother William) owned almost 540 acres. This ownership placed them above the average farming family for Tarrant County. Thomas, the family patriarch, died in 1906 at 79 years of age. He had by then become a respected leader in the Grapevine community.' Upon his death,brother William,Elizabeth and children and grand- children continued operations of the farm. William, however, sold his interests to the Thomas chil- dren, shortly before his own death in early 1907. James T.,the remaining brother, also lived in Grapevine with his wife and died in early 1908.10 These deaths left a sizeable extended Nash family with Elizabeth as the principal,but elderly,matriarch. Elizabeth Nash gradually sold off acreage and livestock. This reduced the family holdings to a little over 200 acres in 1910." By 1920,Elizabeth lived with her granddaughter,Jennie Coleman,and young family. In 1925,Elizabeth died at the age of 96 in Dallas at her daughter's home. When Elizabeth died, she left no will and the family sought to divide the remaining 157 acres six ways. Unable to reach agreement and also cover Elizabeth's debts, the 67''~District Court of Tarrant County ordered the property sold by H.C. Yancy, Elizabeth's son-in-law. Carl Yates purchased the property in March 1927 and ended the Nash family ownership of 70 years.lz At the time of sale to Yates,the Nash farmstead consisted of the c. 1869 farmhouse,a transverse (crib) barn, several outbuildings, a small family cemetery and fencing.

NEW BUILDING CONSTRUCTION ® Infill Additions to Historic Buildings Page 2 Preface The Nash Farm encompasses approximately 5.42 acres in the Southwest sector of the City of Grapevine, Texas, at the corner of College and Ball Streets. The farm constitutes one of the last remaining agrarian sites in the region where there was once a pervasive landscape of farmsteads with a house, barn, fencing, and cropland. Thomas J. and Elizabeth Nash first owned 110 acres in Northeast Tarrant County in 1859;the family continued to own and farm this acreage until the late 1920s. The Nash farmstead itself became more fully developed from about 1870 through 1900. A c. 1907 photograph suggests the appearance of a log house and fencing on the property. By c. 1870, the Nashes constructed a two-story I house with one-story front porch. This simple vernacular house form would be consistent with the family's heritage of the Upper South where I houses were common. The I house is named such because of its appearance of an I shape and because it is commonly found on farms in the states of Indiana, Iowa, and Illinois.' Inform, the I house is noted by a long, side-gabled roof, often with end chimneys, and a symmetrical pattern of window and door openings. A historic photograph (c. 1907)shows an A-A-B-A-A form with two-over-two windows and large brick chimneys on each gable end. The front porch contained Victorian embellishments of scrolled brackets and turned porch elements. A one-story rear ell probably contained the family kitchen and dining areas with inset porches. The house is set on a raised foundation with hand-hewed sandstone piers. Secondary buildings (chicken coops, pump house, storm cellar) completed the typical agrarian features of the farm with the extant barn dating from c. 1907. A family cemetery began about 1878 and contains two marked graves of children (Clint and Thomas Payne). Nash family lore also suggests that an additional ten graves may be in the vicinity, but are unmarked. A subsurface investigation conducted in 2001, however, located two infant graves and six adult graves, the latter all unmarked.2 Subsequent owners removed or replaced most of the remaining outbuildings existing from the late 19th century. In 1925, Elizabeth died at the age of 96 in Dallas at her daughter's home. When Elizabeth died, she left no will and the family sought to divide the remaining 157 acres six ways. Unable to reach agreement and also cover Elizabeth's debts, the 67th District Court of Tarrant County ordered the property sold by H.C. Yancy, Elizabeth's son-in-law. Carl Yates Purchased the property in March 1927 and ended the Nash family ownership of 70 years. At the time of sale to Yates, the Nash farmstead consisted of the c. 1869 farmhouse, a transverse (crib) barn, several outbuildings, a small family cemetery and fencing. The Nash descendants appear to have disbursed over North Texas following the sale of family land. Yates is assumed to have farmed the acreage and sold the farmstead to the Pierce 1 Fred Kniffen, "Folk Housing: Key to Diffusion,"in Common Places,pp. 3-26. 2 A-E-I, Environmental&Engineering Consultants, Inc.

The Williamsons made extensive alterations to the c. 1869 farmhouse, essentially recreating the fagade and interior into a Colonial Revival appearance by 1950. The farmhouse was restored to its 1869 appearance by the Grapevine Heritage Foundation in 2008. r 'o r t Nash Farmhouse c. 1907 i Nash Farm, c. 1940s Page 4 k ri bll* I i i4!

Thomas Jefferson Nash,the eldest Nash, married Elizabeth Mouser about 1848 while in Kentucky, and then bore three children before moving to Texas: Apalona, John William, and Susan. After relocating to Grapevine, Thomas and Elizabeth had three additional children: Sallie, Anna, and Elizabeth. Thomas' brother, William P. Nash, joined the family and lived with Thomas and Elizabeth for much of his life. Local historians believe William, illiterate, became an accomplished stonemason who may have laid the stone foundation piers for the extant Nash farmhouse as well as other buildings in the community. Another brother, James T., also lived at times with the family,though less is documented of him, and the majority of his life was spent outside the immediate Nash farmstead.4 During the Civil War(1861-1865),Thomas and William enlisted in the Confederacy among Captain Gano's Grapevine Volunteers, a company of mounted riflemen. Although the records of service for both Thomas and William are unidentified, it is believed that the Nash brothers eventually served with a Kentucky regiment in the Vicksburg campaign in 1863. Thomas, however, may have concluded his service with a Texas regiment in 1865 in Hempstead, Texas.5 Family members relate an oral history where the Nash family owned slaves with slave cabins; however, there is no documented history to that effect. Nevertheless, the war years left John William and mother Elizabeth in charge of maintaining the family farm. Following the war, the Nash brothers returned and resumed farming operations. 4 Grapevine Sun,August 11, 1906; Charles Young, ed.

Page 7 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. 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 Page 8 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 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. Page 9 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. 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 modem 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 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. 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. Page 10 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 be designed to reflect the period of significance and follow the Design Guidelines established for Grapevine's Historic Commercial and Residential Buildings. 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. Judgment will be based on the compatibility of the design within the context of the properties 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 building to the heights of adjacent structures. Avoid new buildings that tower over existing ones. Page 11 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 20t' 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 12 ' ORDINANCE NO.
