SCOTT WILLIAMS, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOd r— MEETING DATE: SUBJECT ----------- Grapevine 0Lake 0 ive JULY 15, 2014 DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TECHNICAL REPORT OF HISTORIC LANDMARK SUBDISTRICT HL14-03 PROPERTY LOCATION AND SIZE: The subject property is located at 321 Turner Road, legally described as Tract 30001, Abstract 946, Archibald Leonard Survey. The applicant is requesting a Historic Landmark Subdistrict designation for property located at 321 Turner Road, legally described as Tract 30001, Abstract 946, Archibald Leonard Survey. The Historic Preservation Commission, at their March 26, 2014 meeting, adopted the preservation criteria for the subject property addressing such issues as setbacks, driveways, parking, exterior finishes and other architectural embellishments to preserve the historic integrity of the property. On March 17, 2014, property owner Regina Baldwin submitted #HL1 4-03 for the property located at 321 Turner Road. This 440 sq. ft. house was built in 1958 as the home of the George Baldwin family. George and his wife, Mary, resided here for fifty years. The current owner is Regina Chivers Baldwin. The gabled house features a shallow roof pitch HL14-03.4 1 July 2, 2014 (8:51AM) and asphalt shingle roof characteristic of the minimal traditional style with rectangular roof vents at each end.. The house is sheathed in No. 105 wood siding and features aluminum windows, a popular and sophisticated feature for the 1950s. A double window unit marks the living and dining area of the interior of the house. The interior of the house contains two bedrooms and a bath, kitchen and a living -dining area. This house is one of the "Modern Homes" constructed on The Hill as a product of the Wm. Cameron Lumber Company. R. M. (Bob) Williamson of Dallas produced and sold a plan book of house plans with an accompanying photograph of the front fagade of the house for illustration, a set of blueprints for each house in the plan book, and a list of general specifications for building the houses. Plan books were used by lumber companies and builders to sell plans and materials to customers building their own homes. "Modern Home" would be embossed on the plan book if the builder chose not to put his own name on the plan books. "Modern Home" plans were for small to medium sized homes that the buyer would finish. Several "Modern Homes" were constructed on The Hill, a substantial upgrade to the houses that were previously constructed there by the residents even though the "Modern Home" came with no electrical wiring or plumbing. Hill area resident Eliza Brewer recalled that their mortgage payment was $58 for their "Modern Home" and they had to finish out the interior. Fee Chambers, John Brewer's maternal grandfather, introduced the "Modern Home" to residents on The Hill.

Include. cultural influences, special events and important personages, influencer on neighborhood, on the city, etc. Chivers is a prominent name among the African-American families in Grapevine. In 1930, charter members of Love Chapel Church of God in Christ included Ella Chivers Jackson, Ellen Chivers, Dorothy Chivers Tarrant and Agnes Chivers Shelton. Ella Chivers Jackson (known as Mama Ella, the church mother) was one of the first trustees of the church. Ella Chivers Jackson worked for the W. D. (Ted) Willhoite family and the H. C. Yancey family. The Hill and Grapevine's African-American Communities At one time, Lewis Jones had a little store on The Hill. Turner School was also located there. Both of these struc- tures are now gone. In 2008 — there were 23 homes, several vacant lots and two large undeveloped tracts of land in The Hill community. According to W. D. (Ted) Willhoite, 011ie Brewer was "the Founder of The Hill." After the Civil War, hundreds of the four million newly -freed slaves migrated westward seeking to begin a new life. The majority of freedmen arriving in North Central Texas chose to settle in the enclaves that had been formed in large urban areas such as Dallas or to establish entirely new communities. Grapevine's African-American communi- ties were established by the former slaves of local farm families. It was not until the late 1880s, the 1920s and the 1940s that African-Americans from outside the region began to settle in the township. Three locations were established for settlement in the Grapevine area — two outside the township limits and one in town. 1) The first was established by former slaves who had been owned by the Nash family on a parcel of land west of Main Street and south of where the railroad tracks were later laid in 1888 (1995 — Mary Virginia Simmons). Octavius King is reported to have been responsible for the settlement at that location. His family continued to oc- cupy this site until the first part of the twentieth century. A descendent, William M. King, later became a minister and was one of the founding members of the Mount Horuhm Baptist Church (formed in 1866 — chartered in 1923). The King homestead appears to have been the locus of the first independent African-American settlement in Grapevine and remained fairly small throughout its history. The house and any associated outbuildings were de- molished by the second quarter of the twentieth century. 2) Another group of freedmen settled on the east bank of Denton Creek, west of Main Street. 3) Another settlement was begun by the freed slaves of the Quayle family who established a farmstead on land which was located outside the Grapevine township limits and northeast of where The Hill was later formed in 1923. Taking the name of their former owners, the community became known as Quayle Hill. All three settlements provided Grapevine residents, landowners and businesses with house maids, farm and mill hands during the latter part of the nineteenth century and well into the first part of the twentieth century. In more recent years, homes on Hudgins near Dooley Street and The Hill were the primary places of African-American set- tlement. Harvesting cotton was accomplished by groups of workers who were hired for that task. The work crews included both Anglo and African-American men and women, who, accompanied by their children, worked from sun up to sun down. An average person is reported to have been able to harvest between 300 to 400 pounds of cotton per day. Some of Grapevine's African-American workers, especially those from The Hill, are still remembered for and associated with their daily quotas of cotton. Informants indicate that "Thelma Brewer picked 400 pounds per day; Walter Brewer, 400 pounds; and Jim Jones, between 700 and 800 pounds." (1995, Simmons Gins were operated from the first of August until the last of December. Ten bushels of cotton seed were typically disturbed back to farmers for the next year's crop and the balance was retained as payment for ginning. The agriculturally -based economy of Grapevine attracted a steady influx of seasonal workers including many Afri- can-Americans. Capitalizing on this steady stream of workers, Edward T. Simmons purchased two acres outside the town limits from Martha Cluck in 1923 to provide housing for four families who had commuted regularly to Grapevine to work as field hands on local farms. The families included the Brewers, Wrights, Redmons and Chiv- ers. The development became known as The Hill. Some early dwellings on The Hill were moved to the area and others were constructed by the families themselves. The Hill may be viewed as having been created in light of Grapevine's agrarian culture. Beginning in 1948, the construction of the Grapevine Dam and Reservoir brought an increase in the African- American population and a school was needed to serve the 15 to 20 young families who lived in "The Hill" area of Grapevine. Turner School, a wood structure, was constructed in 1948 and named for Mrs. Opal Turner, the first, second and third grade teacher. In the early 1950s, William Washington moved to Grapevine from Arizona and be- came the school principal. A World War II veteran, he was a man of stature, education and experience who trans- formed the school. His efforts were rewarded by the school district, and in the 1950s a new brick school building was built on The Hill. Turner School was a segregated school for first through eighth grade students. High school students in grades nine through twelve were bussed to I. M. Terrell in Fort Worth. In 1964 when segregation ended, Grapevine schools were integrated and Turner School was no longer needed. The school was torn down several years later. In 1968, the Washington family moved to San Antonio where Mr. Washington taught in the South San Antonio ISD for more than 20 years. In 1984, Cluck Park was established at 312 Central Drive where Turner Elementary had been located. Mr. Elwood Cluck, an attorney and friend of The Hill community, owned the one acre tract of land. From the early days of Grapevine settlement, the Cluck and Coble families had always lived near The Hill.

Page 5 PUP 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. 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. [ 475 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. 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. Page 6 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. • 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. • 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. Page 7 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. J1&01§Z*PiW 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. 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 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 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 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 20th 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.
