I The applicant is requesting a Historic Landmark Subdistrict designation for property located at 1400 South Main Street and platted as Lot 1 R1, Block 1 First National Bank. The Historic Preservation Commission, at their May 28, 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 April 23, 2014 the Historic Preservation Commission voted unanimously to bring forward a case for landmark designation of the First National Bank Building property located at 1400 South Main Street. The ca. 1970 building, constructed as the First National Bank of Grapevine and is now owned by Wells Fargo Bank, is one of Grapevine's most iconic structures. It marks the south Gateway Entrance to Grapevine's historic Main Street HL14-05.4 1 July 2, 2014 (9:24AM) at State Hwy. 114. This five -acre tract of land was purchased in 1963 by Mr. Joseph N. Box as the most desirable of available locations. The building's sleek cubist design is unique in Grapevine and adds sophistication to Historic Main Street with its clean lines, high quality materials, and sophistication exemplified through simplicity. Designed by architect George Dahl, well known for his c. 1965 52 -story First National Bank Tower of Dallas, this is the second building on Main Street added by the Box family which adds an unusual level of quality to Grapevine's commercial district. In 1942, Mr. D. E. Box, father of Joseph N. Box, built the new First National Bank of Grapevine building at the corner of Worth and Main Street. The new 1942 building, was designed by renowned architect WalterAhlschlager. Mr. Ahlschlager also designed the Roxy Theatre in New York City, the Peabody Hotel in Memphis, the Republic Bank Building in Dallas among many other structures in Chicago and around the world. Joseph Box, following his father in business and in thinking, sought the finest architect for this second bank building, Mr. George Dahl. Joseph Box brought this building to Grapevine's Main Street and made the following quote in the March 27, 1969, Grapevine Sun newspaper: The purpose of the new bank building ... "is to keep pace with the growth and progress of the bank and the entire Grapevine community...:" The building was built and equipped at a cost of more than $600,000 in 1970; in today's money it would be valued at $3,348,000. Mr. Box also said in the July 2, 1970, Grapevine Sun newspaper that he felt that the "14,000 sq. ft. edifice faced with Georgia white marble was designed to benefit the whole of the Grapevine community by attracting new businesses to the area." PRESENT ZONING AND USE: The property is currently zoned "HC" Highway Commercial and is currently used as a banking facility (Wells Fargo).

D. E. Box Joe Box Historical Significance Statement of historical andcultural significance. Include: cultural influences, special events and important personages, influences on neighborhood, on the city, etc. First National Bank of Grapevine The First National Bank of Grapevine started October 29, 1919, as the Tarrant County State Bank in small, rented quarters at 336 S. Main Street with capital assets of $25,000. Founders included T. B. White and J.E. Foust, inactive President and Vice President, respectively. D. E. Box was Cashier and Manager and J. W. Harrison, Assistant Cash- ier. Others were Dr. J. C. Bennett, W. R. Buckner, D. A. Cribbs, J. J. Dougherty, T. J. McPherson, W. N. Sanders, H. E. Saunders, J. D. Thweatt, and R. Lee Thweatt. Opening a bank in a town of about 600 persons, with two other much larger banks already well established, was a bold venture. Its slow start was reflected in opening day deposits of $13,000 ($4,000 by Cashier Box). The total monthly payroll was $200. Capital was increased to $50,000 a few months after opening and a number of sharehold- ers increased to about 65. In 1921, the bank moved into a building which it had purchased and remodeled at 332 S. Main Street (later The Grapevine Sun building). In 1924, T. B. White resigned as President and was succeeded by D. E. Box on Feb. 8 1924. D. E. Box served in the position exactly 33 years in addition to also serving as Chairman of the Board for several years prior to his death on April 19, 1957. In 1927 the bank absorbed one of the other two banks, and in 1933 the other remaining bank decided to discontin- ue its operations and paid off its depositors in full. The bank which had become a national bank in 1925 changed its name on January 1, 1942, to First National Bank of Grapevine just before moving into its newly built, and then spa- cious and elaborate building, which it had just completed in March 1942 at 324 S. Main. Joe N. Box, who had started working in the bank in 1937, succeeded his father as President on Feb. 8, 1957, and at present (1977) is Chairman of the Board and principal stockholder. Joe and the directors soon decided that the growth of the bank and the Grapevine community would require expansion of its quarters to be adequate for pre- sent and future operations. In 1963 after much study and research a five -acre tract at 1400 South Main at Highway 114 was chosen as the most desirable of available locations. Plans were developed, a new, modern building was constructed, and the move was made June 22, 1970. Officers in 1977 included Mrs. D. E. Box, Honorary Chairman, Joe N. Box, Chairman, J. N. Wood, Vice Chair- man, and B. J. McNabb, President and Chief Executive Officer. There were 14 directors, plus 2 advisory directors and approximately a total of 40 employees. 16.

Wood, Vice Chairman, and B. J. McNabb, President and Chief Executive Officer. McNabb, veteran banker and businessman, joined the bank as Executive Vice President on Sept. 14, 1977, and assumed his present position on January 1, 1978. There are 14 directors, plus 2 advisory directors and approximately a total of 40 employees. Page 4 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. 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. Page 5 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. 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. :FA d 4 N NI ZA J I UMMT 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 Page 6 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 maybe 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 14J11z3411WE•�'T51 t ti%i 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. 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 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 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`" 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.

His most notable contributions include the Art Deco structures of Fair Park while he oversaw planning and construction of the 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition. aC grO n George Dahl was born in Minneapolis to Norwegian parents, Olaf G. and Laura (Olsen) Dahl.

Career In 1926, he began work for the Herbert M. Greene Co. in Dallas, Texas. He became a partner in Green's firm in 1928, and the name of the firm was changed to Herbert M. Greene, LaRoche, and Dahl (later LaRoche and Dahl). In 1943, Dahl founded his own company, George Leighton Dahl, Architects and Engineers, Incorporated.
