Property Owner CA File HISTORIC PRESERVATION - 636 South Main Street - Grapevine, Texas - 76051 - Phone 817/410-3197 Fax Number 817/410-3125 MEMO TO: HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION FROM: DAVID KLEMPIN, HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICER RON STOMBAUGH, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES MEETING DATE: WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27, 2021 SUBJECT: CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS #CA20-109 TABLED TO THE JANUARY 27, 2021 MEETING 1953 MAYOR MUNGER COSNAHAN HOUSE D. E. BOX ADDITION HISTORIC DISTRICT #HL2010-09, ORDINANCE #2011-58 840 EAST TEXAS STREET JAMES GRAVATT, OWNER/APPLICANT RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Historic Preservation Commission deny Certificate of Appropriateness #CA20-109 for the property located at 840 East Texas Street, legally described as Block 5, Lot 6, D. E. Box Addition, City of Grapevine to the Grapevine Historic Preservation Ordinance 91-73 (Appendix G — Grapevine Code of Ordinances), as amended for the following items: 1. Remove the nine remaining original Steelcase single hung, awning style windows from the front, rear and east end of the Cosnahan House and replace them with new Don Young, bronze anodized aluminum windows, to match those of the new addition. BACKGROUND: At the December meeting of the Grapevine Historic Preservation Commission, the Commission voted to table the #CA20-109 case to the January 27, 2021 meeting, to give the applicant time to develop an evaluation of the condition of the existing Steelcase windows in the 1953 Historic Cosnahan House. The Commission said they needed this information in order to make a determination about whether the Steelcase windows could be removed. Unfortunately this evaluation did not happen. Historic Preservation Staff was informed by the applicant Mr. Jay Gravatt that also on Wednesday, December 16, 2020 the Don Young window installer, without an approved CA or building permit, removed the nine Steelcase windows, destroying them in the process; and installed nine Don Young aluminum windows. The applicant stated he had telephoned -in from out of state for the December 16, 2020 Historic Preservation Commission meeting, and made the commitment to evaluate the condition of the existing Steelcase windows, unaware that his window installer had removed, and destroyed the Steelcase windows and had installed the Don Young windows earlier in the same day of the meeting. The new Don Young aluminum windows are one -over -one windows which do not match the two -over -two awning style horizontal mullions of the original Steelcase windows. On January 11, 2021 Mr. Gravatt met with Historic Preservation Officer David Klempin, City O:\Historic Preservation Comm ission\CAs\2020 CA\CA20-109.4doc Tabled to 012721 840 East Texas Street Memo.doc February 4, 2021 (11:18AM) Attorney Matthew Boyle and Historic Preservation staff Mary Bush to review the facts of the unapproved removal of the Steelcase windows. The Design Guidelines of the D. E. Box Addition Historic District and the Secretary of Interior Standards state windows are to be replaced with like (steel) material, narrow frame, two -over -two awning -style windows. Staff asked for Mr. Gravatt to investigate replacement steel windows of the same configuration for the house. Staff gave Mr. Gravatt names of two steel window manufacturers to contact to help locate replacement steel windows. In 1953 at the time the Cosnahan House was built, available window material options were steel windows or wood windows. The Cosnahan house had steel windows which was at the time the top quality windows available, and was an upgrade over wood. Mr. Gravatt obtained a price quote for replacing the nine steel windows from Portella Steel Windows for $33,878, not including installation. As a cost alternative, Mr. Gravatt worked with his window installer who suggested a proposal to add aluminum bars to the nine aluminum windows. The aluminum bars could be glued on to the window glass of the aluminum windows to resemble the mullion bars of the two over two window configuration of the original Steelcase windows (see mockup). The cost for this proposal would be $3,500. This will not simulate the narrow frame unique character of the original Steelcase windows. The Don Young aluminum windows do not match the quality of the original Steelcase windows removed. Historic Preservation Staff contacted steel and also wood window manufactures for price quotes for replacement windows for the house. The steel replacement windows were $33,878. Quotes obtained for metal clad wood and fiberglass clad wood windows for the five front windows of the house were $4,730. and $3,662.96 respectively. This information was provided to Mr. Gravatt by Historic Preservation staff. Mr. Gravatt stated he would prefer to install the glued on aluminum bars to the unapproved Don Young windows but if required by the Commission, would remove and install Marvin Metal Clad Wood windows. The wood clad windows are much more consistent architecturally with the original windows that were improperly removed. Full replacement of the windows with an architecturally appropriate replacement window will be much more durable than a glued -on rig job, architecturally inferior. Staff recommends the Commission deny the request to remove the nine Steelcase windows from the house and install nine Don Young aluminum windows in the house. Staff suggests the owner remove five unapproved Don Young aluminum windows from the front of the house and install in their place five Marvin fiberglass clad wood windows with two -over -two awning style horizontal configuration. The Marvin fiberglass clad wood window has a narrower sash profile than the Marvin metal clad wood window, better replicating the appearance of the original Steelcase windows.
