REQUESTED HISTORIC LANDMARK SUBDISTRICT AND COMMENTS:
The applicant is requesting a Historic Landmark Subdistrict designation for property
located at 334 South Barton Street and platted as Lot 9R Block 2 City of Grapevine
Addition to be known as the Foust Warehouse.
The Historic Preservation Commission, at their August 25, 2010 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 August 4th, 2010, an application for Historic Landmark Subdistrict Overlay #HL10 -13
was submitted by building owner, Jorge Pietra, for the property located at 334 South
Barton Street. The Foust Warehouse is located on land that was purchased from F. R. and
HL10 -13.4 1 January 13, 2011 (9:01AM)
Annie B. Groover by J. E. and Daisy Foust in 1893. J. E. Foust was the founder of J. E.
Foust Dry Goods Store and Funeral Home in Grapevine. A Sanborn Fire Insurance Map
from the 1920's indicates that there was a stable on this parcel in 1921. The Sanborn Map
from 1935 indicates that the stable that appeared on the earlier map had been replaced
with a long building constructed of corrugated metal. It was labeled as a warehouse but at
the southern end of the building is the word "ambulance" indicating that the Foust
ambulance business was conducted here. The building was built as a storage facility for
the dry goods, grocery and funeral business, including business vehicles, caskets and
other supplies. The former Foust Warehouse is significant for its association with a family
and business that was important to the development of Grapevine, providing service that
was essential for any community. Although utilitarian in nature, it is an excellent example
of an early 20th- century building type that augmented the functions of commercial
establishments in the years prior to World War II.
From the 1990's to 2008, the building housed Mud, Wind and Fire, retail artisans collective.
In 2008, Jorge and Vanessa Swarovski Pietra purchased the building and have renovated
it to serve as a retail shop and studio for Vanessa's line of custom crystal jewelry.
PRESENT ZONING AND USE:
The property is currently zoned "CBD" Central Business District and is being used as a
retail and office space for "Cupid's Vault ".
HISTORY OF TRACT AND SURROUNDING AREA:
The subject property and the surrounding properties to the north, south, east, and west
were zoned "C -2" Community Business District prior to the 1984 City Rezoning.
SURROUNDING ZONING AND EXISTING LAND USE:
NORTH: "CBD" Central Business District - vacant property and Ohlook
Productions
SOUTH: "CBD" Central Business District - Gregory parking lot

Describe present and original (if known) physical appearance; include style(s) of architecture,
current condition and relationship to surrounding fabric (structures, objects, etc.). Elaborate on
pertinent materials used and style(s) of architectural detailing, embellishments and site details.
The former Foust Warehouse at 334 S. Barton Street measures approximately 30 feet wide by
100 feet deep (according to tax records). The 1 -story structure is on the west side of South
Barton Street and sits close to the street. The building has a moderately- pitched gabled roof with
slightly overhanging eaves. The roof is covered with corrugated metal, as is the exterior of the
building. Utilitarian in design, the building was originally devoid of decorative detail. Entrances
on the east side were surmounted by small shed - roofs. A shed - roofed extension is located on
the southern half of the west end of the building.
Renovations to the former Faust Warehouse were completed in May 2010 when the building
became home to Cupid's Vault, a hand- crafted jewelry and gift store. An entrance with sidelights
was added to the south elevation of the building. Flanking this entrance are sliding doors of
corrugated metal with a cross -beam frame. A long pent roof of corrugated metal was installed
above the entrance and the sliding doors. Accent lighting was added on the gable end above the
pent roof.
Two entrances on the east elevation were modified with the insertion of multi -light sidelights and
transoms around new entrance doors. A single multi -light window is to the right of each entrance.
A third entrance is located near the north end of this elevation.
Foundation landscaping surrounds the building and a parking area to the south of the building is
also landscaped. A six -foot high corrugated fence follows the north -south property fine and
partially obscures the extension on the west side. In addition, a six -foot high wood stockade
fence runs the length of the property on the west side.
16. Historical Significance
Statement of historical and cultural significance. Include: cultural influences, special events and
important personages, influences on neighborhood, on the city, etc.
J. (John) E. Foust arrived in Grapevine in 1880 with his widowed mother, Amanda, and his brother
George. Only 19 years old, John established a business selling general merchandise and lemon ice
(similar to a snow -cone) in a frame building. The frame building burned in 1889 and he moved his
business to a brick building he had constructed farther north on Main Street In this larger building,
Foust expanded his business. He bought out the interest of a coffin maker, J. M. Hamilton, and
began stocking coffins in his store. (Young, pp 48 and 202). In 1892, at the age of 30, John married
15 -year old Daisy Adair Huitt. Mrs. Foust became an integral part of the business, especially when
the firm expanded into the undertaking business. Mr. Foust became a licensed embalmer in 1917,
After his death in 1926, Daisy, and her son, John Edward Foust II, continued to operate the business.
The company, which became known as the J.E. Foust and Son Funeral Home, moved into the former
J.E.M. Yates house at 523 S. Main in 1945 (Young, 48). The company is still in existence at this
location.
The former Foust Warehouse is located on land that was purchased from F. R. and Annie B. Groover
by J. E. and Daisy Foust in 1893. A Sanborn Map indicates that there was a stable on this parcel in
1921. Perhaps this was where the Fousts kept their horse -drawn hearse. At that date, the map shows
that Barton Street was little more than an alley directly behind the buildings on the west side of Main
Street. The Sanborn Fire Insurance Map from 1935 indicates that the alley, then referred to as
Barton Street, was much wider. The stable that appeared on the earlier map had been replaced with
a long building constructed of corrugated metal. It was labeled as a warehouse but at the southern
end of the building is the word "ambulance." It was not uncommon for funeral homes to offer
ambulance services in the days before the establishment of public emergency medical services and
Young's Grapevine Area History mentions that the Fousts operated such a service (Young, p. 48).
Records of the Tarrant Appraisal District state that the Foust Warehouse was constructed in 1929 but
records from the Tarrant County Tax Assessor's Office state that the building was constructed in
1934. The building remained in the Foust family until 1996. It was purchased by the current owner in
2008.
The former Foust Warehouse is significant for its association with a family and business that was
important to the development of Grapevine, providing a service that was essential for any community.
Although utilitarian in nature, it is an excellent example of an early 20th- century building type that
augmented the functions of commercial establishments in the years prior to World War 11.

Foust Warehouse, c. 1929
334 South Barton Street
The former Foust Warehouse at 334 S. Barton Street measures approximately 30 feet wide
by 100 feet deep (according to tax records). The 1 -story structure is on the west side of
South Barton Street and sits close to the street. The building has a moderately - pitched
gabled roof with slightly overhanging eaves. The roof is covered with corrugated metal, as
is the exterior of the building. Utilitarian in design, the building was originally devoid of

moved into the former J.E.M. Yates house at 523 S. Main in 1945 (Young, 48). The

The former Foust Warehouse is located on land that was purchased from F. R. and Annie
B. Groover by J. E. and Daisy Foust in 1893. A Sanborn Map indicates that there was a
stable on this parcel in 1921. Perhaps this was where the Fousts kept their horse -drawn

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 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
Page 5
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.
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
Page 6
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 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.
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.
Page 7
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.
Infili 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
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.
Page 8
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.
