(Bill) and Dorothy Johnson House, c. 1958 Original House at 224 Wood Street, College Heights Addition The original house on this site was constructed in 1958 for W. C. (Bill) Johnson and Dorothy Harwell Johnson as their family residence. The Johnsons had two children, Clyde and Mary Lou. This modest house was built in the minimal traditional style on a pier and beam foundation with wood frame, Masonite siding, asphalt shingle roof with exposed rafter tails. It was occupied by the Johnson family until 1997 when Dorothy Johnson was moved to a nurs- ing care facility. She passed away six months later in 1998. The family sold the house at that time. Dorothy Harwell was a member of an early Texas family that emigrated from Tennessee. In 1931 the Hartwell's moved to a farm northwest of Grapevine which is now known as McPherson's Slough at Lake Grapevine. Their children attended school at Carroll Hill. They were produce farmers, and in the early 1940s Dorothy's father, W. T. Harwell, purchased the Cole Brothers Nursery and Fruit Farm and increased his crops to include peanut farming. Her parents, Alice and W. T., started the Assembly of God Church in Grapevine, meeting first across the street from their home on Wood Street under a brush arbor built with poles they brought from their home place on Dove Road. The church also met at Woodmen of the World Hall. The church is now known as Abundant Life Church at 1520 West Wall Street. Mr. and Mrs. Harwell passed away in 1973 and 1971, respectively. In 1936 Dorothy married Bill Johnson, and they resided in Grapevine all their lives. Bill Johnson was a local plumber. In his early days he rode in rodeos. He enjoyed traveling and seeing the different parts of the U.S., and he enjoyed a good meal. He was a hard working man and was very supportive of his wife's interest in the nursing home business. He died in 1980. Dorothy was a Registered Nurse who did her internship at Parkland Hospital. She was a pioneer in providing nurs- ing home services for the Grapevine community. She saw the need for extended care for people who were not able to care for themselves. On November 30, 1960, Dorothy and Esther Dalton opened the Grapevine Convalescent Home with nine beds at 405 Church Street. Dr. Ed Lancaster assisted them in their efforts. On June 24, 1961, they found they needed a larger facility and moved to 414 North Main Street which accommodated 11 beds. In 1962 they expanded and added nine more beds. On October 25, 1965, Brookhollow Manor Nursing Home was built and Dorothy was hired as the administrator. It opened with 50 beds and in three months expanded to 75 beds. Dorothy worked there until 1972. After that, she continued visiting those whom she had cared for. She loved older people. In May 2007 Cody and Emily Hammock applied for Historic Overlay HL07-03 and CA07-33 for demolition and construction of a new house for the site. The original house was under 50 years old, in average condition and could have been rehabilitated. A letter was received from the applicants showing hardship to adapt the existing house for family needs and requirements. Plans were submitted for a new house to serve the Hammock family needs. Staff review of the original house indicated that while the Johnson's contributions were significant to the history of Grapevine's development the house itself was not of architectural significance. Staff recommended approval of the Historic Overlay HL07-03 to record the history of the Johnson family's contributions to Grapevine and CA07-33 for demolition of the original house to allow the Commission to have input in the development of the proposed new house for this site. 17.

Page 4 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 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 5 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 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. 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 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 6 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. Nlk � 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. EXTERIOR LIGHTING Lighting is an important element in residential areas. Fixtures should be consistent with the Page 7 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 (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 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. Page 8 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 9 �fL OI -03 ORDINANCE NO.
