310 East Northwest Highway
c. 1960
This 875 sq. ft. building was originally built as the Massey Beauty Shop in 1960. It is constructed of concrete block on a
concrete foundation. There is a small addition that was added to the rear of the building which expanded its original foot
print. The symmetrical facade has a center entry door flanked by two plate glass windows. The exterior of the building is
clad in white painted aluminum panels. A large four car aluminum carport cover is located to the rear of the building.
According to Zena Rucker that owned a Yamaha Motorcycle dealership across the street, Mr. Massey operated the
Beauty Shop for number of years in the early 1960's. Later the property was occupied by the Kirby Vacuum Cleaner
shop. Several other businesses and owners occupied the building in subsequent years.
This property is not currently in a local historic district, nor is it a local historic landmark. However, because the prop-
erty is located in the Grapevine Township Revitalization Project area, staff is recommending approval of a historic over-
lay which will then give the Commission oversight of development of the site through the regular Certificate of Appro-
priateness process.
Statement of historical and cultural si,g cance. Include. cultural influences, speczal events and important personages, influences• on neighbor-
hood, on the city, etc:
The property is located in the historic Archibald Leonard Survey of the City of Grapevine. The period of significance
for the historic Township area is 1882-1956, the years documented with the county as being the construction dates for
property within the historic Township. The 310 East Northwest Highway Landmark Subdistrict is established to retain
the historic integrity and cultural history of this portion of Northwest Highway.

Period of Significance
The period of significance for the historic Township area is 1882-1956, the years
documented with the county as being the construction dates for property within the historic
Township. Allowing a property to authentically tell the story of its own period and time,
while reinforcing the historical period of significance with necessary preservation,
rehabilitation and restoration, is the goal of the historic landmark designation. The
preservation of original architectural features, especially windows, doors, porch and siding,
is preferred, rather than "modernization" or "updating" of older features, or imposing a false
"historical look" on newer features.
The repair of original materials, rather than their replacement can best preserve the historic
character of the property. If non -original materials are replaced, then care should be taken
to install original (in-kind) materials. Repair and restoration is often more cost effective
than replacement, conserves energy and reduces the amount of trash added to landfills.
New construction (additions or rehabilitation) to an existing building should reflect the
character of the building during its period of significance. Massing, roof shapes, porch
configurations and materials that reflect the architectural character of the home during its
historic period should be preserved. The design of any new architectural features shall
have key elements of the primary historic style already existing in the home and shall be
clearly compatible with and complementary to its adjacent features.
Any exterior modifications to buildings and properties within the Historic Landmark
Subdistrict are required to conform to the City of Grapevine's preservation ordinances
governing these buildings and properties and with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards
for the Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings. The Historic Preservation Commission handbook
"Design Guidelines for Historic Commercial and Residential Properties" (adopted
November 2003), explains the preservation ordinances and design criteria that has been
adopted by the City of Grapevine. The handbook's guidelines should be used by those
planning new construction or additions to historic property in the Historic Landmark
Subdistrict.
RIM
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
Page 4
0:\ZCU\HL07-04.gu1de1ines.doc
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 shall be set back in a
manner consistent with setbacks of adjacent or neighboring 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 preserving of the historic character, and
to the strengthening of the residential district.
Screen existing parking lots from streets and pedestrian areas in the Historic Landmark
Subdistrict. Existing parking lots located adjacent to streets and sidewalks should 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 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 facade of a property. Utilitarian/privacy fences should not be
installed in front of a historic building or beyond the line of the front facade 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
Page 5
0:\ZCU\H107-04.guide1ines.doc
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 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.
0
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
Page 6
0:\ZCU\HL07-04.guide1ines.doc
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 complementary 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.
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 may 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.
Page 7

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
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.
P 211140
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. 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
Page 8
0:\ZCU\HL07-04.guidelines.doc
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.
EXISTING NON-CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURES
An application for a Certificate of Appropriateness will be required for changes to existing
non-contributing structures within the District. Non-contributing structures are those which
do not represent the period of significance of the 420 East Wall Street Historic Landmark
Subdistrict. The period of significance for the District is 1882-1956. The City of Grapevine
Historic Preservation Staff may approve minor alterations to non-contributing structures.
Major alterations, demolition or replacement of structures shall undergo the review process
of the Grapevine Historic Preservation Commission. Replacement buildings shall follow the
criteria of the City of Grapevine's "Design Guidelines for Historic Commercial and
Residential Properties" and reflect the period significance of 1882-1956.
