I 1 � f REQUESTED HISTORIC LANDMARK SUBDISTRICT AND COMMENTS: The applicant is requesting a Historic Landmark Subdistrict designation for property located at 526 East Worth Street, Lot 7 Block 110 College Heights Addition At their March 25, 2015 meeting, the Historic Preservation Commission 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. This lot is located in the College Heights Addition that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is included in the Original Grapevine Township boundary of the City of Grapevine. This area encompasses some of the most concentrated and intact collections of late nineteenth and early twentieth century houses in Grapevine. The surrounding contributing sites with structures erected between ca. 1889 and ca. 1950, represent the HL15-01.4 1 June 10, 2015 (3:41 PM) efforts of many of Grapevine's leading merchants and professionals, as well as farmers and wage earners during the period of significance. This area provides some of the city's best examples of buildings associated with people and events that made significant contributions to the history of Grapevine. Although no house was ever built there, the lot in the College Heights Addition was originally platted in 1907 by Dalton E. Austin. Mr. Austin was born on the Grape Vine Prairie on July 2, 1878. His parents were Rhodes and Willie Ella (Betty) Austin who arrived in Grapevine on Christmas Day 1870 in a wagon train of 14 wagons from Georgia. Rhodes was a blacksmith; the family settled in the White's Chapel area. D.E. grew up and married Maude Wilson; they had no children. They owned and operated the D. E. Austin Drugstore at 424 S. Main Street in Grapevine for many years. In the back of his drugstore was the office of physician Dr. E. C. Bechtol. PRESENT ZONING AND USE: The property is currently zoned "R-7.5" Single Family Residential and is currently used as a residential structure. HISTORY OF TRACT AND SURROUNDING AREA: The subject property and the surrounding properties to the north, south, east, and west were zoned "R-1" Single Family District prior to the 1984 City Rezoning. SURROUNDING ZONING AND EXISTING LAND USE: NORTH: °R-7.5" Single Family Residential — residential structures SOUTH: "R-7.5" Single Family Residential — residential structures EAST: "R-7.5" Single Family Residential — residential structures WEST: "R-7.5" Single Family Residential — residential structures F.111:1 ..

Corner Lot 8 features the Claudia Andrews Millican Perlick House located at 530 E. Worth Street. The one-story wood framed Bungalow has a rectangular shape with a projecting porch. The fa- cade features a large front gable with a lower projecting front gabled porch on the left. The porch gable is supported by two poles which are probably not original to the house. Other Bungalow features found on this house include the triangular brackets at the ends of the gables and under its peak, as well as the exposed rafter tails under the eaves on the side elevations. The windows and doors are surrounded by wood trim with a simple crown molding. Most of the windows have a 4/1 vertical light pattern. The east elevation has a variety of windows, which include paired 4/1, triplet 4/1 set in a bay, and paired awning with four vertical lights. The west elevation has paired 4/1 windows, an awning window, and triplet 4/1 windows. The rear elevation has a lower front gabled porch on the west end that has been enclosed. Tri- angular brackets, like those on the front of the house, are found on this gable. One wall of the enclosed porch has been covered with asphalt siding that resembles bricks. To the east of this area is a ribbon of four windows; the left two are 4/1 and the right two are 1/1. A shed roofed porch of fiberglass and wood has been attached to the enclosed porch and covers a wood deck. The house has been altered over time. These alterations include the covering of the original sid- ing with asbestos shingles. The current wood porch deck, railing, and supports are not original to the house. The wall under the front porch has been covered with nonoriginal wood paneling. The window to the right of the porch has been replaced with a metal 1/1 unit. According to the 1935 Sanborn Map, the rear porch was enclosed sometime after that date. The current rear porch is a later addition. The 1935 Sanborn Map also reveals that there used to be a detached wood framed garage behind the house (on Lot 7). This garage has been removed. A metal sided shed on a concrete slab was erected to the west of the house and later removed. 16. Historical Significance Statement of historical and cultural significance. Include: cultural influencer, special events and imporiant personages, influencer on neighborhood, on the city, etc. The College Heights Addition, including Block 110 - Lot 7 (vacant) - now 526 E. Worth Street, was originally platted in 1907 by Dalton E. Austin. Mr. Austin was born on the Grape Vine Prairie on July 2, 1878. His parents were Rhodes and Willie Ella (Betty) Austin who arrived in Grapevine on Christ- mas Day 1870 in a wagon train of 14 wagons from Georgia. Rhodes was a blacksmith; the family settled in the White's Chapel area. D.E. grew up and married Maude Wilson; they had no children. They owned and operated the D. E. Austin Drugstore at 424 S. Main Street in Grapevine for many years. In the back of his drugstore was the office of Dr. E. C. Bechtol. In November 1940, Mr. Austin sold his drugstore to Erman Tate and Roy Chambers who established City Drug Store. In 1907, Mr. Austin sold Lots 7 and 8 to V. M. Washam. That same year, Mr. Washam was elected Chief of the Fire Department which he organized with 13 volunteers. On March 17, 1908, the follow- ing slate of volunteer firemen was presented to the Mayor and Aldermen: V. M. Washam, Chief; D. E. Austin, O. P. Turnage, Earl Yates, John Starr, F. T. Estill, B. H. Yancy, John Lemmons, Will May, M. M. Dye, Paul Gibbs and John Pence. The early volunteer fire department became known as The Bucket Brigade. The landmarked Claudia Andrews Millican Periick House located next door on Lot 8 at 530 E. Worth Street is situated on a corner lot at the intersection of East Worth and Austin streets in the College Heights Addition to the City of Grapevine. The corner property was comprised of Lot 7 and Lot 8 with the house being situated on Lot 8. After Mr. Washam purchased the property in 1907, it was sold three times in 1912 with the last Grantee being W.E. and Grady Wood Keeling. The Keelings, own- ers of The Grapevine Sun newspaper, probably bought this property for investment purposes as they had a house of their own constructed at 529 E. Worth Street that same year. The Keelings owned the property until 1917 when they sold it to J.B. and Carrie Mills for $500. The Mills sold the property to Claudia Andrews in 1919 for $2,150. The substantial jump in the value of the property between 1917 and 1919 strongly suggests that the house was constructed during this time. Records of the Tarrant County Tax Assessor's Office confirm this and indicate that the house was constructed in 1917. When the Mills sold the house, the deed record indicates that the buyer, Claudia Andrews, was a widow. When her heirs sold the property in 1970, the deed recorded her name as Claudia Millican Perlick, meaning that she had married two more times after purchasing the house. Grapevine Area History has one reference to her under the name of Mrs. J.L. Millican. Her daughter, Ola Millican Lu- cas, owned the house for a short while after her death. Claudia Andrews Millican Perlick's name is used to identify this house because of her lengthy ownership. The Claudia Andrews Millican Periick House is typical of the modest Bungalow style houses con- structed in Grapevine during the early part of the twentieth century. Constructed in 1917, the house retains several hallmarks of the style. These include the rectangular massing with a prominent front gable and lower gabled porch. Other Bungalow features found on this house include the triangular brackets under the gables and exposed rafter tails. The multiple light windows, in this example, 4/1 vertical lights, are another common feature of the style. A small garage was located on Lot 7. It was replaced with a metal building in more recent years which has now been removed. In February 2015, Lot 7 is vacant. 17. Bibliography Young, Charles, Ed. Grapevine Area History.

It was replaced with a metal building which has now been removed. In February 2015, Lot 7 is vacant. 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 fagade line; it will screen unsightly views; and it will provide a level of security by allowing views to and from the sidewalk. 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. 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. Usually, such renovations may date from before 1940. AMA 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 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 thd original opening. Clear or very slightly tinted window glass may be used. No reflective or -• 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 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. 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 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.

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. �' • WHEREAS, an application was made by the Grapevine Historic Preservation Commission requesting a historic landmark subdistrict designation by making application for same with the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Grapevine, Texas as required by State statutes and the zoning ordinances of the City of Grapevine, Texas and all the legal requirements, conditions and prerequisites having been complied with, the case having come before the City Council of the City of Grapevine, Texas after all legal notices, requirements, conditions and prerequisites having been complied with; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Grapevine, Texas at a public hearing called by the City Council did consider the following factors in making a determination as to whether this requested historic landmark subdistrict designation should be granted or denied; safety of the motoring public and the pedestrians using the facilities in the area immediately surrounding the site; safety from fire hazards and measures for fire control, protection of adjacent property from flood or water damages, noise producing elements and glare of the vehicular and stationary lights and effect of such lights on established character of the neighborhood, location, lighting and types of signs and relation of signs to traffic control and adjacent property, street size and adequacy of width for traffic reasonably expected to be generated by the proposed use around the site and in the immediate neighborhood, adequacy of parking as determined by requirements of this ordinance for off-street parking facilities, location of ingress and egress points for parking and off-street locating spaces, and protection of public health by surfacing on all parking areas to control dust, effect on the promotion of health and the general welfare, effect on light and air, the effect on the transportation, water sewerage, schools, parks and other facilities; and WHEREAS, all of the requirements of Section 39 of Appendix "D" of the Code of Ordinances have been satisfied by the submission of evidence at a public hearing; and WHEREAS, the City Council further considered, among other things, the character of the existing zoning district and its peculiar suitability for particular uses and with the view to conserve the value of buildings and encourage the most appropriate use of land throughout this city; WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Grapevine, Texas does find that there is a public necessity for the granting of this historic landmark subdistrict, that the public demands it, that the public interest clearly requires the amendment, that the zoning changes do not unreasonably invade the rights of those who bought or improved property with reference to the classification which existed at the time their original investment was made; and does find that the historic landmark subdistrict designation lessens the congestion in the streets, helps secure safety from fire, panic and other dangers; promotes health and the general welfare; provides adequate light and air; prevents the overcrowding of land; avoids undue concentration of population; facilitates the adequate provisions of transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks and other public requirements; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Grapevine, Texas has determined that there is a necessity and need for this historic landmark subdistrict designation and has also found and determined that there has been a change in the conditions of the property surrounding and in close proximity to the property requested for a change since this property was originally classified; and, therefore, feels that historic landmark subdistrict designation for the particular piece of property is needed, is called for, and is in the best interest of the public at large, the citizens of the City of Grapevine, Texas and helps promote the general health, safety, and welfare of this community.
