REQUESTED HISTORIC LANDMARK SUBDISTRICT AND COMMENTS:
The applicant is requesting a Historic Landmark Subdistrict designation for property located
at 511 East Franklin Street and platted as Lot 3, Block 113, College Heights Addition
known as the Crowley-Sanchez House.
The Historic Preservation Commission at their July 22, 2009 meeting adopted the
preservation criteria for the subject property known as the Crowley-Sanchez House.
Preservation criteria for this proposed district addressing such issues as setbacks,
driveways, parking, exterior finishes and other architectural embellishments were
established by the Historic Preservation Commission to preserve the historic integrity of the
property.
This house was constructed in 1946 for Jesse J. Crowley as his family residence. Jesse
O:\ZCU\HLO9 01.4.doc 1 October 8,2009(4:34PM)
was one of 15 children born to his father William Crowley. The Crowleys came to Tarrant
County in the early 1800s. Jesse Crowley was a member of the band"The Rabbit Twisters"
that played on WBAP in the 1940s. The Crowleys owned the home from 1946 until 1965.
The modest house is built in the Minimal Traditional style with Craftsman detailing on a pier
and beam foundation with wood frame, wood siding, asphalt shingle roof with exposed
rafter tails. Staff review of the house indicates that the house itself is in very poor structural
condition. The house has a failed foundation and is in poor condition. There is a severe
slope in the floors inside the house and sagging of exterior walls. There is rotted wood on
the exterior of the home and many of the doors and windows will not close properly. The
house could be rehabilitated at significant cost. A letter was received from the applicant
showing hardship to adapt the home for modern life and his family needs. The applicant
submitted CA09-36 for demolition of the existing house and proposed plans for a new
single-family bungalow style residence. Plans for the residence were designed by an
architect following the City of Grapevine's Design Guidelines and have been reviewed by
staff.
Staff has recommended approval of the Historic Overlay HL09-01 to record the history of
the house and to have input in the development of the proposed new home for this site for
the Cureton family. A set of the proposed design guidelines are attached.
PRESENT ZONING AND USE:
The property is currently zoned "R-7.5" Single Family Residential.

511 East Franklin Street
The Crowley-Sanchez House is a one-story, early post-World War II National Folk-
U-plan style house located in the College Heights Addition of Grapevine, Texas.
Built in 1946, the house features a low-pitched, cross-gabled roof covered with
asphalt shingles. The wood framed house is sheathed with a wide wood siding.
The façade has a gabled bay at each end with attic vents below the peak of the
gables.
The left bay houses the single-car garage (the opening of which has been
enclosed). The right bay has a set of paired double hung windows. Between the
two bays is a covered porch. The roof of the porch is supported by one porch
column consisting of a tapered wood column on top of a brick pier. Beneath the
porch is the entrance to the house and a set of paired double-hung windows.
A stone-surfaced driveway with a railroad tie border on the right approaches the
0 garage from the street. An unpaved parking surface is located on the right side of
the lot. A concrete sidewalk approaches the front porch from the street.

H L09-01
Zeta Wall Crews, daughter of B. R. and Ida Mae Wall, became the owner of Lot 3,
Block 112 of the College Heights Addition in 1931. In 1946, she sold the lot to
Jesse J. Crowley for $375.00 according to tax records. Crowley, son of William
Jasper and Lola Denton Crowley, likely had the house constructed shortly
thereafter. The house was sold to Clyde and Margaret Dickerson in 1965.
Guadalupe and Maria Sanchez purchased the property in 1968. In 2008, the
property passed to Sixto Sanchez for two days before being purchased by Jay
Balding who sold it to the current owners a few months later.
The Crowley-Dickerson-Sanchez House is an excellent local example of the early
post-World War II houses built in Grapevine, Texas. Its simple form and simple
materials are typical of the small, modest houses built immediately after the war.
The incorporation of a one-car attached garage into the design of the house
represent the growing influence of the country's automobile culture, particularly in
the post-war period.
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
ir
the district.
Page 4
H L09-01
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 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 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.
Page 5
H L09-01
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. 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.
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
Page 6
H L09-01
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.
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 historic character of the house.
Appropriate incandescent light fixtures to the style of the district should be used.
Page 7
HL09-01
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 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, doso
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.
Page 8
H L09-01
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.
