REQUESTED HISTORIC LANDMARK SUBDISTRICT AND COMMENTS:
The applicant is requesting a Historic Landmark Subdistrict designation for property located
at 209 Austin Street, South Y2of Lots 1 & 2, Block 101, College Heights Addition.
The Historic Preservation Commission, at their July 22, 2015 meeting, adopted the
preservation criteria for the subject property and approved CA1 5-54 to allow the demolition
of the existing structures and the construction of a new residential structure with a
detached garage totaling 3,588 square foot.
The 1,320 sq. ft. single-family, one-story residence with detached garage is situated on a
corner lot at Austin Street and East Estill Street in the College Heights Addition of the city
of Grapevine. This original Folk-Victorian style house, consisting of three rooms in a "T"
shape plan, featured a steeply pitched hip roof and was built in 1912. A front and back
HL15-04.4 1 October 14,2015(1:20PM)
porch with shed roof were enclosed to become small rooms. An addition, built with a slab
on grade foundation, was added across the north face of the original house. A one-car
detached garage with storage area was constructed in the back yard in the 1950s. The
house today is severely deteriorated with a failed foundation due to a lack of critical repairs
to the foundation. The house was recently condemned by the City of Grapevine due to its
deteriorated condition.
This property 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.
This area encompasses some of the most concentrated and intact collections of late
nineteenth and early twentieth century houses in the city of Grapevine. The surrounding
contributing sites with structures erected between ca. 1889 and ca. 1950, represent the
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.
On October 18, 1912, Mattie"Dora" McKibben purchased this lot to build a house. She was
the daughter of Grapevine pioneers Hezekiah A. and Nancy Willingham McKibben. Dora,
the sixth of nine children, was a schoolteacher and taught in Fort Worth and Grapevine
schools. Dora McKibben never married. (Dora McKibben died in 1965 and is buried in
Bedford, TX.) On July 17, 1944, Miss McKibben sold the property to Noah C. "Cleve" and
Cornelia Berry Crowley. Cleve Crowley was one of 15 children born to William Jasper
Crowley (six children to Martha Jane "Mattie" Short Crowley who died in 1887, and nine
children born to Lola Denton Crowley.) Cleve and his brothers were in a band called the
"Rabbit Twisters"who played on WBAP Radio on Saturday mornings, and at social events
in the Grapevine area. Cornelia Crowley died in 1973 and Cleve Crowley died in 1983.
Both are buried in Grapevine Cemetery. On January 9, 1974, the Crowleys sold the
property to Mauricio Viera and Asencion Reyna Rios. Mauricio died in 2006 and is buried in
Grapevine Cemetery. Asencion still lives on the property.
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:

This 1,320 sq. ft. single-family one-story residence with detached garage is situated
on a corner lot at Austin Street and East Estill Street in the College Heights Addition
of the City of Grapevine. The house is set close to the street allowing for a large
back yard space. This original Folk-Victorian style house consisting of three rooms
in a T shape plan featured a steeply pitched hip roof and was built in 1912. A front
and back porch with shed roof were later enclosed to become small rooms. A later
addition built with a slab on grade foundation was added across the north face of
the original house. A one-car detached garage with storage area was constructed in
the back yard in the 1950s.
The house today is severely deteriorated with a failed foundation due to a lack of
critical repairs to the foundation. The house was recently condemned by the City
of Grapevine due to its deteriorated condition.
This property is located in the College Heights Addition that is listed on the National

This land tract was originally surveyed on April 11, 1854 by A.G. Walker, Deputy
Surveyor, Robertson Land District 311 Class. On January 22, 1845, Esther Moore
claimed 320 acres on a pre-emption grant from public domain *, which included this
property, filed with the Robertson Land District and the Denton Land District, five
years prior to the formation of Tarrant County. On October 18, 1912, Mattie "Dora"
McKibben purchased this lot to build a house. She was the daughter of Grapevine
pioneers Hezekiah A. and Nancy Willingham McKibben. Dora, the sixth of nine
children, was a schoolteacher and taught in Fort Worth and Grapevine schools.
Dora McKibben never married. (Dora McKibben died in 1965 and is buried in
Bedford, TX.)
On July 17, 1944, Miss McKibben sold the property to Noah C. "Cleve"and Cornelia
Berry Crowley. Cleve Crowley was one of 15 children born to William Jasper
Crowley (six children to Martha Jane "Mattie" Short Crowley who died in 1887, and
nine children born to Lola Denton Crowley.) Cleve and his brothers were in a band
called the "Rabbit Twisters"who played on WBAP Radio on Saturday mornings, and
at social events in the Grapevine area. Cornelia Crowley died in 1973 and Cleve
Crowley died in 1983. Both are buried in Grapevine Cemetery.
On January 9, 1974, the Crowleys sold the property to Mauricio Viera and Asencion
Reyna Rios. Mauricio died in 2006 and is buried in Grapevine Cemetery. Asencion
still lives on the property.
* Pre-Emptive Grant - From 1845 to 1854 homesteaders could claim 320 acres.
From 1854 to 1856, and 1866 to 1898, up to 160 acres could be claimed.
Homesteaders were required to live on the land for three years and make
improvements (such as building a barn) in order to qualify for a pre-emption grant of
160 acres.
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.
Page 4
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.
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
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.
Page 5
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. 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
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
Page 7
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. 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 20tn
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
Page 8
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.

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

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

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.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF

attached hereto and labeled Exhibit "B".
Section 2. That the City Manager is hereby directed to correct the official zoning
map of the City of Grapevine, Texas to reflect the "H" zoning designation.
Section 3. That in all other respects, the use of the tract or tracts of land herein
above described shall be subject to all the applicable regulations contained in said City of
Grapevine zoning ordinances and all other applicable and pertinent ordinances of the City
of Grapevine, Texas.
Section 4. That the zoning regulations and districts as herein established have
been made in accordance with the comprehensive plan for the purpose of promoting
health, safety, morals and the general welfare of the community. They have been
designed with respect to both present conditions and the conditions reasonably anticipated
to exist in the foreseeable future, to lessen congestion in the streets; to secure safety from
fire, panic, flood and other dangers; provide adequate light and air; to prevent
overcrowding of land, to avoid undue concentration of population; facilitate the adequate
provisions of transportation, water, sewerage, drainage and surface water, parks and other
public requirements, and to make adequate provisions for the normal business, commercial

consideration, among other things, of the character of the district, and its peculiar suitability
for the particular uses and with a view of conserving the value of buildings and encouraging
the most appropriate use of land throughout the community.
Section 5. That this ordinance shall be cumulative of all other ordinances of the
City of Grapevine, Texas affecting zoning and shall not repeal any of the provisions of said
ordinances except in those instances where provisions of those ordinances are in direct
conflict with the provisions of this ordinance.
Section 6. That the terms and provisions of this ordinance shall be deemed to be
severable and that if the validity of the zoning affecting any portion of the tract or tracts of
land described herein shall be declared to be invalid, the same shall not affect the validity

Section 8. That the fact that the present ordinances and regulations of the City of
Grapevine, Texas, are inadequate to properly safeguard the health, safety, morals, peace
and general welfare of the inhabitants of the City of Grapevine, Texas, creates an
emergency for the immediate preservation of the public business, property, health, safety
and general welfare of the public which requires that this ordinance shall become effective
from and after the date of its final passage, and it is accordingly so ordained.
