Historical Significance
The house at 404 East Franklin Street is associated with numerous prominent Grapevine families.
The first owner, L. G. Chasteen, purchased the lot in 1945 and constructed the house in 1947-48.
His daughter, Lorine, married Jerry Pirkle, son of Grapevine mayor Willis Pirkle.
Curtis (Slim) and Minnie Oliver owned the house in 1954. Slim was at one time a Texas Ranger.
Their son, Larry, is one of Grapevine’s most prominent citizens and community servants. He had a
long career with the Grapevine-Colleyville ISD and has served on numerous boards and
commissions for the City of Grapevine; he is currently the chairman of the Grapevine Planning &
Zoning Commission.
Wallace Woodall and his wife Nell owned the house in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The Albert
Woodall family history began in Alabama. They moved to Grapevine in 1895. Mr. Woodall’s wife
died, leaving him with five children. He returned to Alabama and married Laura Evans. They had
five children together, giving them a family of ten children. Wallace Woodall was one of the ten
children.
Robert Stark and his wife Velma owned the house in the early 1960s to early 1970s. Mr. Stark is a
Grapevine icon through his association with Mayor B. R. Wall and his love for the people of Pitcairn
Island, Grapevine’s first “sister city” relationship. In January 1970, Robert Stark recorded in his
logbook weekly communication with Tom Christian, a descendant of Fletcher Christian, on Pitcairn
Island. Stark’s call letters were W50LG – Tom Christian’s were VR6TC. The logbook is now in the
Page 4
Grapevine Historical Museum. Mr. Stark communicated with the people on Pitcairn Island from a
small building in the backyard of his home at 314 East Franklin Street, two houses to the west of this
house.
Over the years several lienholders were members of the Simmons family – Mrs. Arthur Simmons and
Edward T. Simmons. The Simmons family, who came to Grapevine in 1897, and their relatives
(including the Withrow, Wood, Higgins and Wall families) are some of Grapevine’s best-known
pioneer families.
Map of the Original Town National Register Historic District
Subject property’s relationship to surrounding historic structures (circled in red)
The house and garage at 404 East Franklin Street are located in the 1907 College Heights Addition
to the City of Grapevine and are listed on the map of contributing properties to the Original Town
National Register Historic District. This Post-War minimal traditional style house is symmetrical in
appearance with a central projecting entrance porch. The gabled roof features exposed rafter tails.
The house is a Cameron Home which utilized plans and standard wood component parts available
from the Cameron Lumber Yard on Worth Street in Grapevine. The house is located in the center of
the lot and is set between three other Cameron homes also constructed during the 1940s. The house
was constructed on a pier and beam foundation and it features exterior materials including #105
wood siding and wood trim, wood windows and wood doors. The wood windows are configured with
six-over-six glass window panes. The east and west views of the house feature a decorative wood
louver attic ventilator grill mounted in the upper portion of the wall. Also exposed on the west view,
the original wood siding can be seen in place under the asbestos siding applied in later years. The
original and current roofing material is asphalt shingles. The exterior of the house is in fair condition.
Inside the house the front door opens into the living room with the kitchen to right beyond. A hallway
featuring a decorative wood telephone cabinet leads to front facing and rear facing bedrooms and a
hall bathroom. The interior finishes include hardwood floors, wood baseboards and trim and wood
panel doors. The interior of the house is in poor condition.

The original one-car garage with gabled roof and exposed rafter tails is a contributing structure to the
Original Town National Register Historic District. Its exterior is sheathed in #105 wood siding with
wood trim. The garage features a handmade vertical tongue and groove wood, tilt-up garage door
and a side entry door. The exterior of the garage is in fair to poor condition. The interior is in fair
condition.

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 façade 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 façade of a
property. Utilitarian/privacy fences should not be installed in front of a historic building or beyond the
line of the front façade of a historic building.
Page 7
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
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.
Page 8
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.
Page 9
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.
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 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.
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
Page 10
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.

BACKGROUND:
On June 19, 2023, David and Gloria Ewbank, owner/applicants, submitted #HL23-01 for the
property located at 404 East Franklin Street. This house was built in 1947 in the minimal traditional
style popular in Grapevine following World War II. This 780 sq. ft. one-story minimal traditional style
house is situated at 404 East Franklin Street and is associated with numerous prominent
Grapevine families. The first owner, L. G. Chasteen, purchased the lot in 1945 and constructed
the house in 1947-48. His daughter, Lorine, married Jerry Pirkle, son of Grapevine mayor Willis
Pirkle.
The property is located in the 1907 College Heights Addition to the City of Grapevine and its house
and garage are contributing structures to the Original Town National Register Historic District. This
Post-War minimal traditional style house is symmetrical in appearance with a central projecting
entrance porch. The gabled roof features exposed rafter tails. The house is a Cameron Home
which utilized plans and standard wood component parts available from the Cameron Lumber Yard
on Worth Street in Grapevine. The house is located in the center of the lot and is set between three
other Cameron homes also constructed during the 1940s. The house was constructed on a pier
and beam foundation and it features exterior materials including #105 wood siding and wood trim,
wood windows and wood doors. The wood windows are configured with six-over-six glass window
panes.
The original one-car garage with gabled roof and exposed rafter tails. Its exterior is sheathed in
#105 wood siding with wood trim. The garage features a handmade vertical tongue and groove
wood, tilt-up garage door and a side entry door.

The house at 404 East Franklin Street is associated with numerous prominent Grapevine families. The first
owner, L. G. Chasteen, purchased the lot in 1945 and constructed the house in 1947-48. His daughter, Lorine,
married Jerry Pirkle, son of Grapevine mayor Willis Pirkle.
Curtis (Slim) and Minnie Oliver owned the house in 1954. Slim was at one time a Texas Ranger. Their son,
Larry, is one of Grapevine's most prominent citizens and community servants. He had a long career with the
Grapevine-Colleyville ISD and has served on numerous boards and commissions for the City of Grapevine; he
is currently the chairman of the Grapevine Planning & Zoning Commission.
Wallace Woodall and his wife Nell owned the house in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The Albert Woodall
family history began in Alabama. They moved to Grapevine in 1895. Mr. Woodall's wife died, leaving him
with five children. He returned to Alabama and married Laura Evans. They had five children together, giving
them a family of ten children. Wallace Woodall was one of the ten children.
Robert Stark and his wife Velma owned the house in the early 1960s to early 1970s. Mr. Stark is a Grapevine
icon through his association with Mayor B. R. Wall and his love for the people of Pitcairn Island, Grapevine's
first "sister city" relationship. In January 1970, Robert Stark recorded in his logbook weekly communication
with Tom Christian, a descendant of Fletcher Christian, on Pitcairn Island. Stark's call letters were W50LG —
Tom Christian's were VR6TC. The logbook is now in the Grapevine Historical Museum. Mr. Stark communi-
cared with the people on Pitcairn Island from a small building in the backyard of his home at 314 East Franklin
Street, two houses to the west of this house.
Over the years several lienholders were members of the Simmons family — Mrs. Arthur Simmons and Edward
T. Simmons. The Simmons family, who came to Grapevine in 1897, and their relatives (including the Withrow,
Wood, Higgins and Wall families) are some of Grapevine's best-known pioneer families.

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 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.
Page 6
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
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.
Page 7
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 with the
Page 8
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 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.
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.
