It is xepresentative of Grapevine's tppically smaller middle class housing found throughout the city fxom the period shortly after World War II.It is built in the popular minimal traditional xanch style of the early 1950's.The gable xoof pitch is a shallow 4'/2 to 12. The design of the exterior is asymetrical with projecting gabled pavillions offset to the left on the front elevation. Decorative wood posts support the porch roof and wood railings adorn the poxch.The win- dows are made of wood. Staff review of the duplex is that it is not of azchitectural significance. A xecent property survey reveiled that the house is located appxoxixnately 4 feet fxom the side property line on the north making it non-conforming to cuxxent zoning that requixes 6 feet�om side property lines. The duplex is in poor condition but could be rehabilitated. A buyer,has signed a letter of intent with the oumexs Craig Hurst and George Hurst to purchase the pxoperry with plans to demolish the e�sting duplex and to replace it with a new period-style house.The buyer has submitted documentation of existing conditions,proposed costs for renovation and has addressed xe-use of the structure. Evidence has been submitted indicating that renovating the duplex to serve as a family home is not feasible and would pose a hardship for the buyer. The new structuxe will be designed to be compatible with the character of Grapevine's historic housing. Staff will bring the pxoposed design to the commission as a separate Certificate of Appropriateness once the plans are deemed compatible. ��.3�� Exh��iT� to r • 5- Page ' _ of �'� .•` ��. �� •.± .f "� �F.. �� k-Y �Y F �'�n '.J- u� � 4 . � .. ..�. ��,'. .. . . � r»�g� *�� 5✓ 1 �� " t yn _ t ' . ,�� .. , ��{I�� ti �;' ��T, �.��A'�' ,::... :��.:". . � � .. .... .....:r.. 3£• � ..�� _.... flf�,�A $ � •;� {".,xy � .. .< f§, C�;:�. . ,..� :.�, x �... 420 East Wall Street Rear Elevation �r:•,�•., a � - ��a�y '� i �s z s a �� d' � �, l � * �i � �� , � � � 3.� a�.� �„{�,�i�� `� g '� `� ib a � t'�` �� ,.i� s . £ �.P�✓� �� g _ � �� r�� Z��a�� u � ��a��. : � �.:� ' - � �� ? �`,E�, : �N��y'.�e� ��..x�N �'a�`�`k��E�I4 .:/,l ,,� _ 4 i�'Ss�r`��I s' � 3� � ... �3��'� 4 hy-'2�, -i �� l :y �� Y i' S ' � -' � �� ..., � G r1- ..

The Hurst family resided there until they moved out of Grapevine in 1958.The duplex has served as xental property since that time.George and Craig Huzst,sons of G.E.Hurst Jr., inherited the property when their mother died in 2000. They lived in the duplex during theix early childhood years. 17. Bibliogxaphy ��n� Tarrant County Clerk's Office. Deed Records. EXHIBIT�._. TO -� Page F' of Taxrant County Historical Commission.

Period of Significance The period of significance for the district 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 home should reflect the character of the home 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 "Desiqn 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 properties in the 420 East Wall Street Historic Landmark Subdistrict. SITE Retain the historic relationships befinreen 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 Page 3 O:\Historic Preservation Commission�Design Guidelines for HL's\guidelines 420 E Wall Street.doc rxh�a�fi.� r 5-2�1 Pa�e � of ! �.�. 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 structu�-es. 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 fa�ade 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 fa�ade of a property. Utilitarian/privacy fences should not be installed in front of a historic building or beyond the line of the front farade 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 4 O:\Historic Preservation Commission\Design Guidelines for HL's\guidelines 420 E Wall Street.doc E�H1�iT...� TO Pag� 1.� .of 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 Page 5 0:\Historic Preservation Commission\Design Guidelines for HL's\guidelines 420 E Wall Street.doc _ E��:�ir�. ro ' a _ � Rags of 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. 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 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 inetal storm windows are installed, paint to blend with surrounding elements. ;� Page 6 O:\Historic Preservation Commission\Design Guidelines for HL's\guidelines 420 E Wall Street.doc EY�i1�iT� TO � � 5 ' Rag� �5 of 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. 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. 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 Page 7 O:\Historic Preservation Commission\Design Guidelines for HL'slguidelines 420 E Wall Street.doc E:(�-3��IT__�.__ TQ, 5- Pa�e —�—� of should be maintained. A new addition should, if at all possible, be located at the rear of the historic building. If �r�:� 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. �� Page 8 O:\Historic Preservation Commission\Design Guidelines for HL's\guidelines 420 E Wall Street.doc
