Include: cultural influences, special events and important personages, influences on neighborhood, on the city, etc. The Simmons House was built in 1937 for Hugh and Mary Virginia Simmons on land that had been owned by Hugh's parents, E.T. and Martha E. Simmons. The wood frame Tudor Revival house was built next door to the parents' house on ground that had once been a garden. Hugh Simmons and Mary Virginia Wall were married on June 18, 1937. Hugh was engaged in dairy farming with his brothers, and later, had his own dairy farm. Mary Virginia was a teacher. During her career, she taught school in Birdville, Grapevine, Coppell, and Carroll. She also was active in the Grapevine Historical Society and its publication of the book, Grapevine Area History. The Simmons had two children, Susan Eleanor and Thomas Wall. The Simmons moved from the house in 1967 but maintained ownership until 1982 when the house was sold to Marilyn Jean Ziober. From 1989 to 1995, the house was leased to the Grapevine Relief and Community Exchange (G.R.A.C.E.). It is now owned by Kenneth E. and Patricia L. Pulley. The house is an excellent local example of a wood frame, weatherboard Tudor Revival style house. Wood-sided examples of this style were built less frequently than their brick counterparts. Although this example lacks the steeply pitched roof that is often associated with this style, it does feature other hallmarks of the style. These include a prominent front gabled bay, a wing wall, a large chimney with chimney pots, and multi-light windows. In addition, the house is significant for its association with William Cameron & Company. This lumber company specialized in building low cost"modem" homes. The Cameron Company opened a store in Grapevine in 1917. It often featured house plans in the weekly issues of the Grapevine Sun. The plans and services provided by the company had a great impact on the types of homes built in Grapevine. It is not known how many of these houses were built in Grapevine but the Simmons House was built according to plans chosen from the company's catalog. It was constructed at a cost of$1,800. This price did not include electrical wiring and plumbing. 17. Bibliography Simmons, Mary Virginia. Interview with Susan Allen Kline. June 8, 1999. Solamillo, Stan.

The house was built on land that had been owned by Hugh's parent, E.T. and Martha Simmons who lived at 305 Smith Street. The Simmons House is significant to the culture and heritage of the City of Grapevine because it is a rare example of a Tudor Revival House found throughout the Grapevine Area. Hugh Simmons and Mary Virginia Wall were married on June 18, 1937. Hugh was engaged in dairy farming with his brothers and later, had his own dairy farm. Mary Virginia was a teacher and during her career, taught school in Birdville, Grapevine, Coppell and Carroll. She is also currently active in the Grapevine Historical Society and its publication of the book, Grapevine Area History. The Simmons had two children, Susan Eleanor and Thomas Wall. -J ,,,-••....,,,,,, ._..,...._,-,,,..„ ..,_,., _,.. „ , ,.,,,, .. . ,. • ,. ,.. _. ... ...... . , ,w . •,J _ , _ to � i,- ass i..; r ' L .1 x,„ ur.-. , € Pi 7 1.,- ., Y f. 4 Simmons House at 311 Smith Street, Grapevine, Texas. The Simmons House is an excellent local example of a Tudor Revival style house clad in a wide wood siding. The one-story house has a cross-gable, asphalt shingle roof with slightly overhanging eaves. Originally, the roof was covered with wood shingles. The main portion of the house is composed of a long, sided gabled wing. A front gable projects from the central part of the house. Underneath the peak of the gable is a small attic window that is flanked by wood shutters. Below this are paired 6/6 hung windows. Cr To the north is a smaller gable that is recessed back from the main gable bay. The peak of its roof is lower than the central bay and the northern wing wall extends almost to the ground. The primary entrance is located in this bay. To the left of the entrance bay is a Page 3 of 9 2 _ 2000 prominent wall-end brick chimney that is surmounted by two chimney pots. To the left of the chimney is a pair of 6/6 hung windows. Another pair of 6/6 windows is found at the far southern end of the facade. The south and north elevations reveal that the side gables have a more moderate pitch compared to the front gables. The windows on the side elevations are mostly paired and are also 6/6. A side entrance is located on the south elevation. This area of the house originally was constructed as a screened in porch during the early 1940s. But due to the shortage of screening material during World War 11, the porch was left open. Shortly after the war, the porch was enclosed and used as a bedroom for Mrs. Simmons' father, Clifford Wall. Another addition has been attached to the northeast corner of the house. Originally, the interior of the house was composed of two bedrooms, one bath, a living room, a dining room, and kitchen. The dining room had a built-in china cabinet and the kitchen had a built-in breakfast bar. The floors were covered with hardwood. A concrete storm cellar is located in the northeast corner of the yard. It was constructed shortly after World War 11. A detached, one-story side gabled garage is located in the southeast corner of the yard. The asphalt shingled roof has exposed rafter tails. The garage was built in 1937. In 1953-54, the Simmons added a room to it and converted it to living quarters for Mrs. Simmons' father. Allowing this property to authentically tell its own story of its period and time, while reinforcing the historical period of significance (1937) 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 Simmons House. 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 the home should reflect the character of the home during its period of significance. Constructed for residential use, it's 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 a primary historic style already existing in the home and shall be clearly compatible with and complimentary to its adjacent features. Page 4 of 9 AT:; 2 2000 S 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. Page 5 of 9 7, 2 I 2000 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 comer 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 modem 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 Page 6 of 9 2 2r13 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. Use same sash size to avoid filling in or enlarging the original opening. If drop ceiling is installed in the interior, be sure that it is slanted up at the window so that it will not cut into the window 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. Page 7 of 9 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. 4 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 (circa 1937), 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. Page 8 of 9 ADDITIONS TO HISTORIC BUILDINGS N, `� - 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 replacing 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.
