John Estill was the son of Charles C. Es#ill, lumber campany owner and prominent home artd school builder of the late 1800s and early 1900s. In 1919, John S. Estill was Treasurer of the Grapevine Producing Company which anticipated driiling a successful oil we1E in town. Many of Grapevine's citizens invested in the Grapevine Producing Company which issued stock certificates. Qne of#hese stock certificates as well as a par�oramic picture of the well site with the investors gathered around awaiting the time the well would came in are on display in the Grapevine Histarical Museum. The well was a dry hale, but the significance of the photagraph provides a wealth of information as regards local history and is ane of the museum's�nest treasurers. The third owner of this !ot was A. J. "Nabby" Thompson. Nabby was the son o# Samuel and Phaebe Thompson and the brother of local Grapevine character, Cotton Thompson. Nabby's given name was Andrew Jackson Thompson;Cotton's given name was Henry Dorris Thampsan (named for Grapevine physician, Dr.Tom Dorris). Another brother was Hubert C.ipscomb Thompson, alsa named far anather Grapevine citizen. In O�tober 1942, Nabby married Buelah Harston. They resided at the corner of Wall and Wood Street. Nabby was well known in #he area as a collector of"antiques." Page 3 : � • r 1 r l�..

Avoid rearranging the si#e by moving or removing buiidings and site features, such as walks, drives and fences,that help define the residence's his#oric value. SETBACKS Bui(ding setbacks should be consistent with adjacent buildings or with the style o# the building. Setbacks are an important ingredient in creating an attractive streetscape. Buiidings 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- o#-way. Residential buildings with a commercial use in residential areas should be set back in a manner consistent with setbacks af neighboring or similar residentiai structures. Maintain building orientation pattern, with #h� frant facade facing the street. Maintain spacing patterns befinreen buildings. DRIVEWAYS, PARKING LOTS AND VACANT SITES . Driveways should be lacated perpendicular to the street; na circular drives shalf be allowed (unless proven with his#oric documentatian} in front or corner side yard, so that the character of the landscaped yard can be reinfarced. New parking lots far commercial uses should not be located adjacent to sidewalks in the district. �ff-street parking lots shpuld nat be allowed to interrupt the continui#y of landscaped front ar corner side yards. This is important to both the preservation af historic character, and ta the strengthening of the residential distric#. Screen existing paricing lots frorn streets and pedestrian areas in the Historic District. Existing parking lots located adjacent to streets and sidewalks may be screened to#he height of car hoads. This will provide a certain level of cantinuit}r of the building fa�ade line; it will screen unsightly views; and it will provide a level of security by allowing views to and fram the sidewalk. FENCES Histarically,fences around histaric houses defined yards and the boundary around property and gardens. Woad picket fences, waad rail fences and barbed wire or decorat'sve wire fences were the common fence types in Grapevine. Tcaditionally, F'age 5 EXHIBIT�TO 6/ - Page _of�_ � 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 farade of a property. Utilitarian/privacy fences should not be installed in front of a historic building or beyond the line of the front fa�ade 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. �L °� All garbage and equipment storage areas should be screened from the street. �.a 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 presenred, or when preservation is not possibte 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 Page 6 EXHIBIT�TO � .� Page of�_ 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 respe�t 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. Page 7 EXHIBIT�TQ �/ -a 4'cS Page af�Q� Should the owner wish to install security bars, they shouid be insta{led on the interior of windows and doars. Storm windows. The use of interiar starm windows is encouraged. Starm windows are available which can be ins#alled on the interior of windows. This helps to preserve the exterior historic character of the building. Should storm windows need ta be insta(1ed on the exterior af#he histaric windows, storm windows constructed of waod and configured to match the historic sashes (i.e. one over one sashes} are recommended. If inetal storm windaws are installed, paint to blend with surrounding elements. EMBEC.�iSHMENTS AWNtNGS-CANtJPIES New awnings and canopies should not be installed abave windows or doors. " EXTERIOR LIGHTING �.ighting is an important element in residential areas. Fi�ctures should be cansistent '� -� 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 af a historic�xture. NEW BUILDING CONSTRUCTION INFILL The Secretary af the Interiar's guidelines for new buildings in historic districts encourage similarity af form and ma#erials, but not actual replication. New construction praposals and the rehabilitation of nan-historic buildings will be reviewed based on these Criteria. Judgement will be based on the compatibility of the design within the context af the property's adjacent and nearby histaric buildings. The design of new build'sngs should have key elements of the building's histaric period of significance including massing, scale, fenestration and materials. Infill buildings shoutd not be absolute reproductions, and appear as clearly contemporary. C}nly when a previously demolished historic Grapevine building can be accurately replicated may a reproductian be considered. � Infill buildings between historic buildings should be similar in setback, roof form, cornice line and materials, to one of the adjacent buildings. Reiate height of new Page 8 EXHIBIT�TO - � Page of� building to the heights of adjacent structures. Avoid new buildings that tower over existing ones. �� Horizontal wood siding (novelty,tongue and groove,shiplap orequivalent)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 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.

Historical Significance Statement of historical and cultural signifrcance. Include: cultural influences, special events and important personages, influences on neighborfiood, on the city, etc. The original owner of this lot was John Staples Estill, member of one of the distin- guished founding families of Grapevine. In 1919, John S. Estill was Treasurer of the Grapevine Producing Company which anticipated drilling a successful oil well in town. Many of Grapevine's citizens invested in the Grapevine Producing Company which is- sued stock certificates. One of these stock certificates as well as a panoramic picture of the well site with the investors gathered around awaiting the time the well would come in are on display in the Grapevine Historical Museum. The well was a dry hole, but the significance of the photograph provides a wealth of information as regards local history and is one of the museum's finest treasurers. John Estill was the son of Charles C. Es- till, lumber company owner and prominent home and school builder of the late 1800s and early 1900s. The third owner of this lot was A. J. "Nabby" Thompson. Nabby was the son of Samuel and Phoebe Thompson and the brother of local Grapevine character, Cotton Thomp- son. Nabby's given name was Andrew Jackson Thompson; Cotton's given name was Henry Dorris Thompson (named for Grapevine physician, Dr. Tom Dorris). Another � brother was Hubert Lipscomb Thompson, also named for another Grapevine citizen. In October 1942, Nabby married Buelah Harston. They resided at the corner of Wall and Wood Street. Nabby was well known in the area as a collector of"antiques." 17. Bibliography Grapevine Area History book, 1979, Charles H. Young, Editor. Historic tax cards and current TAD records. 18.
