The house is an example of the Bungalow style; featuring a front gable roof with a lower
projecting gable roof over the front porch supported by original battered wood columns on
non -original stone masonry piers. The original porch wood floor has been replaced with
concrete. The original wood windows have been replaced with metal windows and non -
original wood siding sheaths the exterior walls. The current owners have also
constructed a detached, two story garage that compliments the character of the house.

The John Joseph (J.J.) and Minerva J. Dougherty House was constructed in c. 1923. Mr. Dough-
erty built the wood framed bungalow style home following purchase of the property from Jeb and
Florence Jenkins on June 13, 1923. The property is located in the Jenkins -Yates Addition to the
Town of Grapevine. The addition was platted in 1889 by Zeb Jenkins and J.E.M. Yates.
John Dougherty was born March 8, 1859 in Castlemore, Ontario Canada. Dougherty came to
Texas in the early 1880s. He married Minerva Jane McQuerry of Lebannon, Texas in 1886. The
Doughertys had two children, William Bernard and Mary Ruth. Mary Ruth married D.E. Box and
they moved to Grapevine in 1919. John and Minerva followed her to Grapevine.
Dougherty was a highly skilled carpenter and is credited with building many churches, schools,
and homes in North Texas including the two-story home he built in 1921 for his daughter at the
northeast comer of Franklin and Dooley. Dougherty was a Mason and also served as a director of
the Tarrant County National Bank. He died on March 1, 1935. Minerva Dougherty taught Sunday
School at the First Baptist Church of Grapevine and was active in the Bay View Club and the
Eastern Star. She died on May 16, 1953. She and Mr. Dougherty are buried in Laurel Land
Cemetery in Dallas.
Following their deaths, the house was sold to C.B. and Daisy Shafer in 1955. In 1980, C.B.'s heir,
William Shafer, deeded the property to Impact Investments, Inc. In 1983, the property was sold to
Timothy and Shena Bowling, the current owners.

N. NEW BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
Preface
The Dougherty House was constructed ca. 1923 by John and Minerva Dougherty. Mr. Dougherty
built the wood frame bungalow style home following purchase of the property from Jeb and Florence
Jenkins on June 13, 1923. The property is located in the Jenkins -Yates Addition to the City of
Grapevine, originally platted in 1889 by Zeb Jenkins and J.E.M. Yates.
The Dougherty House is significant to the culture and heritage of the City of Grapevine because it is
a good example of residential construction found throughout the Grapevine Area during its agricultural
proliferation and built by the area's middle class merchants and farmers.
John Dougherty was born March 8, 1859 in Castlemore, Ontario Canada. Dougherty came to Texas
in the early 1880s where he married Minerva Jane McQuerry of Lebannon, Texas in 1886. The
Doughertys had two children, William Bernard and Mary Ruth. Mary Ruth married D.E. Box and they
moved to Grapevine in 1919. John and Minerva followed her to Grapevine.
Dougherty House at 504 S. Dooley, Grapevine, Texas.
Dougherty was a highly skilled carpenter and is credited with building many churches, schools,
and homes in North Texas including the two-story home he built in 1921 for his daughter at the
northeast comer of Franklin and Dooley. Dougherty was a Mason and also served as a director of
the Tarrant County National Bank.
The house is an example of the Bungalow style; featuring a front gable roof with a lower projecting
gable roof over the front porch supported by original battered wood columns on non -original stone
masonry piers. The original porch wood floor has been replaced with concrete. The original wood
Page 3
windows have been replaced with metal windows and non -original wood siding sheaths the
exterior walls. The current owners have also constructed a detached, two story garage that
compliments the character of the house.
The current owners have applied for a Grapevine Township Revitalization grant to revitalize their
house. Completed work includes foundation repairs and leveling to the house, restoring/repairing
the original battered columns, installing a new front entry and painting the exterior of the home.
Allowing this property to authentically tell its own story of its period and time, while reinforcing the
historical period of significance (1923) 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 Dougherty House. 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 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
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.
Page 5 of 8
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
7 7rF i� . 1*1i
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.
Page 6
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
historic character of the house.
Appropriate incandescent light fixtures to the style of the district should be used.
Page 7
.. , .. M.,aa
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 (circa 1923),
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 20" 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.
