Weldon farmed land on the Grapevine Prairie and was later employed by Fortune Contractors of Fort Worth for whom he worked for twenty-three years. Weldon and Lois had one son, Glenn,who was I�orn in 1938. In 1945, the O'Neals constructed the home at 703 Ball Street on land they had purchased from S.A. Knight. These two adjacent tracts were located in the A. Foster Survey along the west city limits of Grapevine on the east side of the old Grapevine-Fort Worth Road, now know as Ball Street. Mr. O'Neal did most of the construction and plumbing himself. He had some assistance ftom the home's future owner, Carrell Bectol Dyer. Mr. Dyer's wife, Royce Jean Robinson Dyer, was Mrs. O'Neal's sister. The Dyers had moved to Grapevine from Denton County in 1943. r � Y�� 3 � a�X'r.C� ,�,V...�� .Y y�+ , � 5 h � y„� ` .f-^'� fi �'� '��:. � � ry,f'� � �' -S 5 ,},;Sytn. � S p r, 1 '' ? �"� �� r "�J ��. �S�� « ,7 F�T��t�~ f '.6+�� #.� �r a �a} v ,�`� � G j � . - i� � � r�,�,f.

In 1952, the Dyers purchased the house from the O'Neais. At that time, the wood sided extension containing the living room was added to the house. The O'Neals built another house at 649 West Hudgins. Its exterior aiso is composed of the same structurai block as the house at 703 Ball. Similarly, Mr. O'Neal built the house to the south of 703 Ball of the same material. The Dyers had two children, Jackie Harold and Royce Carolyn. Mr. Dyer worked for the Texlite Company of Dailas for thirty-four years and then worked as a maintenance man for an apartment complex in Grapevine. He passed away in 1993. Mrs. Dyer drove a school bus for the Grapevine schools for thirty-two years. She remains active driving a bus for the Senior Citizens of Grapevine and still lives in the home. � Constructed on the western edge of the ciry limits, the O'Neal-Dyer House is significant for its association with the mid-twentieth century residential growth of Grapevine away from the city's core. Page 3 EXNIBIT�. To ��r��" �� . Page _._;�. of ...L�_. As the older portions of the city were developed prior to the war, after the war, new development grew up along the city's edges. The O'Neal-Dyer House also is significant as an example of mid- �:�_--_-� century residential architecture that was influenced by the stripped down ornamentation of the Depression and World War II eras. Because of material shortages caused by the war effort, Mr. O'Neal constructed his house of a material not commonly used for residential construction. It is one of the few houses in Grapevine constructed of structural blocks. As noted above, two other houses also built by Mr. O'Neal were constructed of similar material even though they were built a few years after the war. The O'Neal-Dyer House is a one-story home influenced by the Minimal Traditional style of architecture. The asphalt-shingled roof has a front gable with a rear hip and an intersecting side gable. It is unusuaf in that the exterior walls are constructed of a yellow or buff colored striated enlarged brick or structural block with the exception of a southern wing added in 1952. It is covered with dropped wood siding. Most of the windows are 6/6 wood hung units. Angled-cut wood window and door lintels provide some decorative detail. A front gable bay is located on the north end of the fa�ade,which faces west toward Ball Street. The gable end is covered with vertical wood siding and has an attic vent. Below the gable are paired 6/6 wood hung windows. At the south end of the gable bay is a small integral porch that has a segmental arched opening with a cast lintel. Undemeath the porch are two entrances;one on the south wall and one on the west wall. The wood doors are glazed panel and are protected with wood framed screen doors. A concrete slab serves as a porch floor in front of the brick portion of the house. The southern extension also has a small projecting gable over another west-facing entrance. The gable is supported by simple 4"x 4"posts. A wood slab door is under this gable. In addition,there is one 6/6- hung window between the two west-facing entrances and another 6/6 window to the right of the southernmost entrance. �'�" The south elevation has vertical wood siding on the gable end and an attic vent. Below the vertical siding are three single 6/6 windows. The north elevation has two smaller 1/1 windows on the east half and paired 6/6 windows on the west half. The rear or east elevation has an EI-shape with a slightly projecting bay on the north end. There is a single window in this bay. An entrance stoop is located on the southern end of the bay. To the left of the bay are paired 6/6 windows. On the wood- sided wing is a single 6/6 window. The interior of the house has a kitchen, one bathroom, two bedrooms, and a smaller bedroom that is currently being used as a utility room. The living room is located in the 1952 addition. With the exception of the addition,which is nearly fifty years old, the house is remarkably intact, both on the interior and the exterior. The front yard slopes down from Ball Street to the house. Hudgins Street, although not a through street off of Ball Street, runs along the north side of the property line. East of the house near Hudgins Street is a front gabled frame one-car garage covered with metal siding. A metal storage shed is in the middle of the south side of the yard. A chain link fence surrounds portions of the rear yard. The Minimal Traditional style of architecture became popular during the Depression of the1930's and continued in popularity until the early 1950's. This style combined the form of the more traditional Period Revival styles of the previous decades. Roof pitches are generally low rather than steep as in the Tudor Revival styles. The Minimal Traditional house typically has close eaves and rake, _ F� although here they are slightly overhanging. This style also typically has a front gable as in this example. The arched porch opening, although segmental instead of rounded or pointed arched, is �,.,,� also reminiscent of the Tudor Revival style. The O'Neal-Dyer house was built at the end of World War II at a time when there was still a shortage Page 4 . . . EXH181T_,�.., TO �Cd-�CIf'� /?r�/J� . .. Pa9e -.� of _,,LL_,_ of construction material. This accounts for the use of the structural block on the exterior. This material was more common in commercial construction, particularly on secondary elevations, rather than residential construction. The current owner has applied for a Grapevine Township Revitalization grant to restore their house. Completed repairs,to date, include: a new roof, repair of exterior wood siding, repair of deteriorated wood windows, installation of traditional wood framed window screens and painting the exterior of the house. Allowing this property to authentically tell its own story of its period and time, while reinforcing the historical Period of Significance(1945-52)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. 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, iYs 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 5 EXHIBIT TO :�ac, - � Page �_ o� �,, 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 focated 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 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 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 fa�ade of �'�` a property. Utilitarian/privacy fences should not be installed in front of a historic building or beyond Page 6 EXHIBIT� TO �?��-�'� the line of the front fa�ade of a historic building. Pa98 �-- Of .�-- 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, omament and materials. Any missing or severely deteriorated elements may be replaced with replicas of the original. Ensure �y"� that roof,window, porch and comice 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 sryle 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 applicafion 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 Page 7 EXHI8IT�-- TO /�'y��%�'O/- �� Page _.�—.-- of .�-- 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 respect the historic building. The Historic Preservation Commission shall adopt, as necessary, a paint palette(s)appropriate to the districYs 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 rec�mmended. If inetal storm windows are instatled, paint to blend with surrounding elements. EMBELLISHMENTS AWNINGS-CANOPIES New awnings and canopies should not be installed above windows or doors. Page 8 . EXHIBtT� TO .��= Page .r °,�i of _!l'� EXTERIOR LIGHTING � Lighting is an important element in residential areas. Fixtures should be consistent with the historic character of the house. Apprnpriate 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 fNFILL 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. � m 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`h century buildings where the use of unpainted aluminum or steel was part of the original design and should be maintained. n� , 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. �w.�;� Page 9 EXHI8IT...L� TO L��1��'��°L Page � of � New verticai 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. Page 10
