Preface
� � Bill Millican purchased a parcel of land on Morehead Street(later renamed Texas Street)in 1935 from
the Farmers National Bank of Grapevine. The bank was liquidating its assets and Miilican purchased
the 150'x 348.5'tract(1.2 acres)for$150. He bought an adjoining piece of land measuring 25'x 150'
(.18 acres) in 1943 for $87.50. According to the tax records, this property had a house on it
constructed in 1930 and a metal shed constructed in 1925. However, a Sanborn Fire Insurance Map
from 1935 indicates that there were no buildings on this property at that time and a revised map from
1948-1956 indicates that they only building on the property was the main house.
The actual date of construction of the house has not been firmly established. A family member
reports that the home was constructed in 1934. Records of the Tarrant Appraisal District indicate that
it was constructed in 1935. However,there is not a house at this location on the 1935 Sanborn Map
and it is known that Mr. Millican did not purchase the property until 1935.

405 East Texas Street
Bill Millican was the son of Charles and Mary Millican. Charles Millican owned a blacksmith shop on
the east side of Main Street, south of the fire station. Bill worked with his father and the two ran the
business until November 1959 when the property was sold and the building torn down. According
Yo Bill's daughter, Mary,the shop was moved to his property on Texas Street. Bill and his wife, Helen,
had three children, Sharon, Charles, and Mary. Mr. Millican is deceased but Mrs. Millican continues
to live in the house.
The Millican House is a simple building that is best described as an example of a massed-plan side-
gabled family of the National Folk Style. Massed-plan houses are more than one room wide.
National Folk houses were commonly constructed in rural and urban communities throughout the first
� half of the twentieth century and as in this example; it was not uncommon for them to be owner-built.
Page 3
EXHIBIT.� TO ���.3
Page �_ of _!.�_._.
The Millican House also was influenced by the Bungalow/Craftsman style with its side gabled brick
. chimney on the west elevation and its integral porch on the east half of the farade. The original porch
columns were probably influenced by the Bungalow sryle as well.
The Millican house is a late example of a National Folk mass-plan,side gabled house with a rear side
gabled extension. The roof has slightly overhanging eaves and is sheathed with asphalt shingles.
The exterior walls are covered with non-original asbestos siding. The original wood siding remains
under this material.
The farade features a ribbon of three 2/2 divided windows (horizontal lights)on the left or west half
of the house. The right half of the house has an integral porch with a concrete floor. Supporting the
roof over the porch are three decorative wrought iron columns. The entrance to the house is located
on the east-facing wall under the porch. It has a non-original glazed panel daor with an art glass
window. To the right of the door is a single 1/1 window on the south-facing wall.
The west elevation has a yellow brick gable end chimney. Also on this elevation are paired windows,
a smaller set of triplet windows, and one single window. All have fiberglass awnings over them. The
side gabled extension at the northeast comer of the house was added approximately forty years ago.
It has an entrance on the south wall with a small porch roof supported by one wrought iron column.
The original portion of the south elevation has one set of paired windows and one single window.
An awning covers the paired windows. The east elevation of the extension has one window. A front
gabled screened-in porch on the rear of the house has been enclosed.
The Millican House is located on a 1.38 tract of land that contains several outbuildings. Behind the
house is a small-hipped roof house that was moved onto the property during the construction of the
� °° Dallas-Fort Worth Airport. It has beveled wood siding and paired and single windows. A small side
gabled building is a former pantry house that may be original to the property although it is not
,,�,� mentioned on the tax records and does not appear on a revised Sanbom May from the 1948-56 era.
Northwest of the main house is a side gable building covered with wide wood paneling. It has a
center window flanked by an entrance on either side. Northeast of the main house is a side gable
building that was built from material from Mr. Millican's blacksmith shop. It was moved from its
location on Main Street in the late 1950's. The building is composed of tow sections with the roof of
the right half of the building higher than the left half. The walls and roof are covered with vertical
corrugated metal siding. A vehicle opening is located on the west half of the south elevation. Early
tax records reveal that the property contained a 10'x 18'corrugated metal shed but this building did
not appear on the revised Sanborn Map. The property contains a gravel circular drive and a chain
link fence, as well as a tall wood fence on the northwest portion of the property.
The current owner has appfied for a Grapevine Township Revitalization grant to revitalize their house.
Completed repairs include repairing the existing foundation.
Allowing this property to authentically tell its own story of its period and time, while reinforcing the
historical Period of Significance (1935)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, 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 sryle already existing in the home and shall be clearly compatible with and
¢' ` complimentary to its adjacent features.

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 continuiry 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.
Page 6
_ - EXNI8IT� T o �° �o -3
Page .�— of _---�--
Wood privacy fences may be allowed when instailed in the rear yard and behind the front fa�ade of
- a property. Utilitarianlprivacy 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.
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.
s:�...,�
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
Page 7
` �
.�_ ,...._ . � _. . � EXHIBtT� TD ot .�---�
. pa�e
materials. The application of such modern synthetic materials often involves the removal of original
� decorative elements such as comice, 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
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
recommended.
If inetal 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.

. EXM Pa�a r ot _..l�:--
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, and appear as clearly contemporary. Only
,� p� 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`h century buildings
where the use of unpainted aluminum or steel was part of the original design and should be
` k 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
Page 9

Pege ._LQ.. of ...L�.-
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.
