REQUESTED HISTORIC LANDMARK SUBDISTRICT AND COMMENTS:
The applicant is requesting a Historic Landmark Subdistrict designation for property located
at 527 South Dooley Street and legally described as Lots 5 & S 6' of 6 Block 117 College
Heights Addition and Tract 2M, Abstract 1029 Esther Moore Survey.
The Historic Preservation Commission, at their January 25, 2012 meeting, adopted the
preservation criteria for the subject property addressing such issues as setbacks,
driveways, parking, exterior finishes and other architectural embellishments to preserve the
historic integrity of the property.
William Floyd Deacon was the eldest son of William Douglas and Edna Deacon. William
Douglas Deacon,together with Kirby Buckner, established the feed mill that became B&D
HL12.01.4 1 June 11,2012(10:21AM)
Mills, an important industry in Grapevine. William Floyd Deacon (1910-1995)grew up on
the family farm near Euless (the house was later moved to 204 S. Dooley Street c. 2002
when the family donated the building to the City of Grapevine). He attended college at
North Texas State in Denton where he majored in Business. It was there that he met
Helen Kent (1907-2000). Helen received a degree in Home Economics from North Texas
State and taught school until the two were married in 1932 in her hometown of Corsicana,
Texas. Because of the Depression,they both could not teach so Mrs. Deacon quit her job.
Mr. Deacon coached football for eight years in Graham, Texas before returning to
Grapevine and joining his father in the milling business.
The William Floyd and Helen Deacon House is significant for its association with a figure
important to the political and commercial life of Grapevine. It is also an excellent local
example of a Colonial Revival style house built in Grapevine in the years just before the
beginning of World War II. The style was not commonly built in the town after 1935 and
like those that were built during this period, the Deacon House is a side-gabled version.
Another example of a late version can be found just to the north at 513 S. Dooley, built in
1941 by the Wm Cameron & Company Lumber Yard.

Located on the east side of South Dooley Street, the William Floyd and Helen Deacon House is
an example of a 1 '/2 -story, side-gabled, wood-framed Colonial Revival style single family
dwelling. The main block of the house has a symmetrical composition with a centered entrance
accented with a door surround featuring a broken pediment. Flanking the entrance on either side
are two 616 double hung wood windows, each flanked by shutters, a common characteristic of
this style of house. The roof is covered with asphalt shingles and has two front-gabled dormers
with 313 double hung wood windows, another common feature of this style.
Extending from the south elevation is a 1-story, flat-roofed wing. This was originally a screened-
in porch that was enclosed c. 1951-52. The roof is surrounded by a wood balustrade and serves
as a balcony that is accessible from the southwest bedroom on the second story(original attic)
level.
When the house was originally completed, it had three bedrooms downstairs and an unfinished
attic. At the same time that the screened-in porch was enclosed, the attic was finished out and
structural changes were made downstairs. A fireplace was taken out of the east wall of the living
room and a faux fireplace was placed on the south wall. One of the smaller bedrooms downstairs
became cart of the living room and a hallway. Three bedrooms were added on the attic level.
A concre--e sidewalk runs parallel to the street with a concrete sidewalk running perpendicular to is
and accet�sing the front entrance. Several large deciduous trees grace the front lawn.
16. Historical Significance
Statement of historical and cultural significance. Include: cultural influences, special events and
important personages, influences on neighborhood, on the city, etc.
William Floyd Deacon was the eldest son of William Douglas and Edna Deacon. William Douglas
Deacon, together with Kirby Buckner, established the feed mill that became B & D Mills, an important
industry in Grapevine. Prominently placed on Main Street at the intersection of Highway 121, the
facility remains an important landmark on the south edge of Grapevine's central business district.
From 1939 to 1973, the business was solely owned by the Deacon family.
William Floyd Deacon (1910-1995) grew up on the family farm near Euless (the house was later
moved to 204 S. Dooley Street c. 2002 when the family donated the building to the City of
Grapevine). He attended college at North Texas State in Denton where he majored in Business. it
was there that he met Helen Kent (1907-2000). Helen received a degree in Home Economics from
North Texas State and taught school until the two were married in 1932 in her hometown of
Corsicana, Texas. Because of the Depression, they both could not teach so Mrs. Deacon quit her
job. Mr. Deacon coached football for eight years in Graham, Texas before returning to Grapevine
and joining his father in the milling business.
On August 27, 1938, R. Lee and Clara Treatt sold a portion of the E. Moore Survey measuring 70 feet
by 120 feet to Mr. Deacon. It was on that plot of ground that Mr. and Mrs. Deacon constructed a
Colonial Revival style house in c. 1940. Mrs. Deacon received the plans for the house from her sister
who was living in Mississippi. It was at this house that they raised their two children, Judy Deacon
Jacobs and Bill Deacon.
William Floyd Deacon served as mayor of Grapevine from 1947-1948. During his tenure, the town's
sewer system was repaired. This was a project that had been deferred for years on account of the
Depression and then World War II. He was also active in the initial planning for Grapevine Lake. Mr
Deacon remained active in civic affairs, later serving on the school board. He was also active in the
First Methodist Church. In 1965, he served on the Charter Commission that drafted a Home Rule
Charter. An election resulting in the adoption of the home rule charter was held in November 1965.
Mrs. Deacon was active in the '36 Club, a self-study club that met in members' homes. Like most
members, she served as president of the group. She taught Sunday School at the First Methodist
Church and was a Girl Scout Leader.
The Deacons moved from the house on Dooley to 105 Cross Street in 1965. The house was sold to
Bert H. and Anna Starr that same year. The Starrs owned the home until 1970 when it was
purchased by Alfred and Margaret Heim. The Heims in turn owned it until selling it to the current
owners, David D. Jr. and Gayle A. Dyke, in 1998.
The William Floyd and Helen Deacon House is significant for its association with a figure important to
the political and commercial life of Grapevine. It is also an excellent local example of a Colonial
Revival style house built in Grapevine in the years just before the beginning of World War 11. The
style was not commonly built in the town after 1935 and like those that were built during this period,
the Deacon House is a side-gabled version. Another example of a late version can be found just to
the north at 513 S. Dooley, built in 1941 by the Wm Cameron & Company Lumber Yard.

Preface
William Floyd Deacon was the eldest son of William Douglas and Edna Deacon.
William Douglas Deacon, together with Kirby Buckner, established the feed mill that

527 South Dooley Street
Located on the east side of South Dooley Street, the William Floyd and Helen
Deacon House is an example of a 1 '/2 -story, side-gabled, wood-framed Colonial
Revival style single family dwelling. The main block of the house has a symmetrical
composition with a centered entrance accented with a door surround featuring a
broken pediment. Flanking the entrance on either side are two 616 double hung
wood windows, each flanked by shutters, a common characteristic of this style of
house. The roof is covered with asphalt shingles and has two front-gabled dormers
with 313 double hung wood windows, another common feature of this style.
4
Extending from the south elevation is a 1-story, flat-roofed wing. 'this was originally
a screened-in porch that was enclosed c. 1951-52. The roof is surrounded by a
wood balustrade and serves as a balcony that is accessible from the southwest
bedroom on the second story (original attic) level.
When the house was originally completed, it had three bedrooms downstairs and an
unfinished attic. At the same time that the screened-in porch was enclosed, the
attic was finished out and structural changes were made downstairs. A fireplace
was taken out of the east wail of the living room and a faux fireplace was placed on
the south wall, One of the smaller bedrooms downstairs became part of the living
room and a hallway. Three bedrooms were added on the attic level.
A concrete sidewalk runs parallel to the street with a concrete sidewalk running
perpendicular to it and accessing the front entrance. Several large deciduous trees
grace the front lawn.
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.
5
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 fagade 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 fagade of a property.
Utilitarian/privacy fences should not be installed in front of a historic building or
beyond the line of the front fagade 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
'RESERVATION
i
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.
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
7
r%
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.
8
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 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 forthe 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 201n
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
9
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.
