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. The C. L. and Vera Fay Chambers House was constructed c. 1959 in the College Heights Addition to Grapevine, Texas. It is believed to be the smallest house in the city, containing approximately 680 square feet. It is a contemporary version (post 1940)of a traditional folk style; the Side Gable. The house is a basic rectangle with a shed-roofed carport(likely not HL12.02.4 1 June 13,2012(3:45PM) original) attached on the west elevation and enclosed on its west and rear (north) elevations. The C. L. and Vera Fay Chambers House is representative of post-World War II housing constructed in Grapevine that was built to serve two purposes. The construction of the house not only provided additional housing in Grapevine's core during a period of rapid development but also provided additional income for the home's builder. At the time of the home's construction, the Chambers were living in nearby Irving, Texas.

L. and Vera Fay Chambers House was constructed c. 1959 in the College Heights Addition to Grapevine, Texas. It is believed to be the smallest house in the city, containing approximately 680 square feet. it is a contemporary version (post 1940) of a traditional folk style; the Side Gable. The house is a basic rectangle with a shed-roofed carport(likely not original) attached on the west elevation and enclosed on its west and rear(north) elevations. The side-gabled roof has a slight eave overhang. The entrance is located off-center toward the left (west) half of the house and contains a four-panel door and a full-light storm door. From the southwest corner of the house to a few feet east of the entrance, the roof has a slightly deeper overhang. Below this overhang and to the left of the entrance is a 111 large window. Near the right end of the front elevation are large paired 111 windows. The windows and door are surrounded by a simple wood trim. The exterior of the house was rehabilitated in 2011. Prior to that, the lower portion of the fagade below the windows was sheathed with a vertical board wainscoting. A wide siding was applied vertically on the upper wall of that section of the house below the extended eave overhang. The other portion of the upper fagade was covered with a horizontal siding. A trim similar to that used around the entrance and windows divided the wainscoting from the upper portion of the wall. During the rehabilitation, this siding was removed and the exterior of the house was covered with a wide width Hardiboard. A small projecting gable was added above the front door. The fascia boards of the gable have a scalloped design. Shutters flanking the windows were also added. A concrete slab replaced a wood frame porch floor immediately in front of the entrance. The house faces south. An asphalt driveway extends from the street to the carport. A low curb separates the front yard from the street. 96. Historical Significance Statement of historical and cultural significance. include: cultural influences, special events and important personages, influences on neighborhood, on the city, etc. The College Heights Addition was platted by D. E.Austin in 1907 out of 33.88 acres of the Esther Moore Survey. In 1922, John B. Wood, B. B.Wall and John Estill sold Lots 3-6 of Block 100 of the College Heights Addition as well as several other parcels in that addition to C. J. Wall. In May 1923, Mr. Wall, along with his wife, Beulah, sold Lots 3-6 of block 100 to J. C. Chambers. Chambers also acquired Lots 7-8 of that same block. Tarrant County tax records indicate that a house constructed c. 1908 was located on Lot 8 and that Lots 5-7 remained vacant for a number of years. According to his obituary published in the Dallas Morning News on May 31, 1951, Chambers came to Grapevine around 1926 but the deed records suggest that he may have been in Grapevine as early as 1923. He was 74 years old at the time of his death and had a career as a teacher and superintendent at Red Oak and Crum. He retired before World War Il but returned to teaching during the war and then retired when the war ended. Chambers and his wife had one son, C. L. Chambers, who lived in Irving, Texas at the time of J. C.'s death. C. L. (Claude Lanier) and his wife, Vera Fay Satterfield Chambers, acquired Lots 3-8 in Block 100 of the College Heights Addition following his father's death. C. L. and Vera Fay both grew up in Grapevine and were married in 1931. In March 1957 they took out a Deed of Trust in the amount of $5300. It is possible that the Chambers used this money to construct the house that is presently on Lot 6. The records of the Tarrant Appraisal District give the date of construction of 521 Estill as 1959 which would correspond to this timeframe. The Deed of Trust states that Lots 3-8 of Block 100 did not form a part of C. L. and Vera l=ay's homestead which suggests that they built the house for rental income. Claude Lanier Chambers attended what is now the University of Texas at Arlington and was engaged in banking before World War II. Following service in the war, he and Vera Fay moved to Irving where he worked in the oil industry. In 1960, he formed his own real estate firm, the C. L. Chambers Real Estate Company. The Chambers moved back to Grapevine in 1977. He retired in 1988 and died in January 1990 at the age of 79. Vera Fay had attended Trinity University and taught for a year at Pleasant Run School. She then became a buyer and merchandiser for Sanger Brothers beginning in 1928, then with A. Harris, and finally Sanger-Harris stores, retiring in 1979. She died in April 2005 at the age of 97. Following C. L.'s death, Vera Fay sold Lots 3-6 of Block 100 and Lot 3 of Block 101, College Heights Addition to David Winters on November 30, 1992. The house at 521 Estill was sold to Geoffrey M. Thomas in May 2010. The current owners purchased the property in May 2011. In 1940, Grapevine had a population of 1,043 and between 1950 and 1960, the population increased from 1,824 to 2,821, a total of 170 percent in twenty years. In 1956, the Dallas Morning News published an article titled "Grapevine Has Huge Potential."The article stated that the city's strategic location midway between Fort Worth and Dallas and adjacent to developing industrial districts made it an ideal location for both residents and new businesses. The events described in the article likely encouraged the Chambers to construct a home for income purposes. The C. L. and Vera Fay Chambers House is representative of post-World War II housing constructed in Grapevine that was built to serve two purposes. The construction of the house not only provided additional housing in Grapevine's core during a period of rapid development but also provided additional income for the home's builder. At the time of the home's construction, the Chambers were living in nearby Irving, Texas. IT Bibliography "Chambers-Vera Fay." Dallas Morning News, April 11, 2005 (via Newsbank, accessed 1-9-2012).

In 1940, Grapevine had a population of 1,043 and between 1950 and 1960, the 3 H L 12-02 population increased from 1,824 to 2,821, a total of 170 percent in twenty years. In 1956, the Dallas Moming News published an article titled "Grapevine Has Huge Potential." The article stated that the city's strategic location midway between Fort Worth and Dallas and adjacent to developing industrial districts made it an ideal location for both residents and new businesses. The events described in the article likely encouraged the Chambers to construct a home for income purposes. The C. L. and Vera Fay Chambers House is representative of post-World War II housing constructed in Grapevine that was built to serve two purposes. The construction of the house not only provided additional housing in Grapevine's core during a period of rapid development but also provided additional income for the home's builder.At the time of the home's construction,the Chambers were living in nearby Irving, Texas. i u a r. I 521 Estill Street The C. L. and Vera Fay Chambers House was constructed c. 1959 in the College Heights Addition to Grapevine, Texas. It is believed to be the smallest house in the city, containing approximately 680 square feet. It is a contemporary version (post 1940)of a traditional folk style; the Side Gable. The house is a basic rectangle with a shed-roofed carport (likely not original) attached on the west elevation and enclosed on its west and rear (north) elevations. The side-gabled roof has a slight eave overhang. The entrance is located off-center toward the left (west) half of the house and contains a four-panel door and a full- 4 H L12-02 light storm door. From the southwest corner of the house to a few feet east of the entrance, the roof has a slightly deeper overhang. Below this overhang and to the left of the entrance is a 111 large window. Near the right end of the front elevation are large paired 911 windows. The windows and door are surrounded by a simple wood trim. The exterior of the house was rehabilitated in 2011. Prior to that, the lower portion of the fagade below the windows was sheathed with a vertical board wainscoting.A wide siding was applied vertically on the upper wall of that section of the house below the extended eave overhang. The other portion of the upper facade was covered with a horizontal siding.A trim similar to that used around the entrance and windows divided the wainscoting from the upper portion of the wall. During the rehabilitation, this siding was removed and the exterior of the house was covered with a wide width hardiboard. A small projecting gable was added above the front door. The fascia boards of the gable have a scalloped design. Shutters flanking the windows were also added. A concrete slab replaced a wood frame porch floor immediately in front of the entrance. The house faces south. An asphalt driveway extends from the street to the carport. A low curb separates the front yard from the street. 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 5 H L 12-02 allowed (unless proven with historic documentation) in front or comer 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 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 facade of a property. Utilitarian/privacy fences should not be installed in front of a historic building or beyond the line of the front facade 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 6 HL12-02 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. 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 modem 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. 7 12-02 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. 8 H L 12-02 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. Judgment will be based on the compatibility of the design within the context of the properties 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 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. 9 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. 1 ORDINANCE NO.
