College Street, Suite #318, legally described as Block 4, Lot 2R PER PLAT
D214062867, City of Grapevine. Preservation Officer Klempin presented this
item.
BACKGROUND:
Certificate of appropriateness application #CA25-02 was submitted by applicant Chuck
Tordiglione of Bull Lion Winery on January 3, 2025 to renovate the existing south facing
fagade of the building. The property is located within the College Street Residential
Historic District and is landmarked. The building was constructed in 1975 by Grapevine
businessman Bill Guest and was a part of the Guest Furniture Store. At the December
17, 2024 City Council Meeting #CU24-54 approval was given to relocate the Bull Lion
Winery currently located at 530 South Main Street into Suite#318 on the east end of the
building with the condition that within 90 days the applicant would submit at CA for
approval to the Historic Preservation Commission for the proposed changes to the
fagade; a legally-enforceable parking agreement with Blagg Tire, located at 604 South
Main Street, is provided and approved by the City Attorney and all seating will be inside
the building. An approved CA is required to obtain a Building Permit.
The building fagade is currently painted a medium gray color. There is a concrete awning
above the entrance to the building. An interior vestibule opens to three tenant spaces.
The proposed changes to the fagade follow the Design Guidelines of the College Street
Residential Historic District. The changes would be to repaint the fagade a
taupe/limestone color. The recessed accent strips would remain black and the concrete
awning would be painted black. New black metal awnings would be added above each
of the four windows on the front of the building. A number of gooseneck lights would be
installed along the length of the fagade at the top of the building, to light the building
front. A new tenant sign would be placed above the windows and the Bull Lion logo
medallion would be placed next to the vestibule entrance.
A mural in sepia tones is proposed on the southeast corner of the fagade on the tenant
space to visually attract and highlight the Winery at its new location, next door to its
former location in the historic Gulf Gas Station building at 530 South Main Street.
Staff recommends approval of#CA25-02 for renovations to existing south fagade of the
building to include: repainting in a new color scheme, installation of new metal awnings
over the windows; Installation of new gooseneck light fixtures; installation of a new tenant
wall sign and a logo medallion; installation of a new sepia tone mural; as per the attached
2025-01-22 HPC 2
drawings and site plan with the conditions all exterior materials, windows, doors and door
hardware, light fixtures and paint color selections be approved under a separate
Certificate of Appropriateness and that a building permit is obtained from the Building
Services Department.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Historic Preservation Commission approve with conditions the
Certificate of Appropriateness #CA25-02 for the property located at 150 East College
Street, legally described as Block 4, Lot 2R PER PLAT D214062867, City of Grapevine
to the Grapevine Historic Preservation Ordinance 91-73 (Appendix G - Grapevine Code
of Ordinances), as amended for the following items-
1. Renovations to existing south facade of the building to include:
a. Repainting the facade exterior in a new color scheme;
b. Installation of new metal awnings over the windows;
C. Installation of new gooseneck light fixtures;

Building Services Department.
HPO David Klempin said the color of the building will be a limestone kind of color and
there is no outdoor seating allowed.
Applicant Chuck Tordiglione came forward to speak. He said that the idea for the mural
was a suggestion of a City Council member to help draw the eye to the building. Mr.
Tordiglione is talking to a local artist, Stylle Reed about painting the sepia tone mural of
wine and grapes. When Bull Lion Ranch first presented to City Council the plans were
denied, after that the building owner stepped in to help out with the building plans and
that were later approved.
Vice-Chairman Telford said that she is excited to see the changes of the facade.
Commissioner Garcia said that adding the awnings and new color will make a striking
change to the building facade.
