REQUESTED HISTORIC LANDMARK SUBDISTRICT AND COMMENTS:
The applicant is requesting a Historic Landmark Subdistrict designation for property located
at 708 East Texas Street and Platted as Lot 9 Block 107 College Heights Addition.
The Historic Preservation Commission, at their June 27, 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.
On June 14, 2012 the owner of the property submitted an application for historic landmark
designation for the property at 708 East Texas Street. This vacant lot is located at the
south east corner of East Texas Street and Wood Street in the College Heights Addition to
the City of Grapevine that was established in 1907. This lot remained vacant until the
HL12.02.4 October 8,2012(2:34PM)
1980's when the Gideon family of Grapevine moved an old farm house from the west side
of Grapevine to the lot. The house had previously been moved to west Grapevine from
land where Lake Grapevine is located today. The Gideon's remodeled the house to serve
as their family home. The three-room, T —shaped house featured a 13 x 18 foot kitchen
that projected to the rear of the house, and was 732 square feet in size. The kitchen was
flanked by side porches which over the years were converted to serve as a bedroom and
bathroom. The Gideon's owned and occupied the house for about 20 years. It later
became rental property. In 2011 the current property owner donated the house to the City
of Grapevine.
The corner lot is 50 feet wide by 140 feet deep and has an additional side easement of
approximately 9 % feet to the curb line along the Wood Street side of the property giving
the vacant lot a spacious appearance.
PRESENT ZONING AND USE:
The property is currently zoned "R-7.5" Single Family District and is currently used as a
residential structure.
HISTORY OF TRACT AND SURROUNDING AREA:
The subject property and the surrounding properties to the north, south, east, and west
were zoned "R-1" Single Family District prior to the 1984 City Rezoning.
SURROUNDING ZONING AND EXISTING LAND USE:
NORTH: "R-7.5" Single Family Residential - residential structures
SOUTH: "R-MF-2" Multifamily District - multifamily complex

Gideon House at 708 East Texas Street, photo 2002
Lot 9 Block 107 is located at the south east corner of East Texas Street and Wood
Street in the College Heights Addition to the City of Grapevine that was established
in 1907. This lot remained vacant until the 1960's when the Gideon family of
Grapevine moved an old farm house from the west side of Grapevine to the lot.
The house had previously been moved to west Grapevine from land where Lake
Grapevine is located today. The Gideon's remodeled the house to serve as their
family home. The three-room, T—shaped house featured a 13 x 18 foot kitchen that
projected to the rear of the house, and was 732 square feet in size.. The kitchen
was flanked by side porches which over the years were converted to serve as a
bedroom and bathroom. The Gideon's owned and occupied the house for about 20
years. It later became rental property. In 2011 the current property owner donated
the house to the City of Grapevine.
The corner lot is 50 feet wide by 140 feet deep and has an additional side easement
of approximately 9 Y2 feet to the curb line along the Wood Street side of the property
giving the lot a spacious appearance. The lot is currently vacant.
The College Heights Addition was established in 1907 when Grapevine became
Incorporated Town. It is a significant part of the Original Town Residential Historic
District which is a cohesive grouping of residential buildings, set in a historically
appropriate natural and man-made landscape that represents the late nineteenth
and early twentieth century residential history of Grapevine.
Surviving basically intact are dwellings representing a variety of vernacular forms
and nationally popular domestic architectural styles from the 1880s to the 1940s.
The architectural fabric within the neighborhood reflects the distinctive architectural
characteristics of late 19th and early 20th century residential buildings. Its buildings
hold an association with people and events that made a significant contribution to
the history of Grapevine. Its homes are tangible reminders of the community's
settlement and early years of prosperity; reflect the architectural traits, pattems of
Page 3
land use and other elements of landscape that embody the period 1880s to 1940s;
and help to tell the story of the families and individuals who contributed to the
growth and development of Grapevine.
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 continuity of
the building facade 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
Page 4
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
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
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
Page 5
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
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
Page 6
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.
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.
Page 7
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 20th
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
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.
