Chairman Gilliam called on David Klempin to present the case. BACKGROUND On March 23, 2016, applicant/owner Neil Cooper of Copper Street Homes submitted an application for Historic Landmark designation, #HL16-04, for property located at 626 East Wall Street in the College Heights Addition of the City of Grapevine. The house is set back on the lot with a front lawn framed by mature trees. The small house and outbuilding totaling 500 square feet were constructed by the Estill family builders in 1938. The house is built in the Arts and Crafts style popular in the 1930s. The original four -room house was later expanded with a kitchen/dining area addition on the west side of the house. The original front porch was enclosed to become a vestibule. A rear porch was enclosed to become living space. An original outbuilding located to the rear of the house was added onto several times, to serve as a workshop and as a storage area for antiques. The original owner of this lot was Benjamin Richard Wall, one of the most significant citizens in Grapevine history. He served as Grapevine's mayor for over 20 years, leading Grapevine through the WWI and WWII years. He was instrumental in promoting Grapevine as a great place to live, work and do business. The second owner of this property, who built the house in 1938, was Mrs. Beulah Harston. Records indicate she had a son, Sammy Harston. Mrs. Harston contracted with the Estill family to build the house. The Estill's were well respected Grapevine home and school builders. Beulah married A. J. "Nabby" Thompson in October 1942. Nabby was the son of Samuel and Phoebe Thompson and the brother of local Grapevine character, Cotton Thompson. Nabby's given name was Andrew Jackson Thompson; Cotton's given name was Henry Dorris Thompson (named for Grapevine physician, Dr. Tom Dorris). Another brother was Hubert Lipscomb Thompson, also named for another Grapevine citizen. Nabby and Beulah resided at the corner of Wall and Wood Streets. Nabby was well known in the area as a collector of antiques. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommended approval of the Historic Overlay #HL16-04 to record the history of the house and the property and to allow the Historic Preservation Commission to have input in the development of the property. A set of the proposed design guidelines for the property were attached.

BACKGROUND On March 23, 2016, applicant/owner Neal Cooper of Copper Street Homes submitted an application for Historic Landmark designation, #HL16-03, for property located at 622 East Wall Street in the College Heights Addition of the City of Grapevine. The original owner of this lot was John Staples Estill, member of one of Grapevine's distinguished founding families. John Estill was the son of Charles C. Estill, a lumber company owner and prominent home and school builder of the late 1800s and early 1900s. In 1919, John S. Estill was treasurer of the Grapevine Producing Company which anticipated drilling a successful oil well in town. Many of Grapevine's citizens invested in the Grapevine Producing Company which issued stock certificates. One of these stock certificates as well as a panoramic picture of the well site with the investors gathered around awaiting the time the well would "come in" are on display in the Grapevine Historical Museum. The well was a dry hole, but the significance of the photograph provided a wealth of information for local history. April 27, 2016 HPCIMinutes12016 4 HPC 04.27.16 The third owner of this lot was A. J. "Nabby" Thompson. Nabby was the son of Samuel and Phoebe Thompson and the brother of local Grapevine character, Cotton Thompson.

There is an attached 416 square feet rear entry garage to be accessed from Estill Street.

Chairman Gilliam called on the applicant, Neal Cooper of Copper Street Homes, to speak. Mr. Cooper explained the plans were created from several homes in the Township and Cameron Lumber Company homes; he noted the great response he has had on the "swoop" roof on his new build cottage style house on Worth Street. Mr. Cooper said he was sharing the longtime yellow iris growing at the 622 East Wall Street property with three area garden clubs and several homes within the Township and probably more if anyone was interested in obtaining these heritage plants.

April 27, 2016 HPCIMinutes12016 6 HPC 04.27.16 BACKGROUND On January 27, 2016, applicant/owners, Neal and Lorie Payne, submitted an application for Historic Landmark designation, #HL16-05, for property located at 503 East Worth Street in the College Heights Addition of the City of Grapevine. This bungalow style home was built in 1908 by the prolific Grapevine builders Frank and Charles Estill for the C. J. Wall family. The horizontal design of the house and such detailing as the "wings" on the tapering porch columns and the cresting on the roof, lend an air of brisk modernity to the house. The structure features a front porch spanning the width of the house which faces south, with two large picture windows flanking the front door. A breezeway attaching the garage to the house was added later. This house is listed as a contributing property of the College Heights Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Two pioneer Grapevine families were joined on Nov. 8, 1906, when Beulah Estill married Clifford Jenkins Wall. They both were born in Grapevine and both were graduates from Grapevine College. Cliff, son of Zachary Taylor and Virginia A. Wall, had always lived on the corner of Main Street and East Franklin. Beulah was the fourth child of Charles C. and Eleanor Thomas Estill. Cliff and Beulah lived in the home on Main Street until they built a new house in 1908. The new home was on the corner of Worth and Dooley Streets and seemed so far from town that Cliff bought a bicycle to get to and from the drugstore he owned. He sold the drugstore to John Spinks in 1920 and went to work in the Farmers National Bank. Their children were Mary Virginia Wall Simmons; Gordon (who died at age 1); Josephine Wall Wright; and James Estill Wall. Their childhood was always spent with `outsiders' in their home as they lived near the Grapevine Public School and boarded a school teacher or two. Mary Virginia married Hugh Simmons and remained in the Grapevine area; the Simmons were in the dairy business. Mary Virginia graduated from SMU and was a teacher in the Birdville ISD. She was a great community leader and Grapevine historian. Cliff was the brother of long-time Grapevine Mayor B. R. Wall. Their father, Zachary Taylor Wall, was a charter member of the Texas State Pharmaceutical Association founded in Dallas in 1879 to improve the quality of drugs and pharmaceutical services in the state. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the Historic Overlay #HL16-05 to record the history of the house and the property and to allow the Historic Preservation Commission to have input in the development of the property.
