SUBJECT: HISTORIC LANDMARK OVERLAY #HL11-01
424 EAST NORTHWEST HIGHWAY
GRAPEVINE, TX 76051
KARIM PIRANI, OWNER
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Historic Preservation Commission approve the proposed Historic
Landmark Subdistrict overlay to the Grapevine Historic Preservation Ordinance 91-73
(Appendix G — Grapevine Code of Ordinances), as amended for following properties
addressed as:
424 East Northwest Highway, legally described as A 946 TR 48-49,
City of Grapevine.
BACKGROUND:
The building occupying the site was constructed to serve as a Texaco Service Station in
1946. The building followed the corporate prototype design used by the Company in the
1940's. The building featured a glass enclosed office, two vehicle service bays, a doorway
on the side of the building opening into a public restroom and a projecting canopy on the
front of the building that provided protection from the elements for service station
personnel that pumped the gas. The building is constructed of concrete block with
aluminum and steel windows and doors.
The building has been renovated to serve primarily as a retail convenience store. Inside,
the building contains a cashier area for the store and pumps and a sales area for beer and
wine as well and other convenience items. The original vehicle service bays have been
enclosed and two additional retail bays have been added to the building on the west end.
These changes and additions have diminished the integrity of the original Texaco
prototype design concept. In its present un-restored condition, the building is a non-
contributing structure to the historic Grapevine Township.
Staff recommends approval of the Historic Overlay #HL11-01 to record the history of the
property and for the Historic Preservation Commission to have input in the development of
the proposed new retail facility and gasoline station submitted with Certificate of
Appropriateness for Demolition #CA11-01. A set of the proposed design guidelines for the
property are attached.

The former Texaco Station at 454 East Northwest is a 1-story structure located on the southwest
corner Dooley Street that was constructed for the Texaco Oil Company in 1946. The original
building was based on a Texaco corporate prototype design of the 1940s. The building is
constructed of concrete block with a flat parapet roof and a projecting canopy that covered a two
car bay. Utilitarian in design, the building was originally painted white with red and black accents.
The original floor plan featured a glassed -in office, two vehicle service bays and a public restroom
with a door opening directly to the exterior.
Over the years several additions were made to the building. The original vehicle service bays
were enclosed to create a retail convenience store. Later on two additional service bays were
added which have also been converted to expand the size of the convenience store. A free-
standing gasoline pump island was added at the east end of the building.
These additions conceal original features and detract from the clarity of the original prototype
Texaco design. In its present state, the building is a non-contributing structure to the Grapevine
Historic Township of 1907 with its period of significance of 1875 to 1946.
16. Historical Significance
Statement of historical and cultural significance. Include: cultural influences, special events and
important personages, influences on neighborhood, on the city, etc.
Deed records indicate the site was owned by R. L. Thweatt starting in 1926. In 1946, Thweatt sold the
property to Jack J. Wendeborn. At that time, a new Texaco Service Station was constructed at the
site following the prototypical Texaco design concept that was used in the 1940's. Grapevine resident
Doil Dalton recalls that a local citizen, Jack Gifford, leased and operated the Texaco Station at the
corner location of Northwest Highway and South Dooley. Jack and his wife Hazle came to Grapevine
when Lake Grapevine was being built. The Gifford's had a son named Leonard Gifford who was an
outstanding high school football running back here. Doil said that the station was operated for a time,
but that it later became another brand, when Texaco opened a new station on Northwest Highway at
present day Texan Trail, where the new Grapevine Station complex is now located. In the 1970's the
station was operated as a Gulf Station. In 1992 the property was purchased by Ashraf Aziz, whose
family members now own the property. Presently, Quick Fill, a convenience store and gas station,
occupies the building.

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 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 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 maybe 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.
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.
Page 6
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.
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 be designed to reflect the period of significance and follow the Design
Guidelines established for Grapevine's Historic Commercial and Residential Buildings.
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.
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 for the 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.
