Exhibit "A" to Ord. 2017-019 Page 3 of 24 Current View of House c. 2017 This substantial Folk-Victorian house was constructed in 1909. Its first owner ap- pears to have been Bart H. Starr Jr. and his wife Harriett Wall Starr who married in December 1908. The present owners Robert and Jacqueline Kulick purchased the home from a restorer and have proceeded to further adapt the house for their needs. Additional work has included restoring wood siding, installation of new wood windows, leveling the foundation, restoration of a 1-car carport, and exten- sion of the roofline over a new front porch. A new pastel color scheme has enliv- ened the appearance of the house and a brightly painted front door welcomes visitors to the house. The asymmetrical design of the house features a projecting bay with steep roof pitch to the right of the front door. The original wrap-around porch was enclosed by Maxine Eidson, its previous owner, and became indoor living space. A tall barge board surrounds the house at the ceiling level. Wide corner boards accen- tuate the vertical lines of the house. The walls are covered with wood lap siding. The tall one-over-one windows feature a decorative drip edge at the lintel. This T-plan house is a contributing structure to Grapevine's Original Town Resi- dential National Register Historic District established in May 1998.

Include: cultural influences, special events and important personages, influences on neighborhood, on the city, etc. Bart H. Starr, Jr., was the son of Barton Harry Starr, Grapevine's first Mayor, and was the grandson of Rev. Daniel Starr, one of Grapevine's first Methodist minis- ters who arrived on the Grape Vine Prairie by wagon in 1854-55. Two of Rev. Daniel Starr's sons, William and John, joined the Confederate Army with the "Grapevine Volunteers." Their youngest brother, Barton — born 1850, was too young to serve. In 1907 when Grapevine was incorporated, Barton was elected Mayor. He also was Vice President of Farmer's National Bank and served one term in about 1900 as Tarrant County Commissioner. Barton owned the first butcher shop in Grapevine, located at the north end of Main Street where the present City Hall is located. He used one of the wheels from his father's wagon as a reel to lift up beef carcasses for butchering for the railroad construction crews who were building the railroad into Grapevine. Barton's son, Bart H. Starr, Jr., later bought the butchering business from his father and the wagon wheel which remained in the family. INA" Bart H. Starr, Jr. Annie Harriett Wall Starr Bart H. Starr, Jr., met Annie Harriett Wall when they were in Grapevine elemen- tary school. Bart thought Harriett was the prettiest girl with long red braids tied with big bows and he thought that one day he would marry her. On Dec. 16, 1908, they were married at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sandy A. Wall. Harriett was the granddaughter of one of Grapevine's early Baptist ministers, Rev. Elihu Newton, who was also a member of the Texas House of Representa- tives during the 20th through 23rd legislatures. Harriet's father, Sandy Wall, was a Tarrant County Commissioner for ten years and is credited for creating the high- way which was referred to as the "North Route to Dallas" and securing an all- weather road to Grapevine which is today St. Hwy. 121 to Fort Worth. Bart and his father-in-law, Sandy, worked together in the drayage business hauling all Exhibit "A" to Ord. 2017-019 Page 6 of 24 types of materials and goods from the Grapevine Cotton Belt Railroad Depot us- ing first a wagon and mules and later a truck. Bart also bought and sold cattle and hogs, ran restaurants, operated a livery stable and feed store on Main Street, worked in garages and finally owned his own filling station at the corner of Main and Northwest Highway built of stone gathered from the Starr family farm- stead. c3, H.

IAIIi S Af+C! Exhibit "A" to Ord. 2017-019 Page 7 of 24 Bart H. Starr, Jr., and Harriett are the first owners listed on the Tarrant County tax records for the property located at 428 East Worth Street. The house was constructed in 1909. In 1912 Bart and Harriett had a son, John Sandy Starr, who greatly resembled his father and who won the county's "Sterling P. Clark Medal" in an oratorical contest. Sadly, in 1923 at the age of 11 , John died from an acute attack of appendicitis. Due to the poor health of mother and daughter and to ease the heartbreak of Bart and Harriett, Bart's sister — Willie Starr Winfrey, who was a gentle, motherly woman who looked after the welfare of others less fortunate than herself, and her husband, Bradley Winfrey, allowed the youngest of their eight children — a girl, Maxine Winfrey — born in May 1923, to be reared by Bart and Harriett as their own child. The Winfrey's lived at 302 West Wall in Grapevine; Willie's parents (Barton and Emma Proctor Starr) lived at 312 West Wall. Maxine Winfrey grew up with Bart and Harriett at 428 East Worth Street. In 1945, Maxine married Ralph Edison and had four children. Maxine served for many years as Grape- vine's librarian and as a dietician for the public schools. She worked for Bill Yancey Insurance Co. before going to work at Bill Guest Furniture where she was employed as bookkeeper for over 20 years. Maxine resided in the Bart H. and Harriett Starr House on East Worth Street all her life. Maxine died on Feb. 28, 2008, at her home. This site and family ties together the historic churches of Grapevine as well as the founding families of Grapevine (Wall, Starr, Winfrey, Newton, as well as WiII- hoite, Lucas, Lipscomb, Pirkle, and others). Their story of leadership at the local, county and state levels is exemplary. Their story of personal generosity cannot be matched. 14.Bibliography "Grapevine Area History" book, edited by Charles Young, 1979. "Grapevine Recollec- tions" by Weechie Yates Estill, 1965.

Page 18 Exhibit "A" to Ord. 2017-019 Page 19 of 24 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 Page 19 Exhibit "A" to Ord. 2017-019 Page 20 of 24 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. Page 20 Exhibit "A" to Ord. 2017-019 Page 21 of 24 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 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 Page 21 Exhibit "A" to Ord. 2017-019 Page 22 of 24 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 Iites (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. Page 22 Exhibit "A" to Ord. 2017-019 Page 23 of 24 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. 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 (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. Page 23 Exhibit "A" to Ord. 2017-019 Page 24 of 24 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. Page 24
