RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Historic Preservation Commission approve with conditions
Certificate of Appropriateness #CA26-46 for the property located at 218 West Wall Street
legally described as Block 1, Lot 1, CPAC Place Addition to the Grapevine Historic
Preservation Ordinance 91-73 (Appendix G — Grapevine Code of Ordinances), as
amended for the following items:
1. Renovate the exterior facades of the existing West Wall Street Office Building, to
create new period appropriate facades for the building, following the Design
Guidelines established for the West Wall Street Historic District and the
requirements of the Grapevine Pattern Book;
with the condition that all exterior materials, windows, doors and hardware, colors and
lighting fixtures be staff approved under a separate Certificate of Appropriateness and a
building permit be obtained from the Building Department.
BACKGROUND:
Certificate of Appropriateness application #CA26-46 was submitted on June 29, 2026 by
the applicant Jason Keen to renovate the exterior of the existing West Wall Street Building.
The building was built in 1999 as a professional office building for the CPAC organization
and was constructed prior to the establishment of the West Wall Street Historic District in
2004. The West Wall Historic District was established to preserve the residential
appearance and character of this block of structures leading up to Historic Main Street.
The proposed changes would make the building more residential in appearance, and more
compatible with the four existing residential structures in the Wall Street Historic District.
Proposed changes to the facades include: the removal of the existing sandstone veneer
and replacement with cementitious wall board siding, sized and placed horizontally on the
building to resemble wood siding. New window openings would be cut into the existing
exterior walls and new larger windows installed to bring more light into the building.
The zoning of the property is Highway Commercial. The building is 7,273 square feet, the
lot is 23,958 square feet. There are 23 parking spaces and 2 ADA parking spaces.

Preface
"The Starr family aided in planting the seeds of civilization and developing this portion of the
state." — Captain B.B. Paddock in History and Biographical Record of North and West Texas.
Reverend Daniel Starr (1813-1870) arrived in Grapevine with his wife Angeline Levisee and
seven children. The year was 1854, when open prairies of fertile land were beginning to draw
adventurous settlers southward. Shortly after their arrival, Reverend and Mrs. Starr's last child,
Rachael Angeline was born. Daniel purchased 160 acres from a Mr. Gibson who had acquired
the land under Texas' Homestead Act of 1839.
Reverend Starr helped found the Grapevine Methodist Church (circa 1866) and was a pastor on
its circuit, though he never actually joined the Grapevine church. He was said to be a founding
member of the Masonic Lodge in Grapevine, an organization with which he remained politically
connected throughout his life. According to B.B. Paddock, "He was a well known and most highly
respected citizen; his genial manner, kindly disposition and devotion to the public good won him
popularity."
Starr's two eldest sons, William and John, fought in the Civil War with the Confederate Grapevine
Volunteers; his daughters married and raised a total of 15 grandchildren. All except Julia Ann
stayed in or near the Starr homestead throughout their lives. John, too, returned to the area to
marry (twice, in fact). He is known to have had three children. However, it is Barton Harry with
whom Grapevine residents are most familiar.
B.H (Bart) Starr (1850-1912) was just four years old when his family arrived on the Grapevine
prairie by ox-drawn covered wagon. At the age of 20, upon his father's death, he assumed
responsibility for his mother and young Rachael. Bart married Emma Proctor (1853-1916) in July
of 1875. In 1880 he purchased 20 acres of ranch and farmland. Two years later he built a
modest, yet suitable home for his growing family.
Bart and Emma would eventually have a total of 10 children. Two died in infancy; another son
passed on at the age of nine. Six of the seven surviving children remained in Grapevine to raise
their respective families. Those six were Minnie Ola, Ida Gray, Willie Mae, John Proctor, Bertie
and Bart Jr. — names that also made their impression on the annals of Grapevine's history. The
youngest daughter, Emma, was the only child to leave the Grapevine community, venturing only
as far as Dallas.
Harvesting cattle from his own herd, Bart opened the first butcher shop in Grapevine, on the north
end of Main Street. This was some time during the 1880s, though the exact date is unknown.
Much like his father — congenial and kind, hardworking and responsible — Bart moved naturally
into community service. He began his official public service when he was elected Tarrant County
Commissioner in 1900. Seven years later, when Grapevine was newly incorporated, Barton
Harry Starr was elected by friends, family and neighbors to be the township's first mayor.
Bart was said to be a "champion of the local schools" throughout his adult life, working for many
years to improve and provide for them. He was a successful businessman and, at the time of his
death, Vice President at Farmers National Bank.

The Starr family homestead house built in 1882 was the birthplace
of Bert Starr, Bart Starr Jr. and, later Minnie Starr Walker (Frank).
With Starr's birth it became home for three generations of this
most significant pioneer family and a fond and familiar landmark
for Grapevine residents for more than one hundred years.
Historic photos of the house evidence a two-story gable-front-
and- wing folk house, typical throughout the rural United States
from 1850 to 1890. A wide L-shaped porch wrapped around two
elevations of the house giving the home shade from Texas' hot afternoon sun on the home's
south and west sides. Unadorned wood beams supported the narrowly pitched shed -roofed
porch. A steeply pitched gabled roof was covered in wood shake shingles. Its eaves could be
described as neither wide nor narrow. A single chimney was located at the north end of the
house, presumably a service to the kitchen stove. All siding was clad horizontally with wood and
windows and/or doors were placed generously on every elevation surely providing ample
ventilation for the harsh summers.
By 1979, when the Tarrant County Historic Resources Survey was conducted, the house was
described as a cruciform -plan house. It is not know whether it was built originally in this style or
whether square footage had been added over a period of years. Near its completion in January
of 1882, the Grapevine Globe wrote, "Mr. B.H. Starr's new residence is almost finished. It is a
neat house and well arranged."
Sadly, it was demolished in April of 1987. According to the Tarrant County Historic Resources
Survey, it would have been eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places "for
its architectural qualities and its association with a figure important to the history of Grapevine."
Bart and Emma Starr raised their family in this house. For a short time, at least, Bart's daughter
Minnie Ola and her husband Dr. Charles Edwin Walker also lived there. Dr. Walker, elected to
the Texas House of Representatives in 1916, served the state, in particular the North Texas
region, for many years. Among the many bills he presented before congress was that that would
bring Grubbs Vocational College (now the University of Texas at Arlington) to Arlington.
Bart Jr. (another name significant to the history of the Grapevine community) occupied the house
only as a child. Bart Jr. served several terms as city alderman and on the local school board. In
1908 he married Harriet Wall, whose father, Sandy, served for ten years as Tarrant County
Commissioner. He and Sandy were partners in the dray business, "unloading everything that
came to Grapevine by Railroad (sic)." Ever the entrepreneur, beginning in 1934, Bart Jr. opened
the Bart H. Starr Friendly Service Station at the intersection of North Main and Highway 114 in
partnership with Ted Willhoitte. This gas station supplied all the gas for construction companies
building SH 114 from the Dallas County line to Rhome and SH 121 from Grapevine to Fort Worth
(providing a comfortable living for both families during the hard-hit economy of the Great
Depression). Bart is credited with selling the first gallon of gasoline ever sold in Grapevine.
Minnie Starr (Walker) Frank, daughter of Minnie Ola (Starr) and Charles Walker, was born and
raised in the house at 220 West Wall. Referred to as the Grand Lady of Music, Starr was an
accomplished pianist, organist and vocalist, talents which she shared generously with the
Grapevine and surrounding communities. She played in church, for weddings, funerals, private
events, as well as in the silent movie theater and in concerts throughout the state. She taught
piano lessons privately for 57 years, never raising her fee of $1.25 per hour. She composed many
songs, including the Grapevine High School Alma Mater and in 1937, she and Madeleine Hemley
initiated Grapevine's traditional Christmas candlelighting service. Doil and wife, Luella Dalton
purchased the property through Starr Frank's estate in 1986.

II. 202 West Wall Street
The Bungalow Shop currently located on the northwest corner of
West Wall Street and Barton Street is a textbook example of a
Craftsman bungalow residential dwelling. It has a low-pitched
front gabled roof with wide unenclosed overhanging eaves and
exposed roof rafters. Its partial -width porch is protected by a
separate front -gabled roof and supported by sloping square
columns resting on large brick piers, a defining feature of the
Craftsman style.
It is a single story covered in painted weatherboard siding; the roof is composition shingle. The
six -feet -high rectangular windows are arranged on the front of the house with one narrow window
of equal height placed on either side. Side and rear windows are typical 3'0":6'0" and placed
generously around the house to provide ample lighting and ventilation for this lovingly cared for
1160 square foot house.
A 200 square foot carriage house sits on the northeast corner of the lot. Evidently remodeled
from its original construction, its style nicely complements the main bungalow with a low-pitched
center gable roof and matching weatherboard siding. A metal/cloth awning now replaces the
original shed porch roof, shading the southern elevation and protecting visitors from the elements.
Segmented Prairie -style windows have been placed on the east and west gabled areas.
The Craftsman -style residence originated in Pasadena, California in the first decade of the 20th
century. Its popularity spread quickly with variations (simple and complex) being built throughout
the continental United States until about 1930.
Newlyweds James Newton and Mabel Clair (Simmons) Wood received the property in 1925 as a
gift from their fathers, John Wood and Edward Thomas Simmons. Married in October of 1924,
they moved into their fashionable new home in January three months later. J.N. and Mabel bore
three sons — James Edward, Charles William and Jimmy Newton.'
J.N. was a prominent Grapevine businessman and an active leader in civic, social, religious and
educational affairs. His Service Garage, established in 1931combined with Western Auto in
1937. J.N. served on the Charter Commission2 to prepare a new Home Rule Charter for the city
of Grapevine in 1965. He was listed as an officer of the First National Bank of Grapevine in 1979
and was a charter member of Grapevine Lions Club, established in 1934. J.N. was born in
Grapevine and never lived more than two blocks from Main Street.
Charles William Wood was born in 1928. He attended North Texas Agricultural College in
Arlington after graduating from Grapevine High School. In 1956 he married Margaret Flemister,
with whom he had four children. Charles shared the Western Auto business with his father,
taking over ownership when J.N. retired in 1966. Charles' many years of community service
included being the Training Union Director of Memorial Baptist Church when it was established in
1954.
Jimmy Newton was born in 1933. He attended Grubbs Vocational College in Arlington and Texas
Christian College from which he received his degree in 1954. He served a tour of duty in Korea
from 1956-57. After returning home he married Carol Ann Johnston. The couple eventually
moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where they currently reside.
Mabel's estate was settled two years after her 1988 death. It was then the house passed on to
Charles and Jim. Three years later (1993) it was sold to Stuart and Marcia Spencer who opened
1 Mabel Clair's sister, Lula Faye (Simmons) Higgins owned the property at 210 West Wall Street from 1946
to 1958

Lula Faye (Simmons) and Hugh Lee Higgins moved into this
987 square foot house in 1939. According to Tarrant County
deed records the property was purchased for $1 and was most
likely a gift from family. Grantors included R.A. Wood, Edward T.
Simmons (Lula's father), John Wood, Jr. Grady and W.E. "Ed"
Keeling (publisher of the Grapevine Sun newspaper) and
J.N. Wood. The small, tidy house was placed on .2611 acres,
though the adjacent property was included in later years.
This small side -gabled hall -and -parlor folk house is covered in wide plank white wood siding. The
roof is gray composition shingle with narrow eaves. The house is trimmed smartly in gray to
match the medium -pitched roof. The front gabled porch roof with an elliptical (or, baskethandle)
surround adds a modicum of style to this otherwise simple home. Its porch roof is supported by
double beams, also painted gray. Large front windows on either side of the front elevation are
adorned with similarly painted faux shutters. An aluminum screen and glass door serves the front
entryway.
Folk houses of this type were most common in the U.S. during the second half of the 19th century,
though the hall -and -parlor -style remained the dominant folk house throughout the rural south well
into the 20th century. Its light framing, economical materials, easy -to -adapt floor plans and
traditional look contributed to its longstanding popularity.
Hugh Lee Higgins was the son of Martin Van Buren and Kezia Pamelia Byas Higgins. He was
the grandson of Thomas Higgins, an early Grapevine area settler whose farmstead (located
seven miles west northwest of Grapevine) was used as a community stockade to protect against
Indian raids during the Civil War. The family moved to North Main Street in 1918.
Hugh Lee married Lula Faye Simmons (sister of Mabel Clair Wood) on June 25, 1936, moving
into a home on the corner of Wall Street and Crestview. They built their new home at 210 West
Wall in 1939 with a $600 loan from Mrs. Mary L. Wiggins. The house remained their residence
until 1958. Their only son, Michael Lee was born in September 1940.
From 1940 until 1943 Hugh worked for the Department of Defense as a plumbing contractor for
military installations, traveling with his family throughout the state. Returning to Grapevine at the
close of the war, Hugh went to work for Vultee Aircraft Corporation (now, General Dynamics).
Otto Dickerson purchased the home and both lots from the Wood family in 1958. He paid $500 in
cash and received a $7,000 private loan from Hugh for the balance. The property passed on to
Doyle W. Dickerson in 1962 and then to attorney David M. Glenn most recently in December
2003.

IV. 216 West Wall Street
The original house located at 216 West Wall Street was a simple
front -gabled bungalow with moderately overhanging eaves and
exposed rafters. It has undergone a number of alterations
throughout the years, only some of which have been documented.
It now presents as a gable -front -and -wing style with a porte cochei
extending from the roof of the east wing.
The wide horizontal white -painted siding is contrasted with black porch and porte cochere
supports and entryway metal railings. Though a few of the original 6/6 windows (typical of
Craftsman -style homes) survive, most have been replaced with 1/1 aluminum -framed of the
single -hung variety. The top halves of both the side and front entry doors have 3/3 glazed
window insets. The front -gabled front porch appears to be an original feature of the home, though
the original supports have definitely been replaced with metal to match the railing. The home has
a narrow setback and the side yard has been made into a parking lot for this commercially zoned
site.
The home was built prior to 1944, though the exact date is yet unknown. Fannie and Charles
Hoaglin purchased the lot from W.E. "Ed" Keeling and in 1944 sold it to Hugh Lee and Lula Faye
Higgins, who owned the adjacent property at 210 West Wall.
Fannie Hoaglin (born Mary Frances Daniel) was born January 3, 1868 in Tennessee. She was
married briefly and widowed in Arkansas, before coming to Texas with her second husband,
Charles Hoaglin. She was 22 years old; he was 41 when they married in 1890.
Fannie's sister Olive May (Daniel) Blackmon/Stone lived across the street when the couple
arrived in Grapevine. Little is known about Charles, except that he served as a sergeant in the NY
11"' Infantry.
The couple had no children of their own but raised Eula Hoaglin (Charles' daughter by a previous
marriage) and Bert Franklin Daniel (Fannie's nephew, son of James F. Daniel, who was Fannie's
brother). The two children later married and had five children. When Charles died in January of
1946, Fannie sold their home to H.L. and Lula Faye (Simmons) Higgins.
J.N. Wood, who owned 202 West Wall, purchased the property in 1952 and subsequently sold it
to his son Charles in 1956.
Dr. Carlton Dwain Pittard graduated from the University of Texas Medical Branch in 1957. After
working three years for the Public Health Service he moved to Grapevine in 1960. Dr. Pittard and
his wife, Wanda bought the home at 216 West Wall in 1962.
In addition to the lives he touched as a physician, Dr. Pittard was a man dedicated to serving the
Grapevine community. As with others of this neighborhood, he served on city council and was a
member of the Charter Commission to prepare a Home Rule Charter for the city in 1965. (See
footnote 2 above.) He was a charter member of the Grapevine Rotary Club in 1968. Carlton and
Wanda, together with Edgar Lee Lancaster, Jr. M.D. and Minnie Lee Schaedel Lancaster, M.D.
were founders of the Grapevine Memorial Hospital (now Baylor Medical Center Grapevine). The
hospital was funded by the Ann B. Lancaster Memorial Foundation in memory of Ed Lancaster's
mother.
Just two years after buying the home, the Pittards sold it to Tom and Vonnie Wallace. Vonnie
Hazel (Daniel) married Tom Wallace in December 1934. They had one child who died the day of
his birth. Upon Vonnie's death in 1978, the house was passed on to Vonnie's niece Jeannine
(Velte) Ward.
Jeannine sold the house to E.A. and Opal Danielson in 1980. Longstanding members of the
Grapevine Church of Christ, Ernest Andrew Danielson and Opal Royal were married in June of
1942. Opal was a professional beautician and worked from her home beginning in 1954.

Lillie V. Tribble Parks bought the home from the Danielsons in 1980 with owner financing of
$24,000. When Lillie died in 1999, David M. Glenn purchased what had become commercially
zoned property for his legal firm.

The property currently owned and occupied by Maverick Associates,
Inc. is a 7,273 square foot International -style commercial building
constructed of brick, glass and metal. Set on 0.5499 acres, it was
designed in 1999 by architect Gary Skotnicki of the ArchiTexas
architectural design firm in Dallas, Texas. It is considered a
non-contributing structure with reference to the West Wall Historic
District.
It is interesting to note that the owners have integrated state-of-the-art geothermal technology into
the building's heating and cooling system.

VI. 312 West Wall Street
Built in 1956 for Starr Frank's son Tommy, this white -colored modest
hall -and -parlor folk house is topped by a stylish low-pitched red shing
roof. Similar in overall form, it holds a comparable style history to the
Old Higgins residence at 210 West Wall (Ill.above).
The side -gabled Shope House, as it is currently referred, is covered
in wood siding. Its only offset is the front door surround, which consis
of a small shed -roofed porch supported by plain square beams. Its
open eaves overhang moderately to help shade the home at mid -day.
The aluminum -framed 2/2 rectangular windows are nicely trimmed in red to match the roof. The
matching red front entry door has a semi -circular window cut into it. A glass and screen
aluminum door protects the main door from the elements and allows light and air into the front
living area.
The simple house is surrounded by lush vegetation — a garden of special plantings created by
Starr Frank and cultivated by its successive residents. Considered one of the site's crowning
features, the garden has been a neighborhood and community landmark for over 50 years.
Doil and wife, Luella Dalton, also purchased this property through Starr Frank's estate in 1986.
In 1995 it was sold to William M. Shope, who is the current owner.

OPENING ATTACHMENTS ***
Hi David & Kayce, please see attached completed CA along with supporting documentation. I look
forward to meeting with your team at your earliest convenience to discuss this project.
These elevations will be further refined as we work thru this with you and your team. The exterior color is
approximate, we will have samples painted on the rear exterior and look forward to collaborating with
you and your team on the appropriate color. We are leaning towards the tight olive/sage type color but
would like to discuss it with you once the samples are on the exterior.
The intended use for this building is our personal office.
Regarding construction, we would like to accomplish the following:
• Remove stone
• Reptace South & West elevations with a wood looking hardy board product
• Replace and expand the windows
• Add landscape and remove the trees on the South
• Add privacy fence on East, North and West property line
• Paint roof, trim and down spouts
• Paint existing hardy on North and East elevation to match
• Colors to be determined following collaboration with the HPC
• Complete interior remodel
Thanks in advance,
jk
