REQUESTED HISTORIC LANDMARK SUBDISTRICT AND COMMENTS:
The applicant is requesting a Historic Landmark Subdistrict designation for property located
at 414 East Texas Street and platted as Lot A Rawls and Dalton Addition.
The Historic Preservation Commission at their May 26, 2010 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.
The Dalton House is an example of a type of vernacular Ranch-style house that was built
on the Grape Vine prairie during the post-war boom. Tax records reveal that the house
was originally a rectangular box measuring approximately 30 feet wide and 18 feet deep
HL10-05.4 1 September 15, 2010 (2:08PM)
(540 square feet). A garage is attached to the main house by an enclosed breezeway.The
house faces north and is set to the rear of the lot. The house is located within the
boundaries of the Original Town Residential Historic District which was listed on the
National Register of Historic Places in 1998. It was deemed non-contributing to the district.
The house is significant for its association with Grapevine's post-war growth. Available lots
within the original town of Grapevine were desirable places to build houses and thus the
historic core of the city became more densely populated. In 1947, W. W. Wheatley, who
lived next door, moved this house to Grapevine from Colleyville. Wheatley completely
restored the house. It was a one-bedroom house with a large living room and it had a built
in kitchen according to Doil Dalton. Doil and Luella Dalton purchased the house and lived
there after he returned from his military service in World War II. The Daltons enjoyed the
large living room because "they were young and liked to entertain with parties where they
watched one of the first television sets owned in Grapevine and they played dominoes."
In 1952, after their daughter was born, the Daltons moved to a newly-constructed home in
the Bellaire Addition where they lived for thirty years. Doil Dalton served on the City of
Grapevine Planning and Zoning Committee for two years and in 1956 was elected to City
Council and served seventeen years. He served six years as Mayor Pro-Tem.The Daltons
sold the house to the Lanham family who owned it for one year. The house then had a
series of owners until 1975 when it was purchased by Julius and Violet Kolb. The house
was not sold again until 2002 when it was purchased by John Graham. The present
owners purchased it in 2009.
PRESENT ZONING AND USE:
The property is currently zoned "R-7.5" Single Family Residential and is being used as a
single family residence.
HISTORY OF TRACT AND SURROUNDING AREA:
The subject property and the surrounding properties to the north, south, east, and west

The Dalton House is an example of a type of vernacular Ranch-style house built on the Grape Vine
prairie during the post-war boom. Tax records reveal that the house was originally a rectangular box
measuring approximately 30 feet wide and 18 feet deep (540 square feet). It appears to have
originally had a side-gabled roof with exposed rafter tails that was later changed to a cross-gable with
the addition of a front gable bay. This bay may have been a porch that was later partially enclosed.
Other alterations include the addition of an enclosed breezeway that projects from the gabled bay and
connects the house to a front gabled one car garage with the garage bay facing the street. The
garage sits on a concrete slab foundation (tax records indicate that the original portion of the house
HL10-06
had a post foundation). On the rear of the house is a small shed-roofed addition. The house has a
variety of windows. The house is now sheathed with artificial siding which makes it difficult to
determine when the various alterations were made.
The house faces north, has a deep setback from the street, and is approached by an unpaved drive.
It is located within the boundaries of the Original Town Residential Historic District which was listed
on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. It was deemed noncontributing to the district
probably as a result of numerous alterations.

In 1947, W. W Wheatley sold Lots 4 and 5 of Block 37 of the town of Grapevine to Doil and Luella
Dalton. These lots faced Morehead (now Texas) Street and were set in the midst of the block. Doil
Dalton stated that the house that is now on Lot A of the Rawls and Dalton Subdivision was moved to
Grapevine from Colleyville in 1948 by Mr. Wheatley, who lived next door and worked for Texas Power
and Light. Mr. Wheatley completely restored the house. It was a one-bedroom house with a large
living room and it had a pretty built in kitchen with pretty floors according to Doil Dalton. Doil and
Luella Dalton purchased the house and lived there after he returned from his military service in World
War II, The Daltons enjoyed the large living room because "they were young and liked to entertain
with parties where they watched one of the first television sets owned in Grapevine and they played
dominoes." In 1952, after their daughter was born, the Daltons moved to a newly-constructed home in
the Bellaire Addition where they lived for thirty years. Doi] Dalton served on the City of Grapevine
Planning and Zoning Committee for two years and in 1956 was elected to City Council and served
17years. He served 6 years as Mayor Pro-Tem.
Doil Dalton, along with A. E. Rawls,who had purchased the corner lot(Lot 6), had the three lots (4, 5,
and 6) subdivided as the Rawls and Dalton Subdivision (containing Lots A, B, and C) in 1951. Lot A
was sold to J. H. and Christine Landrum of Comanche County, Oklahoma for $4,000. The lot, which
fronted Morehead Street, was 62 %feet wide and approximately 170 feet deep.
The Lanhams owned the property for approximately one year. The house then had a series of
owners until 1975 when it was purchased by Julius and Violet Kolb. The house was not sold again
until 2002 when it was purchased by John Graham. The present owners purchased it in 2009.
HL10-06
The house is significant for its association with Grapevine's post-war growth. Even during World War
II, Grapevine was experiencing growth. Conveniently located between Dallas and Fort Worth, the
town was seen as an ideal place to set down roots and still be close to the larger cities. Grapevine
seemed especially attractive to Dallas residents who began building homes in the area [Dallas
Morning News, 3-10-1946]. Available lots within the original town of Grapevine were desirable places
to build houses and thus the historic core of the city became more densely populated.

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 orwith 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 fagade 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
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.
Page 5
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 frontor 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 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.
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
Page 6
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 original opening. Clear or very slightly tinted window glass maybe 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 similarityof 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.
Page 7
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.
