REQUESTED HISTORIC LANDMARK SUBDISTRICT AND COMMENTS:
The applicant is requesting a Historic Landmark Subdistrict designation for property located
at 710 East Wall Street and platted as Lot 10, Block 101 College Heights Addition.
The Historic Preservation Commission, at their December 18, 2013 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 House at 710 is located in the College Heights Addition and within the boundary of the
Original Town Residential Historic District. The house was built in 1930 in the Craftsman
Bungalow style. Located to the rear of the house is a detached storage building.
HL1 3-01 A 1 January 13,2014(12:29PM)
This Craftsman bungalow-style house is located on the south side of East Wall Street in
the College Heights Addition. This was the dominant style for smaller houses built
throughout the country during the period from about 1905 until the early 1920's. The
Craftsman bungalow-style, like the Prairie style was quickly spread throughout the country
by pattern books and popular magazines. The style features low pitched gabled roofs with
wide, unenclosed eave overhang. About one third of Craftsman houses are built with a
front gabled roof.
The house is built with pier-and-beam construction, wood lap siding,wood windows, doors
and decorative bracket features.A double front facing gable feature contains the large front
porch and the house roof line. The original craftsman style columns have been replaced
with straight wood posts. The original wood shingle roof has been replaced with
composition shingles.A small wood frame storage building is located in the backyard which
is non-contributing to the significance of the original house.
Extensive renovation was completed in 2011 by David Smith. At that time the house
plumbing and electrical systems, the kitchen and bathroom were upgraded for modern
standards. A carport/pergola structure was added at the side of the house to provide
protection for vehicles. On the interior, original bookcases, millwork and fireplace mantle
have been preserved.

Historical Significance
According to tax records the property in College Heights was originally owned by the Farmers
National Bank. The first owner was Lois Steward.There have been a number of owners through
the years of the property. L. Ballard owned the property from 1944 to 1967 and represents the
longest ownership of record.
The renovated home was featured on the 2013 Candlelight Tour of Homes presented by the
Grapevine Heritage Foundation.
Page 4
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 fapade 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
Page 5
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 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 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.
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 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 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.
Page 7
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.
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 20`h 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.

WHEREAS, an application was made by the Grapevine Historic Preservation
Commission requesting a historic landmark subdistrict designation by making application
for same with the Planning & Zoning Commission of the City of Grapevine, Texas as
required by State statutes and the zoning ordinances of the City of Grapevine, Texas and
all the legal requirements, conditions and prerequisites having been complied with, the
case having come before the City Council of the City of Grapevine, Texas after all legal
notices, requirements, conditions and prerequisites having been complied with; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Grapevine, Texas at a public hearing -
called by the City Council did consider the following factors in making a determination as to
whether this requested historic landmark subdistrict designation should be granted or
denied; safety of the motoring public and the pedestrians using the facilities in the area
immediately surrounding the site; safety from fire hazards and measures for fire control,
protection of adjacent property from flood or water damages, noise producing elements
