COLLEYVILLE HISTORICAL PRESERVATION COMMITTEE
END OF YEAR REPORT
3 SEPTEMBER 1996
The first year of the Committee has been one of investigation and research of
the sites, structures, objects, and written record which remain of the herit-
age of the area now Colleyville. Special consideration has been given the
restoration of the Section Foreman's house at Bransford Park, and the reprint-
ing of the book "Colleyville, 1855-1956". By providing a solid base of knowl-
edge the Committee is better prepared to act to protect the heritage of Col-
leyville, and to provide awareness to the citizens of the city. ,
SURVEY OF COLLEYVILLE
Using the Colleyville section of the countywide historical/architectural/cul-
tural survey done in the 1980s under the guidance of the Texas Historical
Commission, using the criteria of the National Register and the Texas Histori-
cal Commission, committee members drove the city to review which, sites re-
mained, and which have been destroyed. New sites not noted on the original
survey were also recorded. In many cities the Planning Department uses these.
surveys to protect the heritage of their city.
ORAL HISTORY
One member of the Committee expressed an interest in doing oral histories of
local citizens. A proper form for release was provided to the members of the
committee, to avoid copyright infringement.
COLLEYVILLE HISTORY BOOK
The Committee has agreed we should publish a second edition of the Colleyville
history book, "Colleyville, 1855-1956" which was written by a committee of the
Colleyville Sesquicentennial Committee. Various methods of reprinting have
been discussed. The problem of not having of the original photographs and/or
negatives for reproducing that facet of the book is one which must b'e solved.
It has been decided that whatever printing method is used, the book text will
be scanned and put onto a disk for permanent storage.
TEXAS HISTORICAL MARKER
It was agreed that a program to obtain an official Texas Historical Marker for
each significant and appropriate site in Colleyville would be an ongoing and
long term project. One member was given the guidelines and has agreed to write
an application for a Texas Marker for one of the early settlements which later
became a part of Colleyville.
RAILROAD SECTION FOREMAN'S HOUSE IN BRANSFORD PARK
Previous to the formation of this Committee, several appropriate people were
asked to evaluate the Section Forman's house, also known locally as the Webb
House.
The Chairman of the Texas Historical Commission (a Commission with members
appointed by the Governor) inspected the house and provided a written report.
The Director of the staff of the National Register Department (a U.S. Gov-
ernment program) at the Texas Historical Commission, inspected the house and
provided a written report. He was accompanied by the Director of the Archi-
tecture Department of the Texas Historical Commission, who participated in the
evaluation.
A former Chairman of the Tarrant County Historical Commission, who is an
architect and works on historic buildings, gave a written report. He also
called in a contractor to investigate the condition of the sills under the
house.
A Dallas contractor who restored an identical house made a written report.
Copies of all these reports were given to Doug Henderson, City of Colleyville,
several years ago.
All those who evaluated the house considered it in very good condition and
worthy of restoration. The Director of the National Register Department de-
clared it to be potentially eligible for the National Register, though desig-
nation could be accomplished only after proper restoration by accepted stand-
ards.
On 28 January 1996, two members of the Historical Preservation Committee at-
tended a workshop held at COG explaining details of the ISTEA application
process, for funds under the 1991 Act designating Highway Department funds for
historical purposes. This is not a grant program as the projects are adminis-•
tered by TXDOT. There is a 20% up front fee for administration, mandatory
TXDOT planning consultants, along with extensive federal and state regulations
and requirements, which would significantly add to the cost of restoration.
The Committee Chairman consulted with a city who had received ISTEA approval
for funds for a house of identical design, but had turned down the funds after
receiving details of federal and state requirements. She also conferred with
an EPA representative for the ISTEA program. Both suggested the added costs
due to ISTEA requirements were not cost effective in many instances, especial-
ly so in small requests.
ISTEA workshop personnel stated removal of the asbestos siding would be about
a $40,000 expense, and would have to handled through that program if funds
were requested. This was investigated by the Committee Chairman. It has been
determined that removing the asbestos siding and disposing of that si~ing will
not be a problem, and can be done at little or no expense.
Bill Dahlin of the Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission, who is a
TNRCC Inspector for Region 4, has informed me the asbestos shingle siding is
not friable and that no special care need be taken in their removal. By
federal and state regulation, they do not have to be treated for removal, nor
do they have to be treated or encased at the landfill. Disposal is to be
treated as regular household trash. It does not have to be declared at the
landfill, and by regulation no special charge may be made at the landfill.
TNRCC will confirm by phone to City Staff and Laidlaw.
At the 23 January 1996 •meeting the Colleyville Historical Preservation Commit-
tee voted to recommend to the City, and to the Parks and Recreation Board and
the Parks and Recreation Department, that the Section Foreman's house oe re-
stored, and that Bransford Park be developed with a railroad theme. This was
conveyed to the Park Board and Park Department, as well as City Council and
Staff, in an 8 March 1996 report. The railroad theme is appropriate due to the
association of the house and the railroad. The house was built with plans and
2
lumber provided by the railroad. The section foreman lived in the house, and
tickets were sold from the house to passengers who boarded at the Bransford
flag stop.
To restore the house the following must be accomplished:
1. Remove the concrete porch. This can be done by County work release people,
or by volunteers. No skill needed.
2. Rebuild wooden porch and steps to house.
3. Sills need to be inspected and replaced where necessary. One sill was
determined in poor condition by inspection several years ago.
4. Windows and frames need to be repaired.
5. Floor boards need to be replaced where necessary. Some are satisfactory.
6. The Parks Department needs to participate in a discussion regarding the
removal of the bathroom, which was not an original feature of the house. The
addition affects the exterior of the house by enclosing a porch. Whether
returning to t`he original open porches or retaining enclosures with the added
bath needs to be more thoroughly discussed depending upon anticipated use of
the building and park. _
7. Repair interior as needed. It should be noted that all consultants agreed
all woodwork could be done by local carpenters.
8. Remove kitchen cabinets, and provide kitchen appropriate to 1914.
9. Remove shingle siding, fill holes, replace boards where needed, and paint.
10. The house needs to be reroofed. This should be done with wood shingles
appropriate to the original roof.
11. Update electrical wiring and plumbing to code.
12. Install air conditioning and heating units, by restoration standards. A
restoration architect was consulted, who recommended separate heat and air
units for the first and second floors, making them as inconspicuous as possi-
ble. If there should be additional costs by having separate units, that cost
would be returned by the ability to heat and cool only the lower floor of the
house when the upper floor is not in use.
During the summer of 1996 the Committee asked that Mayor Ed Baker, City Engi-
neer Jim Foster and Community Development Director Doug Henderson, inspect the
house. They determined it to be in excellent condition. ArchiTexas, a firm
which specializes in restoration of historic structures, was then asked by the
Committee Chairman to evaluate the house. They too determined it to be in
excellent condition.
The Chair of this Committee asked ArchiTexas to give a cost estimate for the
restoration of the house by that firm. Enclosed find the estimate submitted.
This cost estimate does not present an incentive for a change from the origi-
nal recommendation of the Historical Preservation Committee that restoration
be under the guidance of the Preservation Committee, administered by the City,
and accomplished by local skilled labor.

Hardware should be compatible with the age and style of the house, but can
be found from demolished houses.
The kitchen is a variable cost depending upon a final decision of design. It
should be suitable to a 1914 house, but usable for today.
Exterior demolition is two fold. Removing the asbestos shingles on the side
of the house, and removing the concrete front porch. Both can be done at no
cost by volunteers.
Restoration of windows and screens can be done by a local carpenter and
volunteer aides.
A roofers bid estimates roof replacement as $5000 to $6000 rather than
$16,000. This will be with shingles at cost and a discount from the roofer.
No masonry work is anticipated with the possible exception of additional
piers under the house. This is not probable as the house has not shifted at
all over the years. It is anticipated the existing piers are adequate.
All carpentry can be done by a local carpenter. The house does not have fine
woodwork that would require a specialist.
Preparation for painting presents a special problem which should be recog-
nized. Special precautions must be taken when restoring a structure which has
lead paint. Both paint dust and fumes endanger the worker. A lead assessment
should be conducted. Paint that must be removed, should be done so with
proper procedures such as protective clothing and HEPA (high-efficiency par-
ticulate air) filter-equipped vacuum cleaner. Areas that may be covered,
rather than removing paint, must be done so with a lead encapsulating paint to
prevent leaching through of the old lead paint. '
Protective measures, if paint preparation is done by local labor, and the
health of those performing that task, must be considered in evaluating total
cost. Preparation for painting is a task which may be more appropriate for one
skilled in that area, and with proper equipment, than with volunteers.
Considering only the cost of restoration, accomplishment by local skilled
labor and volunteers would be a great savings compared to the cost of con-
tracting with a professional restoration company. It must be recognized,
however, that local restoration must be within accepted restoration'standards.
The Historic Preservation Committee has an interest in the restoration of the
Section Foreman's house and the design of the city park. The house and park,
and future bicycle path, adjacent to the railroad track whereon the Tarantula
tourist trains runs, presents the city a rare opportunity for a well developed
park attractive to both citizens and those from outside the city. This park is
as much a "gateway" to the city as other areas being planned, and will be seen
daily by tourists. The Committee is available to the Park Board and the Park
Department for cooperation and consultation in developing this house and park
in a way appropriate to their past association with the railroad. We ask that
the Park Board recognize that the park and house is the one historic site and
structure that is owned by the city.
It seems appropriate that the Park Board and the Historic Preservation Commit-
tee meet to discuss tie Park Board's plans for use of Bransford Park before
preservation efforts are further considered by this Committee.

From: Ed Duncan, CBA, President
Subject: Interim baseball fields solution for Bronco & Pony age groups
On November 7, 1996, I will be meeting with the parks board to address the
situation of interim baseball fields while City Park is under construction from June
1997 till Spring 1999.
CBA, which has never shirked responsibilities on donating both financial and
working support of city owned ball fields, needs your and the City of Colleyville's
help.
Paye 1 ul t
CBA had hoped to be able to assist the city with the interim fields, by locating a
private land owner willing to lease (at a nominal or no fee} land for building two (2)
lighted baseball fields for Bronco (ages 11-12) & Pony (ages 13-14) to play on.
Most of the materials to be used were to be salvaged by CBA from City Park just
prior to demolition in June 1997. The Crown of Life Lutheran Church on Pleasant
Run, has been approached with the idea and is open to a mutual agreement, that
allows both CBA use of the fields for practice and play everyday of the week, except
Sunday and Wednesday, when the church has field rights.
The plan looks good in theory, but falls short in practicality for the following
reasons:
1.) CBA does not have the funds to build the fields.
2.) CBA does not have the equipment to maintain fields.
3.) CBA does not have the personnel to maintain fields.
4.) CBA needs to concentrate funds and energy on running a baseball program
for the youth of Colleyville, not building and maintaining fields.
Proposed Solution
1.)The City of Colleyville and Crown of Life Church enter into an agreement on
land use by parks department.
2.) The City fulfills it's commitment to build interim ball fields at this site, with

Proposed Solution cont.
3.) City parks department to maintain the fields at this site, as park personnel is
already at the same location maintaining soccer fields.
Skip, this proposal to be made at the parks board meeting is a more feasible and
practical solution to our problem and could possibly present itself as an opportunity
for future park land acquisition.
Would you please look into what are the obstacles, if any, that would need to be
overcome to make this opportunity work for all of us. I will need your written reply by
November 7, 1996 before I meet with the parks board on this subject.
Thank you for your continued support of Colleyville's youth baseball program.
