It was originally Queen Anne in style and later remodeled with Classical Revival elements.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is an unusual local example of a Queen Anne plan home with later Classical Revival modifications, reflecting changing tastes at the turn of the 20th century. Around 1895 Frank Taylor Rembert, inspired by the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, replaced much of the ornate Queen Anne trim with Ionic columns. The period of significance extends to include the circa 1912 garage.","narrative":"Built between 1877 and 1879 at 316 South Fredonia Street in Longview, this one-story wood-frame house began as a Queen Anne residence with an irregular roofline, a wrap-around porch, spindle work, and corner towers. Deed records suggest it was built by the Batemans, from whom merchant and later mayor Frank Taylor Rembert bought it in 1879. Around 1895, after visiting the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Rembert removed the towers and much of the ornate trim and added Ionic columns, giving the house a Classical Revival look while keeping its Queen Anne massing and some original spindle work. Rear additions came in the 1910s, 1920s, and 1930s. The interior keeps its original fireplaces, pocket doors, tall ceilings, and bull's-eye moldings. A small Craftsman-style garage from about 1912 also contributes. The house was listed for its architecture, as an unusual local blend of two styles.","period_of_significance":"c.1895-c.1912","architect_builder":"unknown","architectural_style":"Late 19th and Early 20th Century Revivals: Classical Revival (originally Queen Anne)","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Used as a single dwelling with a detached garage; the garage was renovated in 2010, and the chimneys have deteriorated, with their bricks saved for future restoration.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:23.966628-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/85/9721/40972185/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/11000980.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/11000980/adec5b8919-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/11000980/adec5b8919-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Tom Reedy","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Rembert_Harrison_House_west_side.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Tom Reedy</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Rembert_Harrison_House_west_side.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40972185","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110002721"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/gregg-county/rembert-frank-taylor-and-kate-womack-house-11000980/"}
