The nomination calls it the best surviving commemoration of him, since the only other known extant Garner residence is an apartment in a Washington, D.C. hotel. It is listed under Politics/Government.","narrative":"This property at 333 North Park Street in Uvalde, Texas, was the home of John Nance Garner, a Texas congressman, Speaker of the House and Vice President under Franklin D. Roosevelt. The two-story, H-shaped brick house was designed by architect Atlee Ayers and completed in 1920. It has tan brick walls, a stone foundation, a full basement and a hip roof topped with red clay tile. Garner lived there until his wife's death in 1952, then gave the house to the city as a memorial to her. It served as the town library until about 1973 and is now a museum. The lot also holds the small frame house the Garners occupied from about 1900 to 1920, where Garner lived again from 1952 until his death in 1967, and a brick garage from 1920. The nomination describes the exterior as nearly unchanged from Garner's day. Garner served in Congress for thirty years, and the property is considered the best surviving memorial to him.","period_of_significance":"1920-52 (1900-67)","architect_builder":"Atlee Ayers","architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"The brick house, donated to the city of Uvalde in 1952, was used as a library until about 1973 and now serves as a Garner and Uvalde County museum.
