It was moved from Marion Street when Highway 71 was built through the area.","why_significant":"The house is tied to P. A. Fry and Frank Fry, early teachers at Emile School, and is considered important to Black education in Bastrop. P. A. Fry first taught at the Deaf and Blind Institute in Austin before coming to Bastrop around 1900 and marrying Frank Fry.","narrative":"This one-story frame house at 1403 Government Street in Bastrop dates to the 1890s and was originally built as a residence. It has an ell-shaped plan, a corrugated tin roof, one brick chimney, and a central porch sheltering two single doors, each flanked by a window. The house was moved from Marion Street when Highway 71 was cut through, and its siding has been altered, though its condition is recorded as good. It sits across the street from the former Emile School. The house is significant for its association with P. A. Fry, who first taught at the Deaf and Blind Institute in Austin and came to Bastrop around the turn of the twentieth century, where she married Frank Fry. Both were early teachers at Emile School, and the property is regarded as important to the history of Black education in Bastrop.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Physical condition is listed as good; siding has been altered and the house was moved from Marion Street when Highway 71 cut through.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:19.363352-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/13/9681/40968113/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/78003337.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968113","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110002838"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/bastrop-county/fry-p-a-house-78003337/"}
