It is a Victorian-style residence with a T-shaped plan and a gable roof that ends in a hipped gable. Decorative features include bargeboard, a projecting bay window, a console over the double door, and a three-bay portico with punched brackets set on square columns, along with cornice brackets. The roof is metal. A 1976 survey recorded the house in fair condition, with rear additions and asbestos siding covering the original walls. It was still used as a residence, as it had been originally. The survey judged that, despite the siding, the house is a good example of Victorian domestic architecture in Bastrop, which is the basis for its listing. A later letter from the owner mentioned that a complete restoration was underway. The architect and builder are not identified in the record.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Victorian","criteria":[],"status_note":"Recorded in 1976 as a residence in fair condition, with rear additions and asbestos siding; a later letter says a complete restoration was underway.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:19.200561-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/85/9680/40968085/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/78003351.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/78003351/37a7db0861-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/78003351/37a7db0861-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"25or6to4","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dawson_House,_Bastrop,_Texas.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">25or6to4</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:Dawson_House,_Bastrop,_Texas.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968085","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110001524"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/bastrop-county/dawson-house-78003351/"}
