Finn and built in 1919-21 on an exclusive tree-lined boulevard.","why_significant":"The house reflects the elegance and architectural quality typical of Courtlandt Place, one of Houston's earliest and most exclusive subdivisions. It is the only residence on the street owned and occupied continuously by the same family, and it incorporates woodwork and a staircase from an 1890 Victorian house. Its continuous maintenance has been a stabilizing influence that helped draw young families to the neighborhood in the 1970s.","narrative":"Built in 1919-21 at 24 Courtlandt Place in Houston, this two-story brick house was designed by architect Alfred C. Finn for Sarah Brashear Jones. Courtlandt Place, a divided, tree-lined boulevard established in 1906, holds 18 prominent residences and has kept its residential character through restrictive covenants. The house has an off-center two-story entrance portico with massive square piers, a wide central gable, a porte cochere on the west, and a rear garage with servants' quarters. Mrs. Jones, whose family arrived in Houston in 1839, moved here as her 1890 Victorian home at Main and Dallas became commercial land. She reused much of its interior, including paneling, doors and an open staircase. Her daughter inherited the house in 1925, and a granddaughter later inherited it. It is the only house on the street held and lived in by one family throughout, and its upkeep has helped stabilize the neighborhood.","period_of_significance":"1919-21","architect_builder":"Alfred C.
