It is also tied to Frank Rehorn, a pioneer building contractor involved in the open-shop disputes of the period, and to the work of architect A.C. Swartz.","narrative":"Built in 1905 at 1050 S Street in Fresno, this two-story Georgian Revival house was designed for contractor Frank Rehorn and is attributed to architect A.C. Swartz. It has pale grey Antioch sandbrick walls with quoined corners, a balustraded porch, ionic columns, and a Palladian window beneath an open pediment. Inside, an oversized entry hall holds a rope-molded open stairway. Its basement served as a cool summer room and, by family recollection, as a ballroom. Later owners included H. H. Holland, who hired Glass and Butner to remodel it in 1919, and the Roman Catholic Diocese, which used it as a convent until 1970. After years of decline, architects bought it in 1976 and restored the original plan for office use. The nomination describes it as the finest Georgian Revival house remaining in Fresno and the best-preserved survivor of the once-fashionable Cathedral District, whose other grand homes were demolished or heavily altered.","period_of_significance":"1900-","architect_builder":"Architect: Alexander Culbertson Swartz; Builder: Frank Rehorn","architectural_style":"Georgian Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Rehabilitated and restored after 1976 for use as architectural offices; condition listed as excellent and occupied.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:31.144392-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/82002177.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123858687","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":null},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/fresno-county/rehorn-house-82002177/"}
