The house also remained in the family of the woman who bought the property in 1911 until quite recently. The reviewer found the statement of significance weak but accepted the nomination, noting that the survey selected only a few bungalows.","narrative":"Built around 1912 at 2023 Arlington in the Houston Heights, this one-story frame bungalow stands out for its more elaborate design. It has a combination roof with a large front-corner gable, shingled and pierced by a small round window. An inset porch rests on Doric three-quarter columns set on a battered wooden railing. The main entrance is a single door, and a second door with a transom also opens onto the porch. Windows are one-over-one, and the house has a brick chimney and brick foundation. The roof is composition and the house is recorded as unaltered. It sits in the middle of its block behind a small wire fence, in a lush yard with bushes and trees. Most bungalows in the Heights were much simpler, which is why this one was recognized for its architecture at the local level. A woman bought the property in 1911 and probably had the house built, and it stayed with her family until quite recently. The architect or builder is unknown.","period_of_significance":"1900--","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Bungalow/Colonial Revival influence","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Physical condition is listed as good, with no alterations and the original site; it was in residential use when recorded in 1980.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:18.828407-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/48/9692/40969248/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/83004426.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83004426/58858d31a2-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83004426/58858d31a2-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Niven mcgrath","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Allbach_House.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Niven mcgrath</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:Allbach_House.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40969248","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allbach_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4731189"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/harris-county/allbach-house-83004426/"}
