It also reflects a common Heights practice in which craftsmen built homes for their own use or as rentals. Its builder, Hugh Slover, ran a carpenter's shop with his brother.","narrative":"Built in 1905 at 1517 Cortlandt Street in the Houston Heights, this one-story frame cottage was constructed by Hugh Slover, a craftsman who lived in the 1200 block of the same street and operated a carpenter's shop with his brother. It has clapboard walls, a composition roof, a projecting gable-end bay with fish-scale shingles, and an attached porch on turned columns. Two single doors open onto the porch, and the windows are long and narrow with two-over-two lights. The bay window has leaded glass. The style shows Queen Anne influence. A one-story addition was later made at the rear. The lot is a large yard with five oaks lining the street, and two buildings stand behind the house, one attached to it. The property was recognized locally as a good example of a basic, early cottage. It also reflects the Heights custom of craftsmen building homes for their own use or as rentals.","period_of_significance":"1900--","architect_builder":"Hugh Slover","architectural_style":"Queen Anne influence","criteria":[],"status_note":"Physical condition is listed as good; present use is residence-rental.
