It is also a good example of a type often built in Texas during the transition from the Victorian period to the 20th century. Its significance is rated local, under the area of architecture.","narrative":"Built in 1908-09 at 1421 Heights Boulevard in Houston, this two-story frame house is classified as Colonial Revival. It has a hipped roof, clapboard walls and a composition roof. A two-story classical portico with large fluted Doric columns dominates the front, with a flat-cut balustrade on the second floor and windows in the pediment. A first-floor porch runs across the front on smaller fluted Doric columns. The doorway has sidelights and a transom, and the windows have one-over-one lights. The house sits on its original site in the middle of a residential block, on a small yard of less than one acre, and appears too large for its lot. It has been used as a residence throughout, and a recent rehabilitation was described as sympathetic. It was listed for its architecture at the local level. The style is uncommon in this neighborhood, yet it represents a type frequently built in Texas as the Victorian period gave way to the 20th century. The architect or builder is unknown.","period_of_significance":"1900--","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Colonial Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Residence in original use; the form notes a recent sympathetic rehabilitation and good physical condition, on its original site.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:18.896292-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/64/9692/40969264/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/83004452.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83004452/e2c0d421e9-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83004452/e2c0d421e9-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"25or6to4","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:1421_Heights_Boulevard,_Houston,_TX.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">25or6to4</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:1421_Heights_Boulevard,_Houston,_TX.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40969264","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110002129"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/harris-county/house-at-1421-heights-boulevard-83004452/"}
