The architect or builder is unknown.","why_significant":"The house is described as quite simple but attractive and lightly detailed. It illustrates middle-class suburban housing in the Heights. Its area of significance is architecture, at the local level.","narrative":"Built around 1905 in the Houston Heights, this two-story frame house at 1437 Heights Boulevard reflects the modest, middle-class housing that characterized the suburb. It has clapboard walls, a composition roof and a hip roof with a corner gable on the front facade, which holds a small window of 13 lights. An attached porch wraps around to the side, supported by turned posts with fretwork, balusters and flat-cut brackets, and lattice fills the spaces between brick piers. The single front door has a decorative transom light, and the windows are one-over-one. The style shows Queen Anne and Eastlake influence. Some porch ornamentation was added later, and a modern garage does not contribute to the historic character. The house sits on a small lot without trees, beside a newer brick apartment building, in a mixed residential and apartment neighborhood. It was recorded in 1980 as a simple but attractive, lightly detailed example of Heights housing, with significance in architecture at the local level. It remains a residence in good condition.","period_of_significance":"1900--","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne influence / Eastlake influence","criteria":[],"status_note":"Good condition; still used as a residence on its original site.
