The architect or builder is unknown.","why_significant":"The house is significant locally for its architecture. It is one of few remaining houses in the Heights in this elaborate style, which was once seen in several homes along the Boulevard and on prominent corners. It is also tied to early real estate investors, including Henry P. Mansfield, S. Allen Kincaide and Alexander Peddie of the Peddie Land Co.","narrative":"Built around 1900 at 1802 Harvard Street, this two-and-a-half-story frame house is a Victorian residence in the Houston Heights showing Stick Style influence. It has clapboard walls, a brick foundation, a wooden shingle roof with lateral gables, and a square corner tower topped by a shingled hip roof, four small gables, a tall spire and a finial. A porch wraps both sides of a central projecting bay, supported by ornate square posts with scroll brackets and fretwork. The house sits on a large, well-landscaped corner lot and remains unaltered. Before the Heights was annexed by Houston, it was owned by real estate investors: Henry P. Mansfield had it built, then sold it to S. Allen Kincaide, who later sold it to Alexander Peddie of the Peddie Land Co. It was recognized for its architecture because few houses of this elaborate style survive in the Heights. It is now used as a residence and architect's office.","period_of_significance":"1900--","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Stick Style influence","criteria":[],"status_note":"Physical condition is described as excellent with no alterations; it is used as a residence and an architect's office.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:18.855865-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/90/9693/40969390/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/83004472.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83004472/552a3208ff-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83004472/552a3208ff-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 3.0","author":"Ed Uthman, Houston, Texas, USA","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mansfield_House_(HDR).jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Ed Uthman, Houston, Texas, USA</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mansfield_House_(HDR).jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40969390","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q107317857"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/harris-county/mansfield-house-83004472/"}
