Their proximity and similarity make them unusual, with fine ornamental wood and brick detailing. They are also tied to Aber and Haberle, two prominent businessmen whose brickyard and lumber mill interests shaped local building.","narrative":"Two brick houses stand side by side on South Bolton Street in Jacksonville, Texas, built around 1895 for brothers-in-law Edgar Aber and Frederick Haberle. Both are two stories with asymmetrical massing, pyramidal roofs with intersecting gables, and elaborate machine-turned millwork typical of the Queen Anne and Eastlake styles. The Aber House carries the more ornate wraparound porch, though its octagonal corner tower was removed early in the 20th century. The Haberle House has a lower, more horizontal front porch with patterned spindle work. Brick residences are uncommon in this East Texas community, which adds to the pair's importance. Aber and Haberle made bricks and millwork that supplied much of Jacksonville's turn-of-the-century construction, and in 1896 they began a crate and basket business that still operates nearby. The houses stayed in the Haberle family until 1979 and have since been restored, one serving as offices and the other as a home.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899 (specific date c. 1895)","architect_builder":"Edgar Aber and Fred Haberle","architectural_style":"Queen Anne/Eastlake","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Both houses have been restored and survive nearly intact apart from the Aber House's lost corner tower. The Haberle House serves as an office with space leased to tenants, and the Aber House is a private residence.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.752594-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/6/9715/40971506/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/84001630.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84001630/929f74eebb-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84001630/929f74eebb-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Michael Barera","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jacksonville_August_2017_31_(Haberle_House).jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Michael Barera</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:Jacksonville_August_2017_31_(Haberle_House).jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40971506","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q140166430"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/cherokee-county/aber-and-haberle-houses-84001630/"}
