The architect and builder are unknown.","why_significant":"The house is extremely well preserved for its location near industry. Its design is typical of the early, simply detailed houses built in the neighborhood at the turn of the century. It has gained added prominence because of its degree of preservation and the loss of comparable dwellings nearby. The area of significance is architecture at the local level.","narrative":"Built around 1903 in the Houston Heights neighborhood, this two-story frame house at 112 W. 4th Street reflects the simple, early residential design of the turn of the century. It has a hipped roof with a projecting front gable whose end is shingled, clapboard walls, and an L-shaped two-story gallery carried on turned posts. The porch posts have flat-cut brackets, and sawtooth fretwork decorates the eaves. Windows have two-over-two lights, and lattice closes the space under the house. The design shows vernacular construction with some Queen Anne influence. The house sits on a small, neatly kept lot at the edge of an industrial area. It was recognized for architecture at the local level because it is so well preserved for its surroundings and because comparable dwellings in the immediate vicinity have disappeared, which has made it more prominent over time. It remains a residence in excellent condition.","period_of_significance":"1900--","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Vernacular, Queen Anne influence","criteria":[],"status_note":"Physical condition is described as excellent; the house is in residential use.
