Its earliest listed inhabitant owned two local grocery stores. The two-story board-and-batten carriage house is described as an unusual survivor of a once-common building type in the Heights.","narrative":"Built around 1912 in the Houston Heights, this two-story frame house with clapboard walls and a composition roof was designed in a large, simple form with some Colonial Revival influence. A combination roof includes a projecting gable-end bay on the front facade. A two-story gallery curves and wraps to one side on Doric columns with square balusters, and single porch doors with transoms open on both levels. Windows are one-over-one, and lattice fills the space between brick piers under the house. A board-and-batten carriage house stands at the rear of the lot and is noted as an unusual example of a once-common Heights building type. The house was recognized as a good example of the homes built for the area's more prosperous middle-class residents, slightly earlier in style than its date. Its first listed occupant owned two neighborhood grocery stores. The property sits on less than an acre among large trees and remains a residence, with recent renovation.","period_of_significance":"1900--","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Colonial Revival influence","criteria":[],"status_note":"Good condition and in residential use; recently renovated, with new-style doors added to the carriage house (garage).","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:19.172226-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/90/9692/40969290/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/84001774.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84001774/24bf2473d2-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84001774/24bf2473d2-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Ed Uthman, Houston, Texas, US","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:House_at_1210_Harvard_St.,_Houston_(HDR).jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Ed Uthman, Houston, Texas, US</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:House_at_1210_Harvard_St.,_Houston_(HDR).jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40969290","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110002137"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/harris-county/house-at-1210-harvard-street-84001774/"}
