The architect and builder are unknown.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it an unusual style of house that is very prominent on its block. It also notes that its early owners were typical white-collar residents of the Heights, one of them a real estate agent, a popular profession in the area. The area of significance is architecture, at the local level.","narrative":"Built between 1905 and 1908 in the Houston Heights, this two-story frame house at 1227 Rutland Street shows some Colonial Revival influence. It is square in plan, with a hipped roof and a large central front dormer that forms an inset upper gallery. The gallery has small square posts and simple balusters, and a fan-shaped decoration marks the dormer gable. Two doors open onto the gallery, and an attached porch with large square posts shelters the single front door. Windows have one-over-one lights, and brick piers support the house. Siding was added later and the concrete steps are newer. Recorded in 1980, the house was in fair condition and used as a rental residence. It was listed for its unusual style and its prominence on its block, and for its early owners, who were typical white-collar residents of the Heights, including a real estate agent in what was then a popular local profession.","period_of_significance":"1900--","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Colonial Revival influence","criteria":[],"status_note":"Recorded in 1980 as in fair condition and used as a rental residence; the yard was described as poorly kept with a chain-link fence.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:19.194446-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/94/9692/40969294/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/84001777.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40969294","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110000970"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/harris-county/house-at-1227-rutland-street-84001777/"}
