The architect or builder is unknown.","why_significant":"The nomination describes it as a good example of a simply detailed, early cottage. It was one of few houses of this style built so early on Oxford Street. It is also prominently sited and apparently intact.","narrative":"Built in 1906, this one-story frame cottage on a corner lot at 1230 Oxford Street in Houston Heights shows Queen Anne influence in a modest form. It has clapboard walls, a composition roof combining hipped and gabled forms, and an interior brick chimney. The front facade is made up of a gable bay and two recessed areas. An attached porch curves around to the side on plain, tapering columns with plain squared balusters. Patterned shingles decorate the front bay, two single doors open onto the porch, and a decorative oval window sits on the front wall. The house was listed because it is a good example of a simply detailed early cottage and one of few of its style built so early on Oxford Street. It is prominently sited, apparently intact, with no known alterations, and it is still used as a residence with a well-kept yard in a residential area.","period_of_significance":"1900--","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne influence","criteria":[],"status_note":"Physical condition is described as good; the original use and present use are both residence, and no alterations are known.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:19.562391-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/52/9693/40969352/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/84001780.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84001780/7b3e5e1d5e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84001780/7b3e5e1d5e-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Susantina","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:1230_Oxford_St_IMG_0060.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Susantina</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:1230_Oxford_St_IMG_0060.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40969352","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110000972"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/harris-county/house-at-1230-oxford-street-84001780/"}
