It is a frame, one-and-a-half-story house with an L-shaped plan, clapboard walls and a composition roof. The front facade has a projecting gable-end bay, with a shingled gable holding a window above a chamfered bay of three windows. An attached porch wraps to one side, and the single entry door has a transom. Windows have one-over-one lights, an exterior stucco chimney rises on one side, and a skylight sits at the roof peak. The house rests on brick piers with open spaces between them. The porch supports were replaced with square posts, and a rear addition was built, though the additions are described as sympathetic to the original structure. It sits on a large, well-kept corner lot with big trees in a residential neighborhood. It was recognized as an excellent, well-preserved example of the Queen Anne cottages built in the Heights, with fine details that are not overly elaborate. The architect and builder are unknown.","period_of_significance":"1900--","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":[],"status_note":"Physical condition is listed as excellent; the house is still used as a residence on a well-kept corner lot.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:19.380905-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/54/9693/40969354/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/84001784.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84001784/6be3930f7a-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84001784/6be3930f7a-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"25or6to4","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:1304_Cortlandt_Street,_Houston,_TX.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">25or6to4</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:1304_Cortlandt_Street,_Houston,_TX.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40969354","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110002128"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/harris-county/house-at-1304-cortlandt-street-84001784/"}
