Webber.","why_significant":"The house is unusual in style and material for Heights Boulevard, since brick was uncommon for a Queen Anne residence in Houston. It remains one of the most substantial turn-of-the-century houses of its date and style in the Heights. Its main significance is its builder, a brickmason whose houses reflect the growing middle-class population of the Heights.","narrative":"Built in 1907-1908 at 1011 Heights Boulevard in Houston, this two-story brick house combines Queen Anne form with Colonial Revival influence. It has a hipped roof, a gabled bay on one front corner, a round tower on the other, and a front porch with Doric half-columns set on brick piers. Samuel H. Webber, a brickmason, had earlier built a home for his family at 407 Heights Boulevard. In 1907 he bought this corner lot and built a larger, finer residence. One of his daughters lived there until the late 1970s. Brick was an uncommon choice for a Queen Anne house in Houston, and the building remains one of the most substantial houses of its date and style in the Heights. Its significance rests largely on Webber, a craftsman whose work reflects the rising middle class of the neighborhood. His wife was active in Heights social life and a charter member of the Heights Woman's Club.","period_of_significance":"1900--","architect_builder":"Samuel H.
