S. Rogers for merchant Salvatore Bailetti.","why_significant":"The house is considered architecturally significant for its unusual duplex form, which is described as a unique example in East Austin. It is also valued for its completeness and almost unaltered condition. It is also tied to Salvatore Bailetti, a prominent early East Austin merchant.","narrative":"Built in 1886 at 1006 Waller Street in East Austin, this one-story raised cottage was constructed by W. S. Rogers for Salvatore Bailetti, a prominent early merchant who ran a drug and grocery store and a saloon across the street at 1001 East 11th Street. The wood-frame house is covered in clapboard and has a symmetrical facade, a hipped roof and two corbeled-brick chimneys. Two entries open from either side of a deeply inset porch, where two delicately carved brackets are the only significant decoration. Two-over-two double-hung windows with simple pointed hood moulds flank the porch. The house was recognized for its unusual duplex form, which is a unique example in East Austin, along with its completeness and almost unaltered condition. Changes are limited to concrete front steps replacing wooden ones and a possibly replaced center window. Originally a residence, it now serves as an office and remains in excellent condition.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899, 1900-","architect_builder":"W. S.
