They are noteworthy for their unusually large scale and their height. Carpentry detailing at the eaves also makes unusual references to Classic Revival style.","narrative":"Two side-by-side shotgun houses at 1203-1205 Bob Harrison in East Austin date from about 1900. They are nearly identical, with single-door central entrances and gabled roofs. A generous gable rake return appears on the north elevation. Walls are board-and-batten, and the roofs are covered with corrugated iron. The front porches were replaced at an unknown date, and the buildings are in fair condition and used as rental housing. Both had been moved to this location by 1935, so no specific builder or original owner is known. Together with the shotgun at 1206 Canterbury, they are regarded as the two best surviving examples of their type in East Austin. They stand out for their unusually large scale, shown in their height, and for carpentry detailing at the eaves that makes unusual references to Classic Revival style. Their listing rests on this architectural value.","period_of_significance":"1900-","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Shotgun houses with Classic Revival detailing","criteria":[],"status_note":"Residential rental use; physical condition fair; front porches replaced at an unknown date.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.45705-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/71/9702/40970271/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/85002284.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40970271","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110002336"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/travis-county/shotguns-at-1203-1205-bob-harrison-85002284/"}
