It follows a central-hall plan with an early rear ell, board-and-batten walls, a cross-gable wood-shingle roof, and two stone chimneys with corbeled caps. The symmetrical three-bay facade has a single-door entrance with transom and sidelights, a shed-roofed porch, and a gabled extension rising above the center bay. A stone-lined cistern with a pyramidal roof survives as an outbuilding. The house was built for Reverend Sterling Lane, who is believed to have used the front room as a classroom for young children. Reverend George W. Riley bought it in 1906. Its listing rests on architecture: it is one of the oldest frame dwellings in Georgetown and has remained virtually unaltered since the 1870s. The property is described as in good condition and currently vacant.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Vernacular","criteria":[],"status_note":"Present use is listed as vacant; condition is given as good.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.742044-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/29/9708/40970829/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/86000975.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86000975/d9b67f0411-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86000975/d9b67f0411-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Renelibrary","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:LaneRileyHouse1.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Renelibrary</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:LaneRileyHouse1.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40970829","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110000550"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/williamson-county/lane-riley-house-86000975/"}
