It was also the home of T. L. Caswell, who operated a garage on Myrtle Street.","narrative":"Built around 1905, this one-story wood-frame house at 207 E. 9th Street in Georgetown follows a vernacular L plan. Weatherboard siding covers the walls, and a gable roof with composition shingles is trimmed with box eaves and imbricated shingles in the gable ends. Windows are wood sash double-hung units with two-over-two lights and crown molding on the facings. A bay porch with an angled extension at the southeast corner wraps the north and east elevations, supported by turned wooden posts with jigsawn brackets. The only noted alteration is a concrete porch floor, and the house is in fair condition. It sits in a neighborhood of mostly turn-of-the-century dwellings southeast of downtown. Its significance rests chiefly on architecture: it is described as a good example of an early twentieth-century L-plan home with Victorian details. It was also the residence of T. L. Caswell, who operated a garage on Myrtle Street. The architect and builder are unknown.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Vernacular L plan","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition listed as fair, with alterations including a concrete porch floor; present use is residential.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.598933-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/41/9708/40970841/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/86000994.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86000994/936a29b634-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86000994/936a29b634-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Renelibrary","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CaswellHouse1.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:CaswellHouse1.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40970841","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110002586"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/williamson-county/caswell-house-86000994/"}
