It is virtually unaltered and represents quality middle-class housing from the city's first two decades of growth. Local-level significance is claimed under architecture.","narrative":"This small frame bungalow at 709 East Reynolds in Stamford, Texas, dates to about 1908 and shows many Craftsman features. Its wood siding grows wider toward the ground, giving the walls a slightly battered look. The hipped roof has gablets at each end, four gabled dormers, and hipped extensions over the front porch and two square bays. Exposed purlins and rafters add to the bungalow character, and square porch columns are joined by decorative stickwork. Many windows reflect the Craftsman interest in light and ventilation. The house is considered one of the best examples of this kind of vernacular bungalow in the city. It is virtually unaltered and represents quality middle-class housing from Stamford's first two decades of growth. Dating is uncertain because fire insurance maps did not cover this area, but it was probably built around 1907 to 1908, possibly for a college employee or faculty member, since Stamford College stood across the street and the College Heights addition was platted in 1907.","period_of_significance":"c. 1908","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Craftsman / Bungalow","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Described as unaltered and in good condition.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.747386-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/32/9697/40969732/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/86002384.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002384/8bf1766fb6-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002384/8bf1766fb6-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Renelibrary","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ReynoldsHouse1_(1_of_1).jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Renelibrary</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ReynoldsHouse1_(1_of_1).jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40969732","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110001251"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/jones-county/house-at-709-east-reynolds-86002384/"}
