Water in Victoria, Texas, built around 1905 for Victoria architect James Hull, on a lot east of the original townsite near the railroad tracks.","why_significant":"The nomination presents the house for its architecture and its link to James Hull, a successful Victoria architect who bought the property in 1898 and apparently built his home there a few years later. His restrained one-story design with modest classical references is described as a pleasing, comfortable home.","narrative":"This one-and-a-half-story frame house at 1002 N.E. Water in Victoria, Texas, dates to about 1905. It was apparently built by James Hull, a successful local architect who acquired the lot in 1898. The house has weatherboard siding, a hipped roof with dormers, box eaves with crown moldings, and tin cresting along the rooflines. Its plan is asymmetrical, and a two-bay porch sits inset under the hipped roof at the southeast corner. Classical touches include Ionic columns on brick piers supporting a pediment over the entry, a molded festoon on the pediment, and Doric columns between windows in the dormers. The entry has sidelights and a transom, and the windows are wood sash with one-over-one lights. The nomination values the house as a modest, understated work by a prominent local architect. Hull died in 1922, and his widow Sophie kept the property until 1943. The house stands in a mostly residential area near the railroad tracks and is in good condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"James Hull (architect and original owner; builder listed as N/A)","architectural_style":"Vernacular dwelling with classical details","criteria":[],"status_note":"Present condition is listed as good, and 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 02:54:21.887282-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/7/9705/40970507/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/86002543.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002543/9233c10890-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002543/9233c10890-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"25or6to4","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hull_House,_Victoria,_TX.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">25or6to4</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:Hull_House,_Victoria,_TX.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40970507","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110002452"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/victoria-county/hull-house-86002543/"}
