It is a modified version of the T-plan house, a traditional domestic form, with a cross plan and cross-gabled roof covered in composition shingles. Beveled wood siding clads the walls, and wood sash double-hung windows have one-over-one or two-over-two lights. Entry porches in the southwest and southeast ells shelter single doors with transoms and decorative glass. Victorian ornament includes turned posts with jig-sawn brackets, a spindle frieze, turned balusters, and a projecting bay with angled corners and imbricated shingle siding on the south elevation. A single corbel-capped brick chimney rises from the interior. The survey recorded the house in good condition, still in residential use and on its original site. It was recognized for its architecture, as a well-executed example of a common house type enriched with period detailing.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Victorian; modified T-plan (cross plan) house","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed in good condition; still used as a residence and on its original site.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.694235-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/88/9704/40970488/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/86002557.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002557/d94521675a-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002557/d94521675a-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"25or6to4","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:House_at_306_East_Forrest,_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:House_at_306_East_Forrest,_Victoria,_TX.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40970488","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110002413"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/victoria-county/house-at-306-east-forrest-86002557/"}
