It has horizontal wood siding, a gable roof with composition shingles, exposed rafter ends and stick brackets. Windows are wood-sash double-hung units, some grouped with geometric screen frames, with small windows in the gable ends. A one-bay porch with a gable roof is inset on the north elevation. It has tapered-box supports on brick piers, squared-wood balusters, and brick stoops and piers marking the entries. An exterior brick chimney and a garage complete the property. The house was recorded as an outstanding example of the bungalow style because it combines the main elements of the type in a simple, balanced composition. The inventory form dates it to about 1920, though it also states that E. J. Blazek purchased the property and began construction in 1925. The house remains in the Blazek family. Its condition was recorded as good in 1986.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Bungalow","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition is listed as good, and the 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 02:54:21.841063-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/33/9684/40968433/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/87001608.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87001608/fbe95ff7ce-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87001608/fbe95ff7ce-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"JERRYE &amp; ROY KLOTZ, M.D.","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:E._J._BLAZEK_HOUSE,_BRYAN,_BRAZOS_COUNTY,_TX.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">JERRYE &amp;amp; ROY KLOTZ, M.D.</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:E._J._BLAZEK_HOUSE,_BRYAN,_BRAZOS_COUNTY,_TX.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968433","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110001698"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/brazos-county/blazek-e-j-house-87001608/"}
