The architect and builder are unknown.","why_significant":"The house is described as an outstanding example of a once-common regional house type. It is one of few in Bryan to keep its original configuration and details. The area of significance is architecture.","narrative":"Built around 1900 in an older residential area a few blocks east of Bryan's original town site, this one-story frame house at 1401 Baker follows an L-plan. It has drop siding, a gable roof with composition shingles, box eaves, and wood-sash double-hung windows with four-over-four lights. The single-door main entrance has a transom, and a three-bay shed-roofed porch on the east elevation is supported by turned-wood posts with jig-sawn brackets. The house is modest, but it is valued as an outstanding example of a once-common regional house type. Few similar houses in Bryan still keep their original configuration and details, which is the main reason it was listed for its architecture. The property occupies less than one acre, is in good condition, and is still used as a residence. The architect and builder are not known. Survey work in 1986 recorded it as part of a citywide review of Bryan's historic resources.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"L-plan","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Condition is listed as good; 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 02:54:21.853388-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/57/9684/40968457/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/87001621.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87001621/2370e995db-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87001621/2370e995db-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 4.0","author":"Larry D.
