Parker in Bryan, Texas, dates to about 1875 and may be among the oldest surviving dwellings in the city. It has weatherboard siding, a gable roof, six-over-six double-hung windows, and two single-door entrances beneath a five-bay inset porch with polygonal columns, molded caps, squared balusters and a jig-sawn frieze. Brick chimneys, gabled rear additions and kicked eaves in the gable ends are also noted. Asbestos siding covers the side elevations, yet the house is judged to retain its integrity. It is listed for architecture, as an outstanding local example of a double-entry dwelling with an inset porch. Property records show J.B. Leonard owning the land in the 1880s and 1890s, followed by W.R. Rhodes, who probably made improvements, perhaps the large rear additions. The Noto family has owned the house since about 1913. It sits in an area of modest dwellings and altered Victorian-era houses west of the cotton compress.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Present condition is described as good, with additions and remodelings over the years; 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 02:54:20.995661-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/25/9684/40968425/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/87001639.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968425","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110000725"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/brazos-county/noto-house-87001639/"}
