Baring, with an original rear garage.","why_significant":"It is significant as a well-preserved bungalow with Craftsman influence built in the Heights between 1905 and 1930. Its hipped roof makes it one of the few such bungalows in the Heights. It is also one of the houses a builder constructed as his own home in the neighborhood.","narrative":"Built in 1921 at 1030 Rutland in the Houston Heights, this one-story frame bungalow shows Craftsman influence. The rectangular house faces west and rests on brick piers beneath a hipped roof. A slightly smaller front porch with a gable roof is carried on two tapered wooden box columns set on capped brick piers, with a wooden balustrade of wide vertical balusters and triangular knee braces under the gable eaves. A single internal brick chimney rises from the main block. Behind the house stands a two-story, side-gabled garage with a tin roof, which is original and contributes to the property. The house was listed because it is a well-preserved example of its type. Its hipped roof is uncommon among Heights bungalows, and it was built by Otto H. Baring as his own home. It remains a residence on a block of buildings of similar age and design, with large trees in the yard.","period_of_significance":"1900","architect_builder":"Otto H.
