Goldy.","why_significant":"The house is a vernacular working-class cottage of a type common in the Heights in the early 20th century. Its significance rests on exceptionally intact architectural features that clearly show its period. William F. Fluegel was its first owner-occupant and lived there for fourteen years.","narrative":"Built around 1910 at 1327 Ashland in the Houston Heights, this one-story frame cottage sits on brick piers and faces east. Its side-gabled roof, intersecting front gable and corner porch give it an almost square form. The five-bay front has 2-over-2 windows and an original pine door with three rectangular lights and a transom. Three turned columns support the open porch, which has a wooden balustrade with a carpenter's square-and-four-hole pattern and a beaded wood ceiling. Decorative bed moldings and rain guards ease the transitions in the exterior trim. A rear lean-to was added in the 1930s. The house appears to have been built by Charles L. Goldy, and William F. Fluegel was the first owner to live in it, staying fourteen years. It was listed as an exceptionally intact example of the working-class cottage once common in the Heights, and it is still a residence among houses of similar age and type.","period_of_significance":"1900","architect_builder":"Charles L.
