The architect or builder is unknown.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is an excellent local example of the Bungalow style, typical of 1920s housing in Houston Heights. It is one of the few brick veneer bungalows in the multiple resource area and combines common bungalow features with some unusual ones. It stayed in one family for 61 years and keeps a high degree of integrity.","narrative":"Built in 1924 at 1148 Heights Boulevard in Houston, this one-story red brick veneer bungalow reflects the housing of the Houston Heights neighborhood in the 1920s. It rests on brick piers, has an intersecting hip-on-gable roof, and faces west. The off-center front door sits under a single-bay porch with square brick columns, flanked by terraces. Two squat hipped dormers and end-wall chimneys complete the exterior, and the interior retains craftsman built-in features. The only change to the original structure was a brick rear kitchen added in 1929. A rear garage is noncontributing because of alterations. The house was listed for its architecture as an excellent local example of the Bungalow style. Brick veneer bungalows are uncommon in the area, and this one pairs typical 1920s scale and setback with an unusual porch and dormer arrangement. The Nairn family lived here for 61 years, and the house keeps a high degree of integrity. It is now used as a professional office.","period_of_significance":"1924","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Late 19th and Early 20th Century American Movements: Bungalow","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Originally a single dwelling; now used as a professional office.
