Broadway in Cuero, De Witt County, Texas, built around 1914 for Floyd Buchel. It sits in a residential area northeast of the central business district.","why_significant":"The nomination presents it as one of the finest local examples of the fairly common modified L-plan house form. It includes Classical Revival detailing, and its dormer with a Palladian window arrangement is noted as especially noteworthy. The reviewer's summary calls it the best local example of an L-plan dwelling.","narrative":"Built around 1914 for Floyd Buchel, who owned it through the 1930s, this one-story frame house at 407 E. Broadway in Cuero follows a modified L plan. It has weatherboard siding, a hip roof with gables, wood double-hung windows, and an L-shaped porch with paired tapered box supports on wooden piers. Other features include brick chimneys with corbeled caps, wide overhanging eaves, a square projecting bay, and an oculus with a pent roof in the gable end. A dormer shaped to match its Palladian window is the most distinctive element, and a gabled dormer faces south. The house was listed as one of the finest local examples of an otherwise fairly common house form, enriched by Classical Revival detailing. It is recorded as having been moved to its current corner at Broadway and Hunt streets, remains in residential use, and is in good condition, with a screened porch as the main alteration.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Modified L-plan dwelling with Classical Revival detailing","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Described as in good condition, with a screened-in porch as an alteration; still used as a residence.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:20.945523-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/18/9688/40968818/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/88001950.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88001950/26d5bc0a42-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88001950/26d5bc0a42-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"25or6to4","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Floyd_Buchel_House,_Cuero,_Texas.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">25or6to4</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Floyd_Buchel_House,_Cuero,_Texas.JPG"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"88001997","name":"Terrell-Reuss Streets Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/texas/terrell-reuss-streets-historic-district-88001997/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968818","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110001867"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/dewitt-county/buchel-floyd-house-88001950/"}
