Hunt in Cuero, De Witt County, Texas, built circa 1885 in a residential area southeast of the central business district.","why_significant":"It is described as one of Cuero's most outstanding and best-preserved center-passage dwellings, virtually unaltered since the 1880s. It has Greek Revival details such as a classical cornice and eave returns, along with Victorian-era chamfered posts and jig-sawn brackets.

Hunt in Cuero, this 1 1/2-story frame house follows a center-passage plan. It has weatherboard siding, a gable roof with composition shingles, double-hung wood windows with six-over-six lights, and a single-door entrance with transom and sidelights. A five-bay porch is inset across the east side, supported by box columns with molded caps, with chamfered posts, balusters and jig-sawn brackets. A rear ell extends behind the main block. Classical detailing frames the doors and windows, and the cornice and eave returns reflect Greek Revival influence, while the brackets and posts are more typical of the Victorian era. The house was listed for its architecture. It is regarded as one of the city's most outstanding and best-preserved examples of the center-passage type, little changed since the 1880s. It was the home of Dane Wittenbert, who, according to a 1906 article, was responsible for moving many houses from Indianola. The house remains in residential use and is in good condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Center-passage dwelling (vernacular), with Greek Revival details","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Present condition is listed as good, and the 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 02:54:21.648783-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/80/9687/40968780/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/88001966.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88001966/8a23de7a0b-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88001966/8a23de7a0b-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"25or6to4","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dane_Wittenbert_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:Dane_Wittenbert_House,_Cuero,_Texas.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968780","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110001863"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/dewitt-county/wittenbert-dane-house-88001966/"}
