Newman in Cuero, this 1 1/2-story frame house was erected for Charles Wittmer, according to tax rolls. It follows a two-room plan and has weatherboard siding, a gable roof with composition shingles, and wood-sash double-hung windows with six-over-six lights. A three-bay porch is inset across the south elevation, supported by box columns with molded caps beneath an unadorned entablature that wraps around the facade. An integral rear ell and classical detailing on the window surrounds complete the design. The house sits in a residential area south of the central business district. It was recognized for its architecture: as one of Cuero's oldest residences, it is considered an outstanding local example of a two-room dwelling with modest Greek Revival detailing. The property remained in the Wittmer family through the 1930s. It was recorded in 1986 and is still in residential use, in good condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Two-room dwelling, with modest Greek Revival detailing","criteria":[],"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 02:54:21.932535-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/34/9688/40968834/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/88001977.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968834","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110000799"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/dewitt-county/wittmer-charles-house-88001977/"}
