Newman in Cuero, De Witt County, Texas, built around 1890 by an unknown builder. It stands in a residential area southwest of the central business district.","why_significant":"The house is tied to E.A. Daule, who owned it from the 1890s through the 1930s. Daule came to Cuero in 1890, taught in the local black school and later served about 40 years as principal of the black high school.

Newman in Cuero, Texas, dates to about 1890 and follows an L-plan form. It has weatherboard siding, a gable roof with composition shingles, double-hung wood windows with four-over-four lights, and a three-bay L-shaped porch with a shed roof on the south and west sides. Door and window surrounds are pedimented, and the front-projecting wing has cutaway corners. The house is listed mainly for its link to E.A. Daule, who owned it from the 1890s through the 1930s. Tax rolls document his ownership. Daule graduated from college in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, came to Cuero in 1890, and began as a teacher in the local black school. He later became principal of the black high school and served about 40 years. A new black high school built in 1948-49 was named Daule High School in his honor. Local tradition credits him with developing and upgrading Cuero's black schools. The property is in good condition and remains residential.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"L-plan dwelling","criteria":["B"],"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 02:54:21.85522-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/54/9688/40968854/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/88001981.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968854","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110001897"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/dewitt-county/daule-e-a-house-88001981/"}
