The architect and builder are unknown.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it one of the oldest Prairie style houses in San Angelo, built between 1910 and 1913. It sits on a street with other Prairie houses built a few years later, after World War I. Its first occupant appears to have been Hector MacKenzie, a prominent cattleman and land owner.","narrative":"Brick walls, wide eaves and a low hipped roof mark this house at 731 Preusser in San Angelo as an example of Prairie style design. Built between about 1910 and 1913, it rises two and a half stories in a cubical form, with a hipped dormer on the front facade. An offset one-story hipped porch rests on brick columns, and one-story hipped projections sit well back on either side. A brick stringcourse circles the house at the top of the first floor. Later changes include painted brick, a porch floor covered in terra cotta tile and replacement windows, though the house remains in good condition on its original site. Its importance is architectural: it is considered one of the oldest Prairie style houses in the city, standing on a residential street where other Prairie houses followed after World War I. The first occupant seems to have been Hector MacKenzie, a prominent cattleman and land owner. The architect and builder are not known.","period_of_significance":"c.1910-1913","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Prairie","criteria":[],"status_note":"Physical condition is described as good; the site is original.
