The wood-frame house has bull-nosed siding, a brick pier foundation, an irregular plan with a projecting chamfered bay, and intersecting pyramidal hip and pedimented gable roofs. A porch with slender Doric columns wraps from the front around to the south side. A small gazebo with gingerbread trim stands in the yard, and servants quarters sit at the rear. The house is described as a very good example of the Queen Anne cottage form in Texas at the turn of the century. It is also associated with other lumber company residences of the type local writer Lita Mayberry called Type A houses, noted for size, spacious fenced yards and prominent locations. Many original interior finishes remain, and the property is in excellent condition and still used as a residence.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne Cottage","criteria":[],"status_note":"Present condition is stated as excellent, and the building is 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 02:54:20.768862-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/42/9679/40967942/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/88002790.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88002790/21b3bfd7fe-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88002790/21b3bfd7fe-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Cherterich","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kurth-Glover_House.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Cherterich</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:Kurth-Glover_House.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40967942","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q107321666"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/angelina-county/kurth-glover-house-88002790/"}
