It retains a high degree of integrity and is in excellent condition. It is tied to the local context of community development and regional expansion from 1870 to 1941.","narrative":"Built about 1914 at 405 College in Brenham, this tan brick bungalow rises 1 1/2 stories beneath a hipped tile roof crossed by wide gable dormers. Broad eaves with exposed rafter ends, knee brackets, and an inset full-width porch with square wooden columns on brick piers show the influence of Craftsman designers such as Gustav Stickley and the California firm Greene and Greene. A low-pitched dormer opens to a small balcony, and the porch ceiling is pressed metal in a coffered pattern. A frame double garage sits at the rear corner of the lot. The house was reportedly designed by local builder Moses Ginn for Almot Schlenker, a Brenham native who worked as a bank officer and later served on the Blinn College board. It was listed for its architecture, as one of the finest expressions of the bungalow style in Brenham, with a high degree of integrity and excellent condition.","period_of_significance":"c.1914","architect_builder":"Ginn, Moses","architectural_style":"Bungalow","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Described as being in excellent condition with a high degree of integrity; still used as a single dwelling.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.623606-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/13/9706/40970613/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/90000461.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90000461/ae0003e402-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90000461/ae0003e402-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 4.0","author":"Larry D.
