Although chosen from a local builder's catalogue, its detailing is unusual compared with other builder-built homes in Houston Heights of the same period. Its multiple intersecting gables and asymmetrical balance of triple windows and an embellished entrance are the features singled out.","narrative":"This one-story frame house at 1611 Harvard in Houston Heights was built in 1926 from a catalogue plan offered by the Crain Ready Cut House Company. It sits on a pier-and-beam foundation, has drop siding and an asphalt roof, and is covered by multiple cross-gabled roofs. Wood windows with one-over-one sash are grouped in threes on every side. The main entrance on the east elevation is offset to the south and has an Arts and Crafts door with nine beveled lights, sidelights, an elliptical fanlight and an elliptical canopy beneath an intersecting gable on triangular knee braces. A screened porch across the rear was added soon after construction. The house was listed as a good example of the Arts and Crafts bungalow. Although it came from a builder's catalogue, its detailing differs from other builder homes in the Heights of the same era, especially its intersecting gables and the asymmetry created by triple windows and the embellished entrance. It remains a residence in excellent condition.","period_of_significance":"1900-","architect_builder":"Crain Ready Cut House Company","architectural_style":"Bungalow (Arts and Crafts)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Physical condition is described as excellent; the house is still used as a residence.
