Parker, with a small rear garage.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is an outstanding local example of bungalow architecture, with decorative features that set it apart from simpler bungalows. Its original design elements survive unaltered, making it one of the most intact and best preserved bungalows in Hyde Park. It is listed under Criterion C for architecture.","narrative":"This one-story frame house at 3906 Avenue D in Austin's Hyde Park neighborhood was built in 1927 by the Kuntz-Sternenberg Lumber Co. for James F. and Susie R. Parker. The contract price was $2,321.90, in line with other houses the company built in the area. The house rests on a pier-and-beam foundation and is clad in wood siding. Its east facade features a gabled roof with a lower gabled porch, tapered box supports on brick piers with cast-stone caps, triangular knee braces, exposed rafter ends, and a geometrically carved gable vent. Screens with divided upper sections add to the detailing. A small frame garage stands at the rear. The house was recognized as an outstanding local example of bungalow architecture from the period of Hyde Park's most intense residential development. Its decorative treatments distinguish it from plainer bungalows, and because they survive unaltered, it is considered one of the most intact and best preserved examples in the neighborhood. Susie Parker died soon after the move, and the house was later rented and sold.","period_of_significance":"1927","architect_builder":"Kuntz-Sternenberg Lumber Co.","architectural_style":"Bungalow","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Described as virtually unaltered and in good condition; 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 02:54:21.416438-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/67/9702/40970267/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/90001181.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90001181/ec13d2d539-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90001181/ec13d2d539-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Gilborrego","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:James_F._and_Susie_R._Parker_House.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Gilborrego</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:James_F._and_Susie_R._Parker_House.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40970267","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110000837"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/travis-county/parker-james-f-and-susie-r-house-90001181/"}
