Its houses date mainly from the late 1920s and 1930s, in an addition platted in 1922 by developer Monroe M. Shipe.","why_significant":"The district is significant under Criterion C for its architecture, with the highest concentration of Tudor Revival dwellings in Austin's northern suburbs. Its brick-veneer houses used more expensive masonry than the wood-sided bungalows of nearby Hyde Park. A few Bungalow-style houses, including the Proctor House at 3810 Duval, add variety.","narrative":"Shadow Lawn is a compact neighborhood of single-family houses in the southeast part of Austin's Hyde Park, covering the 3800 blocks of Avenue G, Avenue H and Duval Street. Developer Monroe M. Shipe platted the Shadow Lawn Addition in 1922, though building did not begin in earnest until the late 1920s, and the busiest years were the 1930s. Most of the historic houses are one-story brick-veneer dwellings with Tudor Revival features such as steep hipped and gabled roofs, half-timbering and round-arched doorways. Three are bungalows, including the 1926 Proctor House at 3810 Duval, designed by architect Roy L. Thomas and built by Frank Rundell. City directories show that professionals owned most of the early houses, and their choice of brick contrasted with the wood cladding common nearby. Of 41 resources, 25 contribute to the district's character. The area is notable for its cohesion and for having the densest concentration of Tudor Revival homes in Austin's northern suburbs.","period_of_significance":"1922 - 1941","architect_builder":"unknown","architectural_style":"Tudor Revival; Bungalow","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Houses are described as generally well maintained and in good condition, with few alterations; most still serve as single-family dwellings.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.870284-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/3/9703/40970303/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/90001192.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90001192/9b4fb514c6-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90001192/9b4fb514c6-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"David E Hollingsworth","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Monroe_Shipe_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">David E Hollingsworth</a>, <a href=\"http://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:Monroe_Shipe_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40970303","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_Lawn_Historic_District_(Austin,_Texas)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7460543"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/travis-county/shadow-lawn-historic-district-90001192/"}
